Good quality meat but I didn't like their pre-prepared sauces. It sucks that they don't have many large tables, if they have any.

One of the best value for dollar all you can eat restaurants I've ever been too and this place screams "High Quality, Freshness". The price person is around $35 but you have access to the entire menu from all sorts of vegetables such as taro root, shiitake mushrooms, all the greens you can think of, baby corn. Then the sauce bar, garlic, soy, heat, spice, make your own. The seafood is incredible, fresh oysters, shrimp, fish fillets, baby scallops, full baby octopus, etc.. yeah some of it is frozen and thawed out but when you add it to your own custom hotpot you get when you sit, it's amazing. Choose from 5 different types of soups, our server allows me to try all 5 from Tom kha, miso, but my favorite was the shoyu broth. The star is the show is the unlimited beef, when you look at the menu, all of it is available to try. Fresh waygu, lamb, pork belly. On the table, you will see korean dishes such as korean kalbi, bulgogi, etc.. I say try those as you go to blend the salty overall meal with a sugar sweet meat. Then add some crisp vegetables to freshen your taste buds when you go for round 6, 7, 20! Must try

Shabu Zone is my favorite AYCE hot pot in Houston! They have fast friendly service & their buffet is always stocked and clean! I normally go for their tonkotsu or basic soup base. As for meat their number 11 & 5 is literally all I eat (just preference, but all other meat is good too!) I really enjoy their seafood options as well, such as their oysters, shrimp, clams, & fish. They recently added cooked bulgogi that you can order (included in ayce) and it's a new fav! Plus they have a dessert bar and ice cream! I also appreciate the variety of flavored ice cream, the green tea and red bean is a must try!

One of my favorite hotpot places in Houston! They have a wide variety of broths, meats, and other all you can eat options like blue crab, squid, fish, tofu, noodles, other seafood and much more. They also have Chinese donuts and bonchon (fish tofu), and kimchi. They also have ice cream and Vietnamese Che. The service was amazing, refilled our meats, broths, and waters quickly. I'd come back!

It's AYCE hotpot and the service is so fast! Wide variety of meat/veggie toppings! All variety of dumplings and hotpot balls. Great side dishes but the sauce station is limited. Highly recommend if you're craving hotpot!

I've tried the tonkotsu broth and spicy broth, and while the tonkotsu was fine, I would not reorder the spicy broth because it was lacking in flavor. During lunch, you can order from #5-11 on the meat menu, which is a pretty good deal! The meat itself was good, although the lamb is tougher than at other hot pot places like Happy Lamb or Liuyishou. I would order the beef here instead.

Best place in Houston to full fill your cravings of hot soup! Love coming to Shabu zone for the all you can eat lunch and dinner menu. They have abundant choices of meats, broths, vegetables, seafood and sauces, this place is perfect. Servers are very attentive ensuring that you have meats in your table as much as needed and refill your pot with broth as requested. My favorite broth is #4, Tonkotsu and meat choices are #1-#4, #5 & #6 and #11. Every time I dine here, always leave full, nice and warm inside. This place never disappoints and keeps getting better and better every time I go.

Nut allergy friendly. They say to mention it to your waiter but I haven't had to. Most of the nuts are on the sauce bar in the corner - the main one on the island is pretty nut free. The sauce I make is very simple - spicy ponzu, chili powder, green chili, sweet garlic, and some green onion. If you like hot pot but hate sharing a pot between six people, shabu-shabu is a must try. It's hot pot, but everyone gets their own pot and hence their own choice of broth. Shabu Zone's broths are a little bland. I got the Spicy #2 and it was not spicy at all. This is easily remedied by following their suggestion of cooking your seafood first, which does add richness to the broth. A common complaint of hot pot is that all of the meats blend together. This is only true if you overcook your meat. Thin slices of beef take seconds to cook. If you leave it in the broth, then yes, you're getting overcooked, bland, stringy meat. #1 and #4 meats were very flavorful. I will say, two of the waiters had no idea which meat was which either, but they were able to bring us more on sight alone which I thought was hilarious. The seafood bar is not the freshest but it is adequate. Plenty of hot pot style vegetables, like four types of mushrooms. The service is lightning fast. Meat comes out in less than five minutes, and waiters are clearing plates every few minutes too. Impressive considering the restaurant was totally full with a 15 minute wait when I went on a Friday at 7PM. Overall, a great time to enjoy hot pot at the reasonable price of about $40/pp after tax and tip. They give a free bottle of champagne for your birthday, too!

Let this be a testament that the food was amazing, because i don't have a single picture! I was with amazing people so we all got distracted and forgot to take pictures of the place, the food, almost everything! This place was recommended by someone at a different restaurant and let me tell you we were so pleased with everything. And I do mean everything! The place is clean, inviting, the tables were great, the staff omg the staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful! Everyone walking by was quick to help clean up, to ask if we needed anything else, very much on top of the refills. We were there to celebrate a birthday and they even played a happy birthday song, provided plates for cake and gave a complimentary bottle of champagne to toast!!! I ordered the #6 broth with ribeye and prime rib meats, now ordinarily I have to doctor up my broth with all of the sauces, but honestly I only added a bit of soy sauce and only because I tend to like my broth a little salty so my carrots and broccoli can absorb the flavor. They had everything I like from the shrimp, muscles, scallops, corn, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots and they even had jalapeño slices which I hadn't seen before! I also prefer a thin noodle over the thick ones and they has seaweed noodles! I didn't even bother taking a picture after the meal because for the first time ever I actually finished my broth! Again I didn't have to do a thing to it! Lovely flavor profile had just enough of everything! This will definitely be added to our usual spots, now like most hotspots it is a bit pricey but definitely well worth it! You can always try it during the week as they do have lunch specials! Oh the rice wine Sparkling Korean Rice wine in the grapefruit flavor was also surprisingly tasty! In conclusion, sorry I can't provide you with pictures of all of the food options! I'm usually better about this, but seriously give them a try you will not be disappointed! We also got seated very quickly! Keep in mind they do have a 2 hour table policy so try and get your party together before anyone is seated and they do have a fee for any food ordered in excess, which I mean I'm not mad about, keeps them from wasting a lot of food and honestly as a whole we need to work on not being so wasteful!
