We just love this restaurant, even though there is another shabu-shabu restaurant closer to us. The Wife usually orders the "shabu-shabu style" seaweed based broth, while I always order the "sukiyaki style" soy sauce based broth. Both are mild in flavor. The broth is placed in a stainless steel bowl on top of an induction cooker in front of you. They have also creatively crafted a bowl shaped in a yin and yang, so that two people can enjoy both broths at the same time. What a great idea! You select the type of meat, poultry or seafood you desire. I get either beef, pork or a mixture of both. The Wife usually orders the raw sea scallops. We found out that the scallops are sushi grade and not the tiny ones. Forget cooking them in the broth, we just eat these neatly sliced and scrumptious raw scallops after dipping them straight into a mixture of soy sauce and wasabi. Another great thing about this place, is that the vegetables are unlimited. Also, the salad is so tasty. It's has this awesome dressing that is mayo-based, tangy, and has a slight sweet finish. I usually end up ordering at least 2-3 salads because of that damn dressing. The main reason why I love this place is all about those tofu noodles. This was where I had this type of noodle for the first time. I always go insane and ask for heaps of it. It's unlimited!!! It's all about the texture of these noodles. This noodle is perfect for shabu-shabu because no matter how long you leave it in the boiling hot broth, the noodle it's texture. It does not get mushy. It's so hard to describe its texture because it's slippery and soft but has a slight crunch to it. It's like eating jellyfish in a jellyfish salad. It's out of this world for my mouth!!!! (i mean the noodles....hmmm maybe also the jellyfish salad, but i love both) Because of the mild flavor of the broths, after cooking each piece meat, vegetable, and tofu noodles, you are able to flavorize them by dipping them in either a peanut based, a ponzu, or a spicy ponzu sauce. I love the spicy ponzu sauce because it has a good amount of heat and is just so tangy. I highly recommend this place. The service has always been excellent and the flavors and quality of food has been so consistent for the number of times we have gone there. I can't wait to go back there again!!!
