Garden Shabu/Hot Pot & Grill

I think this is the best hotpot restaurant in Northern New Jersey. The space is large, and they offer a wide variety of food, including desserts. It seems to have the most diverse selection of dishes. The staff are friendly, and because there are many customers (which keeps the food turnover high), the vegetables and meats are always fresh. If you're looking for hotpot in Northern New Jersey, I highly recommend this place. *I'm not sure if they have a vegetable-based broth, but if they do, this would be a great option for vegetarians.

Amazing hot pot place. HUGE selection of things to put in. And it's all delicious! Loved the fatty and non fatty beef especially. The pork ribs off the grill menu is really good but takes a while to come out, so order it early.

I have never been to a Korean hot pot place before, but I had a good experience here. The service was good and the place was huge. They have a massive variety of veggies, meats, foods to pick from. The meat quality was underwhelming. I had a good Time here. I love how they have matcha soft serve and a Bingsu option for dessert. I love the sauce bar too. I highly recommend the person that would come back.

After trying a few of the hot pot restaurants in the northern NJ area, this is my favorite. They have a very diverse offering and their prices are very reasonable. The area is clean, the staff is friendly and quick to respond, and the food stations are well stocked. I normally come here for buffet only and I'm pretty satisfied but if you want seafood and meat, it's not that much more expensive. For dinner, they also offer grilled meats. The ingredients are always very fresh and the kimchi station is a huge plus. We always end the meal with some shaved ice and green tea soft serve, which is included.

The vegetables and meat were super fresh and the servers are really kind. There are many ways to customize your hotpot as they have many sauces, vegetables, meats, etc.

Everyone was great as soon as we walked in. For the price we paid the meal and the experience was very worth it. Took my husband as a surprise. He has always wanted to go to a hot pot. Our only complaint was as soon as we sat down the waiter wanted our order and we weren't sure how everything worked but another waiter came to the table and explained the entire menu. Everything was so clean and fresh. So many choices and everything was flavorful and piping hot broth. Loved it!

This is my favorite hot pot place in the area. It has a great variety of vegetables, sides dishes, fish balls, noodles, dumplings, etc. it even has a self station for shave ices, soft serve and Korean dessert! The price is very reasonable for the choices. I always left there feeling stuffed.
