AlexJuly 7, 2016the sukiyaki courses will make your day so much better. lots of food, fun experience, intimate atmosphere, and ice cream for dessert! helpful staff, all around a wonderful spot for Japanese food.
Cloe BushnellJanuary 17, 2015Great for groups! Can get prime rib for $27/person for dinner which includes salad, rice, vegetables, and ice cream. Def make a reservation - even with one you might have to wait for a lil.
- eceMenJuly 1, 2017Prime rib eye shabu shabu for 2 is 27 usd / person and it is a MUST TRY. Also green tea flavored ice cream is amazing. The stuff is very friendly. Hope to come back soon!
CarolineJanuary 21, 2016For an amazing authentic experience, come here and don't hold back. The wait staff is willing to help and explain the process, and the food is incredible. Great ambiance, too.
AmateurConciergeOctober 24, 2016If you've never had shabu, this is yet another interesting E 10th Japanese spot to check. Shabu shabu = thin sliced meat cooked in boiling water, sukiyaki = thin...cooked in soy base, yakiniku = grill
The best time to go eat in this place is during the lunch special. No reservation needed, no crowds, pretty quiet and relaxing while enjoying $16.00 shabu shabu for each. No rush in finishing!!!
Justin BFebruary 4, 2018Love this spot! Been here several times and the food is always on point. Just a warning though the place is not very big so might be tough to fit a big group in.
CJJuly 15, 2017Traditional Japanese setting. Very good food. Lunch special is only $24 for two, coming with the best green tea ice cream ever
Vanessa GatlinDecember 10, 2013BuzzFeed says: "Step 1: Round up several friends. Step 2: Spend a couple hours DIY-ing your dinner around a steaming pot of yummy Japanese broth. Step 3: Congratulate self on an evening well spent."
Amanda WengJune 30, 2014The prime rib eye for shabu shabu is an extra $2/person (for lunch, at least), but it's so worth it! Meat is a lot more tender than the regular rib eye that you could get.

prime ribeye shabu shabu is a must. swirl it in the pot for about 2-3 seconds for the most perfect, medium rare, melt-in-your-mouth bite of meat. oh! and add extra scallions and radish to the ponzu sa
ReetOctober 13, 2013Can't go wrong w the prime rib eye shabu shabu. Add a side of beef tongue (sliced thin for a meaty lettuce crisp) and the snow crab too if it's still in season.
JohannaMarch 19, 2015Prime rib shabu shabu is delicious. If you don't feel like going through the whole hot pot thing, the pork kimchee bibimbap: holy smokes. So good.
Ru LuFebruary 25, 2015Legit Japanese Shabu-Shabu, sukiyaki, Nabe place -- coming from someone that grew up in Japan. The bar next door is also owned by the same owner!- Jess LeungApril 29, 2012The shabu-shabu is terrific, but the real star here is the bibimbap. I'm Korean, and they have one of THE BEST bibimbaps around. Intensely flavorful, it's hard to share.
NancerellaJanuary 21, 2015I think you can totally do this at home and have a party with friends... Let's just it at home with some grass fed rib eye and organic vegetables!!!
Emanuela FerrariDecember 29, 2013This is simply brilliant. You cook your own food, this makes everything easier and funnier. Love it.
dawn.in.newyorkJanuary 16, 2015Prime ribeye shabu $27. House sake both cold and warm are nice and only $6!
Linda ChowFebruary 11, 2015All 6 of us got the prime beef shabu shabu. It's clean, healthy, tasty, and comforting, but a wee pricey.
NavinOctober 31, 2012Prime rib eye shabu is good, but you have to do the pork belly appetizer (pictured) and the bibimbap.
ᴡ ElliotMay 11, 2015Get the shabu shabu. They can split the pot if someone in the group doesn't eat meat (😍)
Allie CaldwellApril 24, 2018Delicious, quick and attentive service. Very tiny, not much seating. Would make a great days spot.

Cuauthemoc SandovalAugust 7, 2014The rumors about the pork belly appetizer are true. Nom nom. Dumplings are on point as well.
There's usually an hour wait before 9:30pm but when you get in, shabu shabu with prime rib-eye is the way to go. Don't throw it all in at once, half the beauty is having everything freshly hot.
Best shabu shabu in nyc hands down! Great service too and when ordering the meal you get free ice cream green tea is my fave
Giovanni D'PalmaJanuary 2, 2016Fantastic place, the staff helped us get our bearings and the food was delicious.
Twiggy SCYOctober 6, 2013Had prime beef shabu shabu, and it was fine...not the best that I've had. Bibimbap was surprisingly good !
Y. NEGi SatoNovember 21, 2013nabe is actually good too. but u kinda need to know when to stop cooking and stuff.
Shabu A is the way to go. Also, best late night drunken-eats deal around ($14 full meal of prime rib-eye goodness from mid -1:30am on Fri and Sat)
Geoff KimFebruary 6, 2012Asian 5.4: This Shabu Shabu place in the East Village is pretty good and great if you like a warm soupy broth on a cold day.
Nina BahadurJune 8, 2011No reservation needed for Tuesday at 7:30pm. We loved the shabu-shabu - really good value for money. SO much food, and complimentary ice cream too!
Best shabu shabu in nyc! Open weekends between 12 and 3 for lunch!
Bitter RootJanuary 8, 2015Just get the prime rib. That, some sake, and maybe some ice cream is all you need.
L YNovember 17, 2018It can be up to 2-2.5 hour wait for a table for 2 if you come at 6:30pm on a Friday night.
Pulse RadioNovember 22, 2011If you ever needed to reconstitute your soul in advance of yet another big night-this is definitely the place to do it.
Sun A ChungNovember 24, 2014$16 each for lunch, $25 for dinner. Prime ribeye shabu shabu! Greentea icecream is served after.
AngelaOctober 5, 2011Everyone comes here for Shabu Shabu, but Don't sleep on the sukiyaki and the pork belly appetizer
Carlos RicartJuly 4, 2013Definitely get the shabu tatsu. The prime rib is good but the pork is great!
Omer ZachAugust 13, 2014If you wear glasses avoid the corner tables if you can. The shabu pot will steam them up like crazy.
Josh ClapperJuly 17, 2013The Shabu Shabu is a delicious DIY feast but it's also a ton of food, prepare yourself!
