Kaizen Shabu

The waiter was extremely helpful! Being I never had shabu shabu before he spent the time to explain everything to me, then he helped me pick 2 delicious broths ( tonkatsu and creamy vegetable) and the best meats. Well worth every penny spent for the 3 of us! The owner stopped by and was so nice. Definitely will come back! The takoyaki and gyoza appetizers were amazing as well.

Love this place so much that my girlfriend and I had to bring our friends! Kaizen definitely made up for it! The food is delicious and quality, the staff is so friendly and Lamson the owner is an amazing human.

I had my first OC shabu shabu experience here and it was fantastic. It's located in an artsy part of Downtown Santa Ana with plenty of street parking nearby. I choose the spicy miso broth and the combo meat. So I got 5 oz each of pork and beef. Next time I would do the sharing option, it's a lot of food and you get to choose two broths. The beef was very good, make sure you don't let it cook in the broth too long. The atmosphere was upbeat and the employees were very nice, I can't wait to go back.
