Edamame Gyoza Tofu Vegetarian Miracle Seafood Angus Beef Chicken Sukiyaki Black Rice Udon Noodle Tofu Ponzu Sauce Goma Sauce Ninniku Sauce Tokyo Spicy Sauce Umami Sauce Soyo Sauce Caviar Sauce Sizzler Sauce Mochi Ice Cream Green Tea Ice Cream & Red Bean Ice Cream

Joon Shabu Shabu is a Japanese shabu-shabu simmers atop and high-ceilinged, industrial-style restaurant's bar. The cooking-your-own-meat-in-a-pot spot is an American block and perfect for first-timers because the waiting staff will happily direct you through the entire process if you sit at the counter. Joon Shabu Shabu is a highly entertaining way of dining. They have created a welcoming environment where their local community can make new friends and share a healthy meal. This place is a great keto option if you stay away from rice and noodles. They have a large selection of sauces to pick from. Their sukiyaki is more old-school shabu experience, featuring beef, udon noodles, veggies, and tofu cooked in a savory broth. You must try their edamame, gyoza, chicken salad, black rice, vegetable plate, and salmon.
