Mokkoji Shabu Shabu

What we expected and more also noticed the restaurant rating had a B

After reading the review from this restaurant I want to try out this place. It’s my first time coming here. Btw we got there around 7pm and 20 minutes later two people came in suddenly got their seats before us. Beside that I never got an explanation from my server if he ask me it’s my first here or would you like to explain how we order your food. I order a spicy broth with beef belly. The spicy broth nothing special just water with spicy powder. I thought I would have more flavor in the broth and vegetables was okay. As soon as I got my broth and meat. I dip my meat and bowl of broth was cooking like other patrons. I had to as the server if I need to turn on something the bowl. Luckily a patron explain there is a setting on the table to cook your bowl. I would rate this place 4/10. I won’t come back to this restaurant. I would rather try a traditional hot pot restaurant. Also they forgot my noodle before I finish my meal.

This place is very overpriced for shabu shabu.

I got the original broth and it was basically water with a hint of onion. I've been here twice. Once a few weeks after it's opening and about a week ago. The food is over priced and the broth is 2/5. Meats are 3/5. I ended up having to order a flavor to be added to my original broth to get some flavor cause the meats weren't adding any. I really enjoy shabu shabu, but this is hands down the worst shabu shabu place I've ever been too. Both times, service wasn't the best, and food is overpriced and flavorless. Save your money and drive out to better places in OC, they're cheaper and better quality of items, and also more quantity of items. Btw it was $5 to add the flavor of spicy pork broth to my original broth. That's a rip off. The server explained that the OG broth is the base for all the broth (which makes sense, and is common). But to upcharge that much extra for a small flavor add on, it's better to go elsewhere.

Yummy foods and a great experience. Took my grand babies here for the first time and everyone loved ❤️ it. Will be coming back

Go here at least twice a month. Absolutely love it
