Dpot - Shabu-shabu restaurant in Irvine - 4636 Barranca Pkwy Suite 4636, USA

I would definitely recommend this spot if you're craving all you can eat hot pot. Solid selection of meat and additional food items. Only negative I had was service is a bit slow. Besides that I would come back again. I think I prefer All That Shabu but having another option is nice if we're catching a movie nearby.

First of all their services was so amazing! All the workers was really nice, friendly and very attentive. The food quality is really good and very good price, i like to try all hot places, and i found this places just randomly on the yelp. The meat came in really thin, but its all you can eat. So i think its really perfect portion, thin slices for the hot pot. So you dont get full right away. There also a stacker full of meat, its the same meat and they steamed it with vegies. Its something that i never seen any other hot pot places. Its kinda uniqe style. It taste pretty amazing paired with the sauces of your choices. The sauces and all the side dishes display at the buffet bar style, you can get as much as you want. And however you want it. So many options, this place easily get 5 stars review. However i took one off because the fish, i tried the pullock fish, it doesnt look too fresh, and after i ate it, it has the bad smell on it and like smushy. But thats doesnt ruin my appetite. I still love the whole vibes and my dinner there. Also they dont have anything for the dessert lol. I spot a container of the dipping dots, and was little excited thinking at the end they will serve you an ice cream but nothing. Lol This location is in very nice place, after dinner you can just walk around the area, such a nice view. Has a plenty seat outside, just to chill.

This restaurant was pretty busy when we went here to eat dinner. We put our name on the list and waited almost an hour since we had a large party. While we wait, there is a park for kids to play and other stores opened. When we finally got sat, ordering is pretty straightforward, choosing the soup, then adding the meats. The vegetables, seafoods and sauces are at a little buffet. We got to try some Korean beers and some Sparkling Sake.

It's a great chilled vibe!! The meats taste delicious. The staff is very attentive. The food is amazing

My favorite hotpot restaurant right now. They recently switched to “all you can eat”, yet the quality is still very good. Fantastic marbling on all their meats. I love their half-half stacker as well which is a unique and great complement to the hotpot meal.

Then noodles were fresh made specially the ramen. The causes and condiments were great. This place had fresher ingredients that any other shabu place I've been to.

If you are smart, listen to me and skip this place. I do try every ayce shabu place and this was next and it was a huge disappointment. With competition so strong in Irvine, this one really sucked in every category. First of all, we waited 1 hour for our table, as soon as we sat down, waited another 15 mins for somebody to come get the order. As other reviews say, they come by not so often and you would need to literally go to them to get any service. With that being said, the service from everyone there were super friendly, they are just overwhelmed and inefficient,? Now to the food, same as what other reviews say... everything was very fatty! That's the best way to describe it. At the end of meal, you are fatty out.. Yuck.. but the meat was good quality and tender... just the overall meal... Feels like you eaten fat all night. Not worth the $34/person plus 18% gratuity for sub par service. On to the next.

Reasonably priced AYCE hot pot. My husband and I tried this out after seeing an advertisement on Instagram and we were not disappointed. The self serve sauce station has a lot of options and tasty sauces and toppings you can customize to your liking. The vegetable and seafood bar comes with the package and we were very surprised at the options provided as part of the all you can eat price. This includes unexpected things like fresh crab, shrimp, and mandu. We went for lunch so the price was especially nice. We paid just over $50 for the 2 of us, which for AYCE these days is incredibly generous. The ingredients we got were all fresh and tasted great, the only downer was the steamer stacker box. If you don't eat it quickly the meat gets cold fast, and with so much going on at our table, my husband and I were a bit slow to get to all of it. Also, the steamer meat isn't seasoned so you'll want to make sure to have some dipping sauce for it. We'll definitely be back to try the dinner menu!
