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).

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.

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!

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!

As Vegans, finding a good place to eat is a very difficult task and finding gluten free options on top of that for my wife adds to the difficulty, haha… That being said, the food here was very good, soothing and fun to cook on top of that. The fun part is rather simple, lol, but still enjoyable for my wife and I and the 8-year-old. The atmosphere was very relaxing, not very noisy and quite clean. Our servers were knowledgeable, polite and cooking the food at out table didn’t take as long as I thought it would. I think anyone would enjoy this restaurant and plan on being there for at least 1.5 hours and having good food and great conversation. (Leave the phones in your pocket or purse…)

Wife & I stopped here for lunch. It’s located in an isolated building in front of Sam’s Club. The waitress asked Lunch, Pho or Hotpot. We opted for Hotpot. 3 steps: 1) Pick broth (spicy, miso). 2) Pick noodle (clear, egg). 3) Pick protein (beef, seafood). It came with a plate of assorted fresh veggies. There’s a small sauce bar for your dipping. Service was quick & friendly. Broth was tasty, better than most other places. Portions were adequate & plenty. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. 2 thumbs up!

There are many types of soup to choose from. Fresh meat and seafood Can be ordered as a combo or a la carte. There are refillable drinks. The dipping sauce is for you to prepare yourself (the peanut dipping sauce is delicious) and costs about 30-40$ per person.

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.
