shabushabu Mayumon

We really enjoyed this 12 person counter shabu dinner! It's basically cuts of premium meat (American wagyu, Japanese wagyu, and pork belly) dipped in hot water and served with different sauces/toppingsThe present each pair of people with the thin slices of meat at the beginning, and one person will attend to you the entire dinner, dipping each slice for a few seconds.It didn't seem like that much food when we first saw all the meats, but we both left so full. They also give you appetizers, rice, noodles, and a dessert so I think it's worth the $150 price tagThere's also no option to order additional pieces (like at sushi omakase), which makes the payment process super easy at the end.There are 2 seatings: 5:30 and 8:00pm, and it lasts about 1.5 hours

Have you ever heard of shabu (hot pot) omakase? Come with me to this cool place!I had:1. Mozzarella wonton and tomato sauce 2. Hand roll 3. Sake bottles - 2 bottles to pre-game while eating dinner 4. House made Yuba (tofu skin) with uni (sea urchin) 5. Sake shot 6. Steam egg roll with soup 7. Shabu beef slices, Wagyu included 8. Beef with truffle sauce (to be continue)This place brings shabu to the next level. I have never been or heard about this experience before, so this was my first time! And I love it. They only serve about 10 guests per night, making the dining experience very exclusively. We came in a big group that sit more than half of the bar. There were 2 servers who prepare and introduce the food very carefully. I like the service as well as the interior design of this place. Simple yet very convenient.

Food 9/10Wow. Every single piece of shabu shabu blew my mind away. We had A5 Miyazaki wagyu + wagyushu (?) from the US, paired with different types of sauces and flavors that really brought out each piece. The A5 was so light and soft, instantly melting in my mouth, yet didn't feel excessively fatty. I really enjoyed the eggplant appetizer as well, even though I don't like eggplant at all. The fried lotus had a solid crunch and mix of seasoning, but it wasn't my favorite, while the duck salad was a bit bland. Nevertheless, the stars of the show were the wagyu pieces, cooked just right in the boiling water. My favorite might be the first A5 piece dipped in soba sauce, very simple and straight to the point. Other highlights included the wagyu with uni as well as the sesame sauce and homemade soba.Atmosphere 10/10Super cute and intimate spot. Their bathroom was hidden behind a fAKE WALL it was so cool. I am also obsessed with their water glasses.Service 10/10Very friendly and attentive, really appreciate it!

We live in the neighborhood and have always we wanted to try it out. We were a bit skeptical at the price for shabu but finally decided why not. The space of small and only consists of bar seats. It is very Japanese, is the best way to describe it. The service is very prompt and personal as your server will also be the person that cooks for you. In terms of the food, it is mostly wagyu. There's a few other items but I think it's a really good showcase of different ways to eat wagyu. You really get to experience the difference between American and Japanese wagyu too. The food was delicate and delicious overall. I did ask for more rice and was told no. It's not like you can pay for more rice, the answer was just no. We left full but not stuffed. Which is a rarity after eating shabu. We would come back but probably not for awhile as the menu is probably pretty much the same all the time.

If you love shabu and omakase, you're going to love this place! I definitely had my doubts because I wasn't sure if shabu really needed an omakase experience. This place is definitely pricy but I think it was well worth it! The wagyu was cooked perfectly and all the sauce pairings just worked. Restaurant was nice and quiet and service was immaculate.

3.5 stars in my opinion. The concept is nice and no doubt the ingredients and meats they use are top quality but for a coursed dinner it all starts to taste the same after the while. This is because since most of it is shabushabu they dip the meat in a broth and present it to you and you use the same dipping sauce the whole meal. This ends up being a little boring and the whole experience lacks some variety.

Shabu Shabu Mayumon is probably in my top 3 Shabu Shabu in the US, including another Shabu Shabu restaurant in Beverly Hills.Shabu Shabu Mayumon is amazing from the start to the end. This is a very tiny restaurant in lower Manhattan with only 6 or 8 seats at the counter bar.One person is serving you and one person is taking care of preparing the Shabu Shabu. This is a new concept in between Shabu Shabu and Omakase in a sense where the chef is cooking the meat for you in the Shabu Shabu and then serve it one by one in your plate.This is a dégustation of amazing fresh products including different types of A5. Overall it's worth any minute in this traditional restaurant. There is no surprise they received a Michelin Star.We will come back any time we can! Delicious and great moment.

omg FABULOUS every bite is so good and i absolutely loved each moment!the food: my favorite bites were the first couple of shabu moments with the A5 wagyu - it literally melts in your mouth. the omakase is one of my best experiences i've had in the city the space: intimate, seats 6-8 the service: they're so good at what they do. super attentive and sweet

The A5 miyazaki wagyu and washugyu omakase is steeped in authentic tradition and gingerly hand-wrapped with the attentive care and service from their small staff. They individually cook each piece for you, intermingled and paired with different sauces and accompaniments. The beef is a decadent, rich, unctuous, and buttery. It melts in your mouth. The beauty is in its simplicity, but done well. The richness can be overwhelming. It's on one hand robust and over-the-top, but meanwhile strikingly subtle. Between bites, service will intermingle interludes of different sauces, vegetables, seaweed, ponzu, etc. to cleanse the palate. But undoubtedly, the focus is on the luxuriously marbled and intensely flavorful wagyu. For some, this will be divine. But for others, I know it will be a monotonous greyscale.

One of the best Shabu Shabu experiences I've had in my entire life. The meat was so soft and melted in your mouth. I wished we got to drink some of the broth though! They turned it into a soba dish instead and it was the most underwhelming dish out of all of them. The waitresses were also super attentive too. One of them saw that I took out the wasabi in the earlier dishes and asked me if I wanted to excluded the wasabi out for the other dishes.Place is small; you sit at the counter! The price was about $150 per person but I'm definitely going again and taking my parents there!
