While visiting Springfield, MO this weekend, I stopped into a new spot called Shabu Hot Pot — and I’m glad I did. This is an AYCE conveyor-belt style restaurant, but focused entirely on Hot Pot, which makes the experience really fun and unique. We were seated quickly and greeted by our server, Makayla, who took our drink order and explained how everything works. For $29.99, you get 90 minutes and one meat choice. I went with the ribeye and beef broth. The conveyor belt brings a steady rotation of noodles, cabbage, bok choy, mushrooms, fish, and plenty of other add-ins. Just drop what you want into the hot pot and you’re eating in under five minutes. Makayla checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I’ve been to several Hot Pot places before, but n

We were the first ones in on a Saturday morning, the environment is nice, simple, and was quiet. The server was very nice and professional, even admitting a mistake and making it right later on. The food however, was not quiet worth the price. For 2 with a drink each and one side of meat we ended up paying over $80 after tipping.

No salt or pepper available, no spices other than green onions and garlic on the sauce bar. We left full as we had to ensure we clean our plates so as not to be charg

Solid ramen and soup broth options to serve as the base. A combination of quality meat selections and an endless conveyor belt system of add on items to complete your meal. Highly recommend the ribeye and pork shoulder as two different meat selections. Tilapia and shrimp were two favorite off the conveyor. It’s a true food experience

I’m going to be honest… this review begins with me vomiting before I even made it to my car. Why? Because I mixed beef broth with a bunch of mystery seafood. You could tell it was seafood, just had no idea what animal it came from. Labels would’ve been nice… but curiosity won. The good first: this place is visually awesome. The little conveyor belt of ingredients is mesmerizing, clean, and easily the star of the show. Staff and manager? Friendly… except for the part where the pricing made me feel swindled with a smile. Restaurant? Spotless. Now the food. Most of my food stayed floating sadly in the bland broth. The rest? Briefly relocated to their bathroom. My entire party shared the same thousand-yard stare — “not our thing” doesn’t cover it. And here’s the real kicker: I came for LUNCH,
