“I have indulged in a late lunch at Tabu Shabu twice. The staff did a great job of describing the options and preparation process, after learning it was my first visit. They checked in several times to ensure things were going well and offered advice. There are a variety of protein options and the vegetables gave "farm to table vibes." The meat was high-quality and the ponzu dipping sauce was delicious.Parking: The parking directly in front of the restaurant is small and crowded.“

“Second time coming here, the kimchi fried rice tasted different from the last time" other than that our food was delicious, our waitress was nice and friendly, we came at the perfect time it was slow, dining area was simple, and clean. We were the only ones sitting down eating, There was a bunch of Phone orders being picked up while we waited.“

“Service was great, very attentive and quick. The people were very nice. It was very causal and felt very family oriented. The food was good, but not quite my cup of tea. The hot pot we ate had great selection and variety , seafood was good. However I prefer my soup to be more salty and sour, not as sweet . My friends all loved it, just not my preference“

“Amazing! Came here to eat because my aunt recommended it to me. Never knew such a good individual hot pot spot was here all along. I love how deep the flavor is for the mala pot soup. It is a bit on the salty side, but I really love that to eat with the rice. I can tell the quality of the meat is really good because of how tender it is. Each pot is loaded and the price is reasonable. You HAVE to ask for their dipping sauce, it is the best thing ever. Service is amazing and I would definitely be coming back here again soon. Also, CASH ONLY!“

“We should have read the information about the restaurant before sit down. It took us by surprise to found out that basically this is all you can eat place that one can choose hot pot or barbecue or both at fixed prices. Great for someone who loves meats.“

“The soups here are high quality! The milk cream curry is my favorite pot to get. It has great toppings and a rich broth, topped with cream. The flavor of the curry is very fragrant as well. The ingredients are fresh and the pot is filled to the brim. If you go during lunch, they also give complimentary iced tea, which is very refreshing. The shop is small and can get quite busy. Overall, very great food! I also really enjoy the digestive jellies they give at the end of the meal.“

“This has been my favorite Tasty Pot location for years. I give 5 stars because I truly don't think I've ever had a bad experience here. Ordering through a QR code for has always allowed me to send and get my food quickly. Service has consistently been fast, attentive, and polite. When I checked in on Yelp, I was surprised to see I got a free green milk tea!! Definitely a nice surprise. I usually get the Beef Hot Soup - an easy 10/10 - and my boyfriend switches between that and the Sichuan Hot Soup - another consistent 10/10. And honestly, the soybean chili sauce deserves 5 stars all on its own. It's so good.“

“Long time coming review as I've come here so many times and is some of the best individual hot pot in South Bay. Spicy Mongolian with beef 5/5: I got the hot spicy level and it's just spicy enough for flavor without being overly unbearable, the veggies, clams, mushrooms, and beef with the spicy broth was great! Spicy Taiwanese Chicken Steak 5/5: love their combo with the chicken steak, we always get it every time we come. The service is great and it is almost never packed here so we always immediately sit down and are served.“

“I finally Got to try this restaurant after many attempts. There store hours on Google/yelp is different from actual store hours and that's the reason why I'm deducting 1 star. The 2 times I attempted to eat here they said the kitchen was closed.. but anywho! The food is soooo good here! We got their Bo Ne, Grilled mussels and seafood hotpot and all I have to say is wow. Everything was so flavorful and filling. Including all the dipping sauces they provide. The server was a younger girl with blonde hair, she was super sweet and attentive. This particular location has changed owners too many times in the last 10 years but I hope this business sticks around for a while. Definitely recommend Oc Lau Nuong.“

“The savory broths and solid meat cuts offer a delightful shabu shabu experience that's well worth the wait in line. All you can eat was reasonably priced for the quality, the atmosphere is simple yet inviting. Service is efficient and friendly, ensuring a satisfying dining adventure“

“4.5/5 Everything here was cooked perfectly! Genuinely surprised how everything I ordered was cooked right, not overcooked nor undercooked. I ordered the snails, crawfish, shrimp, clams, and bo ne, and I'm impressed. I asked for a rare steak and they delivered. The only reason I knocked 0.5 from the overall score is because the service. Our server wasn't really attentive and slow at bringing out our needs. But otherwise, worth checking out this place if you're in the area. P.S. ambiance reminds me of Vietnamese late night drinking places.“

“Such yummy hearty food I think it's a bit on the higher end for price but it's definitely quality food. I've been here before but this time I came with a larger group of around 7 people. They accommodated us by combining tables together. The servers were super nice and checked up on us often. I got the lamb pot and it was so good. Also since we went over 45 bucks on our table we got a complimentary calamari appetizer. So good!“

“Some of the best hot pot I’ve had! I love the selection of vegetables and their quality was very fresh. The meat and broth were tasty. The portions were very generous too! I’ll be coming back!Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies and tofu on the menu!“

“I was so pleased with the service and the quality of the food that I received from Phuong Nam Restaurant. They went above and beyond to perfect each of the items that I ordered. I was very impressed with the follow up and It was exactly what I was hoping for.“

“First time trying hot pot and it was actually pretty good. Everyone gets their own pot for hot pot. In the tablet you get what you want in terms of soup base, noodles, vegetables, meat, drinks. Then at the self serve they have sauces and some other things to add like jalapeno or cilantro. Pretty tasty. And the staff is attentive picking up dishes and filling water. Really nice service today. And even when we asked about vegan and dairy free options they seemed to be very knowledgeable right away.Dietary restrictions: Vegan broth upon asking. Knew dairy free options off the top of his head.“
