The first impression walking in was quiet and warm.
The space has a clean, minimalist Japanese style, with comfortable table spacing — not noisy at all, so it’s very relaxing for chatting and dining. The service is thoughtful too; they proactively remind you about refills and ordering, which is a nice touch.
Their broths are house-made, not heavy or overpowering.
They focus on a clean, natural flavor, so whether you’re cooking meat or vegetables, you can really taste the ingredients themselves — something I personally really value.
This time we ordered sets A, C, D, and E, which included:
• Nebraska Angus Ribeye
• SRF Wagyu beef tongue
• Japanese Sakura pork belly
• Japanese Kagoshima A5 Wagyu
They offer a wide range of options, from entry-level to higher-grade meats. The key point is —
you don’t have to order the most expensive set to feel satisfied.
If you enjoy slowly upgrading and trying different cuts, I think you’ll really like this style.
One more thing worth mentioning —
they have lunch specials on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays through Sundays,
from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with discounted pricing.
It’s definitely a great value if you come for lunch.
Overall, I’d say this place is perfect if you
want good-quality meat without anything too flashy,
or if you’re looking for a satisfying shabu-shabu lunch that doesn’t feel over-the-top.
The Soup Bases:
We tried two very different but equally delicious broths:
* Spicy Miso: This had a great kick without being overwhelming, providing a rich, savory depth that paired perfectly with the beef.
* Hotate Chicken: This was a standout: delicate, clean, and full of umami. It really allowed the natural flavors of the premium meats to shine through.
The Meat Selection:
The quality of the proteins here is exceptional. We sampled a variety of tiers:
* Japan Kagoshima A5 Wagyu: The absolute star of the show. The marbling was incredible, and it literally melted in the mouth. It’s worth the splurge for the buttery texture alone.
* SRF Wagyu Beef Tongue: Thinly sliced and perfectly tender with that signature slightly snappy texture. It soaked up the Hotate Chicken broth beautifully.
* Japan Sakura Pork Belly: Very fresh and sweet. It wasn’t overly fatty, offering a nice balance to the richer Wagyu cuts.
* Nebraska Angus Choice Ribeye: A solid, reliable classic. Even as the most “standard” option we ordered, the meat was high-quality, lean, and very satisfying.
The ambiance was perfect, and the service was phenomenal; they even drained the oil from my soup in the middle of the meal and continued to pour me soup refills! Can’t wait to visit again soon!!
I had ACDE:
1. Nebraska Angus choice ribeye
2. Wagyu beef tongue
3. Japan Sakura pork belly
4. Japan Kagoshima A5 Wagyu ribeye
Came here on a quiet Tuesday night there were 2 tables other than us. Tables are longer than they are wide so I was sitting closer to the neighboring table next to me than to my wife across the table. This made conversations interesting since the guy on the table next to me could hear me clearer than my wife…
Got the $28 “combo A” choice ribeye, $38 “combo B” prime ribeye, and a side of $16 6pc tongue. The choice ribeye was some of the worst meat I’ve ever had at a hot pot restaurant. It broke down in my mouth like sand. The prime ribeye my wife got was a little better but still not great. Each combo comes with 10 slices, but judging the thickness of the cuts I’d guess each cut was 1oz for a total of 10oz of meat. Very overpriced if you ask me. The veggies are minimal with cabbage, kale, enoki mushroom , 1pc of small tofu, 1/6 of a corn,
and a half block of udon. No rice included. Very disappointing. Did not feel like a $50 per person meal.
Ppl are going to praise the meat quality if you get the more expensive A5 Wagyu options but we weren’t looking to spend 80+ a head. And when would you complain about A5 quality. Another live and learn lesson.
Just opened last week, Arcadia welcomes a new restaurant called Shabubu specializing in Shabu Shabu of course with premium slices of Wagyu and other high end cuts of meat along with a fresh selection of seafood. You can pick among 6 different made from scratch soup broths and each set comes with a variety of vegetables , tofu and glass noodles.
If you love marbling, this is definitely for you. If you are afraid of fat, just look away or maybe just enjoy their seafood items.
This new spot opens everyday except for Wednesday and you can get 20% off from 11am-2pm. If you have bougie taste and appreciate Wagyu and other premium meats without putting a dent in your wallet, consider Shabubu when you are in Arcadia, CA.
