Shabu Club

Meat quality is superb. Their cilantro garlic ponzu dipping sauce is very unique and delicious. This is on my list of restaurant tours when coming to San Francisco every couple of years for my food tour. They have shortened the meat menu from a few years ago but still really good beef and pork. I would visit way more often had the city not fallen into disrepair under years of mismanagement.

Perfect place for a chilly, rainy San Francisco night. Shabu Club easily vaulted into my top three hot pot havens in the city after tonight. - Quality meat slices so tender - Appetizers were - I mixed green tea and Leche for the ice cream flavors, and it was a match made in dessert heaven. Nima, our server, embodied patience and grace. He deserves a medal. Nima, if you're reading this, you're a superstar! The Shabu Club isn't just about filling your stomach; it's an experience. Their Happy Hour is the golden hour, from 5 to 6:30 PM every day, where you get to bask in what I'd call simplified sophistication. There's a warmth there, a glow of hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. The vegetarian Gyoza? A hit. The calamari with aïoli? Chef's kiss. And a heads up, you can likely pass on the all-you-can-eat option – the regular and large portions are more than enough to go around. But what made the night truly memorable wasn't just the food or the service; it was the conversations. From discussing how our therapists would describe us (thanks, Marianne) to the art of noodle and meat soaking, we went deep. The words to describe the night? Sensational, chaotic, serendipitous, soaked, and special. And I couldn't agree more. So, if you're in San Francisco and looking for a place that hits all the right notes – amazing food, incredible ice cream, and heartwarming hospitality – make your way to Shabu Club.

Shabu club is my favorite shabu hot pot place. When you know, you know it’s the best when it’s packed at 5pm for dinner. The menu is simplified. You know they paid attention to what the people wanted and stuck to it. Most hot pot places make it so complicated with ordering and offering a million items, making the order process a prolonged dreadful experience. I love their tonkonsu broth, their signature garlic cilantro sauce, the chicken wings and the Kobe fries! They also offer happy hour..visit this place for dinner. You won’t regret it! Parking: Go early..make reservations if you can

Vegetarian options: Fresh vegetables

Still my favorite shabu spot in the Bay Area. Good meat, great appetizers. And the ice cream at the end is the cherry on top. Happy hour from 5-6:30 every day. It's pretty much the same as it's always been. Can't be beat.

Always great food and service at the shabu club.

We live in Richmond, the city not the district in SF. But we drive over to this place every weekend religiously because this place has hands down the best Shabu Shabu. Even beats our other favorites - one in Pleasanton and the other in Concord. The best.
