Excellent / Superb Shabu Shabu Resto @ Little Tokyo (Los Angeles). One Of The Very Best. It Serves USDA Prime Beef & Wagyu Beef Set (Miyazaki A5) 💲💲💲😋 😋 😋 & Fresh Seafood. Sooo Tasty Sooo Yummy ♨️ Great Enjoyment.
Pretty good shabu shabu place in Little Tokyo. High quality of beef. There are several set menu that you can choose from. I recommend to go for the mix beef and seafood menu. Price is on the higher side.
The beef was top quality and the service was great as well. Super cozy nice spot. Overall great restaurant. There’s a reason they’ve been open for decades
Female owned and operated, service & food are excellent. The appetizer and dessert were the main home runs for me. I got a sweet tooth and a thing for small delicious dishes like the monk fish and king crab that are one bite dishes.
As for the main entree it's as fresh as it gets, price is for a set meal so it's worth it. You'll definitely feel stuffed by the end even if it looks like not much. The scallops and shrimp are my favorite 🤤. Also, the creamy scallop on cucumber owner special was a great start to service. ☺️
My only feedback for the soft opening would be to reword the requirements for sharing a set meal.

Have known of this place for quite a while, but only recently stopped by. The experience I had here was really good! The menu itself is designed to be a set menu, with courses coming out as your table finishes. Each course came out quickly and the service in between was amazing. My tea/water was almost always topped off without me asking and just overall very attentive to our tables needs.
So you must be wondering why the 4/5 * (I'd want to do 4.5 if I could).. Unfortunately it's because I found the soup (just water?) used for the shabu had almost no flavor. This became more apparent after we cooked everything in it, and the broth essentially still just tasted like water. This affected part of the course, when they create either a rice porridge or udon soup (udon soup ended up being better). Both came out with minimal flavor and the ponzu was the saving grace of this second to last part.
Overall, I think this place is great from top to bottom (especially the apple pie) and I don't mind having a light flavored meal, but I just felt for the price point there could at least be some more to the broth. I don't know maybe I'm just uncouth with how it's supposed to be. I'd def still give this place a try if you haven't had.
Kaiseki course that food without over seasoning. Fresh seafood and good quality meats. The appetizers are amazingly delicious. A great place to have good Japanese foods.
Great value for delicious and very satisfying keiseki/shabu shabu. Super friendly staff to a person.
One of the LA's best restaurants and my absolute favorite restaurant. A few things I realized: price increased by around 40% over the past 10 years. The meat was recently changed during the pandemic. A new chef was in place of the owner chef, but I am not sure if it is a permanent change.
Great meat quality and great shabushabu experience. Loved it and would love to go back at another time. Also, loved the creme brûlée!
Vibe/ambiance: 4 out of 5
Food (quality and taste): 5/5
Service: 5/5
To start, I’ve never been a big shabu shabu fan…but this food and experience was very very good. I highly recommend it. Price is high, but if you’re going to splurge, and you want to try something yummy and different, this is a great place. We had the Kobe meats and crab legs. I could have done without the crab legs. I would recommend sticking with the meat selections.
Not the most fancy looking place inside. Not bad either. I rate restaurants on vibe (social vibe and ambiance). So this place was great food, with minimal atmosphere (but still a great choice)
One of the best sushi 🍣 I have had usually not a fan of raw sushi but this had me all in. Would definitely come back again. The food was so good I only took one picture
