Excellent service & atmosphere. It’s our first time here. I can only compare this place to Mokkoji Shabu which is our favorite Shabu place. We ordered the spicy miso & tonkotsu soups and both are very salty even after I added water to them. The beef is cut too thick for my taste and the Salmon tastes a little fishy. Vegetables are good & fresh. The soft tofu is excellent!

Fantastic Food, Outstanding Service, and a Welcoming Atmosphere
We had an incredible dining experience at California Shabu Shabu! The food was a solid 5 out of 5—flavorful, filling, and customizable to your spice preference. The ingredients were fresh, and the portions were so generous that we had to take some of our delicious noodle soup home.
Our waitress was exceptional. Knowing that we had only experienced all-you-can-eat Shabu before, she went above and beyond to teach us everything we never knew. She guided us through mixing the perfect flavors for our sauces and explained the best way to cook our vegetables and meat. Thanks to her, we now know to save half the cabbage and noodles for last, gently “swish swish” our meat to keep it medium rare, and turn the remaining broth into a flavorful noodle soup. Her attentiveness and knowledge truly elevated our experience.
The spicy margarita with ghost pepper salt and pepper on the rim was a standout—I’d definitely order it again!
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for both sports fans and families. TVs were mounted for those wanting to catch a game, while multiple families enjoyed their meals in a lively yet comfortable setting.
Overall, California Shabu Shabu is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic hot pot experience with top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!

Always a great experience here. The food is super delicious and we would always visit this place when we are in Irvine. The kobe beef is sooo good and tender that it melts in your mouth. The prime rib eye is also good. I think the 13oz is just enough if you are hungry. Parking is limited so plan ahead or go early.

I haven’t had Shabu Shabu in a long while so my buddy and I was nearby, so we checked it out.
I ordered the large pork belly, prime beef rib eye, Atlantic salmon with Sukiyaki broth. The beef and pork belly were excellent along with the salmon being the surprise for me(don’t overcook it and it’s amazing). For dessert I had the red bean ice cream twice and the sesame seed version. I had the red bean twice because it was that great.
I’d definitely come back again to try their other meats and their customer service is solid! Also some of the workers had amazing watches too!

Definitely the best shabu we’ve had in the state! Traditional Japanese style which you seat around the counter with a small pot for each person. The meat is cut to order with reasonable price. Flexible to order all kind of sizes. The hosts are super sweet. Been here multiple times and will definitely come back!

I didn’t think I liked shadushabu till I found this place. It is absolutely incredible, the set up is cool too. Sunny took such good care of us.

Felt like home eating here, service was amazing! The owner helped us since we were first time comers, and walked us through all the sauces, and process, and provided recommendations on how to best enjoy our meal.
Food was delicious as well. Didn’t expect to walk out of here full, but man I got a major food coma after eating (rice is AYCE btw).
Ordering requires each person to order their own meat plate, since everyone gets there own pot and veggies/noodles. We tried both the choice and prime beef; both options were high quality and well worth it, I’d recommend it!
PS the owner is one bangah from Hawaii
