Shabro Hot Pot Shabu Shabu

On this cold day I wanted Hot Pot and lucked up on finding this place. It was my fiancé's first time and they explained it in detail for him which was very kind. I enjoyed the food and the price was good. I will definitely be back again to try different soups bases.

If you enjoy decent human interaction and plates removed or more meat when you run out, turn around, get back in your car, and go somewhere else. Atmosphere is drab, food options are limited, and only one set price $30. No ice cream scoops available.Overall, I wouldn't go here again.

We walked into Shabro hoping for something light, not the all-you-can-eat hot pot. Upon entering, we looked at the menu and were greeted by the ladies upstairs. We decided to stay because the signs indicated that the first floor was for dinner and the second floor was for hot pot. Despite that, they kept calling us to go upstairs, assuming we wanted hot pot. After clarifying that we didn't, we went back downstairs. It took a while before we were greeted and able to order.The wait for the food was long, and we noticed a stark difference in service compared to a nearby table of three ladies. The staff was incredibly attentive to them, chatting and serving them quickly, while our experience felt overlooked in comparison. When our food finally arrived, it was fine -- the corn cheese was good, but the soondubu wasn't my favorite. The side dishes were decent.Unfortunately, it felt like we were treated differently, possibly because we weren't Korean. I understand cultural nuances in service, but it did make the experience uncomfortable and left us feeling unwelcome.

Food was fresh, hot, and spicy. Lots of veggies and things to add to soup. LOVED it! Ambiance was nice and beautiful decor! The waitress wrote our order down in Korean. Would highly recommend and we'll be back!

I love the variety of meat that you can get. They were fresh, tender and sliced into thin pieces. They were easy to cook through I alsk love all the sauces that they have at the end of the table. In addition, the vegetable, mushroom and seafood are all delectable and fresh. One thing I want to mention is the attentive service the staff offered. The guy there offered me a brand new hair tie to tie my long hair back. It did help me to keep my hair away from my face and I could eat in peace. The ladies there kept taking empty plates away and asking what we wanted to order. The plates there were also cleaned not like manna. I will definitely return and have some more all-you-can-eat hot pot there.

My first experience with Hot Pot. Since I arrived with someone familiar with this establishment we went to the second floor. I loved the bold decor! It was a fun and great experience for me to choose the vegetables that I desired in my hot pot. Customer service was great! We were greeted and asked where we would like to right away The waitress also asked if this was our first time here. My guest did not speak loud enough so she explained the meat choices and how the food was to go in the pot. My guest piped up and insisted that she be the one to show me how to regulate the temperature for the Hot Pot. The floor, tables, plates, silverware and buffet area were clean and well maintained. I liked the fresh selection of all the items. The food cooked fast and I enjoyed the flavor. It is all you can eat (cost $26 per person). We had meat treats left over. An additional $5.95 is charged if you want to take left over trays. I would return!

I came here ready to love this place. The idea of being able to customize my meal by picking all of the individual components and controlling the way it's cooked seemed perfect. I'm always happy to choose my own adventure! During lunch the meat selections are limited to only 4 types, so we ordered brisket, beef round and chicken breast (skipping the pork belly). However, all of the items in the self service area are still available.After loading up my silver plate with vegetables, noodles and seafood I was even more hopeful that this would be among the best meals I had ever had. But sometime between scorching my tongue on soup that was a couple degrees shy of liquid hot magma (my own fault) and biting into crawfish that was well past it's prime, I quickly realized that this wasn't the blissful experience I had anticipated. Things continued to go downhill when my spicy miso soup devolved from a mostly flavorless, yet passable, broth to a sour, dishwater-like sludge. I think the bad crawfish and poorly chosen soup base were to blame for that since everyone else at my table slurped down their soup with no complaints.Now I don't want to ignore the positive aspects of the experience because it certainly wasn't negative all-around. The dumplings and fish balls were pretty tasty. Also, the vegetable selection was abundant and everything seemed fresh. I really enjoyed trying all the different sauces as well. The dissatisfaction other reviewers have reported regarding the amount of meat they were served was not an issue for us at all. We got 6 trays of meat in total that ended up being sufficient for my family of 6. For dessert they have chocolate and vanilla ice cream, which is a nice way to help soothe those mouth burns!Oftentimes at an AYCE establishment it's difficult not to overindulge, even when the food isn't extraordinary. This was not such an occasion. At $23 per person for lunch, plus a mandatory 18% gratuity (for a server we saw twice within the first 5 minutes of being seated then once more to deliver the check) it was an expensive, barely 3 star meal.

In general, my experiences at the restaurant have been positive. It is worth noting that the temperature inside the restaurant can be quite warm, which I guess could be expected in a hot pot setting. But man, even when you're not near the steaming pots, there just doesn't seem to be any air moving. However, I believe that some basic upkeep and modernization is greatly lacking, particularly in the restroom area. The whole restaurant feels outdated and a bit neglected... also, dining guests shouldn't be able to see straight into the urinal from the dining area. Lunch prices are good! Drink prices are typical, if not just slightly high. The variety of options on the buffet is pretty good! There is room for improvement in terms of promptly refilling empty dishes, particularly for items like crab and shrimp. Nonetheless, I found the overall freshness of the food to be satisfactory and did not encounter any significant concerns. While I wasn't particularly impressed with the soup broth, it was fine. I would like for the Chinese broth to have more salt and Szechuan peppercorn. There is a hand washing station for guests, but the particleboard base is crumbling and the whole thing looks like it's about to fall over, be careful!I'd go back, but not really soon. It's worth checking out for sure!

Not fresh, not fresh, mediocre service and ingredients. Limited selection of meat choice and seafood not fresh. Was first visit and will not return. Google review is over rated.

This place is worth going to. When we walked in we were greeted and given the option to eat at the restaurant which is on the first floor, or the shabu shabu all you can eat hot pot on the second floor. We chose the hot pot. Amazing selection of meats, veggies, noodles and sauces. The staff was great, they took their time to explain how to prepare and cook our food and make sure we had the best experience. The atmosphere has great music, lots and lots of table and private party rooms. The price is per person and tip is included. Many options for those who don't eat meat. Must try!
