Jazz Cat Fusion Shabu

We had the Japanese curry base with the TW BBQ dipping sauce and ordered the large tray of wagyu and it was very tasty. But, the vegetable tray did not look as good as it did in the photo however which was disappointing ours literally came with one half piece of a button mushroom that was soggy and bruised for two people. If we knew that we would have ordered more vegetables and less meat. Also the udon came in one frozen block and had to be cooked all at once which I would have preferred to be able to control better. But overall I would come here again and just order my own vegetables.

I have always loved this place! This post is about my recent visit. I was part of a group of 3 and we all ordered different things. I got the Taiwanese spicy with lamb T-Rex. The broth was really good if you are into spicy broth. I have tried spicy miso, seafood essence and Thai green curry the past which are equally good. The reasons I am giving a 4 stars and not 5 are following: They charge extra for the egg… Which end up being a $1.25 more. I understand that due to inflation you have to cut down and make money where you can. But this is a bit unreasonable. Other thing is that they really cut down on the amount of vegetables offered if you get T-Rex. I felt like they highly cut down on it. Last time I was there was last November and this wasn’t the case. However, I would still come back because the broths are really really good.

We took our Mom to Jazz Cat for Mother's Day, her special request. We had a phenomenal meal. The staff was so kind and helpful. We ordered the Lamb T-Rex, the assorted fish and seafood, and had the Japanese Miso (Regular and Spicy). It was sooo yummy. We were glad to be able to celebrate Mom here. She was so happy! Thank you for the excellent service and wonderful meal, Jazz Cat. 😁

I went there last night for dinner with my friends and afterwards I had a really bad stomach ache this morning and my stomach still hurts and I have been having runs going to the bath room after the Zumba class this morning you guys need to clean up the restaurant a little bit more cleaner and the food must be really dirty

Third time going and its closed on Friday. Just forget about going for lunch. I dont enjoy driving an hour out of my way to find its closed. The added aggravation that a "We are open sign" sitting there only adds to the misery. They have it closed at random hours. Construction on Fullerton/Gale only adds to the problem. Construction blocks all of Fullerton/Gale for the foreseeable future to all traffic. When Jazzcat is open its my favorite shabu restaurant. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Plenty of sauces to pick from. Soup bases are solid. Meats are tender. Portions are good. Fried mushrooms are to die for.

There's no need to think about it, this is the best hot pot restaurant in Socal. And if you're wondering what to get and how to prepare it, my suggestion is get the Thai spicy or seafood essence for the soup, ask for the garlic/cilantro/green onion/egg add-on and mix it with the soup. Order beef (T-Rex) for the meat and don't forget to get the golden fish balls because they are heavenly. For the dipping sauce, satay works well with the beef. Try not to eat too fast :) Enjoy!
