Best Shabu-shabu Restaurant Oakland Near Me

4worldlovers:
If this place was near where I lived, I'd go here at least once every week. This place was able to satisfy the shabu-cravings I've had since I moved to SF. It's a shame that I didn't take more photos (because I was busy eating). The food was great and the price was reasonable. There are about 8-10 tables inside, but it wasn't super busy or packed on a Friday night. You could reserve your seats in advance, which I always appreciate.

Wow! My favorite shabu house hand's down. And it's not just because they have cat-themed decorations everywhere (including framed photos of cats along the wall and cats all along the menu). The place is so quirky and cool. There's not a lot of space, so I heard there's usually a wait. But we went on a Wednesday at 5:30, and it was pretty easy to get a table. It's all-you-can-eat, and if you like alcohol, you might as well go with the premium. You can have two broths so we got the umami sea kelp and the spicy garlic miso. The umami sea kelp was a bit bland - the spicy garlic miso was perfect. The orders were fulfilled quickly, and I loved how easy they make it. I would definitely come back and will recommend to all my friends when they ask for the best hot pot place in the city.
