Ishabu Shabu Carson Reviews
Their wagyu beef was very good, the dining environment was clean and reasonably priced, my girlfriend and I really enjoyed it and will be back!
This restaurant totally nail with Japanese style. Japanese are famous on their detail and attentive, I can feel it fr their service, food, and environment. Would love to visit again if I come to LA.
This is my first time to eat shabu shabu and since many of resto are closed and this is the only close place that is open so we check it out. We celebrated my sister in law’s birthday here and we were not disappointed, good food and service. The server explained to us the menu and even how to make sauce. Friendly staff and clean facility. I would definitely come back to this place.
One of the best (remaining) shabu places in South Bay. We love coming here for the intimate atmosphere, great service, fresh veggies and meats. Overall this is a good place to do shabu-style meal. A little pricey, then again shabu is almost always pricey. The more bargain shabu-style joints around here went under during Covid. Warning, as there can be a long wait to get seated here during busy times.
Had an amazing dining experience at ishabu shabu. Ordered premium Japanese A5 wagyu beef and a number of premium cuts. I’d go back in a heartbeat when in the area.
I love the Shubu shabu restaurant! I highly recommend the Japanese A5 Wagyu beef and the US Kobe signature cut.
Absolutely the best Shabushabu experience. The servers were amazing especially John. The quality of the meat is just the best all the way. They cut it in front of you. I really love the ambiance here and all the experiences. I will definitely come back here again with my family!
It was a great first time experience! I was well informed of the food and broth. The meats were delicious, I loved the cuts. Highly recommend Tonoktsu broth Spicy. I came on a Sunday evening and the ambiance was just right
Came here on a Thursday and got seated quickly within an hour before closing. There was construction so it was a bit hard to find. Favorite broth was the tonkotsu. Was surprised it was vegetarian but creamy. The meats were also good with generous portions. Really friendly service.

What a great dining experience! The staff was friendly and efficient, making sure we had everything we needed. The quality of the meat was exceptional, and the portions were huge. And parking was easy too! Very satisfied!
For this type of space, I felt like that was appropriate. The vibe is clean and relaxing. Loved the warm service too. Overall, this is a good spot to catch up with friends over some food and drinks.
Located conveniently by the roadside, it’s easy to spot and there’s no hassle with parking. Once I got the staff’s attention, they were very welcoming and gave me space after serving the food, which I appreciated.
Food was delicious. The tonkotsu broth was just right - get it spicy (it's worth it!). Service was also great, our server explained our options and gave us good suggestuons. Overall great experience, definitely recommend.
The place easy to find with good parking in the back and everything we ordered was full of flavor — so delicious! The individual pot setup is super convenient. Everything tasted great, especially the meat.
John and Lisa made my birthday dinner so special. Aside from the amazing food, they truly made us feel at home. So welcoming and fun. Truly great vibe.

Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed iShabuShabu before! My favorite shabu place and one of our favorite restaurants in the south bay overall. Their goma is TO DIE FOR.
Food was delicious. The tonkotsu broth was just right - get it spicy (it's worth it!). Service was also great, our server explained our options and gave us good suggestuons. Overall great experience, definitely recommend.
Lovely place, great service but I was not impress with the food, the meat portions were not the best quality. I felt it was a bit overpriced.
I'd say you're paying more for the experience than the food. Parking is limited, it's border line over priced . The meat didn't seem to be of the greatest quality, but the service was great.. but I do have to say I'm a bit biased because I'm more of ramen or pho guy.
Some of the worst service I’ve ever received anywhere in the world.. The gyoza was frozen fried mid level. They told us the 97$ combo wasn’t enough and they had a “minimum”. We were then forced to spend 15$ on sides. 5 minutes later the server came and told us that her boss told her to tell us that we had to buy an additional item , “one that would be cooked in the broth”. Even though we had already ordered noodles and vegetables.. We then got the bill and realized that on top of the 97$ combo they already charge you for the soup base so why would there ever be any sort of “minimum” in the first place. The portions were small and it was overpriced. I was surprised when we walked in and it was completely 100% empty but now I understand and I definitely won’t be returning. Respectfully.

Maybe because there are not many people, the service is OK, but the food is expensive and the meat is poor. It is not worth the price 👎! It is not as good as MoMo! The parking lot is small and crowded!
