Here in Northeast Ohio, locals enjoy a selection of dining options that’s truly stellar. Whatever you choose, it’s sure to be delicious… but everyone knows that eating out is all about finding a killer ambiance. At Ushabu, you’ll enjoy a delicious meal that’s more than a meal – it’s an experience. Prepare your taste buds for the yummiest hot pot restaurant in Cleveland.
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Ushabu as we know it has closed its doors. It now operates as Bar Oni, a sportsbar that still specializes in shabu-shabu. Check it out, and don’t forget to swing by Sichuan Hot Pot in Cleveland’s AsiaTown for more ethnic dining experiences.
Tremont is a foodie paradise, and it recent years it has introduced an up-and-coming trend: hot pot dining.
Hot pot is an Asian style of cooking that's all the rage in culinary-minded cities. It involves preparing dishes in a hot pot of broth or soup stock right at the dining table.
At Ushabu, this delicious dining style is combined with omakase-style dining for an unforgettable experience.
Omakese is a Japanese word that roughly translates to "chef's choice." It encourages diners to entrust their taste buds to the skillfulness of the chef, which results in delicious dishes like sushi and teriyaki specials.

The small dishes here make this the perfect place to try something new.
Mix and match small plates featuring delicacies like Japanese-style fried duck, kimchi, and even Wagyu bone marrow. Your taste buds will love the vast sampling you can choose from, and you are sure to fall in love with at least one delicacy.
Everyone knows and loves sushi, but what is tsukemen? Tsukemen is a unique hot pot experience. It involves delicious ramen that is dipped in broth for an overwhelmingly yummy experience.
...And it also offers shabu shabu that's out of this world.
What is shabu shabu? This is a nabemono hot pot dish that features veggies and meats boiled in water (shabu shabu is a nod to the sizzling sound they make when served).
Both styles of dining offer your choice of broth and protein, so you can truly customize your meal to your preferences.
