Go Shabu: A Japanese Hot Pot Buffet in Houston, TX

Ok , I am a super fan of hot pot places and this one did not disappoint!!! I was greeted gracefully by the host. He made sure the seat he got me was ok with me and Mason my server was fantastic. I think he read my flavor pallet as I was asking for the types of meats and soup base and he was on point, their veggie and seafood selection is really good. Thank you team Go Shabu for the great experience Faves for today : Soup base : pork flavor Meats: #1 short rib and #6 brisket Veggies : so many but the faves today, Squash, 3 types of mushrooms , Napa cabbage , bean sprouts, carrots, corn, bamboo. For flavor Cilantro Garlic Green onion Sauces : Peanut sauce Hoisin Chili oil Awesome fruit selection as well Simply tasty

This place is great. Me and my boyfriend go here very often. The servers have almost always been amazing and friendly. They have the BEST sauce bar nearby. We have gone to K-Pot twice to compare here and there.. this definitely wins. The meat options are all solid, I like the brisket. They have a good amount of veggies, and seafood. They have lots of other options too like tofu, pumpkin (my favorite), quaill eggs, dumplings, LOTS of noodles, etc. You can ask for rice or raw eggs from the server. The condiment bar here is seriously great. If you are a sauce person definitely come here. They replaced the spicy mayo with a way more orange one that I don't like but otherwise I've had a good consistent experience here. The broths are ACTUALLY flavorful. Tom Yum and Spicy are my favorites. They also have fresh fruit and ice cream for dessert. I seriously can't recommend this place enough. It's a little pricey so we can't go as often as we like but that price is worth it. Only complaint I truly have is that the booths kinda suck. I prefer booths but most of them are weirdly far away from the table so it's hard to eat unless you lean far forward or arent using the back of the booth at all. They're wood too so that doesn't help. I have to use the regular chairs instead sadly because of this. If the booths were more comfortable and closer to the table that would be awesome.

Awesome place! We usually drive up to Houston for hot pot, but wanted to try somewhere closer to home. Soup base was delicious! And the meat was good quality for what we paid. Large selection of things to add to the soup. We came in right before closing time, and we did not feel rushed. Our server was really nice. He even set some extra soup to the side for us in the back, in case we decided we wanted more after closing time.

When we don’t feel like making a trip to bellaire, this is our second best option for good quality shabu hot pot. The ingredients are fresh and the sauce and broth options, along with the meat options are great. Service is pretty good as well!

Came for dinner. Food was delicious. It's all you can eat and all you can cook. Each person has an individual hot pot to cook with. No need for sharing. You select your soup base or a mix of soup base depending on preference and get your ingredients from the buffet table. What's so nice is they have lots of items to choose from to add to your pot. The vegetables are fresh and the meats are quality. They also have signs to suggest how to create your own dipping sauces. The staff are very friendly and helpful. So much food to select from but make sure you leave room for desserts. There's ice cream and fresh fruits.

Good selection of meat, except they are very thinly sliced. The table is rather small for 4 pots, not enough space for all the food. The soups were great, we had tonkatsu and tom yum. Good selection of seafood and veggies as well.

About $35 a person after tip for dinner. I have to admit this place was good. Everything including the vegetable I never eaten before. One of my favorite items was the pork dumplings. They have way too many fresh options to choose from. Seafood Mushroom . This was my first time eating this. I was impressed They have many sauces to choose from. The sauces are just right and not to thick. My favorite was the ginger. The Hot Pot cooks food very fast. It was a cool experience. The meat was amazing. I want to say it is better than the seafood choices they had. The only thing I didn't like was the shrimp . It is Farm Raised. The Oyster were delicious The octopus takes longer to cook than the rest of the food. I will definitely be back.

I’ve been going to this place for the past 4 years with my sister. Still our favorite hot pot place to this day! The workers are always welcoming every time we come. I love the Japanese Curry and Go Shabu Spicy broths, and I still haven’t found a broth as good as the ones here. The food bar is always well organized and clean with a lot of options available for sauce. They also have ice cream available! The #1 Short Rib beef on the menu has always been a favorite as well. Highly recommend this place!
