I ordered suki yaki set with pork. It came with the right portion for 1 person. After you finish you can choose the ice cream as well. As I remembered is Green tea, red beans. The service is amazing. Staffs are really nice and take care me very well along the dining.

I came here with family for my mom's birthday and we all enjoyed ourselves. The food here was mouthwatering. The meat were cut so thinly, it had light and airy texture. The seafood were fresh. My favorite was the Wagyu Rib Eye Beef, i highly recommend it.

This is my absolute favorite shabu shabu( Japanese hot pot) place in NYC. We got Wagyu, Prime Rib, Snow crab for hot pot. All of them were amazing. Their Wagyu just melts in your mouth and nothing can make you any happier than that. They are very popular so I highly recommend to get reservation ahead of time. They have inside and outside seating. Drink menu is also not too bad.

A cloudy day with rain was perfect for a sukiyaki dinner. Seating both indoors and outdoors, we were able to find a table for two without a reservation around 6 PM, although for later it’s highly recommended to reserve. The waiters were very observant and we never had to wait long. The sukiyaki broth was very deep and flavorful and the ingredients were fresh. We had the wagyu and ribeye which were amazing, and absolutely worth the price. The tea was very good as well and perfect for the chilly day. Absolutely would come here again.

We came here for Sukiyaki, a little bit too salty but it’s good overall. Great and very friendly service, it definitely made us feel like home! Will come back soon but hope it can be less salty next time tho

the food and service were excellent, the atmosphere had its downsides. Given that they serve hotpot and sukiyaki, I expected some lingering food smells, but as time went on, it became noticeably heavy. It almost felt like the ventilation system wasn’t quite strong enough to clear the air, making the space feel a bit sticky. That being said, the food was great, and the service was even better! The staff was attentive and even helped cook the meal, which gave us more time to relax and chat.

They have a double door situation to help insulate but because the two doors are close together, it does not help; people usually open both doors and if it's cold out, all that cold air rushes in. So if you're seated near the entrance, the chances are you'll be quite cold until you have a hotpot or grill going in front of you. The whole place just seems cramped. It seems like they went through a renovation but IMO they would've benefited from less number of tables. Their beef tongue was very tough when grilled, even when following the server's instruction to grill 10-15 seconds per side. Would not recommend. Their wagyu beef shabu was excellent. Quite pricy, however, and at 2 orders minimum, it amounts to $160! But, they do give you enough to get 2 people quite full, so maybe worth if you're really into shabu.

Authentic Japanese Shabu shabu. We didn’t make a reservation, ended up having a seat with another group. But it’s fine. We ordered prime beef and come with some veggies. They taste fresh and delicious. The matcha ice cream is light and creamy!

We visited Shabu-Tatsu East Village as a group of four for their Sukiyaki and the experience was decent. The decor was authentic but narrowed-spaced and not ventilated. This was our only complaint since it was really smoky even though the smell was good in the restaurant. Food was overall delicious with reasonable price and portion. Our favorite was their beef, the quality was great and super tender. The complimentary dessert ice cream was also good, especially the matcha flavor, which is creamy and not too sweet.

Experience was good overall. Seemed like the place tried to be authentic Japanese, but had some Asian fusion. Meat was really good, better than most American places. However many Korean BBQ and other Japanese places have better. That being noted, I think the price point of this place is actually very good. For the price you pay, I think the quality is adequate. As most noted, service does seem to have issues - could be improved, but we were overall happy with it. Overall, good experience and we will repeat. Also, best to make reservations if you can.

Food is ok but they forgot about the candles for our birthday dessert even though I asked one of the servers. They also forgot about one of the side dishes we ordered. This used to be our go-to when we first moved to NYC 20 years ago. It's gone done quite a bit service wise. Sad.

Food is mediocre. Service is so bad. The waiter had his fingers in the rice when he handed over the bowl. It’s also extremely overpriced. The wagyu doesn’t taste good. Would never go back
