Shabu Wara

My favorite Shabu place!The quality of the meat is top tier.American, Australian, and Japanese Wagyu.They also have USDA PRIME. How can you not love this place!And I haven't even started on the flavor of the broth!The spicy Tonkatsu is by far my favorite. Ask for garlics and green onions to make the perfect bowl. I always order the spicy tonkatsu with a large Zabuton and ramen.Also don't sleep on their appetizers. The staff is friendly and they always have upbeat music playing. They also show sports games on the multiple TV's they have. My family and I come here atleast 4-5 times a month. The owners are really nice and treat you like family. Special shout out to Dayton. He has a sauce mixture that he recommended and I haven't looked back since. Thank you!

We ordered: USDA Black Angus Prime RibeyeAngus Beef Chuck PrimeAustralian Wagyu Chuck Eye SteakWith sukiyaki broth.Love the presentation of the meats. They're high quality, properly sliced, and big slices. Sukiyaki broth was good and so were the sesame and ponzu sauces.I like that you can order the meats as either a side order or as a regular/large plate with an assortment of vegetables and carb. They skimp on certain items in the veggies like a few strands of enoki and Udon.If you want rice for carb option, it's a plentiful bowl. But if you want vermicelli, it's a small portion.Whether it's worth it depends on which grade of meat you get, how many you're splitting with, and how full you want to be.Service was good and friendly.

We went last night for the first time and wow were we impressed! We started off with an order of the spicy tuna on crispy rice - it was honestly one of the best we have had and SO fresh! Then on to the shabu, the meat was so lean, tender and FRESH (Certified Angus Beef Chuck Prime) and the broth was so flavorful (I got the Tonkotsu and my husband go the spicy miso). Since it was our first time we added "carbs"/noodles thinking it didnt come with it, but the veggies already come with it so i wouldnt add extra in my opinion. Service was great! Our waiter was by himself and he held it down with a semi packed restaurant!We will for sure be returning!

Food quality and service was exceptional. However, what really impressed us the most was the fact that when I had accidentally left my card after paying our server Bianca ran outside to the parking lot to let us know and was kind enough to run back and grab it for us. Overall experience was 100 out 10. Thank you Bianca you're incredible!

This is where you can get wagyu hot pot with no added frills for under $35. Choose the size of the protein you want, and your usual accoutrements of broth, veggie plate, and rice are included.I've never seen spinach ramen before, and it's sooo worth the upgrade.What I loved most is that you can tell this place is beloved by the community when almost everyone there are return customers.If you're around Chino, check it out and let me know what you think!Thanks for reading! ^-^

The service was amazing. I wish I remembered the name of the waiter but he was fantastic. He made us feel very welcome and gave us his top recommendations which is what we ended up ordering: premium beef toro and Australian wagyu chuck eye steak.He recommended the beef toro for fatty meat lovers, my brother, and the chuck eye for lean meat lovers. They were both amazing and exactly as he said they would be. Each order of meat comes with an order of veggies and carbs so the whole meal ends up being pretty filling. We chose the two most popular bases, tonkotsu and spicy miso, which were very solid choices on their own. I've been to some other places where the dipping sauces were necessary but I feel like dipping the meat and veggies in just the broth provided enough flavor. However, our waiter created a concoction for our refills that made them even better. He added creamy vegetarian to the tonkotsu and tonkotsu to the spicy miso. There were many tables inside and even outside (although that's for the cafe) and it was pretty empty when we went dined on Tuesday so we got seated right away and the food came out right away too. It's tucked in a plaza so I wouldn't have known about it had it not been for Yelp.

Food was good. Service was great. Pretty cool place to chill. Pretty delicious food love this place

Soup portions could be better, but over all it was a great eat. Taste was mid, nothing too special but for the price I guess you get what you pay for. Service n servers were great. Good place to eat will definitely be back.

I want to start off by saying that this is the first shabu place I have had in Chino. So I think I may be writing this from an unfair perspective but I really thought that for the price this was not worth it. AMBIANCEMy partner and I visited this location on a Monday evening and it was eerily empty, the decor is really basic (cherry blossom stickers), the walls were dirty (from dried broth splatter), and honestly just not a vibe.I would avoid going here for a first date. It is more like committed relationship, wearing stained sweats, greasy clipped up hair, and I am too tired to cook tonight vibes SERVICEOur server was attentive, nice, and helpful. We never felt ignored or forgotten. FOOD 1. Honestly all the meat was SUPER good and fresh. We ordered the pork belly, lamb, and some sort of Australian wagyu. 2. The broth was okay we had the sukiyaki (which was a little sweet for my preference but it is supposed to be sweet) and the spicy miso Tonkatsu (which was a little watery and bland) 3. But what makes this place mid is really the price. For the same cost I could have gotten maybe not as high quality meat but still extremely good AYCE in OC.Personally, I would rather just go to boiling point in chino hills than here if i have a hot pot craving or I would just wait to go to OC on the weekend for better AYCE

this place is BOMB!!! their meat is 10/10 broth 10/10 TAKOYAKI and Dynamite Mussels 10/10! Music 100/10! also quick service and Family Friendly!!
