This is one of our favorite restaurants. We go there at least once or twice a month. The hosts and servers are very friendly. We always get both the hotpot and grill. There are plenty of protein options to choose from. However; there are not too many vegetables choices. The veggies come to you on a small conveyor in bowls that go around the tables. Sometimes, the veggies you want are gone before the veggie bowls get to you. So it may take a while to get what you want. The place is usually packed, so going early is best. The restaurant is fairly clean. There are vents above every grill so smoke from the grills is not an issue. We definitely will go back.

Despite walking around in 90 degree weather, we were still craving hot pot and Shabu Shabu did not disappoint! I got the tomato broth and it was delicious! On the far left wall, there are meats, seafood options, sushi, kimchi, edamame and fruits to choose from. If you'd like vegetables and noodles, you can grab them from the conveyor belt. I loved the convenience of getting what I needed from the conveyor belt instead of having to ask our server. Our server Matt V was excellent! He made sure we knew how everything worked, our drinks were always filled and he checked up on us often. Would absolutely go back the next time I'm in Nashville!

Wow! This concept is so cool for eating food!! Ok, so if you don't know basically at this restaurant you have a grill at your table and each person has like a pot built in to the table to cook your food. You first will choose what type of "soup" or liquid will be the base of your pot and then you can go get food which is uncooked or just needs to be heated to either grill or cook in your soup. I would DEFINITELY suggest wearing a shirt or even apron that you don't care about as you very likely will get something on you and it can be avoided. Service was excellent and our waiter helped us understand the concept of the restaurant and work through any questions we had, So definitely ask questions!

Amazing!!!! What a thrill!!! First come, first serve. Gave our phone number and had about a 20 minute wait. We walked over to look at the meat selection and both of us agree....it's overwhelming...in the most best way. So many selections of fresh, thinly sliced meat and seafood. And pork and chicken pot stickers. And sushi. I loved creating my own dipping sauce. It gets hot, so wear your hair up. They automatically bring you water, which I love! Scan the QR code to see the descriptions of all the broths. The server was super friendly and explained everything to make it easy for us to learn quickly. Cook the meat on the grill. Vegetables and noodles and tofu come by on a conveyor belt. Cook everything on the grill or in the broth. It was all fun, all delicious, all very reasonably priced considering the selection and the uniqueness of the cooking style.

A really fun concept with the conveyor belt. Limited options with the carb choices, it's either ramen, rice noodle, or rice cake only, and the only vegetables that I saw that were green were lettuce, cabbage, broccoli and bok choy. This place gets BUSY. I was dining for one only, so I was seated immediately at the bar. Two of the sakes that I requested were sold out. They also have sushi, fruit, some side dishes like kimchi and seaweed, and dessert. I sure left feeling full.

How can you not like this place. All you can eat kbbq and hot pot! What else is there to say. I've been here several times. Been here with friends, coworkers, and on dates. Shabu Shabu is always a great time with great service. Sometimes they do have a wait for you to be seated, but that should be expected when the demand is so high. There is a variety of food that you will never leave hungry. When getting the hot pot some of the broths can be underwhelming but once you find your perfect match you'll be leaving no broth behind. The tonkotsu is that for me. Don't forgot to get some boba on your way out, it will not let you down :)

As a vegetarian I love this place. There's a meatless broth option which you can get and all of the meat is on one side of the store. They have a cool conveyor belt concept and everything on the belt if vegetarian (noodles, vegetables and more). It's easy to find a ton of options here no matter what your dietary restrictions are. The vibes are also really good. Hotpot is a very social experience so it's great for friends. Would come back here for sure.

This place is my new go-to for taking friends or family out to eat when in Nashville. The atmosphere is great so you can catch up with people while talking and eating at the same time. Some people may have a problem with cooking your own meals, but the variety of items and the price made this well worth coming to. They do not take reservations unless you are a party of 6 or more, so just know you may be waiting 20 minutes or 2 hours to eat depending on arrival times. The food is well labeled so you know what is what on the "buffet". You've got a section dedicated to meat for the grill, a section for your soup ingredients like meatballs and seafood, as well as a section for the more unique items like squid, octopus, etc. There is also a section with sushi, which I cannot comment on because I don't eat Sushi, but it did look good. The sauce bar has a great variety, but even with labels you may not know what is what. It would be optimal to have a nice pairing suggestions of what to mix with what meats/seafoods because I honestly didn't know what some of the sauces were. The service was really great. Our server explained everything and the proper protocol for plates, grills, etc. He explained the tastes of broths and how to do the entire meal. He came back to refill beverages and take empty plates because you do go through a lot of plates and bowls if you are enjoying yourself. It is kind of pricey at $31 a person for the grill & hot pot and if one person does the grill, everyone must do the grill. That said, it's totally worth it between the meat and seafood alone. We will be frequenting this place fairly often when downtown!
