🍲🥩 @king_plus_shabu_shabu in Redondo Beach is so much more than just hot pot!
This restaurant review took us on an incredible Japanese dining experience from start to finish. We kicked off the evening on the outdoor patio with the bar menu before heading inside for an unforgettable premium shabu shabu feast.
We started with the House Poke Salad, crispy Pan-Fried Pork Gyoza, perfectly seasoned Edamame, Grilled Jumbo Scallop Skewers, Grilled Shrimp Skewers, and flavorful Wagyu Ribeye Yakitori. Every bite was fresh, smoky, and packed with flavor.
To sip, I enjoyed the refreshing Lychee Mocktail, while we experienced King Plus’s 5 Sake Flight—a journey through five specially selected Japanese sakes, each offering its own unique flavor profile.
Then it was time for the main event! We cooked everything tableside in four delicious broths:
🍃 Kombu – Traditional Japanese kelp broth that’s light, clean, and delicate.
🍜 Tonkotsu – Rich, creamy pork bone broth full of savory flavor.
🌶️ Spicy Miso – Savory miso broth with a gentle kick.
🥢 Sukiyaki – Sweet and savory soy-based broth.
For our proteins, we enjoyed the Royal Seafood Set, featuring shrimp, Atlantic salmon, fresh scallops, fish balls, and the chef’s curated seafood selection. We also tried the Royal Beef Experience with premium Ribeye, Chuck Roll, and Beef Belly.
The highlight of the evening was the Japanese A5 Miyazaki Wagyu. It was beautifully marbled, incredibly tender, and practically melted in our mouths after just a few seconds in the broth. It was easily one of the best bites of the night and a must-order if you’re visiting.
We also sipped on the refreshing Yuzu Pop Sparkler, made with yuzu sake and citrus for a bright, crisp finish.
To end the meal, we treated ourselves to Matcha Ice Cream and Matcha Cheesecake, the perfect sweet ending to an amazing dining experience.
