Amazing experience. We enjoyed the food and great service. We’ll be back with more friends.

We celebrated a friend’s birthday and had a wonderful experience from the moment we sat down! Thanks Jorge and team for making this such a special birthday! We especially enjoyed the local mushrooms and the granita.

An expensive meal, but the food and experience are super worth it. I had the vegetarian set menu at $65 which came with plenty of food from dumplings, tofu, loads of vegetables. What is really nice about the hot pot is everyone has their own, so i could have a veggie broth whilst my husband could have meat. Service was super attentive, but kind and friendly. We booked about a week before for a Thursday reservation.

Awesome that they have 3 vegan broths and a vegan omakase. There are plenty of options. Service and drinks are excellent and so is the decor.

We went here for our wedding anniversary last night and we're really excited to try a new restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the staff was so sweet! They wished us a happy anniversary and brought us complimentary sake. Our waitress, Amanda, was very helpful explaining the menu and vegetarian options. The food was out of this world and we had so much variety with the vegetarian Omakase - eggplant, fresh veggies to cook in the hot pot, brussel sprouts, fried tofu, steamed bun, etc. I was so obsessed with the dips and rice - I could've just eaten that! Despite a delicious meal, we unfortunately sat next to some very obnoxious, vulgar folks who made it really challenging to enjoy our meal or even talk to each other. I ended up getting pretty upset, even to the point of crying, and all of their staff was so kind, empathetic, and apologetic (although it certainly wasn't their fault). The manager, a super sweet person with pink hair, even came and sat next to me to check on me and see if there was anything they could do for us. If the food was 5 stars, the staff is 1,000 stars! Thanks for going above and beyond for a complete stranger.

Service was great and the waitstaff was really nice and helpful. I’m not really a food snob, but the food/meat was extremely overpriced for what you get, IMHO. I guess it’s like Japanese hotpot but with Americanized twists to a lot of the menu ¯_ (ツ) _/¯

Everything was beautiful, thought out and Delicious. It's a wonderful new experience. I can't remember the last time I went to a place and thought I can't wait to come back.maybe tomorrow?

Very close attention to detail, beautiful unique decor, and really friendly staff. It was a fun, innovative hot pot experience. Felt like I was in Japan. Prices are very high though if you do omakase and the specialty dips. Gyoza and tofu pockets were just fine. We probably could’ve done without the specialty dips as the omakase comes with standard ones. The cheese amuse bouche and shaved ice were also unexpected, delicious touches.

Absolutely fantastic. Came here once before and but most recently for my anniversary and they were amazing. Would definitely recommend for anyone anytime they want to celebrate a special event or warm up on a cold and cozy day

We enjoy our wonderful dinner at DipDipDip, where we discovered a new take on the Japanese shabu shabu, from the team that brought us Ramen Tatsu-ya, Kemuri Tatsu-ya, Tiki Tatsu-ya, and Domo Alley-Gato. Felt like we were back in Japan again.

Shannon was the wait staff and she made the experience wonderful, a courteous wealth of knowledge and a genuine hood vibe.
The food was amazing and the ambience too. My favorite of the tatsuya group so far!

What a great experience. The athletics were so nice and the food was so so good! The service was great, I am so happy we chose to come here for our anniversary dinner!

Gotta say.this is our spot. Food is great. Not too expensive for the experience, atmosphere, and service you get. Love the treat at the beginning and end. It's never too crowded. They play great music but quiet enough to have a conversation. My wife go there a lot and we can tell the servers we're regulars so we don't go through all the instruction. Love the variety of things you can cook and play with sauces, proteins and veggies. It's such a unique experience.that we seem to have every other week!

When my wife and I entered the elegant space of Dip Dip Dip Tatsuya for my special birthday celebration, the first thing that struck us was the atmosphere—like stepping into a separate world of romance and culinary wonder. The intricate Japanese decor was perfectly complemented by soft, ambient lighting that seemed designed to make the evening feel like a dream.

In this dream, our table was a marvel of modern culinary technology. Each table features an inset hot plate, ingeniously integrated right into the tabletop. These aren’t just hot plates; they’re gateways to a bespoke culinary experience. With fine-tuned temperature controls, they allowed us to heat our ozen—the special pot used in Shabu Shabu—to our exact preferences. Whether we wanted to follow the chef’s recommended settings or blaze our own culinary trail, the choice was ours. It elevated our understanding of Shabu Shabu, the unique Japanese hotpot cuisine whose name delightfully mimics the sound of ingredients being swished in the pot, into something uniquely tailored to each diner.

Then came the broths—those glorious foundations of the Shabu Shabu experience. The Tonkotsu broth, which I chose, was a masterpiece. Every sip carried the weight of its 50-hour simmering time, infusing the rich, succulent flavors of pork bone into every molecule of the liquid. My wife’s choice, the Miso Smokey, was a heady blend of spices with a smoky undertone, providing a multi-layered canvas on which the rest of our meal would be painted.

The sauces were, without a doubt, stars in their own right. Each sauce was a delicately crafted piece of art, but the Miso Yuzu Hollandaise stood out for me. The velvety texture of the egg yolk combined effortlessly with the tanginess of miso and the subtle kick of chive. It took what could have been a simple dip and transformed it into an unforgettable experience, making each bite of our carefully cooked ingredients a mosaic of flavors and sensations.

Our choices for the main course were nothing short of culinary masterpieces. The Gyu Maki, featuring a slice of dry-aged NY strip steak, daikon radish, and Foie Gras, was a symphony of taste and texture. The steak was tender, the daikon provided a slight crunch, and the Foie Gras melted in the mouth like a dollop of luxurious, fatty heaven. Not to be outdone, the sui gyoza was a delectable bite-sized package of blue crab encased in a soft dough pocket, given an extra layer of flair with a finishing touch of lemon butter sauce.

For those overwhelmed by the choices or simply wanting to put themselves in the hands of experts, there’s the Omakase option. This chef-curated selection takes you on a grand tour of the menu’s most splendid offerings, requiring nothing from you but an open mind and an eager palate.

The service was the thread that wove all these elements together into a seamless tapestry. Our servers were more than just attentive; they were guides on this culinary journey. Their expertise was not just professional but almost educational. They offered nuanced tips on how to get the most out of our Shabu Shabu experience, enriching not just our meal but also our understanding of this cherished Japanese culinary tradition.

To encapsulate, my birthday evening at Dip Dip Dip Tatsuya transcended the usual dining experience. It was a magnificent synthesis of culinary artistry, technological ingenuity, and deeply enriching service, all wrapped up in a blanket of romantic ambiance. This was not just a meal; it was a personalized voyage through the subtleties and delights of Shabu Shabu—a feast not just for the body, but also for the soul and mind. It was an irreplaceable chapter in the ongoing love story between my wife and me, a shared adventure that will be recounted with joy and fondness for years to come.

Went here tonight for the first time and it was such a great experience! All of the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the tatsu-ya omakase - so good 10/10 - my favorite dish was the gyu maki, do not leave without getting 1 or 52 of those!

Food was amazing, sure. Bottom line is, I spent $183 for my girlfriend and I to eat here, and both of us were still notably hungry after leaving. So much so that we actually had to stop and eat more on the way home. 2 firsts that occurred here: I’ve never ever spent this much on a 2-person dinner in my life, new record. And, I’ve never left a restaurant before after eating a meal there and felt the need to stop somewhere and get more food on the way home. I’m extremely disappointed considering how much I spent.

I came here never having tried hot pot and the experience was amazing! The food was beautifully presented and fresh as can be. Being that I hadn’t had hot pot before, I had a bunch of questions that Henry (our server) answered with patience and ease. Highly recommend this place for a date night or taking work colleagues out for a nice Dinner. It’s fun and interactive and intimate enough that you’re still able hear everyone at the table.
