Shabu 88 - Rowland Heights

I would say more like a 4.5 but it quite a 5 First of all, there was no wait and the food was great. All the meat tasted like good quality. Veggies fresh. Broth good. Service was great. They actually give you a lot of meat in your first round. There was nothing necessarily wrong with this place, but I just feel like at the price that it was, I have had much better at a similar price point for AYCE. I would say yes, if you're in the area and craving shabu, then definitely go. But If you're not, I don't think you have to go out of your way to go out there.

One of the best shabu-shabu spot I've been to. Will be back again The outside of this place isn't that appealing but don't let that deter you because the inside is well maintained and clean.

Love this place. We got here on a Thursday night and it's not busy, giving out very chill vibes with great playlist and excellent service. On top of it all, meat quality was superb get the shoulder top blade if you like fatty meat, and the boneless brisket for the lean type. We had the sukiyaki and original broth and I combined them both, soooo good! Will definitely come back!

Came here on a Tuesday night, not busy at all. Good quality meat and broth. Portions were good. Service was great. Would definitely come back.

Was debating between two other AYCE shabu places in the area but ended up here! Shabu 88 is a solid AYCE shabu spot within the area and I'd say it's just as good as the more expensive ones. There is a self-serve veggie and sauce bar and they also provide gloves to keep everything a bit more hygienic. Lots of options to choose from and they definitely offer a good variety, which is really important! The meat quality was good and the broth itself was also pretty standard. Overall would recommend this to anyone in the area!
