Went with a large party and all had the All-You-Can-Eat Hot Pot. The meat, seafood, and vegetable choices were all very fresh and delicious. Our server was excellent with suggestions and answers to all of our questions, and delivery of everything to our table was quick and friendly. Will definitely go again!
Lots of broth, meat, seafood, and veggies options. You can get a lot of bang for your buck for the all you can eat if you eat a lot. Our favorites were the ribeye and octopus. But overall thoroughly enjoyed our time. It does get quite busy on weekends so be patient with the servers.
What an experience! If you're looking for a little bit of a different style of cooking and open minded to news ways to enjoy food of other cultures, give Gom Shabu Shabu a shot! The menu is diverse enough to satisfy most eaters, I wouldn't bring anyone who's considered picky here, they're just not going to get their moneys worth. You start with a base broth in a pot in front of you, you order your meats/seafood/veggies plate by plate and then you dig in by using your pot of of hot broth to cook the food you ordered! They have a full sauce bar where you can create your own spicy/sweet or tangy dipping sauces. It's all you can eat with a 2 hour limit, and the staff is very attentive! The only reason it does not get perfect marks, is simply because the menu could be a little more diverse (more seafood options maybe some Wagyu) but other than that small nit pick, you'll have a great time... Bring friends/family!
Every time we go, the service is excellent and the food is delicious! This restaurant was my first hot pot experience. I've been several times now. I'm definitely hooked on the food now. Excellent service and delicious food. I love the lamb meat option. I've been here like 7 times now. It's sooo good
This place is one of my go-to spots for all-you-can-eat hotpot. I visited on Monday around 3 PM, and the staff were friendly and the food came out very quickly. The fresh beef and seafood are unlimited, so you can truly enjoy as much as you like. With plenty of vegetables, tofu, and corn, the broth gets richer and more flavorful over time. Great quality, excellent value, and always a satisfying experience. Highly recommend!
We had never been to this restaurant before and thought we would give it a try. We went at lunch time and the restaurant was packed with patrons. We sat down and tried to figure out what we should do. The table has individual pots on the table with a simple soup broth in it. You control the heat and turn it up or down once it gets to boiling. You could order individual meats or go for the all you can eat entree. The waitress we had was not easy to understand so we had to bring our patience and listen. She pointed and because we didnt know how much or what types of meat we would eat we ended up ordering the all you can eat entree for two. It cost about $23.99 per person. There were allot of warnings that you must eat what you order or you will be charged extra. That was a bit annoying because this was our first time we didnt really know if we left veggies on the plate if we would be charged. The portions were large so this was a bit alarming if you don't know what they consider to be wasteful. You are handed a sheet of paper and you select the meats and vegetables you want in your broth. It is accompanied by a dipping sauce that comes in various spice levels. We picked the spicy sauce and it was good. I placed some in my soup as it was a bit plain broth. We ordered different types of beef, shrimp, noodles and vegetables. The shrimp came with the head and shell on, so it was a mess to deal with. I won't order shrimp again. This is a restaurant that you go to to sit, cook your food and take your time eating. This is not fast food, it's a communal environment and I found people sat and talked. Overall it was nice and we enjoyed ourselves. It was a different experience for us and we would go back.
My favorite hot pot place. Each table is installed with individual stove so the guests can create their own hotpot. I tried all you can eat style on the menu and the server brings you endless meat, vegetables, noodles, seafood until you are stuffed. You still have to get up and make your own dipping sauce from the buffet style sauce and ingredients bar.
