“ We went as a party of 5 with 2 octogenarians, so the highlight for us was how very patient and accommodating the staff were. Seating was comfortable even though the place was packed. Our female waitress frequently checked in on our elders even though she was already super busy. Now, on to the food. OMG, everything was delicious. We ordered 1 seafood, 1 lamb and 3 diff grades of beef and goodness, I'd gladly pay extra for the higher grades again. We did have to share a single gigantic pot, which was perfect for me since I had to do most of the cooking anyway. Hot pot is a sometimes food, and when the next sometime happens and I'm in S.F., I will no doubt come back here again. ”

“ MMMMMM YALL. I LOVE an interactive meal. Hot pot was genuinely so much fun and I don't know if it was just the amount of soju we all had that made it so fun but either way it was awesome. I ate soooo much. Not upset about it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Shoutout to the helpful servers! ”

“ OMG where do I start! This place was hands down the best shabu shabu I have had in awhile. The place is cute and tucked away in the Fillmore district. Easy Uber ride from anywhere in the city. We were greeted by one waitress and sat at the bar because of multiple parties on NYE. The menu is a write on, where you select if you want regular AYCE, premium or on the other side a la carte I guess. We were hungry and opted for premium. It was about 135 for two adults and one child price. The food! OMG SO GOOD! We opted for miso, spicy miso and a tonkatsu broth. All were perfection with some of the added garlic and sauces they give you. The wagyu and thin sliced pork were the favorites for us. So flavorful with the broth. My son got rice which I think I would do next time. I opted for ramen noodles which were thick and took more time to cook but well worth it. The guy cutting the meat was friendly as well. We didn't feel rushed and I feel like we got our money's worth for sure. I definitely would be back! ”

“ Came here to satisfy a shabu shabu craving with some friends and we had a great time!! Service was super friendly and quick which was amazing. The restaurant is clean and we loved how each person could have their own broth bowl as opposed to sharing! The quality of the meat was super delicious and overall the portions were generous and filling for the wagyu combo for 2 people. We each got our own selection of broths and our own veggie/noodle plates and shared the meat. Will definitely come back here!! ”

“ We came here to satisfy our hot pot craving. Decided on the $60 Wagyu combo for 2 people (8.5/10). 2 of the meats are more fatty and the other two are lean. We were stuffed by the end of the portions of meat are generous. We ordered: broths- spicy miso (9/10) and spicy tonkatsu (8/10) for $2 more, a side of rice, our total was around $70. We asked for tongs as well which was helpful to make our experience more pleasant, chili oil, and chili flakes. Staff was friendly, helpful, attentive, and charismatic. Highly recommend for the experience. Ambiance is very comfortable and chill. Only issue was seeing a small fly around our table ”

“ After some light appetizers up the street, we were super hungry and craving some shabu shabu on a cold winter night. This spot was down the street and didn't have a wait so we decided to give it a try. Happy Shabu Shabu is an AYCE shabu spot that starts at $39 and we upgraded to the premium wagyu meats for an additional $6.95. They have plenty of meat options, and honestly I couldn't tell the difference between most of the cuts flavor wise, but it was all really good. As for the veggies, they had a ton of options as well. Napa cabbage, bok choy, carrots, noodles, enough to make up for my lack of vegetable eating during the week. The sauces were delicious. Whatever their spicy sauce was, I needed refills of that all night. Great to dip your meats in. They even gave us fresh sliced jalapeños that added a nice level of spice to each bite. For drinks we got a pitcher of beer and a large sake. They used to be an AYCE drinking spot but they had to change that up recently. But they made all their beer and sake 50% off which means you can drink a bunch without spending a ton. Jo, who I think was one of the owners helped us out all night and she was amazing and made our night fun. She was very kind and very hospitable. Great vibes all around! Overall, from start to finish, we enjoyed every bit of our dinner and would definitely return when we are craving a meat heavy meal. ”

“ If you like hotpot or kbbq, try Happy Shabu Shabu! It's a Japanese cook-it-yourself all you can eat restaurant (they have non AYCE options too). You can order 4 items at a time from a selection of items and pay a couple dollars more for the premium selection. Food: they have lots of different meat options (beef, pork, lamb, shrimp). In my opinion the premium menu is worth it for the Wagyu option which is by far better than the other types of meat. I also suggest having it without the sauce because the flavor and the texture of the meat is best plain The ambiance is great, I've taken friends here multiple times and the decor and lighting feels welcoming and clean. The service is very fast with both robot servers and Jo who always checks in on how the food is going and remembers our faces when we go. ”
