We had the $24.99 dinner buffet. Waited 1 hour 15 minutes at about 5:30 pm Saturday. Service and sides were very good. Different beef selections were all tough and some sinewy and grisly. Baby squid and shrimp were fresh, but shrimp were small. Very loud.

2. Gen Korean BBQ House

This spot on Harbor and Orangethorpe has been where restaurants go to die. Formerly a very empty Tony Roma's, there were a couple of short-lived ventures afterward that were not worth noting. We've been to other Gen locations and had good quality meat for a fair price. There is plenty of parking. We arrived on a Monday night before 5 pm. Packed! Well-ventilated! Good service! What is going ON?Chap chae was so-so. No steamed egg. But nearly everything else is included on this all-you-can-eat-in-two-hours menu. This includes a panoply of meat, meat and um... more meat! Our favorite was the kalbi. A close second was the premium thick-cut steak. They also had calamari, shrimp, gyoza and various Korean soups. There were many families of various ethnicities and this is an unintimidating place to try everything. Although you do grill the food yourself, it is pretty foolproof and the servers seemed quite attentive and willing to help. This is a great family place, very festive and clean. Not maybe a fave for the vegetarians in the group but we gave it two hearty thumbs up! Enjoy!

NOTE: Sakura Shabu-Shabu recently changed their name to Slice Shabu. The ownership appears to be unchanged as they are using the same website address that was under the previous name. The restaurant is located in downtown Fullerton on the southwest corner of Harbor Boulevard and Wilshire Avenue.Many Asian cuisines have their version of hot pot, food prepared in a simmering pot of broth at the dining table. The Japanese version is known as âshabu-shabu,â which translates roughly to âswish-swish.â Your first time eating at a shabu shabu restaurant can be a little intimidating, but at Slice the friendly servers will patiently explain what to do with the platter of thinly sliced meats, fresh veggies and noodles when they arrive raw at your table. Basically, you cook them in the hot pot in the seasoned of your choice, dip them into ponzu, tom yum or sesame sauce and eat them with some rice.Many shabu-shabu restaurants bring boiling water to the table for cooking your food, but at Slice you have your choice of cooking broths, including kombu (kelp), miso, spicy miso, sukiyaki and tom yum. The broth in turn grows more complex with each ingredient you add to the pot. Once youâve consumed all the vegetables, meat and noodles, they bring you bowls so you can slurp down the remaining broth.TIP: Donât dump all your ingredients into the pot at a time. Add your cabbage, carrots and broccoli before any meat because they can stew in the pot longer than the rest. In fact, the meat only takes a few seconds to cook before you can pull it from the broth, dunk it in your dipping sauce and enjoy.The dining room is sleek and contemporary. It has fancy stone table tops that are fitted with individual heating stations for boiling broth. In addition to wine and beer, the bar is stocked with a pretty good selection of sake, and they also serve martinis and other mixed drinks.The meals are definitely pricey but the experience is worth it, particularly for a special occasion. We enjoyed our time at Slice Shabu and left happily stuffed.
