"Tabu Shabu is absolutely delicious and a must try, if you're in the area. If you're lucky enough, you might end up with Taylor as your server, who from start to finish, was a phenomenal and integral part to our experience at Tabu Shabu North Park.Clean, stylish and modern with plenty of bar seating. Since you're sitting side by side, this place is more suited for groups of two. Somehow, my friend and I got lucky on a cold winter night in February and were seated without a wait. Often times, this place can be hit or miss with wait times.If you're hungry, the large size should be more than enough. Feeling extra hungry? Grab some extra noodles and vegetables to fill up your plate! Super hungry? Get the double portion size, which for the additional cost, isn't too terrible. Again, the large size should be more than adequate, especially if you're grabbing appetizers and a beer or two!I got a large order of rib eye, which came with a healthy portion of vegetables and ramen noodles, the Tonkotsu broth, some garlic edamame and left feeling more than satisfied. The staff also helps you pack up your leftover broths and food, which makes for a great meal the next day. I may or may not be slurping some of it right now, as I type this review, ha!Overall, if I'm in the neighborhood again, I wouldn't mind swinging by Tabu Shabu North! The staff, decor and vibe, as well as picturesque food presentation makes this a top contender in one of San Diego's already crowded food scene in North Park. Definitely Check this place out, if you haven't already!Pro tip: With your leftovers at home, add in some rice to make some porridge and/or add in your favorite pack of instant noodles for a delicious meal."
