Meokja Shabu Shabu

The service was friendly and very accommodating for our party of about 10 ppl. They did have us a waiting awhile, but they were generous to give us a few bottles of Soju and a birthday cheesecake slice for our friend on the house. The food was worth the wait. The ambiance is very social. Small indoor space. Would recommend. Great flavor with my food. • Tom Yum: 4/5 • Meokja Assorted Mushroom and Tofu Platter: 4/5 • Ramen Noodles: 4/5

In an area with limited options for Shabu-Shabu, discerning diners are faced with a distinct choice: an all-you-can-eat establishment or Meokja which positions itself as the higher-quality alternative. After a recent visit, it is clear this establishment largely delivers on its promise of quality. ​The fundamentals of the Shabu-Shabu experience were well-executed. The vegetables provided were notably clean and fresh, offering a crisp and vibrant component to the meal. The soup base, while not exceptional, was perfectly acceptable and served as a pleasant foundation for the other ingredients. ​The restaurant's main draw, its premium meat selection, was best exemplified by the beef. The cuts were of a high quality, evident in the rich flavor and satisfying texture upon being cooked in the broth. This component alone makes a strong case for choosing this restaurant over its competitor. Also the drinks are pretty Cảm ơn!

So happy I found Meokja! When Mikoji in Riverside closed with no updates, we were seriously bummed, but honestly, this spot is just as good… if not better. Their Korean fried chicken appetizers are AMAZING, perfectly crispy and full of flavor, and every single dipping sauce is delicious. I also really appreciate that they offer more variety, which is perfect when you have picky kids. Safe to say… we can forget about Mikoji now 😂 Meokja has officially become our new go-to!

My family and I love coming here! Always hits the spot especially when I want to eat out but want a healthy option Meokja is the best choice. Our order is always sukiyaki and tonkatsu soup base with the meat lovers platter 🤌🏼

We were taken care of so very well. It was the soft opening and they were very busy. We still got taken care of in a timely manner. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We were given a shot of sake and a delicious appetizer on the house. They were very thorough and detailed on showing us how to order so that we could have the best experience. The broth has to be the best I’ve had anywhere. We will definitely be back very soon!!!! Highly recommended 🍜🥣🥩🥩🥦🥒🥕

We’ve been here a couple of times and we absolutely love the food and customer service. I honestly can’t say enough about how amazing the server, Ashley, and the owner (didn’t get her name) were. Our party was 3 adults and a child. We all ate plenty there and had plenty to take home. The prices are fair, they changed their pricing so that veggies and rice are unlimited. The Tonkansu and Tom Yum broth are my absolute favorite! They currently have a promo of two free samosas per adult/meal and they are actually good. This is our favorite shabu shabu and will continue to be back.

When I say it was an amazing experience it is short of a GREAT compliment. I’ve had Shabu Shabu before however my wife and daughter had never experienced this type of dish. Chef Priscilla was the best, not only did she greet us she took the time to explain each and every item on our beautiful plate and how long to let it cook and what sauces to use. The food was so delicious and the owner was so sweet she had us try one of her Soju drinks on the house! The service was great, all the employees including Ashley are on top of making sure you are well taken care of during your visit.
