Ichi Shabu

Ichi Shabu – Campus Pointe (Shaw & Chestnut) Ichi Shabu is a newly opened hotpot restaurant offering premium meat and seafood selections with a modern, upscale vibe and a variety of flavorful broths. Our server Diose did a great job introducing the concept and recommending dishes, making the dining experience both smooth and enjoyable. 🍲 Dish Breakdown 📸 Overall Hotpot Setup Each guest gets an individual pot with their own broth, and the whole setup feels elegant and high-end, far fancier than a typical shabu-shabu or hotpot place. The lighting, plating, and presentation all elevate the experience. 🥩 Lamb Slices Beautifully marbled and thinly sliced, the lamb cooks quickly and stays tender with no gamey taste. The quality is top-tier and one of the freshest cuts I’ve seen in Fresno’s hotpot scene. 🐚 Abalone Served on ice with an orchid garnish — stunning presentation. The abalone adds a touch of luxury, fresh and chewy in texture, and pairs wonderfully with the savory broths. 🍖 Chizu Pork Katsu (Appetizer) A pleasant surprise! Crispy outside with cheesy, melty interior — great contrast in texture and flavor. A must-try before diving into the hotpot. 🍰 Yuzu Cheesecake Light and citrusy with a hint of yuzu aroma. While the texture is smooth, it’s a bit monotone in flavor, but still a nice way to end the meal. ⭐ Ratings • Tastiness: 8.5 / 10 • Price Appropriateness: 8 / 10 • Portion Size: 7.5 / 10 • Overall Experience: 8 / 10 🥢 Final Thoughts Ichi Shabu stands out with its quality ingredients, refined setup, and attentive service. The overall experience feels more upscale and polished than most hotpot spots — perfect for those who want to enjoy shabu-shabu with a premium twist.

We had a great experience. The service was friendly. We had a reservation and had minimal wait time. My husband and I got the peach and melon green tea refresher which came with unlimited refills. Both were great and they even gave us a fresh refill cup to go. For appetizers we got the chizu pork katsu amd the nikku omurice. Both were great and very filling. We opted to get the shabu shabu set menu for two and chose the four protein option. They had a special and gave us an extra plate of sirloin. We chose another plate of sirloin, 2 portions of pork and 1 plate of lamb. There was way too much food and we could not finish it. They bagged us the rest of the food to go. Overall a great meal and we will be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just tried this new shabu spot in Fresno and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and high quality — you can really tell they put care into every detail. I went with the lunch shabu set with a premium cut and an extra side protein, and everything was delicious and perfectly portioned. My husband ordered the Hayashi set, and the cut of meat was also amazing — tender, flavorful, and cooked beautifully in the broth. What really made the experience stand out was our server Robby. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, helping us navigate the menu and making great recommendations. He explained the options clearly and made the whole shabu experience feel easy and enjoyable. The service was truly top-tier. Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service all around. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Fresno looking for a quality shabu experience — we’ll definitely be back!
