Founded in Costa Mesa, Mokkoji Shabu Shabu aims to deliver an authentic Japanese hot pot experience emphasizing freshness, quality, and community warmth. Our chefs source premium ingredients, such as fresh Flammulina filiformis mushrooms and various seafood, ensuring every dish exceeds expectations. We carefully craft broths like our Korean kelp-based vegan option and traditional miso, which enhance but do not overpower the natural flavors of meats and vegetables. Known locally for our signature Toro cut and fast service, we prioritize customer satisfaction and personal touches, like our servers helping diners with spice levels to match their preference.
The restaurant’s layout promotes a casual and lively vibe, attracting university students and small groups who appreciate shared dining moments. Situated where Adams Avenue meets local neighborhoods, we provide convenient access alongside free parking and wheelchair accommodations. Open seven days a week from 11:30 AM until 9 or 10 PM, we welcome reservations to ensure a seamless dining experience. Our community values good food, friendly faces, and a welcoming environment—perfect for celebrations or a comforting solo meal.
