What is shabu shabu? It’s a Japanese hot pot, featuring paper-thin slices of meat and fresh vegetables cooked together in a large open pot.The best thing about shabu shabu is that the ingredients can be customized to your own taste and preferences, from a wagyu beef to healthy vegetables.

I was taken to Downtown Los Angeles 10 years ago from Shabu Shabu… My favorite part is yelling “Shabu Shabu” while you swish meat – We have a theory that this is the perfect timing for a nice piece of meat that is not over cooked the length of time it takes to say “Shabu Shabu” is the perfect swish time…
