House of Shabu II: Delight in Elevated All-You-Can-Eat Shabu Shabu and Sushi in Anaheim

House of Shabu Shabu is my favorite restaurant. The meat is high quality, the ingredients are always fresh, and the staff is very friendly. Definitely the best shabu shabu in OC!

Everything was great: the food, the server was extremely polite and helpful, explained how everything works and brought the food soon after we made an order. We enjoyed hot pot with beef, pork belly, vegetables, shrimp, fish balls, rice, California & cucumber & crunchy & avocado rolls and also tried traditional Japanese non-alcohol drinks. The ice cream at the end was like the icing on the cake. The prices on the menu are definitely worth it. Highly recommend to visit this place.

My friend suggested this place for dinner ! I had never tried the Irvine location. But I was really grateful this one opened in Anaheim. Overall, the shabu shabu selections were pretty delicious ! We chose the House Special broth, which was really tasty ! The waiters were pretty attentive and checked on us! The restaurant itself also had a comfy and casual ambiance for great conversation with family and friends ! However, according to my two friends who have been here before, they remembered (but after our 90-minute sit-down time was over) that we were supposed to get complimentary ice cream at the end of our dinner. It seems like the staff forgot to give this to us. We would still come back ! But for sure, we will remember to remind the staff about our ice cream !

My wife and I frequent this place quite a bit. We like to sit at the bar. It looks like a diner converted for shabu with all the hot plates. What it lacks in atmosphere is makes up for with quality and prices. Both are competitive for sure. The place is pretty clean other than the occasional empty cardboard box from produce in the kitchen walkway. I can appreciate the staff, its usually 2 people running all the food and taking care of customers, so they might be blazing past you, but they will stop on a dime if you're in earshot. Its a fast paced place you could spend hours at. A little bigger than a hole in the wall, but no less a gem. It's usually busy and its easy to see why. Limited seating and great prices for great food keeps the door bell ringing with new and ready willing buyers. A favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy.

Service was sooo slow. Had to keep asking the waiter for our food to come after waiting for sooo long. We didn’t even order that much every time kind of ridiculous bc the place wasn’t even that packed. The food was good though. I did AYCE. I loved the meat and the ramen!!! It was really good. The udon was decent. The sushi was good as well. The soup was also good.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Parking: 3/5 Family friendly: 3/5 Stroller friendly: 2/5 ADA accessible: 2/5 House of Shabu Shabu is literally around the corner from our house but I haven't been here since it was Slice Shabu. I was pleasantly surprised at all the meat, veggie, appetizer and broth options. Plus, you can either use a split bowl for two broths or your own broth bowls. Service is quick; although we did come right before dinner rush hour. There is plenty of parking as it's in a shopping plaza. However, depending on what time it is, will depend on how busy the parking is. I would definitely return since it's so close to the house.

I was so happy while eating because the quality of the Kobe beef was outstanding. The beef was incredible, and the house-made tonkotsu broth and ponzu sauce were really special too. But what impressed me the most was the kindness and excellent service from the staff. The sushi rolls were made fresh to order, and the tempura was perfectly crispy and delicious. Overall, it was the best meal I’ve had for the price — absolutely worth it!

Such a delight dinning experience. Our service was very knowledgeable as we only ear HALAL Food. He explained all haha options. My 5 star for him. Food was amazing, fresh and the both for shabu shabu was yummy my kids really enjoyed it . Bit pricey but I understand FYI we traveled from culver city totally worth it .
