Shabu House

My Favourite Shabu rest in San Francisco

This is literally my go-to Shabu place in SF! The one here on Ocean Ave. is less crowded and has better parking than the other Shabu House's around the city.Their menu is relatively simple (which is a good thing), and they have some excellent sauces for their meats. But more importantly, their soup base/broth is very flavorful (which is what definte a shabu place in my opinion). I usually get the spicy miso broth.I usually order a large beef combo which comes with a large plate of beef and a big bowl of assorted veggies.The service is swift and efficient, and the wait is usually not that long for this location.Did I mention that you get your choice of green tea or red bean ice cream at the end of your meal? #winningIf its a cold and foggy day in SF and you're craving something hot, definitely come here for Shabu!

Hands down great quality of meat with a decent price of $33 per person AYCE hot pot!! Service is a little lacking but their beef makes up for it. Btw their ginger chicken soup is actually superdelicious. You can tell that they put in a lot of effort into their soup base and it makes a whole lot of difference. Most hot pot place will only add hot water or mix of chicken soup your broth when you need to add extra soup. But they actually add the original soup that you ordered, and that is pretty awesome!
