Shabu Club: Experience Authentic Japanese Hot Pot in San Francisco

Best shabu shabu or hot pot in town! The beef is just so good, also the dipping sauce was amazing especially the green ones. Man if you haven't eat Shabu Club/Shabu House you haven't eat asian food. Place was packed, last order is 8:45pm and you can't make a reservation.

This is the BEST Shabu restaurant I’ve ever been to. I traveled all the way from the East Coast to go here. The meat quality = unmatched. The ponzu dipping sauce = fire. This place is basically a mouth orgasm. Go here. You won’t regret it!

Still my favorite shabu spot in the Bay Area. Good meat, great appetizers. And the ice cream at the end is the cherry on top. Happy hour from 5-6:30 every day. It's pretty much the same as it's always been. Can't be beat.

A top notch Shabu location. Standard Japanese hot pot that delivers on all fronts. The broth is rich and super flavorful. The meat is of good quality and the veggies are fresh. But none of that means squat if you don’t have the excellent dip sauce. Very good. It’s reasonably priced for all you can eat and you even get ice cream at the end. Now caution, it may be habit forming. Dos ice cream cones up

The menu was quite limited on broth and ingredient options, but the ponzu dip and the matcha ice cream were great!

Food was great but I can’t get over being seated at a table for four when we had a party of six! Table was very crowded with hot pots appetizer dishes! Finally Emily was nice enough to move us to a decent table but then we had to wait for all our food to be transferred to our new table. A big inconvenience for our surprise birthday guest. Besides that the spicy miso and regular miso broth were very delicious and fun to cook for my first experience at hot pot. Atmosphere was great and was very packed but does get quite hot inside after a while. They did have an all you can eat which is great for large groups.

Love coming here the past year. However recently noticed that their beef slices are thinner than before. Might be shrinkflation in effect and that dampened the experience a bit. Their vegetarian option is quite bare, with only a plate of 3 veggies (pumpkin slices, zucchini and fried tofu. Not sure what type of vegetarian only eats 3 types of veggies in a meal option for shabu, they could’ve given more of the normal veggie bowl as a substitute and would provide more variety. Overall, still the consistent efficient service and the ice cream at the end always is a highlight.

Good stuff. Doesn't hurt to make reservations for this place on popular dinner nights like Friday and Saturday, sometimes even sundays
