About Slice Shabu

They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Delicious and experience, definitely worth going in a group so you can try a few different cuts of meat. We tried the spicy miso and pork bone broth with a perfect mix of flavor and spicy. I personally love being able to try small portions of a lot of different things, so this was perfect. Wygu beef, aged Angus and short rib - delicious
My husband and I used to come here all the time when we lived in the area, we moved away then came to visit family this week. We came to eat at this restaurant today, ordered 3 of their large portions of meat, and part way through my meal I noticed something sharp in my mouth while chewing. It was a chunk of steel wool. Luckily I took it out of my mouth before swallowing or i would have had to go to the emergency room. We showed the server, she took it and apologized, and gave us the "employee discount" on our meal which ended up being a whole $12 off... the total bill was $176 after we tipped about $30, since I work in the service industry and understand they survive on tips, i wasn't going to stiff her just because I was angry, but 10 percent off for almost swallowing a piece of steel wool is infuriating. I may be confused about the rules of steel wool in food service, but I thought it wasn't even allowed because of contamination risk, like what happened to me today, and because it holds bacteria, and can't be properly cleaned out. Very disappointed, will not be coming back.
They are understaffed. You are definitely not getting the amount of meat you pay for. I paid for 6 oz ribeye and I could never be hungry after that, I know for a fact they gave me like 3-4 oz. They give you two pieces of broccoli, a carrot shaving, a thin slice of sweet potato, an onion, and like a quarter cup of noodles and rice. Very very small portions and overpriced. I couldn’t believe how much we paid for what we got. Ridiculous.
This place is in a mall that is lifeless. It is also hard to find due to it being in the back of a gentrified marketplace that will forsure be gone in the future. The service was not good. It was 2 servers for a small resturant which does make sense if they were competent and attentive. The food was very mid, and the only good thing was the 2 slices of high quality meat you are given for $40. Literally for sides they give 2 broccoli, one carrot slice, 1 onion slice, 2 sweet potatoes slices, and 2 sauces to choose from. I have been to way better shabu shabu for a quarter of the price and a million times better quality as well as actually being full at the end of a meal. PLEASE DON'T GO HERE, IT IS A SCAM. GO TO IRVINE INSTEAD!!!
My first time trying out this food. It was amazing! Very yummy and the server was very helpful and very attentive. We got there at 9 pm so we got some good deals for happy hour! This place it's a must!!
