Shabu TimeA-

171 Jackson St, San Jose, CA 95112 · Shabu-shabu restaurant · Japantown

Solid shabu-shabu with flavorful broths and good meat quality; cozy but can be loud and crowded, with pricing on the higher side for portions.

Why this grade

Shabu Time delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional broth quality and fresh ingredients paired with attentive, friendly service. Reliable execution across repeat visits supports the grade, though tight seating during peak hours and occasional pricing friction prevent higher standing. A competitive neighborhood hot pot destination that exceeds typical restaurant standards in the area.

One caveat: Noise and tight seating during peak periods can hinder conversation
