    Who doesn't love shabu!?
    Cori F.

    I did not expect to find great hot pot in a random place we stopped on a drive in Georgia, but we did! We got in late from a long day of driving and immediately got a table. We were able to order very quickly and they brought our broth and food out very quickly. It was just what we needed. The staff was lovely, the food was good. I highly recommend the gyoza. There was a sauce bar to make your own combination. They were all a little thinner than I'd expect/hope but the taste was perfect. There were bar seats and booths available. It was pretty dark but I enjoyed the dinner. There was a great playlist on (some great throw backs for my age group that may or may not be appreciated by all but it wasn't super loud of anything. Just a nice playlist in the background).

    Great experience. Good food. Staff was attentive and helpful. We definitely enjoyed it. We've never actually tried a hot pot experience, and the waitress really explained everything well. The sauce bar was a great feature as well!

    It was a cold and raining day so we deciding to find a decent restaurant to eat at. We found Splendid Shabu for their hot pot! We went during lunch time and it wasn't too packed. Place is not an all you can eat service. They offer a variety of different combinations hot pot soup options. You get to choose your soup base, noodles, and then your choice of combination meats and seafood. I ordered the spicy broth with udon noodles, and choose the surf and turf that comes with a choice of meat option and mixed seafood. There are other a la carte items you are able to order. Spicy soup broth wasn't too spicy, but everything tasted good. In the corner there is a sauce bar where you are able to grab a combination of different sauce for your soup or for dipping. Overall decent amount of food that would get you full. I do recommend checking this place out. Service was decent and friendly and helpful waitress.

    The restaurant interior is simple but cozy and clean. Orders are brought out fast, hot and fresh! I got the house broth which didn't taste like a lot for me BUT the sauce bar fixed that up real quick. The platter with meat and veggies is more than enough for 3-4 bowls and a full stomach. Very very friendly and attentive service. Would go again! ~ 15$ for a chicken plate, veggies and noodles is more than fair!

    The left overs tho... I'm still souping it up. Leave nothing behind and for $2 bucks more order more Udon Noodles to go. I think I'm saying that right... those fat noodles. That way you can add to your stock and throw in any left over veggies from home or not and have you another meal at home. Holla

    Big fat bowl of hot goodness on a cool winter day is what you will find here. It's a jackpot especially because my throat is feeling all dry right now. Lunch is a breeze during the week. Under $9 for a bowl and u pick your broth, protein, and noodles. You go to the sauce bar and mix up your concoction to give it more flavor. My thing is I have no idea what to mix up together. I just threw some peanut sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, garlic, cilantro, and green onion in a bowl and through it in my soup. If you want extra veggies or an egg; the egg of all things is not included in the lunch express. If you want to make your own food, you can do it but it looks like what you include is ala carte so it may or may not add up. I'd rather it be cooked for me!

    Egg Noodles and Pork

    A friend of mine has had an eye on this place and we finally went. This was my first time having Hot Pot, and it was a great experience! I ordered the Egg noodle and Pork with the house broth. The house has the least amount of flavoring so I would recommend the curry or spicy. It's confusing at first when they bring out all the food, but you just have to go for it. The food is all very good, and it's a very interactive process. This place was great. If you're thinking about trying Hot Pot I would definitely recommend!! You will not be disappointed!!!

    Vegetarian Combo & Shrimp

    So this place is an experience. My first time here and it was memorable. Good times with a friend that was filled with laughter. An abundance of food that you cook yourself in a hotpot. The mixing of flavors into your broth in hopes of a delectable finish. Suggestions: give guidance on mixtures. Yes, you tell us the what the ingredients taste like but I need a sure recipe outlined for what will definitely taste good. I did a good job, but I feel like I could have made my broth taste better. A lot of trial and error. You can definitely share. My friend and I ordered separately which means we had an abundance of leftovers. Also, Gulfstream employees get a percentage off.

    Standard veggies, it all goes into the pot

    Passing through Savannah, staying near airport. 8 pm, on the road all day, need dinner. We Yelp! and select Splendid Shabu. Concept seems cool: they provide broth, you cook vegetables and protein. You also choose noodle style (udon, clear bean, ramen, etc). New to us. We both get vegetarian broth and ingredients, and it all cooks quickly on table-top electric hot plates. There is also a bar with sauces (hoisin, sweet chili, Paeno, etc) that you use to dip your ingredients. Yum! Everything worked great and was delicious. Super generous portions, way more than we could eat. Good service and atmosphere. Good value, our bill for two was $44 including tip. My only suggestion is that the fish used is paiche, an Asian catfish. Unfavorable bottom feeder, they could do better. Other than that, highly recommended.

    Free sauce bar! The sauce mix suggested is always so delicious.

    I love this place. It is easy to miss, but once you find it you'll come back time and time again. The soup bases are full of flavor and the portions are huge.

    This is the only place in the area that has authentic Chinese hotpot! I especially like their lunch express bowl--it's basically noodle soup, using the hotpot soup base. It tastes wonderful. I wish they could offer express bowl during dinner time as well; I won't mind paying a few dollars more for the dinner time express bowl if they started doing that.

The flavors are bold, comforting service,and feel like the real deal -- not your typical takeout. And let's talk about the double fried pork... because WOW. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, perfectly seasoned -- it's the kind of dish you start thinking about again the next day. Absolutely my favorite. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the food always comes out fresh and full of flavor. If you want authentic Chinese cuisine that actually delivers, Etang is it.

We ordered beef and broccoli, sweet-and-sour chicken, pan-fried noodles with beef, egg drop soup and sticky buns. The service itself was good: we were seated quickly, drinks came right away, and our server checked on us multiple times. No complaints there. That said, the food was where things fell short. The portions were noticeably smaller than the Savannah location. The beef in both the beef and broccoli and the pan-fried noodles was very chewy, which took away from the overall experience. The sweet-and-sour chicken was a bit overcooked and crunchy--still edible, but not great. The pan-fried noodles had good flavor, but again, the chewy beef was an issue. Initially, they brought me the wrong soup kind of debated me for a moment telling me it was the right one, but it wasn't. They correct the right one though after a longer conversation. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and clean. Lots of cherry blossom decorations on the ceiling make it feel warm. It was clean and did not smell bad. Our total came out to about $86 with tip, which isn't bad price-wise, but for the quality and portion size, it didn't feel worth it compared to the other location. Overall, it's okay, but definitely a step down. If I'm craving E Tang, I'd skip this Pooler spot and go back to the original Savannah location instead.

We walked halfway in and nothing and my husband had to walk directly to a waitress to ask if we seat ourselves. She pointed at the table and grabbed who would be our server. I guess we interrupted her conversation. Our server on the other hand was sweet, however, I had a hard time hearing what she was saying because her voice was so low. We did not have any qualms about our server. She was good. A lot of servers were openly on their phones, specifically the sushi chefs behind the counter. They would stare off into the distance or be on their phones until summoned to make a nigiri. It wasn't necessarily slow, there were quite a few patrons there. When we left there was a young girl at the enterance clearing off a seating chart and not a single person thanked us as we were exiting. Obviously you don't have to be Japanese to run a Japanese restaurant, but at least do the bare minimum of service that is uniquely Japanese. AMBIANCE 2/5: the set up and decorations felt all over the place, nothing was a cohesive design. It's as if they just went to Ross and found anything Asian inspired (not specifically Japanese) and purchased it. FOOD 3/5: it wasn't anything to write home about. I did enjoy the scallop nigiri but it was $6.50 for 2 pc. Presentation of nigiri was wild too, they put 2 nigiri on a 12 in platter lol it's as if they ran out of small plates? The grilled squid was what got our attention to come here and it was ok. It was grilled fine, just the way i like it. I did like that hint of ume or shiso they sprinkled in there but the dish also came at the end, after I've already eaten my entre. It was Iisted as a hot appetizer but came after the entre, so I ate it without any rice. The lava roll was very good and there was an abundance of imitation crab meat on top. The "angry dragon" roll was interesting because they used pink tofu skin, which i thought was unique. Flavorwise, not as spicy as the name insinuates. I did appreciate the water tasted smooth and not like faucet water. COST 2/5: obviously, prices are high everywhere now and on top of that this is a sushi restaurant. We paid $80 something inc tip for miso soup, 3 rolls and 1 grilled squid. I definitely feel it is a little pricey and I'm not willing to pay $40/person when the food is mid and service is subpar. Overall, I'd give this place a 2/5. There were a couple of enjoyable food items, but the lack of basic hospitality, scattered ambiance, awkward timing of dishes, and higher price point made the experience feel underwhelming. For about $40 per person, I expected more than mid-tier food and subpar service.
