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!

Amazing japanese whiskey selection, great food, great broth, and they have some legit spicy options I get a full dropper of pure cap every time. Try to visit every time I go back to SoCal

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.
