Shabuya - Honolulu

This restaurant is incredibly popular! I visited twice: once in the morning at 10:30 AM before it officially opened at 11 AM, and I was surprised to find a long line of eager customers at the entrance. My second visit was on a Sunday evening at 7:30 PM, and there was a large crowd waiting outside. The restaurant was completely full, and we ended up waiting until it closed at 10 PM.

This restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat shabu shabu experience for $30 within a 90-minute timeframe. They have a wide variety of vegetables, seafood, and meats to choose from, ensuring there's something for everyone. You can select from different broth options, including original, miso, spicy miso, and tonkotsu. Additionally, you can add your choice of karaage (with three different types available) along with your preferred meat. Be mindful that the restaurant will charge for any food left uneaten, so be sure to order only what you can finish. It's an excellent spot to enjoy shabu shabu, socialize with friends, and indulge in delicious dishes. This dining experience is definitely worth it! Just a heads-up: the restaurant gets extremely busy, so it's advisable to make a reservation in advance!

Overall, everything was good except for the service. I can’t fault the server too much, as it was incredibly busy. However, my soda was forgotten, and there were no spoons available. I had to wait about 20 minutes and remind the server again. The cost was $30 per person, and we arrived around 1:30 PM.

Such a great experience! My first time in a hot pot restaurant. We are so much!! Love being able to choose what to put in our broths and the cocktail my husband got was so refreshing. We just had to wait a little long for spoons because they were washingthem, but other than that we had a great time!

Getting there well before they open is a MUST. Even half an hour before, there?s already a line. They have a tablet that you reserve a table on which is nice. You can reserve and walk around the mall for a bit. The selection was amazing. Meats,veggies, sauce...???????????? The lunch special is very affordable considering the variety that they offer. They were quick torefill soup anytime they deemed it was low. I enjoyed myself immensely!! 4 stars because I had to ask my waiter twice to refillmy water before he remembered.
