Have them turn your leftovers into porridge. The soup is great, but this turns into an amazing Japanese risotto good for many days later

Best new Shabu place in town. Great quality meats and attentive service. Also best ponzu sauce. Make sure to order the porridge at the end. Really unique and fulfilling - you can even take it home!

The edamame is really good. After you are finished ask them to make either the soup or porridge with your remaining rice, veggies and noodles (for soup). You can take them to go if you're full already

Very gaijin Shabu Shabu place. Meat cut to thick, ponzu was weak, small portions. Seemed to cater to young white Newport crowd who don't know better. Recommend California shabu shabu instead.

No place for handicapped in wheelchair to sit.

100oz Beer Tube isn't that much beer--novel nonetheless.
