In need of shabu shabu meat

Does anyone know which Korean market in Koreatown has the best quality shabu shabu meat?

    All meats can be used for Shabu Shabu. Just go to a good butcher with a selection of quality meats and ask them to slice it very very very thin.

      To slice it thin like they do for shabu shabu the meat is partially frozen.

        does it have to be in Korea town? There is a korean market in little tokyo 3rd and alameda. They have good quality meat. Plenty of parking with validation.

          Formerly Mitsuwa Market and the whole complex was bought by Koreans, first it was called Little Tokyo Market Place, now it's called Woori Market.
