Ancient Ritual, Coastal Table
IShabu Shabu brings the centuries-old Japanese tradition of shabu shabu to the shores of Redondo Beach — where premium meat is sliced right in front of you and every pot tells its own story.
IShabu Shabu | Our Story
The Ancient Ritual
Shabu shabu is the meditative ritual of swirling paper-thin slices through simmering broth — slowing down at the table together. We built IShabu around that.
Planted in Redondo Beach
A steaming pot of broth steps from Pacific Coast Highway, salt air meeting rich aromas — coastal California and Japanese hot pot turn out to be a natural fit.
Sliced Right in Front of You
At most places meat arrives pre-cut. Here it's sliced tableside, in full view, moments before it hits your pot — and guests notice immediately.
A Broth for Every Diner
Traditional dashi, bold kimchi, and a vegetarian tonkotsu so rich it routinely surprises meat-eaters. There's a pot here with your name on it.
Already Planning the Next Visit
Guests leave already debating which broth to try next time — the counter feels intimate, the service genuine, and cooking together turns strangers into regulars.
