Slice Shabu

This is my whole family's favorite spot. Every time there's a birthday or occasion to celebrate, we're going to Slice Shabu. The food is incredible and with the hot pot experience, there is extra time to catch up and chat. I highly recommend the spicy miso and the 1855 Ribeye. My mom and I usually order a larger portion to split and it's perfect. Of all the hot pot places I've tried, this is my favorite for the food quality itself. 5/5!

I came here with two friends and found parking pretty quickly. The restaurant is located in union market (when you go up the escalators to the left, across from BWW). Once you enter, you go all the way down and it will be on the left hand side in the corner. There was a waiting list but no wait so we got sat down pretty quickly. The vibe was pretty relaxed and not too loud. Our server was Ali?? He was funny and went over how people usually eat the meal since I only had shabu once before and needed some guidance. The service was great and very quick! The lady that was getting our refill and checking in on us was ON IT! As for the food, I got the spicy miso broth with toro beef and it was DELICIOUS! Not too spicy and not too bland. I enjoyed it a lot ! For sauces, I got the spicy garlic (eh wouldn't get again) and the GOMA (I recommend this one) I didn't know what it was but was pleasantly surprised. I got the ramen noodles and did an extra serving! The extra noodle serving can be shared since it was more than the initial serving. I can't wait to be back again!!

Let me say the food and service were VERY good. Kind staff and high quality meat. I truly want to give this place a 4 or 5 star, however one thing that was sad to see was the health ramifications of eating there. There is zero reason why a restaurant should allow a nearly scolding pot of liquid to be poured into a plastic bowl to eat out of.This leaches and releases dangerous levels of PFAS and other forever chemicals into the food. This is so easily avoidable and comes across as negligent or lazy. I hope they put the same effort into their utensils as they do their service. Easy fix! Customers should be able to enjoy this restaurant without worrying about damaging their hormones. In the age of information ignorance is a choice.

The service was excellent. Cindy was very friendly and helpful. The shabu was delicious. I got the shabu combo. The Tom Yum broth was tasty and flavorful. The thin slices of toro and short rib were just a perfect combination. My partner got the spicy miso broth with shrimp and pork belly. The shrimp were big and juicy. The flavor of the spicy miso was delicious, too. The ambiance was cozy and quiet. I would recommend this shabu place. I would come back again.

We stopped by Slice Shabu for an early dinner on a Friday evening and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. The restaurant has a cozy setup with a bar area, and each table comes equipped with electric heat tops, which added a nice interactive element to the experience.I ordered the Shabu A Combo with ribeye and beef belly, and both meats were tender and delicious. The broth was flavorful and satisfying. My husband went with the beef bowl, which he also enjoyed. We added a cucumber salad and edamame as sides, though the edamame arrived late--I think there may have been a mix-up, and someone else received our order.The staff was friendly and accommodating, making the overall experience enjoyable. Parking was easy to find in the nearby garage, with plenty of spots available.Overall, Slice Shabu is a great choice for a casual yet flavorful meal with solid service and convenient parking.

Went for lunch with 2 friends. 1st time for all of us. Unfortunately, Union Market was desolate, so sad to see it this way. Such a great venue. Anyhow, the 1 employee was attentive and very helpful explaining everything. I am plant based so he gave me suggestions to order. My friends had different meats and vegetables. Everything was fresh and delicious; the service was great (we were the only ones there sadly) We will definitely come back. It was a fun experience cooking our food while we chatted. Pricing is reasonable for portions given; we all took food home We will certainly return. I wish more people would give Union Market more support, it's mostly small businesses.

I am a sucker for some good hot pot and this place did not disappoint! This restaurant is located in the Union Market shopping center. You can park in the parking garage and go to the top floor and it's on the opposite side of the elevator. I think the location is great considering you can shop around while you wait for your table or after you eat. We got some drinks at the bar near the restaurant and waited until our table was ready. I will say this place is a bit pricey... but it will fill you up if you order right. I typically eat a "large" plate at other shabu spots so I opted for Combo A where you can choose 2 out of 8 meats but there is also Combo B where you can choose 2 out of 4 premium meats. They both come with 2 sauces, choice of 2 rice/noodles, veggies, and 2 soup bases. It was more than enough food and probably a bit too much lol. The also have an option if you are sharing meat with someone to add a share plate that comes with a pot of broth, 1 sauce, rice/noodles, and veggies. They also offer plates of meat by the oz. The restaurant is pretty small so I would get there earlier if you're going on the weekend or for dinner.

This was our first hot pot experience, and it certainly won't be our last! We began with the plum wine and strawberry nigul--both were absolutely AMAZING. The hot pot itself was incredibly fun, and the staff didn't blink when someone in our group asked for a fork because they weren't confident with chopsticks.

Babe wanted boba, but he was extremely hungry, so we decided to stop in here since it was close to a boba place. Personally, it's been a few years since I've last stopped into the Union Market in the Kaleidoscope, but boy oh boy, how things have changed.We were quite confused on how to locate Slice, but if you walk past all the empty shops (can literally hear a pin drop here), you'd find Slice in the far back left corner. We arrived right around opening so there wasn't a hostess at the front to greet, but they only had one person managing the entire dining room. She was fabulous by the way!Menus are available by QR code and you go down the list for selection. Choose your meat/protein starting at 4oz, 6oz, 8oz and 12oz. We both decided on 8oz. Babes got the lamb and I got the ribeye. The lamb was a bit tough and dry. The marbled ribeye was the better choice as it was very tender.For broths, only miso or kombu are $0. Everything is else is an extra charge ranging from $1 - $3. We got the free options since we were already spending $30 odd bucks for protein alone. Other things that come with your meal include two choices of dipping sauce, veggies, choice of rice (white or brown), and noodles (ramen, udon, glass noodles). Veggies and rice are unlimited. Glass noodles are $1 extra. We got three rounds of napa (about 3 leaves for refill portion) and an extra bowl of rice.Overall, it was a bit much to be spending $70ish bucks for lunch. We weren't huge fans of how they served all your food in these bento type boxes as it took up so much table space. It was aesthetically pleasing, but once you've cleared all your veggies or meat, it felt cumbersome. Nice to try and we did leave feeling full, but I don't think it was worth it.

Delicious shabu! Highly recommend! We usually make a reservation as it can get pretty busy, especially on weekends. There's not many people serving the restaurant, but the service is still excellent. There are a lot of customizations, such as choosing the meats, sauces, broth and noodles. The meat is delicious. Highly recommend the chicken broth for the base. The veggies come with unlimited refills and taste good dipped in the sauces they provide. The soup becomes delicious and full of flavor after cooking everything in it and is perfect for adding the noodles at the end to make a noodle soup.
