About the Menu

The menu at Tabu Shabu Costa Mesa offers a relaxed and engaging dining experience centered around authentic shabu-shabu and thoughtfully prepared hot pot dishes. It’s designed for sharing, whether you’re gathering with friends or enjoying a quiet meal at the patio. The selection features a range of fresh proteins like prime short rib, jidori chicken, and reserve Angus ribeye, alongside fresh vegetables and comforting sides such as miso soup and rice porridge.

Ideal for casual lunches, lively dinners, or a weekend treat, the dishes invite diners to slow down and enjoy the communal ritual of cooking together at the table. The approachable broths, including spicy miso and tom yum, bring a warm, layered flavor that complements the fresh ingredients and dipping sauces perfectly. Beyond hot pot, options like spicy salmon don and steamed dumplings add variety for those seeking lighter bites or additional textures.

To accompany the meal, Tabu Shabu offers a thoughtful sake list that matches the subtle yet complex flavors of the food, making it easy to enjoy a calm, well-rounded experience.
