Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into a sea of flavor, San Diego! Our favorite hot pot haven, Shabu-Works, is bringing its simmering goodness to San Marcos. We’re already dreaming about the steamy broth, premium meats, and that oh-so-satisfying swish of veggies in the pot.

Shabu-Works San Marcos

From Broth to Bingsu: A Culinary Adventure Awaits

At Shabu-Works, we’re not just talking about dinner—we’re talking about an experience. Imagine yourself seated at your table, a steaming pot of broth bubbling away in front of you.

Will you go for the rich Tonkatsu Pork Bone or spice things up with the Sichuan Ma-La? The choice is yours, and that’s just the beginning.

Next up, it’s protein paradise. We’re talking Wagyu beef to die for, New Zealand lamb that’s traveled further than most of us this year, and pork belly that’s, well, everything we’ve ever wanted in life.

And let’s not forget the seafood—fresh crab, plump shrimp, and mussels that taste like they’ve just been plucked from the ocean.

Shabu-Works isn’t just about the hot pot. They’re serving up some serious side action with Teriyaki Chicken, Japanese Curry, and Fried Rice that’ll have you wondering why you ever bothered with boring old steamed rice.

And just when you think you can’t possibly eat another bite, the Bingsu Snow Bar appears like a frosty mirage. You’ll definitely want to save room for this treat.

Wallet-Friendly Feasting: Because Good Food Shouldn’t Break the Bank

In a world where a cup of coffee can cost as much as a small car, Shabu-Works San Marcos is keeping it real with prices that’ll make your wallet as happy as your stomach. Weekday lunch will set you back just $27.95, while the weekend feast is $37.95.

And if you’ve got mini-foodies in tow, kids’ prices start at a mere $8.99. Oh, and did we mention you eat free on your birthday? Time to start planning that party!

The Brains Behind the Broth

This isn’t just another chain restaurant. Shabu-Works is the brainchild of local bros Peter Yang and Mike Wu.

These guys have worked their way up from dishwashers to restaurant royalty, with Peter making Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list and Mike being named one of the nation’s top 25 executives by Fast Casual Magazine. Talk about a power duo!
