What People Say
Most Liked
The most appreciated aspect of Splendid Shabu is its interactive dining experience. Guests love choosing their ingredients and cooking them just the way they like in flavorful broths at their table. It's not just about food; it's a chance to create lasting memories with friends and family.
Another favorite is the all-encompassing menu, filled with diverse options for both omnivores and vegetarians. The vegan-friendly choices and numerous toppings for your hot pot make it a favorite among plant-based diners.
Finally, the warm, welcoming service from the staff, often remembered fondly thanks to the charming family who runs the place, adds to the charm. It's not just a meal; it's a community experience.
Most Disliked
While the experience is mostly positive, some guests have noted the wait times during peak hours, especially on weekend evenings when the restaurant reaches full capacity. To avoid the crowd, visiting during off-peak hours or weekdays is advisable.
Another common concern is finding the location. Nestled towards the back of a shopping complex near Sam's Club, it can be easy to overlook. A few more signs to draw attention would benefit newcomers searching for this hidden gem.
Also, diners looking for fully prepared meals might not enjoy the hands-on cooking aspect of hot pot dining. While it's a fun experience, those preferring traditional service may wish for an alternative.

Splendid Shabu is a truly delightful restaurant—with a warm and welcoming ambiance lovingly run by a wonderful mother-and-son duo. They’re absolutely adorable and hilariously charming, making you feel like part of the good side of the family—the side you actually enjoy being around. Even though you kinda cook the food yourself, every bite is bursting with flavor. It’s more than just a meal—it’s an experience meant to be shared with friends, family, or even enjoyed solo, because the owners make you feel so comfortable and included. The place is spotless, and the ingredients are top quality. I had a chicken and beef soup loaded with fresh vegetables and house seasoning, and honestly, it was incredible. With every spoonful, it felt like a thousand flavors were dancing—almost like a joyful, multicolored trip of taste! And I can’t forget the grand finale: the fried cheesecake with blueberries—crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and absolutely heavenly. A perfect sweet ending to an already wonderful experience. If you’re looking for a place to eat, laugh, and feel genuinely cared for, Splendid Shabu is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

When traveling through the Savannah area, we ALWAYS stay in Pooler and stop at Splendid Shabu for dinner. Casual, reasonably priced, unassuming, and the selection of vegan and vegetarian options is terrific. Choose among many different meats, vegetable and tofu options, and poach them on any number of broths at your table Mix and match among your sauce options (I love tons of garlic mixed with hoisen and house sauces!). Great for conversations as you cook and serve yourselves. And, did I mention that the family that owns and staffs the place is really sweet? We think of it as a hidden gem! It's a bit hidden on a side driveway near Sams, but worth the trip.

Fabulous restaurant! Delicious and fun. You choose your own ingredients and and cook them in the broth of your choice in a "hot pot" right at your table. We are vegan and had two choices of vegan broths and many choices of plant-based ingredients - veggies, tofu, more varieties of mushrooms than I have ever seen. Even more options for omnivores and carnivores. Our waitress was so helpful, explaining how it all works and checking in with us to see if we had questions. We had a great time and a delicious meal. Right off 95 and well worth the stop if you're passing through (as we were).

I randomly stopped here while charging my car at the Outlets. I'm so glad I did. Delicious, authentic Asian food with great vegetarian options in a very relaxing atmosphere with free Wi-Fi.

I highly recommend this restaurant for a fun night out. The food was so fresh. They actually cut the meat to order.Cooking your own food was amazing. They serve large portions, so be prepared to take some home or split an order with your companion.

I've been twice and it's so awesome! It's a completely authentic experience with the guarantee of fresh food. The first time, I had the chicken and the second time, I had seafood. It was SO good! They also have wonderful bubble tea flavors. Yummy!
