E-TANG

A great little hidden gem. In a corner of a strip mall with little signage, so you really need to look for it. We found it based on a locals recommendation. Four people, one appetizer, three entrees, and we were stuffed! Flavors were strong. Presentation was nicely done. Service was prompt. Prices very reasonable. Very large and comprehensive menu. What's not to like?

Food: Omg, my favorites are the dry hot pot potatoes and the cold spicy chicken! I never thought cold spicy chicken could be this tasty—it’s savory and sweet, not so spicy, and went so well with rice! I’ve been craving dry hot pot so much since moving from Cali! It’s super authentic and definitely worth trying, but heads up—the intestines might be a bit tough if you’re not into them 🤔 The shrimp soup dumplings are also my absolute favorite 😭! Customer service: I booked a reservation for 7:00 pm through phone but can still be waiting for about 6-10 mins when arrived because they were so busy. The servers and owner are nice and friendly.

This place is delicious! We eat here multiple times every trip to Savannah….You will not be disappointed! Hot Oil Wontons, Hot & Soup Soup, Crispy Spicy Chicken and Chicken Soup Dumplings. This is our order everytime! Perfection.

Great food and great service! We got the pork soup dumplings, pan fried beef bao, spicy chicken, and spicy lamb. The food was delicious! Will be coming back! Clean restroom as well.

Unassuming little corner spot packs some serious flavor. We dined in on a Saturday night, the small restaurant was full. Despite this, both the service and kitchen were prompt and attentive. The food arrived very quickly, within 5-10 minutes of ordering. The crispy spicy chicken was a standout for me. Crunchy, juicy bite-sized chicken pieces with salty black beans and fresh lemongrass accompanied the heat very well. Soup dumplings were a close second. Hands down the best Chinese experience I’ve had in GA.

My friends and I went here to celebrate our birthdays together. Food was authentic, delicious and service was awesome. Staff was really friendly and even put the cakes we brought in to be kept cold in their fridge until we were ready for it.

My family stumbled into this new spot late one night and the owner gave us personalized recommendations—I had the braised pork belly with buns. Oh my gosh. So good! The spot has a great vibe, too, and I’d definitely recommend it as a date spot as well. Great location. Only great things to say! I’d already eaten most of my meal before I thought to take photos. Oops!

I honestly hate to do this. I have enjoyed eating at Etang many times. But the last meal we picked up, was over an hour delay from the time it was supposed to be ready. When we finally got the food home it was cold. The Flaming beef was tough, almost like leather. There was a piece of bark wood in an entrée. I almost choked eating it . The soup dumplings had no soup . Overall a very disappointing meal for over $100.00 take out food. A complete waste!

Be prepared to wait for a seat. The service is fantastic! Everything we have tried has been delicious. It's not a huge restaurant so if you're planning to go with a big party definitely make reservations.

The real deal! Absolutely stellar food, staff professional, friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Charming space. This is a keeper!

In terms of taste, this is the one of the worst I have ever tried. I ordered spicy beef soup, spicy wanton, soup dumplings, and garlic cucumber. The result was disastrous. Beef soup was not spicy at all, and it is so sweet. The beef is not thinly sliced, but a chunk a tendons. It lost all the juicy feeling for this famous dish. The beef is like trying to cut down the cost and using roast beef to hand cut into pieces, definitely not machine cut. The wonton is also not spicy. It is simply regular sweet soup with one spoon of chili oil on the table, which is not the right way to do so. The soup dumplings are not white, but brownish. The warp was so thick and not smooth, it feels like orange peels. Usually eating this will use a small dish for vinegar and ginger, but there is no such thing here. The taste is so so. The garlic cucumber is generous, but tasteless. It is simple chopped cucumber with garlic and the flavors are individual and not mixed together long enough. It feels like they just made it when you order, one flavor becomes two, cucumber and garlic along. The chef is from Sichuan, but he has changed the original flavor to locally south, sweet instead of spicy, brownish instead of reddish. If you are looking for non authentic Chinese food, this is the place. If you are looking for good Chinese flavor, this is not the place. I do understand each person has different preference, but this is just not mine. I am looking for authentic flavor instead of American food with Chinese name. The service is ok, friendly and prompt when you need them, but hand writing order will usually miss something like our Thai tea. For me, I don't like the flavor, I probably can make better than the chef. But he can make better for local customers. It is just not my taste, that is all. This is the best one here due to the fact that most of the residents are not Asians. This is the fact.

Ordered the spicy chicken and extra spicy and the dish was bland and tasteless with just the hint of maybe cumin which is weird because it is not cumin chicken. The combo green bean/eggplant was also tasteless and the heat on the wok wasn't hot enough so the whole dish lacked any kind of aroma. I don't think I've ever given a Chinese restaurant that isn't an American Chinese restaurant 2 stars before but this one earned it. Giving it a 2 stars because the wait help was nice. If you are looking for authentic spicy western Chinese food, this is not the place for you.

Inside decor fun and vibrant. Staff friendly but very rush atmosphere. If they could just tone it down a bit and let us unwind. Felt like serving noise of plates and servers were in a frenzy!! lol "Get them in and get them out"! Food was step better than most Asian restaurants in area. Dim sum was average, could be a little tastier. You must ask for everything; sauces, chop sticks, water. Overall food good, people nice and quick meal!!! Just slow down the service n servers noise level!!

Excited to discover this restaurant on a recent trip to Savannah! The menu has lots of options for dim sum. This included dumplings in various flavors and styles. We decided to share several dishes. Everything was delivered hot and tasty!

Came here for lunch and was craving for dumplings. The restaurant was pretty roomy, typical chinese restaurant decor and pretty open floor plan. The server came right away and took our order. I ordered their mixed stemed dumplings and shrimp soup dumplings and they were so good! I also had their dan dan noodle and it just okay. I felt the noodle was too over done. I recommend their dumplings and hopefully I can try different dishes when we are visiting Savannah, GA in the future.

Have to know what to order! I have ordered delivery from here and not been happy, that is until I found the better dishes! Here are my go-to dishes: Fried Dumplings - pretty self explanatory. I personally prefer fried to steamed. Even with delivery, they still come crispy. Eggplant with garlic sauce - the eggplant is soft with a very rich sauce. There is so much here, you'll need multiple people or multiple days to eat it! Stir fried string bean - another very large portion! These come spicy so be prepared if you don't like spice. I love having these as leftovers because you can make so much with them!

Great service. The soup dumplings are good but the salt & pepper ribs are the real deal. Treat yourself and enjoy.

This spot was a little tucked away, but we are glad we found it! I am usually not a fan of Chinese restaurants because it's hard to find authentic dishes outside of major areas like NYC and LA. I was not disappointed by the experience at E-Tang. Ambience: somewhere in between casual and classy. Cute lanterns and round tables with lazy Susans in addition to booths. Food: We ordered pea shoots and braised tofu (called bean curd on the menu). Both were excellent. The pan fried vegetable dumplings were good too, but I wish they also had a steamed version. Overall, 10/10 recommend!

Holy cow!!! Delicious food! Authentic and fast! This place had a good amount of diners and our order was taken quickly. The food came out unbelievably fast and great portions. Definitely coming back again!

Food was amazing and we tried a few new things. Service was adequate and we sat in the 2nd room since the main room was so busy. It was a great first experience and the food was so good. Well worth the visit.

First time trying soup dumplings and I came to the right place! I tried the chicken soup dumplings and it was so good! The ambiance was so nice and inviting, even though I did take out. The service was excellent, even when they were slammed with people! I will be coming here again!

A great dim sum place with lots of traditional options. The XLB are made at the counter so you know they are fresh. Always a stop when I'm in Savannah.

I came in for Christmas Chinese food. The building is strange, and parking in the shopping center where my directions led me was more like a back entrance. Despite the fact that I didn't see a ton of people coming in, it filled up through the neighboring side street apparently, and I was glad I got in early as this was clearly the place to be on this particular holiday. I'd prefaced my visit by listening to a Tyler Cowen interview on the history of Chinese cuisine, and I figured a restaurant here in the deep south was never going to live up to the high-level thoughts going through my head at the time, but this was quality food. They had an extensive vegetarian selection, and their signature tofu dish came spicy or non-spicy. The spicy (country style) version was the sort of dish I dream about, with a fantastic textural experience highlighted by tofu which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and some distinctively rubbery wood ear mushrooms and fermented bamboo shoots. There was even a bit of what seemed like tofu skin, which is a different sort of product than the regular soy stuff. They also had an impressive menu of vegetables, and while I considered some of the specials, their basic green beans were fantastic, with lightly charred garlic and dried chilis highlighting a fresh, crisp pile of beans. Hot tea was loose leaf, though not overly strong. My main source of disappointment is that I couldn't order more. One might argue that I could have taken leftovers, and my leftovers were good, but this is the sort of food that is really best fresh off the wok. There is a second location of this restaurant on Hilton Head island which is probably worth checking out. I suspect that whatever the meaning, the place's name may be a pun on "eating" (Chinese language speakers often play with homophones in this way). Service was quick and efficient, and I see no reason to wait for a special holiday to come back here.

What a wonderful surprise. Was recommended this spot for a coworker and I now understand why. Extremely delicious. Some of the best Chinese cuisine you'll find in the city. All the soup dumplings are packed with flavor, and the entrees really hit it out of the park. Must try stop when in Savannah

I'm a soup dumpling fan. My favorite is the shrimp soup dumpling. Six little broth-filled orbs to an order will run you $10. They are worth it. The dumplings are made in house on the far end of the bar. The broth inside is extremely hot, so follow the suggestions: place the dumpling in a soup spoon. Puncture the dumpling and let the soup fill the spoon. Sip the soup, then, eat the dumpling. Dress the dumpling with a few drops of black rice vinegar, if you'd like. Just magical! The people I I've dined with who have ordered as though they were at Chinese carryout have been disappointed. The General Tso's chicken and fried chicken wings are fine, but I encourage you to scour the extensive menu and order something that sounds good. And even if you are not a vegetarian, don't sleep on the veg based dishes. My go-to is the tomato and scrambled egg entrée. I ate it everytime I could when I visited China many years ago, and I understand that it is a comfort food to some first and second generation, Chinese people. In summertime, when tomatoes are at their best, they get saucy, and the acidity cuts the richness of the eggs. Maybe there's garlic in it and white pepper. Some recipes I've seen have ginger. Served with rice, it is a delicious, comforting meal served in generous portions. I've never eaten any of the dishes in one sitting. Lately they've started serving it with sugar, inexplicably. Once when I ordered it, I was asked whether I wanted it sweet or salty. The next time I ordered it it was just sent to me sweet. I had to send it back. Another dish that hits above its weight class is the stir fried noodles and cabbage. The thin glass noodles are soft with the right amount of toothsomeness, while the cooked cabbage provides crunch. The eggplant with garlic sauce got raves from my sister, and she's pickier than I am. If you love soft and silky eggplant, you'll like this dish. She also loves the dumplings. Oh, and one more thing. The big parking lot out front is often full, and the cars are a little too close for my comfort. So I suggest using the back entrance. There are two steps, but often times you can park a few yards away from the back door, making it an easier entry and if you have to park on the far side of the parking lot, then reverse the atrium. And I've never had to pay to park. Make a night of it. Grab some friends, snag a big, round table with the lazy Susan in the middle and try a bunch of stuff. My group really enjoyed it, and I was concerned because I didn't know everyone's food preferences.

lol when we arrived, we thought the place was closed because it's a "for lease" sign in the window but DONT be fooled. Walk in and there's a few different suites inside. E-TANG is one of them. The food was fresh and hot! Literally amazing and some of the best Chinese food I'd ever had! Probably the best honestly! It'd get 5 stars but it was hot in there and hot outside and hot food. Made the dining experience a little hot lol but it was still great food and Ana amazing place to eat! We had the orange chicken, Beef dumplings, soup dumplings, fried shrimp egg rolls, white rice, shrimp fried rice, and white rice. 10/10 food

Stopped here on a whim. Smelled so good from the outside. Nice atmosphere, quiet, very good. Customer service. Food was awesome.

Food here was pretty salty and you only get one bowl of rice per dish. The dan dan noodles were a bit overcooked but the flavor was pretty good despite the saltiness. Service here was pretty quick though and the staff is nice and friendly!

E-tang is delicious!!! Everything I had was a standout!!! I loved the flavored sake and especially the shrimp dumplings!!! The service is fine, they take care of you and keep your water full. The restaurant can feel a bit crowded but it's worth it for the food! We went on a Saturday night and had to wait for our table even though we had a reservation, but like I said it was still worth it for the food! The food is all shareable and the table spins so you can easily share with your friends and family. I didn't enjoy that it was crowded but just to reiterate, it was all worth it for the food! Check this place out if you're in Savannah anytime soon!

The food was fabulous! Would highly recommend if you live in the area or are traveling to Savannah. Excellent service!

E-Tang is in my all time top 3 favorite places to eat. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a bite.

Wanted to get some beignets by the river but every restaurant was full. So chinese food was the next best thing! Service was excellent, quick and helpful. My family and I tried a bunch of different dishes, and we especially loved the shu mai and the whole fish. Would definitely go back whenever we're in the area!

So good! E-tang for the win. Our server was kind, playful and accommodating to our individual requests. Everyone working seemed to work together to tend to guests which made things run smoothly and efficiently. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, veggie fried rice and eggplant add tofu. Big servings and bursting with flavor. My soup dumplings were hot + tasty! Broth was delicious. My veggie fried rice had tons of veggies and egg and the right amount of flavor for my personal preference. The eggplant add tofu was bursting with flavor, hot and my friend said she liked the way the eggplant was cooked but she believes it was a little saucy/ goopy. They didn't charge for tofu and they offered us rice to go for the leftovers. There was enough for a whole other meal which we ate a day later. The restaurant is inside of a strip mall and outside of historic district Savannah. Will return when I am back in Savannah!

LOVE this place!! The food is delicious and the service is great. It's within the confines of the Historic District so stop by and enjoy some great food with the locals!

Food is good service is horrible they rush you grab plates and don't understand what your even saying. Not polite or kind very rushed..

This is our first visit here and we definitely plan on coming back many more times! We ordered as appetizers the cold spicy chicken, pork soup dumplings, and the pork fried dumplings. (We couldn't decide on one thing. Can you tell?) My husband ordered the sesame chicken which has a super yummy, sweet and tangy sauce coating a lightly crisp chicken. Far better than the average sesame chicken! I ordered the house special beef noodle soup. The broth was filled with Umami and the beef was very tender. We are excited to try new items the next time around!

Food was not bad but I docked off a star bc of the service. We came on Xmas day so I expected some chaos but figured since we had made reservations it wouldn't be too bad. They had make shift tables set up outside and asked us to sit there. Had I known we would have been forgotten out there I would have declined sitting outside. There was a party of 4 that had reservations 15 mins after us that got sat inside. After an hour of waiting for our food I went inside and saw that party already had their food and was eating. This is when I knew they just completely forgot about us since we were outside. I was pretty annoyed since we had just flown in that day and our kids were tired and hungry. So if they try to sit you outside the restaurant just say no because they will completely forget about you.

When I walked in, it was a nice surrounding, not too lit, but it gave you a comfortable feeling. The parking can be a little iffy though. There is a parking lot off of Price street you can go to or drive down Houston Street and park on right side of road. I took my order to go for 3 people. Still have a ton left over for tonight and tomorrow. I had braised pork, prawns with walnut and coconut sauce, and a bunch of different dumplings so we can figure out for next time what we liked best. Overall, it was good, but the best were dumplings.

I was a little skeptical ordering food at 9pm during the week when they close at 10pm. I worried for nothing. Food was good and take out service was efficient.

This is the best Asian restaurant I have ever been too. I didn't get a picture but the beef fried rice was the best fried rice I have ever eaten. This people were so friendly and the service was fast. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area.

The most incredible Chinese food I've had in my entire life. I will be thinking about this meal for lo no time. This restaurant alone could make me want to move to Savannah. Food: Chicken soup dumplings - the reason I came. Fresh, hot, flavorful and paired well with the chili oil on every table. This was perfect dish for a chilly night. Chicken lo mein - truly the best I've ever had. Savory, rich flavor with crisp vegatables, tender chicken, and thick noodles. My friend and I were definitely starting to fight over this. Crispy spicy chicken - when I ordered this, the server warned me it was really spicy. It is indeed really spicy which I enjoyed but if you aren't comfortable with heat I'd avoid. The chicken was really crispy yet moist. Pan fried pork dumplings - the came out hot and crispy. The flavor was great but I would have appreciated a larger portion of the dipping sauce. Beef bao - this was a bit of a let down. The bao dough had a really great texture but the beef itself lacked flavor. It was much improved by soy sauce and chili crisp but I wouldn't order again. Service: We came in on a Tuesday night in January. I expected it to be busy based on reviews. We waited about 10 minutes before being seated. Our server delivered our menus and quickly took our drink orders. He was very friendly and attentivecl considering how busy they were. Ambiance: The best thing about this place is the smell. I could live here just experience the smells every day. The restaurant was also very clean.

Excellent food and service. We keep coming back. Favorites are fried pork dumplings, garlic cucumber salad, hot oil wontons, and pork soup dumplings.

Found E-Tang for Chinese food in Savannah, obviously most of the city has already known of their presence. The restaurant is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall with a small and discreet sign. The foodies of Savannah are well aware of E-Tang. While viewing the menu, we noted about 10 bags of takeout food orders that never stopped. The restaurant is nicely decorated and had several televisions tuned into sporting events. We were quickly seated without reservations on a Sunday evening. The General Tso chicken and Mongolian beef with sweet onions sounded good to us. The food arrived hot and with generous helpings. The entrees were not soaked in sauce but tasty. The onions with the beef were delicious. We found our food to be good and with a nice flavor. The helpings were robust and of average costs. A true indicator of authenticity was the fact that we were the only Caucasians in the restaurant and many dishes are not commonly found. If you want good Chinese cuisine, check out E-Tang.

Wow- very authentic excellent Chinese. Chinese in the South has always been a disappointment until today. My husband ordered the griddle cooked shrimp- it was amazing. He had never had that dish and will now order that wherever we go and tell me it wasn't even close to as good as E-tang. The crispy potatoes in it were fantastic. I had the crispy spicy chicken - also great but if I had known it was without sauce I would hv chosen something else. It does hold that if you see Chinese patrons it must be good. I will be bk here on my next trip to Savannah! The reviews that encouraged me to go here were accurate- loved it!

We spent 2 nights in Savannah and decided to move away from Southern cuisine and tried E Tang. My girlfriend is Chinese and she wanted her comfort food and I discovered E Tang while searching YELP and read the reviews and decided to surprise her. E Tang did not disappoint. We enjoyed authentic Asian cuisine served in a very comfortable and tastefully decorated interior. It is inside the small strip mall and there is parking available in the small parking lot. Our servers were friendly and my girlfriend was most happy to converse in Chinese about the menu and confirm her choices. We enjoyed our dinner so much we returned for lunch before we left two days later. My girlfriend gave it a 4.8 out of 5. If you like authentic Chinese food, home made dumplings and wonderfully prepared dinners (spicy and not spicy), be sure to visit E Tang. It was a 15 minute walk from our Bay Street hotel.

Literally the BEST food I've had recently. I would recommend this to everyone I know. If you're not familiar with Asian cuisine they do provide pictures, and the servers are very helpful and efficient. You HAVE to try the house beef noodle soup, and the chicken soup dumplings. The food truly blew me away and also came out so quickly! If you're in the area you should totally come here 10/10.

I've had a lot better Chinese food. The food was just okay. We got the spicy chicken and the Mongolian beef. Be mindful of the sichuan peppercorns used in the spicy chicken, it has the mouth numbing sensation that some people like- I am not too keen on that. The Mongolian beef was more sauce-y than sticky, and I think I prefer my Mongolian beef with a sticky glaze than a liquid sauce. The flavor was really good though! The portions are huge, and it does get a little busy on Friday evenings. May go back again to try the soup dumplings and have more of the plum wine.

Food here is authentic and amazing. They have a wide variety of options for everyone. Service was also great and the food all came out quickly and hot. I'm a sucker for a good soup dumpling and these were delicious! The garlic cucumber were refreshing and good addition to any meal. The bao buns had a good sear on the bottom that added to the flavor. The orange chicken was perfect with the fresh orange peel and peppers and the chicken had a nice crunch and no sogginess. We will be back!

Our kids took us there for dinner on Christmas Eve and we can't get enough. It gets full very quickly so recommend call ahead or reservations which may, or may not, provide a faster sitting. Food is all over the place Asian. I don't know but everything that we have had is / was good. There were 8 of us and they sat us at a big round table and brought everything out and placed it on a lazy Susan and we just had some of everything and passed it around. A bit noisy but it's a happy place to eat. Lots of SCAN students and younger people. We were the oldest in the building at 70 years old. Watch out for the parking. This place is in a small "L" shaped strip mall shopping center right in the corner of the "L". Whoever designed the parking thought everyone rode in a Rick Shaw or a bicycle. If you have a large SUV or Truck, you are going to have problems so park on the street or take an Uber.

What a great experience. Clean, good service and most importantly great food. I tried the orange chicken, snow pea pods, shrimp soup dumplings and the intestines which were all very good.

My friend recommended this Chinese spot for authentic Chinese food and I have to say it's good. The plain looking shopping center is deceiving for how good the food is here. E-Tang serves a variety of Chinese dishes ranging from cold noodles to Mapo Tofu. Note that the Mapo Tofu is very NUMBINGLY spicy which I enjoy. We ordered quite a bit and it was refreshing having some variety of good Chinese options here. White rice is complimentary and free. Mapo Tofu: Literally fire. Love how spicy this gets. Can't complain at all because this is the exact flavor that I'm looking for. Dan Dan Noodles: These are the wheat noodles topped with pork bits, and I enjoyed this carb-loaded option because it's nice on a cold day. The warm noodles go down well when adding anything like meat or tofu in it. Cold spicy chicken: very authentic, it's not for everyone if you don't want cold chicken but nice to add to your noodles. Beef Noodles: Solid choice too. Didn't have any issues with it and my friend said she liked it. Overall it was good, I would recommend to anyone who wants some good Chinese food.

Disgusting Christmas dinner. Horribly over booked. sat in the added filthy room which was opened for the holiday. worst Chinese food we have ever eaten. Unsanitary handling of food by servers. How would you like to eat an egg roll dropped on the table by the server, who then replated it with his bare hand. Cold soup dumplings. Mongolian beef consisting of boiled like beef with only onions. Cashew chicken with tough chicken pieces, which was barely edible. We had a good meal here about one year ago. I guess greed motivated the owners to serve twice as many people as they could adequately handle. Definitely would not pass a proper health food inspection.

Nice Chinese restaurant in Savannah, having Sichuan dishes! Fried buns are made fresh in the restaurant upon order, delicious! Very attentive services, as well.

If you like some tongue tingling, lip numbing mapo tofu, this is the place for you! It was heavy on Sichuan peppercorns. We also ordered spicy crunchy chicken and the plate had more dried red chillies than chicken. They don't ask you for the desired spice level, we will come back when we are craving for some hot and spicy food

The food was amazing. The beef, chicken and vegetable Lo Mei, were all mouthwatering. The Beef Pan Fried Bao dumplings, were super delicious, but the crispy duck! The Crispy Duck was out of the world!! But mango Sake was the icing on the cake. Love the staff, and the ambience. Most definitely a must try if you're in Savannah.

Excellent chinese restaurant in Savannah. I love their Chicken Fried Rice, and another favorite is the Stir-Fried Fresh Green Beans. Both are super delicious. Atmosphere is very comfortable. Large portions! I highly recommend E-Tang for lunch or dinner.

If you love spicy food as much as I do, this is where it's at! Recommendations: garlic cucumber salad, spicy cold tendon & tripe appetizer, house special beef noodle soup, pan fried beef bao, bamboo w beef, Mapo tofu. *Vegetarian faves: braised tofu, spicy shredded potatoes, cabbage and long rice (rice noodle).
