Dada Shabu Shabu Buffet

If you're in the mood for delicious Korean food, this is a must-visit. The buffet offers a wide variety of dishes, each bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is inviting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Korean dining experience.

This is the best hot pot/ Shabu Shabu restaurant I’ve ever tried! The all you can eat is worth every penny. Everything is self-serve except for the meat, which the attentive servers brought out immediately. The service is amazing. They have several options of the meat but the top blade cut and lamb is a must! The salad bar has an amazing amount of selection to choose from ranging from shrimp, fried chicken, Korean rice cake, and much more. It’s $34 per person for all the food! Completely worth it.

The quality of the meat is great and the dipping sauces were also good. I wish there were more broth paste options since the broth itself is somewhat boring. When it gets busy, it's not ideal since everyone is crowding the buffet area. The buffet has a good selection of vegetables and sides like japchae and rice cake. I think it's still one of the better shabu places in Irvine and wouldn't mind coming here again

This place is so delicious. We crave it at least twice a month and we are there at least that often. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We love that there are so many seafood and vegetable options. We do not eat pork or beef and we still feel like we get an incredible value and so many options. If you ever want to try shabu/ hot pot, this is a great place to try it out. Easily our favorite in all of the places we’ve tried.

First time going to a Korean hot pot restaurant! I was nervous because it’s been a long time since I’ve been to an AYCE place. Everything was sanitary and staff was super nice. Meat and vege were fresh; I also enjoyed the fried chicken! I only wished they had sa cha bbq sauce! I was also disappointed with the bing soo dessert station - I was expecting fresher fruits or other fun ingredients; it wasn’t too appetizing to me.

This was a good all-you-can eat we found! We were starving when we arrived, so the 40-minute wait seemed like an eternity. I may consider another option next time if there is a wait. The meat options were very fresh. My favorite were the lamb and the steak chuck eye roll. I also liked the buffet style bars for veggies, fish cake varieties, noodles, seafood, drinks, and shaved-ice dessert. I would enjoy the meal more if there were more vegetable options (such as seaweed, winter melon, or other root vegetables) since there were only 2-3 leafy options that are not unique to the Asian cuisine. The shrimps were very fresh and delicious. Sadly, we did find a piece of plastic wrap in our boiling soup — likely from one of the frozen seafood dishes we picked up at the bar, so we had to avoid using that side of the pot for the rest of the meal since plastic broth can’t be good for us, right? We did not ask for new brother because we were almost done with the meal anyway, but when we mentioned the plastic to our waiter, he was extremely apologetic about it and discussed it with kitchen staff first thing.
