Shin-Sen-Gumi Shabu-Shabu Dining

For only $35, you get 90 minutes for AYCE shabu shabu! Choices of meat include Angus beef, beef belly, pork shoulder, meatballs, and pork belly. Their Wagyu/Kobe is an additional $10 per plate. The quality of meat is melt-in your-mouth amazing! All of their sauces were tasty, I couldn't pick a favorite. You can also get unlimited amounts of curry rice! The sesame sauce is perfectThe service is nice and attentive. The restaurant is kinda small, I wish they can expand bcz this is prolly one of my favorite shabu places!

Reservations or not, this place needs to be better at time quotes. Especially when they say guests are given X amount of time to dine. The food on the other hand is no disappointment at all.

My brother had recommended Shin-Sen-Gumi Shabu Shabu since he used to live in Torrance. After returning to LAX after an international trip, I decided to finally try it since we would be passing by Gardena on the way home. Parking in the parking lot was plentiful, and since we arrived around 11:50AM (only 20 minutes after opening at 11:30AM, lunch only served on Saturdays and Sundays FYI, but dinner every day), the restaurant only had two other parties dining in.Service was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. As it was our first time here, the servers had to explain how to order everything on the paper slips. The interior was clean and modern, with a mix of counter/bar and table seating.As for the food itself, I did feel like the menu was a bit more limited, even if it were all-you-can-eat. There is no sauce bar, but you can request a base sauce and toppings to add-in. There are only four cuts of unlimited meat included (two pork + two beef), with wagyu beef available for an additional per-plate cost. The curry rice was tasty though, and the veggie plate was adequate. The beef/pork meatballs were not the texture I expected, and were crumbly as opposed to the dense paste I am used to from Asian hotpot meatballs.Overall, the broth and food were tasty, I just am not sure the value was there at this price point ($37.99 + tax as of January 2025). There is a 90-minute time limit for eating in.

We got the regular ayce option with tonkotsu & spicy umami broth.The tonkotsu broth was ok, didn't really stand out. The spicy umami broth was better but still wasn't that great.There were only 4 meat options. The meat was also ok, not the melt in your mouth type.The service was horrendous so be aware.

I always see a line for this place so decided to make a reservation and try it out! We got their sukiyaki broth and konbu broths. I understand sukiyaki is usually on the sweeter side but this one was really sweet. Konbu didn't really have much taste to it. The meats were really fatty so the broths kept getting greased up... overall decent place to go. All their other items like Vegetable plate, dumplings, fish balls, curry rice were good

My favorite shabu place in Gardena by far been coming here for years now and they never ever disappoint . I suggest reservations on the weekends and evenings to avoid a wait but it's never more than 40 min Service was maxing about out to Jake for providing us exceptional service and making pretty awesome suggestions . Will definitely be going back

Had an amazing time on Valentine's Day here. Mailey and the whole staff were amazing and went way above and beyond. The food was amazing. There was a guy working but didn't catch his name, he was awesome as well. We will be coming back for sure because of them and the food.

The best value! The service is good. Is it a real Shabu-Shabu? Probably not. I don't mind going back because of the quality of food they provide, considering what we pay.

Tf is the point of a phone number if you never want to answer the phone? Everyone doing dumb texting crap instead of just answering questions easily

Service was great. Food was delicious and the place was very clean. 4 people. The bill was under $200. Ayce
