What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about Zabu Zabu:
If a restaurant advertises being open on Christmas and allows reservations through OpenTable, they should actually be open when customers make the effort to drive across town to dine there! View all feedback. What OpenTable Diner likes about Zabu Zabu:
Our waitress was so great!! So observant and helpful when we didn’t know how to shabu shabu. The food was amazing. There was a screaming baby throughout the meal but I can’t blame that on the restaurant. Overall, wonderful! View all feedback.

It had been a few years since we were in Zocalo, but it was as good as we remembered it to be. There were still some favorites on the menu, but also some new di...

Incredibly friendly (and frankly adorable) staffSo happy there's a solid shabu joint in the east bay.

Zabu Zabu offers a unique dining experience with a variety of fresh and creative dishes. While the all-you-can-eat option may be pricey and the sushi isn't the standout, the small dishes such as mussels are excellent. The service is attentive and friendly. The restaurant is great for trying shabu shabu, with large portions and a fun atmosphere. The outdoor seating is enjoyable, with tasty starters and main courses like pork chop and duck. Although the cherry compote and lack of liquor license are minor downsides, Zabu Zabu provides a pleasant dining experience overall.

Excellent food and service, if a tad too expensive. The restaurant is in a strange location but the venue itself is very nice as well.

All-you-can-eat is a pretty good deal. Extremely friendly and caring owners. They even gave me chocolates for valentines day!

The inside is very nice and hidden from the main street so it's not too loud. It's a nice place to eat outside in the winter because they have heaters so it's c...
