We walked in on December 31st around 5 PM without a reservation, so we only had an hour to dine before the next party arrived. Despite the time constraint, the experience was impressive. The service was exceptional—our server was attentive and quick to check in as soon as we ran out of meat, ensuring we could order more without delay. The staff’s friendliness added to the positive atmosphere. The food quality was outstanding, particularly the premium cuts of meat, which justify the slightly higher price compared to other shabu-shabu spots. The selection of vegetables was also excellent, offering plenty of variety to complement the meal. The only downside was that the ice machine was out of ice whenever we went to use it, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, we had a great time and left satisfied, even with the limited time to enjoy our meal. We’ll definitely be returning and look forward to a longer visit next time!

So we made a reservation for Saturday night, and everything felt familiar, just like the other location we have been to. Service is Solid. Unlimited drinks for a small fee? Worth it. But let’s talk about the food...udon salad is a must. Something about that texture and flavor just hits right. And don’t sleep on the curry with rice, either. Meat quality is on point. Spicy tomato miso broth? That’s the one. Perfect spot to settle in.

Today was our first time at this restaurant and it was FANTASTIC! The food was great! Everything was simple and quick! Very clean place and a pleasant environment. The service was AWESOME! Our server Janelle was above and beyond. She was very kind, and attentive, and she made sure we were well taken care of. We are coming back soon for sure.

Food was good, not great. Service could be little faster, but overall better than most places. I live in LA close to Hollywood, worth driving all the way to torrance for this? Probably once in a while.

My favorite Japanese buffet in the US! They serve quality meat and the buffet price is reasonable. The vegetable and rice station is so clean. You can pick whatever you want to add to your shabu shabu. And if you pay an additional you can get a refill drink too. The drink station was my favorite one since they got the bubble tea and crystal boba as well. It's unlike those boring soda fountain drinks but much more interesting to try. The sauce was good and the meat was so great and fresh as you can see in the pic. The side dish like Japanese curry tastes so good too. The servers are very nice and friendly. Every time I came back it never disappointed me so I keep coming back here whenever I come back to LA

MoMo Paradise is a great place to come to for an authentic Shabu dinner. There was a bit of a wait for us to be seated but it is completely understandable. The restaurant isn't very big and can only hold up to 98 in max capacity. Once seated, we ordered the spicy miso and the sukiyaki broth, followed by two of each in the beef options. We made sure to order of the MoMo menu as it was our first time there. Overall, it was a very delicious and filling meal. We all left more than satisfied and were happy to say that it greatly exceeded our expectations. I cannot say anything really stood out to me more than other menu items, but my friends really enjoyed the curry rice from the self-serve bar. Also the sodas they have at the dispenser are good too, with melon being the standout. About halfway through the meal. We were able to switch up the broths and try new ones. We only made it to round two before tapping out and ordering some ice cream for desert. What I like about the ice cream they gave us was that they only give you one scoop which is just the right amount after having such a hearty meal. One other thing I liked about this place was how friendly the workers were. They took their time explaining everything to us and made sure to answer all of our questions. They also constantly checked up on us to make sure we had everything we needed! Thanks alot guys. The restaurants itself was also really clean and I liked the lo-fi beats playing in the background while we ate. Truly a chill vibe to go with a fantastic meal.
