Reviews
One of the things that really sets Oishi apart is how fun the atmosphere is, especially for families. They use a few robot servers to bring items to the table, and it adds a playful touch that kids absolutely love. It keeps the experience entertaining while still being efficient and well-run.
Overall, Oishi Shabu Shabu is a solid choice for anyone looking for a casual, enjoyable meal with good food and a bit of novelty. Whether you’re going with kids, friends, or just stopping by for a comforting solo dinner, it’s an easy place to enjoy fresh ingredients, good flavors, and a laid-back vibe that makes you want to come back.
Note on dipping sauce: I would not recommend adding the peanut sauce. Be careful because there are two sauces that look similar, and you should pick the one with a lighter brownish tone. I might be remembering it wrong, but you can do a quick taste test since the peanut sauce tastes really bad. Other than that, just mix everything else together and you should be good.
However, the service to order and eat was slow. There was only one guy working when we arrived around 5 and we had to sit and wait quite a while so he could get to other tables before being able to order. He didn’t even ask us if we wanted drinks and the service was so slow we didn’t try to find him. Water wasn’t refilled either.
The soup base we ordered was bland (even though we asked for spicy it wasn’t). Some of the flavor offerings did help but you’d need to really know how to make the flavors pop more, or suggestions, but again, hard to get service. Our dirty plates stayed on the table until it was time to go.
When I asked for the check, a new server came and put on “mandatory tip” which honestly, I always tip, but the service was so poor I wouldn’t have done 18%!!!! It’s not like it was a full dining experience or anything! At $40 a head, I would skip here a second time.
It was my daughters birthday so I tried not to complain, but it was just an ok experience.
This restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat hot pot experience. The weekday lunch is $26, while dinner is $34. On weekends, the price is $34 all day. They have a good variety of soup bases, and we particularly enjoyed the spicy tonkotsu broth.
The selection of proteins was impressive, especially the prime cuts of meat, which stood out as the highlight for us. However, we found the lamb and ribeye cuts to have a bit too much fat, which wasn’t to our preference. The meats are delivered to your table by a robot server, and the service was fast and friendly. They also offer an unlimited buffet and sauce station, featuring a variety of hot foods, salads, and seafood. One downside was the strong seafood smell upon entering the restaurant, which was somewhat off-putting.
Overall, if you’re looking for a hot pot experience with a wide selection of options, this place is worth considering.
