Tabu Shabu Costa Mesa

We've been coming here for years (yes we miss Jose ; and have never had any meal or experience that wasn't top notch! Great food, great service and vibe. Healthy delicious eats.Food: 5/5

Solid shabu spot the meats were high quality and like that they offer a grass fed beef option! I went with the large size which is ~5.5 oz, and it was a good amount of food though I think I'd opt for double protein if I were to go when very hungry. The only thing that left me wanting were the sauces the goma and ponzu were both just okay so that was a bit of a bummer since the sauces are so key, but everything else was great. The wooden plates/bowls they use are also so cute and the servers were so friendly and sweet. They don't take reservations and there was a small wait but they were turning seats quite quickly and efficiently.

The food here is delicious. Haven't had anything here we didn't like.4 stars because service has been inconsistent. Some of their staff is really awesome, attentive, and friendly. Some are lost, charge for included items, and aren't available when you need to order something. Jeff, the owner has been beer hospitable and quick to respond to emails.

What a dope spot in Costa Mesa! Gives you Tokyo vibes. From the moment we walked in we were given a warm welcome. Hot sake, tonkotsu, and some freakn delicious Prime Level Ribeye. Thanks to the crew who helped create a great night. Definitely come back.

Good food at reasonable price. Very fast and good service, too. Definetely recommend!
