Ichikawa Shabu Fondue offers an all-you-can-eat shabu shabu experience, but unfortunately, my visit fell short of expectations. While the quality of the meat wasn't bad, several aspects detracted from the overall enjoyment.
Long Waits and Unclean Tables: The biggest disappointment was the slow service. Waiting 15-20 minutes for each order significantly impacted the dining experience. Additionally, the table wasn't well-cleaned upon arrival,
Meat Quality: Despite the service issues, the quality of the meat itself wasn't a major drawback. It wasn't exceptional, but it wasn't disappointing either.
Overall: While the all-you-can-eat format might seem appealing, the slow service and uncleanliness significantly impacted my experience.⋯⋯⋯

We tried the AYCE Shabu Shabu on a rainy New Year's eve 2022 for $33.88 per person. There was no waiting.
AYCE includes all-you-can-eat vegetables, assorted noodles, seafood (clams, mussels, crawfish, assorted fish), tofu, fish cake, etc. You also get all-you-can-eat meat (3 orders per round per person), 2 appetizers per person, broth of your choice, a bowl of rice (if requested), and ice cream (many flavors) for dessert at the end.
By the end of first round, my wife and I were both full. Angus beef and lamb are quite delicious.
Service was average. They also serve a la carte Shabu Shabu meal for around $21 but AYCE is a better value, in my opinion.
Overall, I am satisfied with the quality, quantity and taste of the food.
I will definitely go back there soon.

Wow wow wow... The food was amazing. They have the $52 deal for 2. It was great just wished it came with more meat. The service was excellent. Place is very clean and again amazing food... You won't regret it!
