Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House | Santa Clara

Best A5 wagyu hotpot in the bay. I recommend you to choose gold package. Since it’s better than Silver, and it is still get all good part from platinum. Sea food is high class as well, but I like beef more. Only two small problems. 1. 90 min is a little bit rush for $$$ dinning experience. 2. The stove under the table is huge, so no room for leg, which will affect your seating position.

It’s our first time coming here, and I think I’ve found my new favorite restaurant! The quality of the meat and seafood were amazing, even if you just get the silver set. For everything you get, the price is super reasonable. Our waiter’s name was Derek, and he was quick, efficient, and friendly! Thanks for a great first experience. Definitely will be back again.

Top tier AYCE hot pot, high quality ingredients + amazing service, can't ask for much more. It was our first time at Mikiya, our server gave us a quick run down of the menu. We opted for the gold tier, which I thought was well worth the price. Make sure to get on the yelp waitlist early, I joined the waitlist for a party of 4 around 6:15 PM on a Saturday and got in around 7:45 PM. The hotpot is shared with the table, we went with the House Broth and Spicy Miso. The house broth was very light, with a subtle flavor. The spicy miso, was also very light, not as spicy as I expected. Which made me remember that it was Shabu Shabu, which traditionally the broth is on the lighter side, to let you focus and appreciate the quality of ingredients plus you also have dipping sauce. Over time the broth developed more rich and savory flavors as we cooked the meat, seafood, and veggies in it. The sauces and cold side dishes are self serve near the back. All the veggies were very fresh. They also have a self serve drinks, with milk tea, passion juice, guava juice, soda bar, etc. The milk tea was pretty good, had a strong tea flavor, not a lot of sugar either, which I liked. For the first round, we ordered all the special items that were one per person and the seafood platter. The meat were tender, dipped in the sauce, just amazing. The seafood was so fresh, I was a bit surprised. My favorite were the snow crabs, it was sweet and salty. I asked the server if I needed to cook it some more he recommended to be safe cook it for 2 mins. But, I would recommend 30 seconds, as the crab was already cooked After 30 seconds the texture starts to degrade. (It is plated with other raw seafood so there is a chance to get sick if not cooked thoroughly, eat at your own risk). For the all you can eat meat, my favorites were the A5 Wagyu brisket and the Australian Wagyu Chuck Ribeye. The Australian Wagyu shoulder cut was pretty gamey, it was fine for me, but everyone else on the table did not like it. Overall amazing experience, everything was top notch. It is a bit on the pricy side, but is well worth the price. I would definitely recommend to any hot pot lovers.

This is a restaurant we consider a once-a-year treat due to its relatively high price point. This was our second visit, and the restaurant offers three pricing tiers. Since we’re not big fans of seafood, we opted for the middle-tier option. I recommend ordering the meat slices gradually, as the non-frozen cuts tend to break apart easily due to how thinly they’re sliced. This slightly affects the texture, but the overall quality of the meat is excellent—tender, rich in marbling, and a true delight for Wagyu enthusiasts. The side dishes are self-serve and can be replenished as needed, though the selection is somewhat limited. One thing to note: if you visit during winter, the all-you-can-eat Häagen-Dazs option might not be available. Unfortunately, it wasn’t offered this time, unlike our last visit, which was a slight disappointment. Overall, this is a high-end restaurant worth visiting occasionally to indulge yourself, and it’s definitely an experience to savor.

This place was packed for lunch at 11:40am on a weekday! Luckily we made reservation online and highly recommend you do the same too to avoid the wait. When you turn into the plaza, turn right immediately when you see Subway and L&L Hawaiian. Mikiya is tucked in the corner behind those two stores and it’s not easily spotted right away. Parkings were a bit tricky in front of the restaurant but there are ample free parkings available everywhere else in the plaza. You may need to walk but it is just 2-3 minutes of walking away. Immediately when I stepped inside, I was welcomed with a heartwarming fragrance of delicious hot pot and high quality meats. Both my friend and I acclaimed “It smells SUPER AMAZING in here!!!” A friendly server greeted us, quickly checked us in and led us to our spacious booth. On our way, we took a peek at the meat display area and the beverage station and were super impressed with how clean, neat and nice this place was. Within 10 minutes of being seated down, another server joined us and meticulously explained how it worked for us: 1. Basically there are 3 levels: silver, gold, and diamond levels, starting from $48 to $68 to $88, respectively. We picked the silver level and we had so much food that we could barely breathe afterwards. 2. You can order 2 meat dish per person each time. We enjoyed the Wagyu brisket the best and had the second order of it. 3. One dish per person from the specialty dishes. We opted for the wagyu bone marrow and wagyu nigiri. Those were both delicious though the bone marrow were a bit too garlicky for my taste. 4. Unlimited other dishes. We ordered sweet potato fries, tempura, fried chickens, and mini bun with condensed milk. All was tasty! After you ordered, feel free to explore the beverage, sauce and rice, and side dish stations. We were like kids in a candy store! We were over the moon the see milk tea option here and it was actually really nice! Veggie and side dish station was well stocked with fresh veggies. I love that they have the tong ho veggies. Our food arrived FAST! Time to DIG IN!! Honestly, I used to think this place was overrated as most of the highly rated places that I’ve been to recently. I loved how it proved me wrong. I was impressed with the meat quality, the way they presented their meat dishes. We have 1/2 house soup and 1/2 tomato soup for the hotpot and they were both equally tasty. My friend kept commented that now she understood why this place was crowded on a weekday for lunch. We ended our food adventure with delicious ice cream. Today they have the black sesame and strawberry flavors. The strawberry ice cream was super fresh while the black sesame was invitingly yummy. Overall, very pleasant experience. Nice ambience, great service and wonderful food. What more can you ask for? I’ll definitely come back and take my family here to try as well.

A few friends recommended this place and this restaurant did not disappoint. It’s a no brainer to order the diamond option and it was well worth it. Quick service and good quality food. The only negative thing about the experience is that the floors are really slippery, so be careful on your trips back and forth to your table.

Great service from Sara and food was pretty good. If you come at opening, it was only less than 15 minutes wait. Sara did an excellent job on differentiating each Tier. She was also great in coming by and placing reorders. She was really attentive and was seriously so on it! So broth wasn't that great, not much flavor. We got Spicy Miso and House. Not really spicy either. After you eat the variety of meats, they all start tasting the same. The oyster was not good, probably the ones from the jar. You can definitely get your money's worth with the Gold Tier for $78. Diamond would only be worth it if you can really eat A LOTTT. But then again, you have only 90 minutes and they are pretty on it for the timing. They'll give you last call about 20-30 minutes. Love that drinks and dessert are also unlimited. The Milk Tea Bar wasn't available but they had Assam Milk Tea Dispenser on the side. Overall service definitely was top notch and was better than the food itself!

AYCE Wagyu Japanese A5 Yes please... I was excited to learn Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House was coming to Santa Clara, I believe they are a chain that started in So Cal. I tried dining here before, when they first opened. The wait was ridiculous. I was quoted 2 hours, but in reality it turned out to be around 3.5 hours..so that didn't happen. They hype had died down a bit now, making reservations and wait times more reasonable. I most definitely recommend checking out Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House if you get a chance. The quality of meats is very evident. The venue is bigger than it looks from the outside. There is also outdoor seating as well. I'm sure it works well int he warmer months. The parking lot is not the greatest. The main parking out in front fills up fast and the plaza has several other businesses, so parking is a bit challenging during peak hours. The service was excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful, no issues, service on point. All the meats were excellent, just as expected. We could taste the difference in quality and textures. The Broths were excellent as well. #WagyuEats: ~ SEAFOOD PLATTER - 5/5 A must order for Seafood lovers. A little bit of everything. This in itself is a lot of food. ~ SNACKS: FRY MINI BUN - 4/5 Just to be clear...this is dessert. It's sweet, not savory. Order this towards the end of your meal ~ WAGYU TARTARE - 1/5 Hard PASS on this one! It was the WORST Beef Tartare I ever had. They might had an off day on this one. Part of it was so cold it felt like was still partly frozen. Also the Beef was in chopped up cubes. Should call this Raw Beef Cube bowl, as this was NOT Beef Tartare. ~ SWEET SHRIMP SASHIMI - 3.5/5 They give you the whole shrimp...I thought it was a bit odd, that the heads weren't fried or taken off... ~ WAGYU BONE MARROW - 4/5 A solid Bone Marrow dish, fatty and flavorful, just as it should be. ~ COLD SIDES: - SEAWEED SALAD - 5/5 Perfect seaweed salad. Simple and refreshing. - SPICY CLAM - 5/5 I don't know what's in here... the flavor is brilliant. Savory delicious clams. - TAKO - 5/5 Marinated in Wasabi (probably Horseradish) Still delicious! Can't forget the desserts, that is if you still have room. There is also Soft Serve and Juice available as well. #Dessert: ~ Ice Cream: Matcha - 3/5 This was OK. I had better Matcha Ice Cream before. ~ Ube - 4/5 Sold Ube flavor. ~ Black Sesame - 4.5/5 Probably some of the best Black Sesame Ice Cream I had. ~ Mango - 2/5 Not very good, tasted funny or artificial. Can't wait to return...
