If you go for the all-you-can-eat shabu shabu and all-you-can-drink sake and beer:

Pace yourself and make sure you eat before drinking

The drinks come fast but you’d be wise to control your early pace. It’s not a sprint! Slow down and enjoy the food for a few minutes ;)

Believe me…and John.

Enjoy!

I’ve been here twice in groups of about 12 and 6 and both times we’ve had an absolute blast. It’s basically a hot pot place except the only meat they have is high quality beef. The best part is that for an extra $10 you can make your all-you-can-eat meal an all-you-can-drink meal also! It’s good stuff too – house sake (warm and cold) as well as beers such as Sapporo, Asahi, and TsingTao. Highly recommended!

It’s really a shabu shabu place hidden in an American ’50s type of cafe. The choice is simple, all-you-can eat shabu shabu with or without all-you-can drink sake and beer. While not necessarily trendy, the crowd is typically young. Service is adequate but seating space is not. It gets a bit stuffy in their so make sure you can take off some layers. This should definitely be one of your first stops if you want shabu shabu in San Francisco.
