Extra chashu and a whole egg float at the base of this large bowl of ramen, and in the center there is a generous portion of mixed steamed vegetables. Topping the entire bowl off is a large pinch of our fried burdock root, a labor of love that adds a textural contrast and an earthy flavor to the soup. The burdock is piled in a way that is representative of the volcano on Kagoshima which is still active to this day.Shimuja is known for its cozy atmosphere, selected by SunSentinel Travel & Life as one of the 18th best dishes in all of South Florida.

    The crab cakes, chile salmon entree, and chocolate cake were all delicious! The salmon entree was a bit pricey at $37 though. Other than that, everything was great!

    My experience at the Melting Pot (Cooper City) was really good. I go every year to celebrate by birthday and and every year when i visit my server is always very nice and checks on me and my table every so often to check if we need anything which i liked. For my last visit my server was Blake C. Blake was very nice and was open to answering any questions we had about the menu and again like every visit checked on myself and my party every so often with a nice and caring attitude which overall made my visit and my birthday very enjoyable. Towards the end of my visit an employee also came around to give me a card that said "Happy Birthday from the Melting Pot" on it which was a very nice and special thing they did for me while i was there for my birthday! It was really appreciated! One small aspect that I wish would change is pricing, i felt that pricing was a little high for the small portion size of main course entrees we received while we were there. Overall everything else was very good! Thanks Melting Pot until next year!

    Awesome first experience. Had been meaning to dine here and finally got the opportunity. Started with Shishito Peppers (great!) The ramen was excellent which my wife and I shared as well as a crispy chicken curry. Desert was amazing as well (Macha Tiramisu & Japanese Crepe Cake).
