Best shabu shabu or Chinese hot pot in SF proper?

Looking to go out for shabu shabu or hot pot (could be Japanese or Chinese or other DIY Asian hotpot). Any recommendations, limited to the city of SF?

Currently I'm thinking of trying out Nabe in the Inner Sunset, so if people have any advice about that place, that would be great! But other suggestions would be welcome too. Are there any Chinese hot pot places that are big favorites? Probably would be looking for non-spicy options, but maybe some Sichuan places would work? Or Old Mandarin Islamic?

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks again everyone for the suggestions....we were planning to go to Shabu House, but we ended up not going out at all the other night (and instead cooked at home). But this will be useful next time I want shabu shabu!

      Nabe in the Inner Sunset is pretty decent. I've been once and would go back again to satisfy the urge.

        Shabu House is pretty good. I like the quality of their meat. There are locations on Geary, Clement and Ocean.

            +1 for Shabu House. Still the best meat I've had.

          Old Mandarin Islamic. Get the optional leek flower sauce.
