Jazz Cat Fusion Shabu

It has been some years since we've been here. Came back because my daughter was craving for shabu and wanted her BF to try it. Place has been renovated and more lighting installed. I remembered it being a little dark. Prices are reasonable for the amount of meat and veggies that come with it. I wished they could have changed the prices on their QR code menu since they are different from actual prices charged ( they have posted a note regarding this but better if it shows on menu ). It could be misleading to a lot of diners.Still a good spot after all these time although server could be a little attentive.

This was my favorite shabu spot back in 2018, and it's still one of the best! The variety of soup bases made it super easy to experiment and find your favorites, service is always rapid and fast, and back then, the prices were unbeatable for the quality and portions you got.One thing that sets this place apart is the variety of soup options--it's rare to find so many choices at a shabu spot. Plus, the T-Rex option is a game-changer if you're a meat lover! You get a bigger meat-to-veggie ratio without paying extra, which is such a great deal.The food is still really tasty, though I've noticed a slight dip in quality since 2018. It's nothing major, but it's worth mentioning. I still wish they'd open a location in OC because, for the price and value, this place is hard to beat. Definitely a go-to spot if you're in the area!

The food here was delicious! My cousin and I both got premium beef, spicy pork broth and Taiwanese spicy broth. The Taiwanese spicy broth was really spicy (the kind that tickles your throat). The spicy pork broth was easier to eat. Along with the broth and meat we got cabbage, broccoli, noodles, crab sticks, a fish ball and eggs. I think we got a good amount of meat and veggies for the price.When we walked in there was a tablet to sign up for the waitlist. It was 8:30 pm on a Saturday night and wasn't too busy. We only waited a few minutes before being seated. The service was great, the workers were consistently walking around and checking in on us. The seating was comfortable with booths and chairs. There were four burners on our table, but there were larger tables than ours if you have a bigger group. Overall I would come back so I can try the other broths :)

Downhill since pandemic. Do not recommend. And expensive. Meat quality and portion was not good at

Haven't been here in years but Jazzcat has always been a staple in the 626. I haven't been in so long that they now have an AYCE option. My party of 6 arrived around 7PM on a Saturday and did the AYCE menu and it ran us about $50 a person. We tried the short rib plate, premium beef plate, lamb, and pork. Overall I enjoyed the short rib plate the most with my spicy miso soup. I didn't really want rice today and they have instant ramen and udon as an option to change it up.

Just not variety of choices of food for AYCE shabu shabu! Way too expensive for the price! Will not come back again for AYCE

Tried the ayce for the first time... everything was delicious very good on a. Cold cold day warms you up really well .. service was great you get a good variety of soup bases and dipping sauces but just be aware certain soups bubble over more than others

It's been a hot minute since I've been here.Came here w my girlfriend along w our girls to start off a mommie & mee date. 06.24.24during dinner time a little past 5 on a Sunday.No wait and we were able to get seated right away. Wasn't busy at all.Service was fast and great.The associates/servers kept checking in on us along w making their rounds and was easily to flag down for extra utensils/dipping sauce etc.Now offering AYCE. Located in same plaza as Half & Half, Slurp Ramen, Pelicana chicken, Junbi Boba to name a few. Parking is easy accessible.

The new all you can eat menu is really nice! The price is solid and it includes all their meats including lamb! Service was quick and they bring everything to your table instead of needing you to get everything yourself. It includes their minced pork belly rice which I could eat a hundred bowls of! Come check it out- the old menu is still available too

Babe, wake up. New Jazz Cat AYCE update just dropped.Lunch pricing is $26.95 from 11:30 to 3:30.Dinner pricing is $36.95 from 3:30 to closing.You can also add additional stuff (at an addl cost obv) or upgrade to their premium menu which offers seafood.My wife and I said screw it and decided to give their AYCE option a try. In a way, our usual order was better. We typically share a pot and order an extra bowl of rice and some other tasty sides and it's always more than enough.The AYCE experience kinda makes you want to eat more so you get your money's worth, so you aren't really appreciating what's in front of you (in my opinion).Other huge downside was the steep cost. It cost us a staggering $94 after tax and tip whereas our usual tab is around $50-$60? I guess it was cool being able to order another broth and trying out different sauces since my wife and I always tend to stick to the usual (Spicy seafood essence and satay sauce). The Taiwanese Spicy Satay was just *alright.* We've tried their other broths as well and they were also just okay. The Spicy Seafood Essence is by far the best broth we've had.Worth it? Not in my book. My wife and I will stick to their regular menu. In short, I feel like I got the same level of satisfaction/experience, but at a significantly higher cost. Maybe the AYCE thing wasn't meant for us, but maybe it will be for you!
