Tadaima Shabu Shabu

This place is seriously amazing. This would be the first restaurant I would recommend to anyone who asked me for Reno recs. It’s absolutely delicious, the service is amazing, and the price point is reasonable. I took my boyfriend for his birthday dinner, and we received amazing service! Yumi walked us through everything, let us sample the chicken meatballs, and gave us two pieces of cheesecake for his birthday! The food and dessert was great quality and the sauces they make in house were great. The food is super healthy including the desserts which are low cal. They also make udon soup for you take home with your leftovers! The location is also super cool. We will definitely be returning in the near future. Do not skip dessert because the cheesecakes are phenomenal!! We recommend the matcha 😊

Thank you for an amazing birthday lunch! Everything was amazing. Meat was great quality and I love that they stuck to traditional style with a little of their own touch. Great service and overall had an amazing time and my belly was happy 😊

I cannot recommend Tadaima Shabu Shabu highly enough. We’ve been waiting for a real Shabu Shabu experience here in Reno, and WOW did this place deliver! From the moment we sat down, the experience felt personal, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in tradition. The owners themselves were part of the meal from start to finish. They didn’t just serve us shabu shabu, they taught us how to enjoy it in a warm and story-filled way that honored both the history and the joy of the practice. It felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. The service was truly above and beyond. Attentive without ever being intrusive, present throughout the meal, and clearly passionate about what they do. We shared many laughs. Every ingredient was fresh and beautifully prepared. The vegetables were vibrant and crisp, and the Wagyu beef was unreal, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Prepared shabu shabu style, you appreciate the flavor and quality even more. It was one of those “pause and savor each bite” kind of meals. A delightful surprise came at the end of the meal. The owner came to the table, gathered our broth and ingredients, and turned the remaining flavors into a traditional soup for us to take home! It was so thoughtful, and honestly a whole bonus meal at no extra cost. That alone would have been enough to set this place apart. But I have to talk about dessert. I love dessert, and I am very picky. We ordered the passionfruit cheesecake and it might be the best cheesecake I have tasted in my life. Bright, silky, balanced, and memorable. I actually plan to purchase an entire one to bring to Thanksgiving because it was that exceptional. They told us all about the local baker they work with and how he designed this cheesecake for their specific dining experience. This is not just a restaurant, it is a full experience. One filled with care, culture, flavor, and heart. Highly, highly recommend you check out Tadaima Shabu Shabu. It is a gem and we are already planning our next visit!
