Paper Pot Shabu

It's been a while since I've been here. Pre pandemic I believe. Prices are still fairly reasonable but the once complimentary broth are now $2 and up.There's no paper menu and you order off an iPad type tablet. Average price for a dinner combo is $25. It's your protein, plate of vegetables, rice and dipping sauce. The default broth would be the water and seaweed. It's still a good value if you're not looking for all you can eat. The 10 oz of meat was just fine for me and I left full but not stuffed.

This place is a STRUGGLE to find lol. It's located inside the plaza so you have to go in and take the elevator up. But this place's food is decently priced for the quality! I think this concept is so unique and it was fun trying it out. I picked the choice ribeye with tomato broth and it was really good! 10 oz. of ribeye for $30, which includes veggies for free. You can upgrade to get more veggies and dumplings for $4 too! Overall for two people, we spent $70 (before tip) but obviously the price depends on the meat you ordered!The service was okay, the servers were really nice but at times it was hard to get ahold of them. I would definitely recommend this place to others who love trying new hotpot/ shabu places!

This hotpot place is very much reminiscent of Jazz cat, however the only difference is that it's in a basket and paper! I thought the menu was a little confusing to understand because it wasn't really explained to us when ordering. Inside they have plenty of tables and for parties of all size. The soups were okay, and it was fun to try

Really enjoyed this place. Super clean inside. The restaurant is upstairs in a nice 2 story building with ample parking. Good, clean food. I walked away with a good feeling.

I'm not gonna lie, this place has a pretty interesting concept. They use wooden baskets with what looks like construction paper with a coating as the soup pot, hence the name Paper Pot Shabu. Paper didn't fall apart, and lasted through the entire meal. Meat quality was great, good assortment of veggies, and I almost had to get rolled out with my friend. Servers were super attentive and nice. Try this place! ENJOY! PS: They've got a parking lot. No need to fret!

I highly recommend trying Paper Pot for their amazing soup base, particularly the Miso Pork Bone Broth which is bursting with flavor and richness. However, for the price, the meat portion felt a bit lacking, and it would have been great to have more sides like fish cake or mushroom included. The ambiance was quiet since we were the first ones there for dinner, and the service was excellent with fast food delivery and attentive order-taking.

It's not as good as it once was, not sure exactly what's changed. The service wasn't good, that's for sure. We had to wave the server over several times. This place used to get so busy and it isn't anymore. Something has definitely changed and I'm not sure we'll be coming back.

Happy New Years Everyone:We started the New Year by eating healthy at one of our favorite shabu restaurant Paper Pot Shabu. We got there at 12:30 on January 1st. It was busy as usual. We waited 10 minutes to be seated. I ordered the curry broth with tofu/mushrooms platter and my wife ordered the chicken broth with 6 oz. of chicken. We skipped rice. Everything was delicious and fresh. DJ's rating: 4.80/5.00Would I come back? Definitely Yes.

What drew me in was the use of paper for their shabu pot. I have never seen any other shabu place use this method. I thought it was a cool experience. It didn't change how the soup tasted or food boiled but it was a unique and interesting concept that I liked. The servers were super nice and attentive. The one thing that did bother me though was their rule that a party of two isn't allowed to sit at tables meant for four on the weekends. I came on a Sunday night so it wasn't busy. There were a lot of empty tables of four but none available for the sections of two. No one was ahead of our group but they still made us wait because of that rule. We sat there and waited as more parties of four came and filled the restaurant. Even with more parties coming in, there were empty tables we could've been seated in earlier. As time passed and no other parties were coming, they finally sat us... at a table of four. I think this rule would be okay if the restaurant was busy, but having an empty restaurant and making your customer wait for no reason is ridiculous.We both ordered the American Wagyu 6 oz. It came with a very small portion. It was basically 6 slices of meat which is expensive for its price point. I got the spicy pork broth. It wasn't as spicy as I hope it was. I wish there were spice levels. However, I liked how they will refill your soup base with the soup itself and not a generic stock base. The vegetable platter was decent though. I liked how it came with udon and vermicelli, as well as, bok choy and napa. Overall, I am glad I didn't come hungry because their portions would leave me wanting more and at the price point of almost $40 after tip they should give you more.The location of this building was also strange. You have to go inside an abandoned office building-like structure and up the stairs to see it.

Came here on a Friday night around 7:30pm with no wait for three people. Haven't been here in a while but they have a new iPad system to order. You put in your order on a tablet and return it to your waiter. Some notable changes in the menu includes hella extra charges for items that would previously not be extra. For example, it was $2 extra for miso pork broth and $1 extra brown rice (which they were out of). Also their meat is quite pricey but pretty good quality. Something I found interesting was their prime ribeye 10oz was $41 vs 10 oz American wagyu $33. Veggie options includes: regular, low carb, and WOW (costs extra). I ordered the miso pork broth with 10oz American Wagyu and Low Carb Veggie Plate. I love the broth here because it's so yummy and clean. The beef was great and I couldn't even finish it. As for the veggie plate, the difference between the low carb and regular is the low carb includes kale and more veggies while the regular one includes udon and glass noodles. I'm glad they had this option as I was on a low carb diet. All combos come with rice. Another thing I love about this place is that when you ask for more soup they add the same original broth you ordered, not a plain broth. As for the service, the servers didn't come by often to check up on us so we had to call them over whenever we needed something but that wasn't a problem as both servers were extremely kind and attentive with the customers. Side note: My parents apparently met the owners a couple years ago at the Costco Business Center and saw them purchasing meat from there. Overall I give this place 4/5 stars because the food is delicious but was taken aback by the extra charges.
