Mokkoji Shabu Shabu - Garden Grove

I love the meats and side dishes of this place but not the soup base.The soup base was too bland for me, but I will return someday because of their high quality meat.

One of my fav shabu place in garden grove. My boyfr and I came in for lunch in Labor Day. They have a deal for 2 people. Shareable meat plate, included 2 drinks, appetizer, dessert. Everyone came out really fast. It was more than enough for 2 people. I love coming here, trying to make it a monthly thing for my boyf and I.

My go to spot as of lately. Good soup, good cuts of meat, and they have veggie refills. They had me at the veggie refill. Standard 2 sauces for dipping. They have this garnish bowl (green onion, chili paste, and garlic) and the garlic is smashed and creamy looking, it's really good ; mixes well with soup and sauce. Price is fair . Would return

The sukiyaki broth is soooo yummy. Everyone at the table ordered a small portion of meat and it's good for one person. The veggies and noodles were also great. I think they allow substitutions (i.e. double noodles instead of veggies). I was very full afterwards. I only wish they had more options for sauce to dip the meat in. I think the soups only come with two sauces per person. I didn't ask about other sauces, but I didn't see a sauce bar either. Otherwise, this place is great and the hot pot is comforting.

Mokkōji is my favorite Shabu place! They offer a wide variety of broth options, but I always go for the miso or spicy miso. You could totally enjoy the broth by itself because it's fantastic! Whenever I eat at Mokkōji, I always order their toro bat, which is amazing! It comes with garlic and their special marinated sauce. I’m not sure what’s in it, but trust me, you won't be disappointed! I tend to order a generous portion when I visit. Each order includes a bowl of rice, a selection of vegetables, and two types of sauce. The vegetable bowl features Napa cabbage, bok choy, carrots, broccoli, enoki mushrooms, and tofu stamped with their logo (so cute!). There are a few more vegetables included, but those are the ones I enjoy. They have two types of sauce, but my favorite is the goma, which is sesame sauce, and theirs is the best I've had so far. I usually ask for two servings of goma because I love it so much! I highly recommend visiting Mokkōji for a non-AYCE shabu experience; you will not be disappointed!
