“ Came here for dinner with my family. Called in and they said the wait was going to be about 45 min-1 hr, but when we got there we ended up only waiting probably less than 15 minutes. It was the perfect place to go to since we were on the fence about getting hot pot or kbbq. Service was great. The workers were very accommodating for our party which I appreciated. I like that they have the individual pots/grills for you and I also like the sauce bar that they have. Beef belly was really good. They don't have too much of the typical banchan that kbbq usually has, but they do have fish cakes and japchae. ”
“ What makes Shabumi stand out from other hot pot spots is that they offer AYCE KBBQ AND AYCE hot pot. My husband opted for hot pot, I got KBBQ. The options are endless here. Large variety of protein and vegetable options. The servers were very attentive and made sure we had a great experience. The restaurant is very clean and spacious. I love the sauce bar. Favorite go to proteins are beef belly and brisket. I love how the portions aren't huge. Helps with food waste and give customers the chance to try other options. ”
“ Shabumi is an absolute gem for anyone who loves a great mix of hotpot and Korean BBQ! The concept of being able to mix and match between the two for each person in the party is genius. Some of us went for the hotpot, while others went all in for the BBQ - it was the best of both worlds. You can share any of items with your party. I typically prefer my vegetables cooked in a broth and my meats grilled so it was perfect ! The food variety is solid, with plenty of fresh options for both hotpot and BBQ. The meats were tender, and the hotpot broth had rich flavors. Service was great too - fast, friendly, and they made sure we always had what we needed. The restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking, which is a huge bonus. No need to stress about finding a spot! ”
“ Shabumi is a fantastic spot if you're looking for a blend of Korean BBQ and hotpot dining. The restaurant delivers a premium experience, particularly with its high-quality ribeye that melts in your mouth--definitely a must-try. The extensive sauce collection allows you to customize flavors to your liking, adding a personal touch to every bite. The buffet aisle is well-stocked with all the classic vegetables and hotpot essentials, ensuring there's something for everyone. Beyond the BBQ and hotpot, the Korean fried chicken and scallion pancakes are delightful additions, offering a nice change of pace from the main dishes. A pro tip: go with a friend, and have one person choose BBQ and the other hotpot so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. This way, you can seamlessly switch between the two and maximize your experience. Considering the quality and variety, Shabumi is well worth the price. I'll definitely be coming back! ”
“ I've seen more and more shabu & kbbq places open up, but what makes Shabumi different is that every person has their own personal burner in front of their seat! If you're eating with someone else, one person can order kbbq and the other can order shabu aka y'all get the best of the both worlds! Also, each person can order up to 3 different types of meat at a time. Selection of meat was great, sides are like a buffet style including the sauces, and only a few items you would ask the waiter for (e.g., rice, steamed egg, soup). Highly recommend this place! ”
