Shabuway - San Andreas

Terrible waiter staff that was extremely rude.Made us order 2 entrees and slapped on sharing fee just for sharing food which is purpose of hot pot.Would recommend not stepping foot in this restaurant.

Shabuway is a great and comfortable place to dine. The service is very attentive and the gentleman working the slicer is very kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. Enjoy your time at this establishment and you will not be disappointed.

They nickel and dime you for everything. Anything other than the plain broth costs extra, if you want to share food there is a fee, the more expensive vegetable plate is for variety and not more food. The server also did a terrible job of explaining this to us, we only figured it out in the middle of the meal.I would have been less upset if they were transparent about all these extra costs. Now I know why they were super pushy about us getting ayce even though we didn’t want it.

Very expensive, for very little food, with miso soup that tastes like water. Be prepared to be nickle and dimed. I will not be returning.Paid extra for soup; tasted like water.Paid extra for vegetables; got the same quantity of vegetables as before, just more variety.Paid extra to share food with a friend; not to even get more food, just share the same quantity of food one person would eat. What the hell is a share fee ?

Shabuway is one of the more affordable hot pot options in San Mateo, but there's a certain allure to the Japanese shabu shabu broths that draws you in on a cold night! I got the combination Tonkotsu and miso broth, and both were well seasoned, perfect for dipping meats into!Shabuway has an AYCE option but honestly, as a big eater, the serving of meat is enough to feel satisfied. They offer beef, pork, lamb, shrimp! I got the kurobuta pork which was so tender and tasty, nicely marbled with fat my party also got the angus and american kobe beef, both of which honestly tasting and feeling the same to each other, but both good! I also thought the vegetable plate that comes with the main was nicely varied! Recommend for when you're craving a hot pot restaurant!
