Lu Wei Shabu Shabu – Oyster Bar

Went here for dinner on a friday night, I’ve been craving for shabu shabu and checked Unilocal for any recommendations near me and saw the reviews not a lot but they’re all good reviews. bougt a coupon from
when we got there no one’s even around, the place is empty. We both ordered our own sets we got the mixed sea food. The waitress doesn’t speak much english but she is very friendly, we’re halfway through our meal (which are all frozen seafood) and we asked her where the noodles and the vegetable cause the menu says it comes with it, she was pointing that we have to order on the different page of the menu, but i pointed out that the set comes with it, i’ve only had one shabu shabu before this and it was in Elmhurst it came with a lot of vegetables and noodles. What we got from here is a few pieces of chinese cabbage, a tiny portion of a corn, 2 pcs of fish balls, 3 tofus, few mushrooms, and noodles that’s not even enough for one. Since this is an oyster bar we ordered oysters, what we wanted was fresh oysters but what she gave us are oysters that’s for the shabu shabu. There is only one person working around the place, when we were about to pay i gave her the coupon, and another lady came to whom the server gave the coupon to, it took them awhile to get back to us. i don’t know why they started arguing, but I’m not planning on returning again. The bill came to $ 44, with the coupon we have to pay $ 29. Still not worth it I rather pay regular price anytime on other restaurants. The food wasn’t that bad, but I was hoping for a better service and bigger portions since the price is on the higher side, should have eaten to other places near this that have more reliable reviews.

Very nice place.
Server auntie have the best attitude in flushing so far.
Their soup is Not just some MSG + chicken soup powder. I have allergy on msg, I get sick every time I had a hot pot.
Surprisingly this place didn’t not give me that sickness.
I would defiantly come back soon.
Also, the meat they served here is lit!
Love it

my favorite place to visit late at night! Open til 3. Their Taiwanese sausage and beef noodle soup is amazing!!! Love love love their staff, very friendly and treats me like family after I’ve been here a few times!

Very nice place with reasonable price and good service, highly recommend the fishcake and curry base shop.
