This is more of a unique review for me compared to the rest of my reviews. That being when we were looking for Shabu Shabu, we wanted to find a spot that served halal meat options.
#1 The servers were second to none. The person that stood out the most was Emerald. Always had a great attitude, work ethic, and patient with my very newb of a friend. She was on it. Give her a raise now before it's too late!
#2 The food was great. We went with the AYCE Special #2 since that's where most of the halal meats were. The price is not unreasonable. Special #1 is more for those that are on a budget. Most restaraunts are similarly priced.
#3 complimentary ice cream! You can't say no to that. For me, that's the best part of the meal. Soaking in all that meaty flavor and then washing the excessiveness with some ice cream.
Highly recommend this place, these are my item recommendations:
Spicy Miso base (Beef stock)
Ponzu & spicy Goma sauce (Contains Mirin)
Halal Ribeye, Halal Lamb, Halal chicken,
Kobe beef, salmon sushi, squash and mushrooms. Finished off with the ice cream of the day.
Fantastic halal hotpot in Irvine. You don't even have to ask, they proudly put on their menu 'halal chicken' 'halal ribeye' 'halal lamb' And tell them beforehand you are ordering halal and they will tell you which broths are veg and which sauces are alcohol-free. We ordered the lamb and ribeye. I preferred the ribeye, it felt lighter to eat.
The staff is so kind and informative. It's a smallish spot so there may be a wait if your party is big. We went on a Saturday afternoon and were seated right away at the lower bar level. Kid friendly, my kids had no problem serving themselves from their own hotpot. We will be back!
An impeccable experience! For $25, the AYCE #2 is a great deal! The spicy beef broth was adequately spicy, the meats were of good quality, and the side orders were also cooked to order. Will be back!
