    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
    Hernley J.

    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.

    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.

    Bubble tea menu

    This was a fun dinner spot. It was like the hot pot restaurants in Japan. Their receipts even have Japanese on them. We came at about 8:45pm and they are open til 1000 on the weekends. Our service was phenomenal. Our waiting was William. He explained the whole process and came back frequently to see if we needed anything. We ordered the spicy broth with the combo (2 meats and mixed vegetables), which I liked. You can add stuff to it from their sauce bar too. We really enjoyed the food. The dumplings were good too and came with 6 of them. Also ordered bubble tea. I did not like their bubble tea. They didn't put enough boba in it and it was watered down. So I would not get bubble tea there again. It was $45 for everything and we couldn't even finish our food.

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

    How far is this from Hilton Head?

    Almost an hour to Hilton Head. We ate there because we arrived mid-evening into Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, rented a car, and from there was only a 10min drive to the restaurant. We were traveling with young children. And since there…

    I've driven by this gas station 100 times and did not even know this restaurant existed until a…read morefriend of ours was over a couple of weeks ago and mentioned it would be a good place for us to grab a quick to go lunch. And so that's what we did. Definitely great advice! While this restaurant shares a parking lot with a liquor store and gas station, it is definitely legit. Now we didn't eat inside the restaurant and from the looks of it it doesn't seem to be a place that focuses on dining in as the majority of the customers waiting like me were there for takeout orders. But that being said, this was a place that did not skimp on portions and did a great job of delivering fresh made Chinese food at a great price. We got the crab Rangoon's, shrimp and vegetables and the Mongolian beef and I found all three entrées to really be satisfying. We also got the fried rice instead of white rice and the fried rice actually could've been a meal by itself. It had plenty of shrimp and veggies and was also fresh. This is definitely going to be a Chinese restaurant we will be adding to our takeout rotation.

    I picked up my order to go, I was one of the firsts there as I was there time they opened…read more I ordered the lunch special which was a great price. I ordered the General Tso with fried rice. I also ordered the Crab Rangoons also, they were some of the best I've ever had. I will definitely be back here again.

    The reviews for this restaurant are a bit deceptive, because this is a case where you have to…read moreadjust your expectations. But once you do, you will find this to be a very adequate buffet experience. First of all, this restaurant is tucked in the corner of a strip mall located in a larger complex with multiple Asian dining options, including two different. Korean restaurants. But they are plenty of parking spaces. So you shouldn't have any issue here. The restaurant is not extremely large but has plenty of seating. And on the Saturday afternoon that we visited we were immediately seated. Now the restaurant is a bit dated, and the booth we were in definitely shows some wear and tear with both bench seats having the vinyl split right down the middle. There are a couple of TVs on running Fox News, and the dining room is relatively quiet with just the chatter from other tables and booths. The selection of food is pretty good given the size of the restaurant and the overall price point. They have pre prepared sushi, hibachi and a plethora of fried food options,both on the Chinese and American side. They have a small dessert menu, but not much in terms of options. They have a pretty impressive fresh bar with fresh peeled shrimp, mussels, and oysters, which I was a bit, surprised to see. The oysters were refreshed while we were there, so I decided to try a couple and they weren't bad at all. I'm usually a bit nervous about trying oysters at buffet, but they did a good job of keeping them really iced and chilled. Service was also really good with the owner greeting new customers as they walked in and our server staying on top of our drinks and picking up our empty plates promptly. And the best thing about this place is the price. For two people our total bill came to a little bit over $40. This is a really good value given the variety and the service. Definitely will be a standard in my rotation of buffets here in Savannah.
