Dada Shabu Shabu Buffet - Irvine

I really love this place! The food is absolutely delicious. I especially enjoy the brisket and highly recommend trying the fish as well. They offer a great variety of dishes, and I find the prices to be reasonable. In my experience, it’s not too crowded on weekdays, which is a bonus. My only complaint is that I’m not a fan of the shaved ice. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! Food: 5/5

However, they then informed us that we would need to be split into two tables since we had five people, which we accepted. For the next few minutes, we noticed the staff talking among themselves and glancing at us, but they made no effort to seat us. As our 10-minute window began to shrink with no movement from them, we decided to leave to avoid any further issues. On our way out, we spotted one of the servers joyfully dancing, which was quite off-putting. We then headed down the street to All That Shabu, and although they were also nearing closing time, they treated us kindly and we had a wonderful experience there. We even left a generous tip to thank them for their hospitality, departing before the last customers arrived. Unfortunately, we have decided we will not be returning to Dada’s.

We visited this restaurant and found the staff to be very friendly. However, we felt that the price for a plate of just meat was excessively high given the quality. We ordered three plates of thinly sliced meat for $75. The atmosphere was mostly family-oriented. The mussels were excellent. One downside was that there were no dessert options for people with type 1 diabetes, such as a cookie, cake, or ice cream; they only had shaved ice available.

If you're in the mood for delicious Korean food, this is a must-visit. The buffet offers a wide variety of dishes, each bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is inviting. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Korean dining experience.

Food was good. Servers and Front Desk hostess were not pleasant. Need more training for service. Had to ask server to refill soup 3 times but never happened. I had to grab someone to do it. Check in experience was not happy. They had a 6 ppl table available but would not give out. 6 ppl why came later than us took that seat even that group had 2 kids which is free. Head server kept telling us he would not know how long it will take to have table for 5. Feel like he did not want to take care of customer. Overall servers did not pay attention on guest table. Better traing will make better business for this location.
