“my family and I really enjoy Mr. Shabu. We have mainly been for the sushi, and have really liked it. The Playboy Roll, which is sort of my go to roll, I'm torn if they are number 1 or 2 when it comes to the place I like it the most. but we have enjoyed many other rolls their. but we also appreciate their wall of ramen which is great for my daughter who is trying to like more sushi, but isn't all the way there yet. it make it easy for her to still get a full dinner, but also try some sushi as well. Any ways, if your looking for some good sushi, give Mr. Shabu a try.“

“The ramen noodles had good chew and though I normally like tonkotsu I enjoyed the broth. The soy egg was cold in the middle though. Loved the Japanese curry, feels like I can’t find too many places that serve it let alone serve it well. The pork belly rice bowl was great and I really liked their house beer.“

Loved everything but the strawberry roll stood out to me. Just a genuinely perfect experience for me and my friends. Thanks! Will be back.“

“I love this place. They are essentially always open compared to other ramen places, so if I'm not in a fast food mood I can always count on them to be around past 10. Their udon is absolutely delicious. There's some hours where it's totally empty and easy to grab a hearty meal, and sometimes it's a bit more crowded, but they have never let me down. I would definitely recommend giving it a shot!“
