Type of Cuisine- Japanese Shabu Shabu 

Type of Restaurant- Casual

 

Ambience and Setting- Yoshi Shabu Shabu is a one of a kind, authentic, Japanese restaurant. Its interior features a modern but cozy Japanese style. It is spacious with many family style or individual pot tables to accommodate all crowds. It also has cherry blossom trees painted on its main wall, which is very beautiful and brightens the room up nicely. There is a bar in the center as well with glass fridges behind displaying all of their fresh ingredients used. 

 

Food and Presentation- While the interior is beautiful, the food is what is important. I really love all Japanese and Korean food, and this place is by far my favorite. Shabu Shabu is a form of cooking that involves cooking meat and vegetables in a broth with various flavors. If you’ve ever tried Korean BBQ and Hot Pot, I like to think of Yoshi Shabu Shabu as a perfect mix between the two. My favorite things to order are the filet, prime ribeye, ramen noodles, vegetables, and their rice. I also really like spicy food so I ask for their Spicy Chili Garlic to add as well. Their dishes also come with ponzu, peanut, and teriyaki sauce to compliment the flavors of the meat. As for the presentation, you cook everything yourself. It’s a very cool concept for a restaurant and all the ingredients are beautiful. 

 

Service and Staff- As previously mentioned, you cook your own food. But, that does not denote the amazing service that is provided to you. Every time I go, it is always fast and the staff checks in on you multiple times. I always ask the servers what I should try and they never fail to disappoint. 

 

Overall, Yoshi Shabu Shabu is by far one of the best restaurants I've eaten at. I keep coming back to it again and again and it never fails to satisfy me. I recommend this restaurant to everyone reading, it is truly one of a kind.
