SHABUMI

I recently dined at this restaurant while visiting San Diego, and it completely exceeded my expectations.

The service was fast, the food was delicious, and the overall experience was amazing. The selection of meats for the BBQ were fresh and juicy. The hotpot options were also impressive, with a large variety of broths and ingredients to choose from.

Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone seeking an delicious Korean dining experience. If I travel to San Diego again, I’ll definitely be going back! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

We’ve been coming here for a few years and it’s always been really good. However, tonight the service was exceptional. We were regularly checked on to make sure we were enjoying everything or if we needed anything. There is a large array of options for the proteins and I love that you can do either hotpot or BBQ. If you come during dinner rush there’s a bit of a wait but it’s well worth it.

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got the chance to. They serve both hot pot or kbbq which is really cool! My friend did kbbq and I did hot pot. We were also able to share with each other. Dinner price was $40. For hot pot- pick out of the 5 broth they offer. Choose your meats. Kbbq- choose your meats and sides They have a salad bar that you can get your own vegetables, + other proteins (fish cake, tofu etc), different noodle options and they also have a sauce bar you can create your own sauces! Overall, the place was pretty good and service was great. Definitely coming back here again!

We ended up going for the dinner service which for a “salad bar” (veggie only) hotpot and a bbq + 2

cokes = $81 + tip. The staff were super helpful and

attentive, which is something I feel is necessary for a place like this and a noob like me. I ordered their miso hotpot. For noodles, I went for udon. They have a good variety of veggies (oyster mushrooms, yum)!

My friend enjoyed his meaty bbq and got the meat sweats hahaha. Whatever you do, come on an empty stomach 😉

Delicious

Quick

Friendly

Went with my fiancé and daughter for our anniversary. It’s awesome because you can share hot pot and Korean BBQ. Totally worth it! Excellent customer service.

Will be back again.

Yay!! We are back! This is our 2nd time here (we are here in San Diego for Comic-Con)…and wanted to come here again. I still give 4 stars…I still enjoy everything here, and the sauce bar bottles still messy(I can’t find the right word), it’s like EVERYONE is handling the bottles and the sauces gets on all over the bottle and so when next person comes it’s all slippery, mainly like sesame oil. Love the variety of everything else. Service is neutral…they sat us diagonally by the door, so when someone opens the door, we keep feeling the gush of wind hitting us…no bueno. We did ask for another area to sit, but they said no room…they are reserved…didn’t know you can rsvp sections. Love that they have choices of Hot Pot or Korean Bbq (which we still have to try)…maybe next year?

Really great options to have ayce hotpot or ayce kbbq at the same table. Meat for the hotpot was great! Meat for the kbbq was eh.

Self service sauce station, veggie, sides and seafood was really nice cause you don’t have to wait for the server. However, the ladies were very attentive and changed the grill, refilled water frequently.
