KTX Chicken
Audrey L.

This place is absolutely delicious! A fun Asian Southern fusion concept that really works. We loved everything we ordered, which included dumplings, ktx chicken (super crispy, excellent gochujang sauce) and the Korean stir fry. Kids loved it too. Corn bread was some of the best ever! The servers were friendly and attentive. There's a fun painted wall with jazz musicians and also a real piano in the back. One star deduction for table cleanliness, but otherwise wonderful dining experience.

Asian slaw burger

I have to admit that when my significant other forwarded the listing for this restaurant, I thought we were going to the park to watch a band play at the band shell! While that might've been fun, that definitely wasn't what I was prepared for. It was much better! West broad bandshell is a very interesting concept, blending soul food and Asian cuisine to create an eclectic butt very engaging menu. We took some family visiting Savannah to West broad bandshell Friday night and had a great time! First, this is a decent sized restaurant with about 8 to 10 tables and because we had a large group of eight people they were able to seat us together towards the front of the restaurant right in front of the stage. Now one thing to note. For groups of six or more they do not split checks and there is an automatic 20% gratuity. In the day and age where date night includes multiple couples hanging out together, I'm always a bit disappointed to see this lack of flexibility. Especially knowing that most digital POS systems are not that difficult to use when splitting a check, but we were able to accommodate that particular wrinkle. Our table started off with cornbread, which is complementary and very tasty. Baked more like a poundcake loaf, it was really tasty with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. From an entrée standpoint, the menu is really diverse. I ended up ordering the Asian slaw burger, which I know that isn't the name but that's the best way I could describe it. My lady ordered the Korean fried chicken and both entrées were huge but flavorful. We ended up taking so many to go boxes home after this visit. One of the highlights of the night was the live music. What seemingly started off as a single solo Artist performance ended up being a full band performance with a saxophonist, a guy playing a trombone, an excellent keyboard player, and the host doubled as both the drummer and the guitarist. Several people from the audience actually joined them on stage to do various renditions of neo soul, R&B, and popular urban pop. They also took request from the audience in addition to playing original songs so if you are a music lover this is definitely a set you want to check out. I would rate West broad band shell as a five star date night restaurant, but likely not the best fit for large families and group groups.

Chicken & Waffles

Walking in, I didn't know what to expect. The decor of this place is really nice. I'm upset I didn't take more photos of the inside. Our service was very quick and sweet. She helped pick drinks and recommended options for us food wise. The seared shrimp and grits was AMAZING. So flavorful and packed with shrimp. I was happy they did not give just 5 shrimp, it was filled with a perfect amount. The chicken and waffles were so tasty. The chicken was fried a little harder than my gf's liking but still flavorful. The only downside was sitting by the window. There were some flies hanging around so I'd definitely try and sit in the middle seats away from windows. I will definitely come back here however!

This visit to West Broad Bandshell started with a Google search for a nice downtown restaurant with plenty of free parking. The Bandshell fit that description, so reservations were made for the evening. The dining area is somewhat dark after sunset, so it is the perfect setting for a romantic meal. Yep reviews for the Bandshell mentioned numerous compliments about the cornbread cake and KTX chicken, so my order included those items. The cornbread cake was very tasty and sweet with plenty of melted butter and sugar included. The three pieces (dark meat only) of KXT chicken were crispy and hot. As it is one of their Center Stage dishes, two side items are included. I was very pleased with the food, service, and ambience. They also serve brunch on the weekends, so I plan to come back soon and sample that menu.

Amazing! Great good, especially the cornbread! The server was so polite and friendly. We had the salmon with rice and green beans. I would probably swap out the rice if I got the salmon dish again. I also loved the music selections, 10 out of 10!

My wife had stir-fry - THE SAUCES! My shrimp and grits was one the best I've ever eaten.
Chris H.

A great place with excellent service. Delicious Food. It's where Soul meets Seoul! Definitely should be one place you try in Savannah.

The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing. Very laid back, with live music. The staff here are super friendly and very helpful. The food was amazing. Seasoned to perfection. The place is a must stop. Can't wait to come back.

5 stars, Everything was great, the vibe inside was cute. Service was good and the food delicious! We can't wait to go back for the dinner items as we just had some lunch there.

Jeanelle B.

Good vibes and the band is amazing. I had so much fun and enjoyed every moment. Make reservations so you don't be disappointed.

Stir fry
Alexandra R.

Okay this is definitely a hidden gem in Savannah. It's the perfect fusion of Asian and soul food. We ordered the dumplings (perfectly crispy), the shrimp po boy (with Asian twist it was INCREDIBLE), and the stir fry. All the food was so tasty! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Only complaint is the restaurant is small and the service was a little slow, but I think they are new and working through kinks!

Shrimp and Grits
Demor'a B.

We were greeted and seated upon entry! The restaurant gives you an old tavern feel! The food is made to order! We ordered the Hand-cut onion rings, Crispy Sweet Chili and the Calamari! The food came out quickly! It was fresh tasty! I enjoyed the crispy wings the most! Two of our party liked the wings so much they ordered wings for their entrees. I ordered the Green Line Bibimbap Bowl with Bulgogi Beef! My egg was a bit overcooked but my server ordered me another egg over easy and brought it out. The tofu was crispy. I enjoyed the bowl! All the components worked well together I personally wanted some yum yum sauce or sriracha mayo to bring it all together. My friend had the Shrimp and Grits and it was so good! The grits were creamy, the jumbo shrimp were cooked to perfection & the dish was cheesy! I plan to order that on my next visit! .

The Union Stack

If you've been sleeping on West Broad Bandshell, consider this your wake-up call. This unassuming spot on MLK is, without exaggeration, one of the best places to eat in Savannah. The service is warm and welcoming, in that "you actually feel like family" way that's so rare to find. On my first visit, I ordered the Union Station Burger, and it immediately became one of the best burgers I've had in Savannah (and I've tried plenty). My colleagues were equally impressed: one had the Shrimp & Grits and raved about it, while another demolished the Rich Boy shrimp po'boy like it was her last meal on earth. We all left talking about how soon we'd be back. Less than a week later, I returned with my sister for a Sunday appetizer spread, and this is where Bandshell really shined. Here's what we ordered: * Lil' Romi's Famous Corn Bread Cake - This cornbread was unreal. I don't even like cornbread, yet I've dreamed about it every night since. Sweet, buttery, and perfectly crisped on the edges, it's worth the trip alone. * Korean Corndog Bites - Mini Korean-style corn dogs with a gooey mozzarella center, coated in crispy golden panko and dusted with sugar. Crispy, cheesy, and everything I hoped for. * Sweet Potato Fries - Simple but executed perfectly; hot, crispy, and comforting. * Loaded Jazz Fries - The star of the show. Sidewinder fries topped with bulgogi beef, cheese, scallions, bacon, aioli, and ranch. While eating them, I thought: "this might be the best thing I've ever put in my mouth." Then, in a surreal moment, another customer walked in, pointed at them, and said they had come back just for those fries. That says it all. * Hand Cut Onion Rings - Just onion rings on paper, but these were absolutely divine. Thick-cut, golden, and perfectly fried, with a house-made sauce that made them irresistible. * House Dumplings - Crispy and flavorful with pork, scallions, and ginger. Good overall, but if you have to skip one dish, this would be it. Everything else is just on another level. * Nappa Kimchi Crunch Salad - My sister ordered this one, and it was fresh, crunchy, and layered with flavor thanks to the sesame-lime vinaigrette and vegan kimchi. She ate every bite. Every single dish impressed, but the real magic of West Broad Bandshell is how they balance creativity and comfort. Their mix of Korean-inspired soul food is genius, and they execute it with care, flavor, and flair. If I could give them six stars, I would. Just go. I promise you'll thank me later.

Verenice was the BEST! Give that girl a raise or a promotion! She was doing it all! From taking orders, bringing food out, and cleaning up tables! She helped us navigate the menu/ordering. She also brought out our food to the table and was so helpful during our first time here. There were lots of ramen options to choose from. You choose your broth and meat option and that tells you your price. You can add extra toppings for additional costs. Runs about less than $20 a person. They have fountain drink options as well as other Asian drinks. They have rice bowl options as well as meat on a stick. They don't have kids meal options but it's about $8 for noodles and broth. Which is a good option for kids. I ordered shoyu broth for my son. I didn't realize it would taste so salty. I understand it's a soy sauce broth. But most ramen broths I've had isn't to that degree. I asked if they could add hot water to the hot water to make it less salty. Verenice again was so helpful, she brought the ramen back out and said if I needed more water added to just ask. I will say I did not appreciate the additional comments from some of the kitchen staff. The place is decorated with lots of anime characters. They have a vending machine with goodies. A claw machine with stuffed animals and lots of Pokémon cards for sale.

While out of town in Savannah, I wanted to hunt down some good local eats. I ended up trying out…read moreKimchi 2 Restaurant. I will preface this with telling you, I have high expectations of any Korean food I eat. I grew up on home cooked Korean food and I love it. I know when I find the real thing and when I find the cheap knock offs. I will say when I walked in and called out a annyeonghaseyo and the server looked at me confused, I almost turned tail. I'm glad I stuck it out though. Food--9.5/10. To start, the drink selection is very limited. They do offer some Korean drinks but very limited on them and any other beverage. That's the only detriment I had to this meal. The mandu was fantastic crisp on the outside juicy and flavorful inside. Just the perfect yaki mandu. The dolsot bibimbap was top notch. It came out blazing hot and sizzling and given I have hearing issues that even I could hear a bit of the sizzle tells you it was really sizzling. So when you dig down into the bottom, there's that gorgeous crispy rice at the base of the dish. It came out with four perfect banchan. The kimchi was delightful and well fermented. The potato is always one of my favorite and I adored it. The oi kimchi was so crunchy and tangy and the little shredded cabbage with what tasted like a gochujang mayo was simple but delightful and had me wanting more. If I had one complaint aside from the limited beverages is that I like my bibimbap sauce to be a bit more tangy and a larger amount. Regardless, I'll be paying them a visit again very soon because there are so many amazing authentic Korean dishes on their menu that I can't wait to try. I only wish I lived closer. Service--8/10. The young lady who was serving was very attentive. That being said my only thing lacking is it was only her and as several more people arrived, she was less able to attend to the customers. She was very nice, polite and served as quick as she could, but as I said more people came in as my meal progressed, and I would've liked to have been able to ask for a little more bibimbap sauce. Ambiance--8/10. The exterior of the building leaves a lot to be desired. It's a very small strip of shops with very limited parking. However, where the exterior is lacking the interior is pleasant, clean and inviting. All in all, I would be back over and over again if I lived in the area and if you're in Savannah and you like Asian food and you have not tried this, you are missing out.

When I requested a knife from Julie at the register, she informed me she would bring it to the table but failed to do so. Upon following up with Ashley, I was provided one immediately from the same location where Julie had been standing. When I later addressed the delay with Julia, she responded snarkily, stating "well you didn't order from me and you're not my table so I don't have to get you a knife. I said if you work here and I ask for a knife, if you feel you don't want to get it for me, then as an employee, you get whomever rang me up to assist me but either way, I walked to the cash register and asked for a knife and she could have easily reached under the shelf and handed me a knife just as Ashley did. I attempted to speak with the manager on duty, Justin, but he was busy at the bar. While I was waiting to speak with Justin, Julia brushed past me touching the spoon that was in my hand. After a bit of time passed by, I chose to leave rather than continue waiting. I hope this feedback is helpful in improving both the food quality and the service standards to ensure a better experience for future patrons at your restaurant.

Asia Market (AM) is one of a handful of Asian grocery stores in Savannah and surrounding areas, but…read moremore specifically, only one of two stores that focuses on Korean specialty items. I learned this early on when we first moved to the area, because priorities, People! I need to know where I can get my Korean goods! - Parking - Center lot. Located in a strip mall, the parking is limited and a little tight in front of the store, but hey, I'm not complaining. It's free parking. - Vibe - It's a tiny store. I mean, like 2 aisles tiny. So, if you can't handle small spaces, be warned. However, the owner has made good use of every inch of real estate in there, but organized. Reminds me of the way small biz owners set up their small spaces in markets in Korea. No wasting any space here. Think of it as Aldi in terms of product selection as compared to a Kroger. Smaller, easier to navigate and I can get all my basics. - TLC - I always see the same Ajjumma (Ma'am in Korean). She is the owner, I'm sure. She's always really sweet, gives service with a smile and when my kids are with me, she always gives them a little complimentary Rice Cracker snack packet. They clearly love her, LOL! - Goods - The prices are lower at AM between the two Korean grocery stores, even though it's the smaller store. Those two aisles are stocked with the basics and I can get everything I need to cook my Korean meals, from Gochujang (Hot Red Pepper Paste) to Japchae noods (sweet potato starch noods). I find some of my childhood treats too like Choco-Pie, Go-So-Mi Crackers (a must try if you don't know what these are!) and Banana Oo-You (Milk) which are super expensive, but I think it's just the price of importing them. My husband wasn't really too happy that I bought 6 juice box sizes of Banana Milk for $9, but hey, $9 is worth it for the walk down memory lane for a few minutes! On the second aisle, the freezer and fridges line the wall and I buy mostly all of my frozen and refrigerated items there, things I can't get online, like dumplings, oval rice cakes, both things I needed to make Ddukmanduguk (Dumpling Rice Cake soup) that Korean typically eat on Lunar New Year, which was the reason for my recent visit. The kimchi they sell is from Atlanta and it's pretty decent. For one of those big plastic containers (like when you get Pho broth packed to go, maybe a pint size?), it's about $8? Not bad considering Kimchi is a PITA to make. The good news is, every time I buy one, it's in the beginning stages which is the stage I really don't like, but it's an indication that it was made and delivered to the store recently. I got the Green Plum juice on my recent visit and I thought it was pretty tasty! I got this as an exchange for the Jeju Clementine juice I originally purchased because it had just expired. - Heads Up - Pro tip - if you see Hangul (Korean alphabet) on the store sign, it's most likely Korean owned, which probably means it's a Korean specific grocery store. I know some people were not too happy about the store name, but hey, there is Kimchi sold at big chain grocery stores and I wouldn't call it Kimchi. Know what I mean? If I plan ahead, I usually place my non-perishable order online with a well known Korean grocery store in the North East, but this is the place I go for all my last minute needs and all the perishable stuff. It won't have everything in 10 different flavors, but it should get you the basics! Note to self for future: Try the Jeju Clementine Juice and the Fish Waffle Red Bean Ice Cream Sandwich!
