California Shabu Shabu - Costa Mesa

Cal Shabu is the best Shabu Shabu. High quality meat, large broth and vegetables options, great service and fun environment. They are always so happy to see us and they treat us like family every time we are there.

Felt like home eating here, service was amazing! The owner helped us since we were first time comers, and walked us through all the sauces, and process, and provided recommendations on how to best enjoy our meal. Food was delicious as well. Didn’t expect to walk out of here full, but man I got a major food coma after eating (rice is AYCE btw). Ordering requires each person to order their own meat plate, since everyone gets there own pot and veggies/noodles. We tried both the choice and prime beef; both options were high quality and well worth it, I’d recommend it! PS the owner is one bangah from Hawaii

This place defines Shabu for me. Why? 1. Ponzu the most balanced I 've tasted 2. Beef Always high quality, Prime Kobe ish always available! 3. Fresh Vegetables Many choices 4. Great Service 5. Fun Friendly Staff 6. They store my personal favorite hot sauces 7. Consistently Great Quality 8. Clean Happy Fun Atmosphere! I have been to Shabu all over and nowhere has equaled California Shabu Shabu 's seemingly simple combination of features. From super expensive Kobe Chateaubriand in Tokyo, to the Presidents place by the embassy, to all you can eat in Kanazawa, to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Singapore, Bruges, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, NYC, and yes even in Fiji I have had good and even great Shabu, but I am never more fully satisfied than here at CA Shabu Shabu!

My first time trying Shabu shabu and I’m so glad I came here! I was super impressed by how much time and attention they gave us as they showed us the process. (And made sure we were happy throughout our dining) It was a fun new experience and tasted amazing!!!

I love the vibe of this restaurant! The owner and staff are all awesome! The food is delicious and the drinks are heavy pours. Highly recommend ??
