    ShabuShabu GEN was a great experience all around! The ambiance was cozy, the staff was super friendly and helpful and the food was next level delicious. Sanjida and Ivy were wonderful as they guided us through how to cook and enjoy the meal. ShabuShabu GEN is admittedly a little pricey but it's worth every penny! Don't skip the Japanese wagyu!
