Second time coming here. Service was great, meat is fresh & the ambiance is nice & lowkey. They have amble bar seating & about 6 large tables . I recommend the spicy umami broth & Waygu/ Kobe sampler !

First time here and I was not disappointed But I brought in my own sukiyaki sauce and it make a big difference. I had shabu shabu before but at Cerritos Wo my own sauce and I didn't like it much. This place have good customer service. It very small , we didn't get to sit regular seat table but on the stool seat instead wasn't the most comfortable but it was okay Check this place out if your in the Gardena area guys

So almost all my experience with shabu shabu is at a Korean version of shabu in Koreatown. I'll try to minimize comparisons but I'm sure there will be some I cannot avoid. This is a quaint little joint in the hub of ya know, like Gardena. The staff is really friendly and helpful and they check on you at least as much as I needed. On a weekend evening the basic AYCE was 35 dollars, whereas my usual joint on a weekend would be about 55 bucks. Compared to what I'm used to, there isn't a huge selection of broth options or meat options and there is no chicken option. I know most people won't want chicken at shabu, but some people maybe don't eat red meat or are like me, might be trying to eat less fat or red meat sometimes so I think that would be a good option for them to add. My sone got the miso broth which was wonderfully stronger flavored than shabu broth is, and my spicy broth was stronger as well. So we're very happy with the broth. The meat that was available was more per portion than we're used to and they were good. There were dipping sauce options and a very salty and spicy yuzu pepper topping they give you. Honestly not as many options as am used to be what they do have I like. Overall where I usually go costs more, and has more options, but if I'm in Gardena I think it's fair to say this place is as good for the price, and for the better broth here. Recommended and I would def go back to this place when in Gardena!

For only $35, you get 90 minutes for AYCE shabu shabu! Choices of meat include Angus beef, beef belly, pork shoulder, meatballs, and pork belly. Their Wagyu/Kobe is an additional $10 per plate. The quality of meat is melt-in your-mouth amazing! All of their sauces were tasty, I couldn't pick a favorite. You can also get unlimited amounts of curry rice! The sesame sauce is perfect The service is nice and attentive. The restaurant is kinda small, I wish they can expand bcz this is prolly one of my favorite shabu places!

Having lunch with my sister and niece at Shin-Sen-Gumi Shabu-Shabu AYCE Dining in Gardena. It costs $34.99 per person; children under 3 feet are free; children under 4 feet are $17.50; seniors over 65 are $28.00 (photo ID required). From Miso, Skiyaki, Tonkotsu, Spicy Umami, Dashi, Konbu, and Shoyu Dashi, you select the Broth. Angus beef, beef belly, pork shoulder, and pork belly are the unlimited protein sources. The extras include: Udon, Egg Noodle, Glass Noodle, Shrimp, Dumpling, Tofu, Fish Ball, Fish Ball w/Roe, Lobster Ball, Meatball Mix, and Vegetable Plate. Sesame sauce, Sweet Ponzu, and Original Ponzu are the dipping sauces. White rice and Japanese curry rice are served as sides. We're glad we chose to dine here for lunch today. Definitely will come back again.

I've now been here twice. Once for their Japanese bbq and now for shabu. Staff are friendly and attentive. Greeted upon arrival. Not busy at all as I would expect, 12:45pm on a Sunday. Shabu has a menu you select from with ayce. We order and they bring it out pretty quickly. Tonkatsu flavor broth, and some sesame / ponzu dipping sauces. Beef belly is marbled and tasty. Cooks quick! $46 with tip in all. I'd come back if in the area but nothing to go out of my way for.

Took my daughter for a post-rehearsal treat. The smell was amazing just as you walk in. I booked on Open table and highly recommended that. We got seated right away when we arrived. We sat at the table tops (like a bar). The service was fast, friendly and attentive. We picked two soups (tonkatsu and Dashi). Favorite sauces included cilantro paste and the yuzu pepper jar, so good. My daughter loved their ponzu, they have a spicy variation too. Our order came fast and the meats were super fresh, as well as the vegetables. I learned from my neighbor sitting next to me that you can also add or order specific vegetable vs the variety bundle. It was my first time trying the mixed meatball paste. OMG sooooo good. Must try. Good ambiance, very lively like most Shen Sen Gumi's. My daughter and I really enjoyed the whole experience!

This was my first time visiting shin-sen-gumi's shabu shabu even though it's a local spot! The parking lot is not that big and if it's a busy night could definitely be hard to park. There a a good amount of tables inside and they actually have bar seating which I thought was convenient! We made a reservation for 3 people on a weekday night but it wasn't too crowded! It's an AYCE shabu with a decent variety of meats and you share one pot for the whole table (up to 4 people usually). You have the option to split the broths and pick two from the selection which is nice. We picked the tonkotsu and sukiyaki broth to split. I liked the tonkotsu better because the sukiyaki was a bit on the sweeter side and I enjoy using the sauces like ponzu for dipping the meat. For sauces I got the two different ponzus and the sesame. The sesame sauce was thick which was a little different for me so I stuck with the ponzu and added garlic that the servers brought to us! For the vegetables it's not self serve so you order off the paper sheet and you can either get the vegetable plate or select individuals with other sides like noodles and tofu. I would recommend just picking the individual vegetables, unless you like all the ones offered! I would come back since it is so close and the meats/sauces are tasty! Now I just know what I like and don't like.

Shabu Shabu is my favorite, so I was excited to try this place out after hearing good things about it. We made a reservation online the day before. It required putting a credit card down, and they charge $10 per person for no shows. They also do senior discounts (65+) & discounts for kids under 4 feet. We ordered both beefs and pork. We also tried the wagyu! It is all you can eat, so make sure to come with an appetite! I thought the meats were all good, but I wish the vegetables were better. We all got only the core pieces of nappa. In comparison to other shabu places in the area, I thought the meats were pretty good. I think other restaurants have more variety for vegetables but overall, not bad. The service here is great. This place is not self-serve like other shabu places, and servers bring all items out for you. Our waitresses were all sweet & helpful, and brought our things out quickly. Kody is also a great manager!
