Clients Reviews

Had the vegan broth made with kelp from Korea. Very clean broth which I like because it doesn't interfere with meat and veggies. Their meats were superb. New York cut was so tender. Their Toro cut was out of this world. They know their meat. Their seaseme dipping was excellent 👏 and they helped me make it really spicy. Our servers brought spicy drops and 5 drops were perfect for me. On a cold day, I may do more. Will bring my family and friends here for sure.

Went here really late. Service is great. Good food and good quality beef, living the spicy sukiyaki.

First time at Mokkoji Shabu Shabu. We were seated right away and had a great experience during lunch. The presentation was excellent and the atmosphere was very good. The food preparation area and the hot pots were nice and clean. I ordered the beef brisket and my wife ordered the salmon. The vegetables were nicely arranged and tofu blocks were even branded. As an added plus, the brisket was pre-marinaded (I haven't seen that at other shabu diners). The peanut sauce dip was delicious. Steven, our server, was very helpful and responsive. Overall, we had a wonderful time at Mokkoji. THANK YOU!

Other than the weird early 2000s pop music, it was a very nice experience. The meat and veggies were fresh and delicious. The broths were flavorful and well spiced. Unfortunately, I finished everything so fast that I didn't have a chance to take a photo of the well prepared food. Perfect place to take your friends, loved ones, and significant other! Very very nice Japanese hot pot!

I crave the toro and spicy pork broth, makes my mouth water 🤤 the last time we went, the customer service was phenomenal! We were seated quickly during dinner time, although we did have to sit outside. They were super attentive and accommodating and made sure the heaters were right near us. 🥰

Great vibe, food, service, & company! Ordered the spicy miso broth w/ large marinated flat iron Angus beef, was delish, veggies are unlimited but there's room for improvement on the selection, recommendation is to order XL on the meat!

Nice and clean store. They check your temperature before you get in. Arrived around 5PM and it wasn’t crowded at all. I chose the sukiyaki broth with Toro fat belly - best combination. Price is acceptable. Will coming back!
