Bug in food | Poor response from Manager.

We dine here pretty regularly about once a week or every other week. Service is usually fine. The staff is young and, from my perspective, they generally do their best.

This visit was different. About halfway through my first bowl, I noticed a dead fly in my soup. It was fully cooked, so I assume it came in with the vegetables or ingredients and had been there the entire time. Obviously, that was pretty gross.

That said, I wasn’t offended and didn’t blame the employees. These things can happen, and I don’t expect staff to be able to control every variable. I mainly wanted to let them know so they were aware.

I mentioned it to our server who was actually outstanding and he said he’d get the manager. The manager came over (an older gentleman) and immediately asked, “What’s the problem?” I explained that I didn’t have a problem, I was just informing them that there was a fly in the food.

His response was, “Well, what do you want me to do?”

That caught me off guard. At a minimum, I expected an apology or some acknowledgment that this was unpleasant. Instead, he seemed irritated. After an awkward pause, he said he could remove one bowl from the bill.

I told him that was fine, but again, my intent was simply to inform them.

His reaction felt dismissive and almost annoyed, which was surprising and disappointing. Because of how the situation was handled – not the incident itself, it makes me not want to return.

For that reason, I’m giving Shabuya a one-star rating.

Our first Shabuya experience and we loved it!From the moment we entered the staff was welcoming and attentive. Great customer service ❤️ we enjoyed the experience of making our own food and had a great conversation with our family. The space was very clean, floors, booths, plates etc. the air circulation is great! Even though there was a few of us the scent of the whole restaurant wasn’t overtaken. I mention it as my son is sensitive to too many overwhelming scents.

First time at the Kapolei location after trying the Ala Moana location. On par. Fresh seafood and vegetables. Service was quick and the staff were very courteous.

Went there Friday about 1245p with the family, 6 of us. Lots of free parking. Of course it was nice and clean. The service was prime. The buffet line had more than the ala moana location… more seafood, my fave. The meats were cut perfect. Needed a little more flavor in the bases, but pretty decent. I would go here again

We greatly appreciate all the staffs immediate action both on cleaning used dishes and always asking if we wanted to order more.
Beyond stoked having our nine year anniversary here and looking forward to our next visit!
Thanks again Aisha for ensuring we had a Blast!!

Came here for early father’s day lunch. Very nice place, very good food, staff was friendly. Everything was good. If you want hot pot ayce, this is where you NEED to go. I love the seafood selection, they had blue crab and fish filets. Meats ordered were pork belly, wagyu, ribeye, and more. They also have a sauce bar. Definitely would come here again.

Also, no reservations, they have a waitlist. Recommend going at open with an appetite.

New place in Waipio. Staff is excellently trained. Loved our dinner. Spicy samgipsal was a bit thick for my liking. Love the entrance & banchan – perfect for 2.

Shabuya Kapolei, in my opinion, is better than the Ala Moana location. Came on a Saturday around 530pm, and there was already a 30 minute wait. This was even with signing up for the Yelp waitlist. I signed up while across the street at Costco (you need to be within 5 miles of the restaurant), and it quoted me up to a 33 minute wait. You do have to actually make it there to check in, at which point it seems like the wait time actually restarts (i.e., even 20 mins into my wait time, when I arrived they told me another 30 mins for a table). Instead, they offered me bar seating, which would be immediate with no wait. You get ID’ed at the hostess stand if you choose this option, but you don’t actually have to order any alcohol. The bartenders are your actual servers, and they were pretty on top of it despite also having to make drinks for everyone. The buffet line seems to mirror the same options as the Ala Moana location, with sections for veggies, noodles, fish balls, and seafood. The seafood is where you’ll see most people go to get their money’s worth, with crab, shrimp, squid, mussels, clams, and swai.

There are a few broths to choose from, and this time I got the tonkatsu. The tonkatsu was well flavored and stood on its own, something that I feel like my past experiences at Ala Moana were lackluster with bland broth. My friend got the miso, which I did notice that when refilling with their pitchers of broth, the miso was not well mixed and accumulated at the bottom. Suggest the restaurant give it a swirl before refilling miso broths.

I’m not sure if the meat options have changed consistently, but I felt like there were more premium meat options here. They do slice them thin and each platter only holds so much, so a few rounds are definitely in order. Overall quality of beef and pork meats were good.

There are also ayce appetizers, of which we had the edamame (plain and garlic), japchae, volcano karaage, and takoyaki. All were very good, especially the takoyaki although mostly filler. Unfortunately the tempura options weren’t available, not sure what that was about as they had only just opened for the day.

Parking is plentiful, but will get packed as the restaurant does. I do enjoy going back, but if I had to wait an hour+ I’d probably move on elsewhere. Oh one con I noticed by the end of the meal was that there were a ton of flies swarming our area. Not sure if that had to do with those waiting in the lobby keeping the doors open, but some fly control is needed.

If you haven’t tried or found any good hot pot location, look no further. This shabuya location is a must try! My family and I go 3-4 times a week and let me tell you, they dont disappoint. Their menu consist of seafood, meat and veggies. They also serve alcohol and smoothies. Multiple different selections of all you can eat. They also host birthday celebrations where the workers would bang pots and pans and do a cute little chant for you and your party guests.

I cannot have welcomed another Shaybuya on this island any more than I have with this new location. I was more than happy to go to this grand opening as I love Shabuya and hate having to drive all the way down to Ala Moana to go to the often overcrowded other location. For those that don’t know, this is an AYCE buffet style hotpot restaurant where you get 90 minutes to eat. You can order as much meat as you’d like, but you will be charged for meat you didnt eat when you ask for the bill.

I did have reservations that this location would have less options than the bigger older one, but I was surprised to see they actually had more! The service was great, although a bit slow because it was a grand opening, so I’m sure thing will slow down a bit in the next couple of weeks. The wais was about an hour which is typical of Shabuya in Ala Moana and since this was the grand opening, I expected it to be incredibly busy anyways.

The food was outstanding and we all left very full. I will absolutely be back to this location!
