The moment i walked in I was surrounded by a fun and yet serene athmosphere, the staff made me feel right at home instantly and I was seated near the other customers, which caught me off gaurd at first but quickly turned into new friendships and a family like enviroment that is hard to match outside of a good friend’s house. The food was excellent. The quality of the meats was superb and the broth was flavorful and of course it was expertly tailored to my exact preference by an extremely kind young man who must love every minute of his job. I was new to this style of cooking and the staff all but spoon fed me the food after patiently explaining exactly what was going on and what I was expected to do. This is an great place for a fun date if you enjoy hands on experiences, love playing with your food, and can appreciate simplicity. Free sake on wednesdays, what more can I say? Free icecream for dessert. Do me a favor, get yourself out here. It was very affordable too!

A very enjoyable meal. Beef were well sliced, you get an individual hot pot and choose your own broth. Attentive service. Highly recommended and I do plan to return.

We came here with high hopes seeing stellar star ratings from both Google and Yelp. It was a cold night so we figured that Dhabi would be a perfect option. When we got there about 6 parties were waiting in line ahead of us, but it moved quickly and we got seated within 20 minutes. First impression, lively place and very noisy. The waitress asked if we were ready to order 3 times within a 5-minute span, and we felt like she was rushing us to order. Anyway, we ended up pickig the large seafood plate and rib eye plate as our entrées. The food arrived pretty quickly, and they looked good! And that was the only good thing I could say about the food. Upon our first bite we could tell that the scallops and ribeye were either in the freezer for too long, or the temperature was not set right on the freezer because they were both very dry. The texture of the salmon was alright, but the flavor was very bland. The sauce and broth also were very bland, and the thick-looking sesame sauce was very sticky and tasted like it was thickened with starch. The service was not bad, but we could feel that they were rushing us so they can free up the space for the next customers. Overall a two ★ experience. One ★ for the food and 2.5★ for the service and ambiance.

Questions & Answers

Do we need to make reservations or is it first come first serve

Strongly recommend a reservation! They usually do same day a few hours ahead of time!

Do they offer to go?

Not that I have seen since it is a big soup place but I think it would be a good idea if they offered that as well.
