Food: Portion size may disappoint

AB Shabu takes simplicity to new levels, but don't let this fool you. Their Ribeye is a crowd pleaser, marbled and thick, sending taste buds into a frenzy. The Shabu Shabu with high-quality meat and amazing sauces provides a top-notch experience. Even the complimentary Coffee Jelly leaves a pleasant taste. The daily freshness of their ingredients is exceptional, creating an unforgettable dining experience.

  • Great Quality

Vibe: Solid ambiance, iffy date spot

With its clean, modern decor and cozy, spacious layout, the ambiance positively influences their patrons. But don't break out your candlelight dinner fantasies yet. Those seeking a date night might have to deal with some unpleasant conversations nearby that can dampen the mood. The restaurant's image also lacks excitement compared to themed competitors.

    Unpleasant conversations nearby can create an uneasy date atmosphere.

Perks: Service shines, parking irks

What stands out about AB Shabu is their stellar service, which customers have praised for its attentiveness, friendliness, and efficiency. The restaurant accommodates large groups splendidly and the outdoor seating is spacious and well-kept. However, be prepared for potentially frustrating parking and the lack of reviews on the ease of making reservations.

  • Okay To Reserve

    Making reservations mentioned but no direct experience feedback.
