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 came here twice during my recent work trip to Irvine. This place is a gem! Meats, seafood and veggie plates are all fresh, with great quality. The owner is extremely nice. All staff is attentive and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

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.

I loved the vegetarian pot, so many good veggies! It had broccoli, cabbage, spinach, mushrooms, carrots, onions, squash, and tofu. The staff was very nice and checked on us quite often. I can never quite finish the last bowl of soup! By the time it comes around I’m so stuffed. They give you a to-go bowl if you need it though. I will be back!

I’m hesitant to leave a review. I don’t want this place blowing up so much I can’t get a table. This might be the best shabu place in southern California. An unassuming little place tucked away in a hip little strip mall. The prime rib is melt in your mouth, buttery. Pork belly, same story. The muscles were fresh. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was energetic. They have an amazing menu, Scotch selection and a good amount of beers to choose from. I’m picky as hell and the food was better than expected. It’s a bit pricey but worth every penny.

Best hot pot I have ever had! Fresh food, fresh vegetables with meat or shrimp options of your choice. If you have an appetite don’t worry they offer servings such as King Kong that will fill you tummy. Very fast service, be careful using the HOT DROPS too many may burn a whole in your stomach so if you want to add a kick to your food add a couple drops. I am addicted to this meal.
