“Food was good, service was on point. No more than 5 other tables occupied during our visit. My kung pao chicken was yummy with minimal heat. Sadly they didn’t have any Sapporo but I had Tsingtao instead which was perfectly fine. My friend got the house chow mein with tofu; she was a little disappointed the tofu wasn’t crispy. She liked her Mai tai however 🍹Service was very attentive & kind.”
“The best egg drop soup I’ve ever had, there is tofu and scallions, along with onions inside- very hearty compared to most. Had garlic chicken this visit and it was great! Next time going to try dumplings which were recommended ☺️Also the cocktails are unique and very tasty. Friendly And outstanding service. There are a few private rooms for smaller parties as well. Great vibe and comfy chairs!”
“This place is really a hidden gem, one of my friends recommended this place about a year ago, and I have now gotten my family and other friends to try it once, and all of them have loved it. The combination of welcoming appetizers, tasty mains and delicious drinks all swirled together with quick service and a wonderful staff lead to this place being a wonderful place to stop by to eat a great meal, snack on a couple potstickers or if you are just looking for a tasty Hibiscus Spritz. (a really good drink that they serve made with Lychee and sparkling water) Overall, I highly recommend Hope this helps!”
“Everything I ate was delicious, i recommend the firecracker chicken, sizzling beef and the soup dumplings. The jja jang myeon noodles were awesome. So glad I tried them it’s my new favorite dish. It’s Chinatown without the drive.”
“I came there first time at Shang noodles & Chinese so I loved eating very delicious seafood spicy noodles soup very delicious yummy”
“The atmosphere is great, excellent restaurant! The restaurant looks clean and have three very good size private rooms! Reasonable priced and decent portions As soon as we walked in, we received very good services from host, to staffs to our waiter Most of the food were excellent! We liked the walnut shrimp, the lobster noodles, the fish, the hot plate beef and the kids loved the chicken lol We were a little worry since its in down town, as soon as we walked in they have a huge bar but the Chinese food weren’t bad at all!”
“EXCELLENT restaurant!!!! As soon as we walked in, we received EXCELLENT service from ALL the staff, start to finish!!!! The food was very delicious and fresh. I can't forget about the tasty drinks they have as well. The restaurant looks very clean and they also have 2 or 3 private rooms. My family and I can't wait to go back. Whoever is the owner of this restaurant, you have an awesome team with you !!! Congratulations!!!”
“We ordered takeout of Walnut Shrimp, red chili chicken, and lobster salad. The first thing that struck us was the incredibly generous portion sizes. But the real highlight was the exceptional taste. The chicken was tender and juicy, the shrimp were massive and succulent, and the salad was fresh and crisp. It’s rare to find consistently good and fresh-tasting Chinese food. This meal far exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely be returning. Update 4/25. We have been coming here regularly for dine-in and love it.”
“i finally tried this place after seeing a lot of great reviews and videos online, and i was honestly really excited to check it out. overall, it was okay. i got the lunch special, which was actually a really good value for the price. i ordered the stir-fried shrimp, and the shrimp itself was pretty good. my biggest issue was that the overall flavor just felt a little lacking. some of the vegetables tasted fresh, while others tasted like they came straight out of a can, which was kind of disappointing. that being said, the restaurant was super clean, very modern inside, and everyone was really friendly. i can definitely see why people enjoy coming here. i think my expectations were just a little too high based on all the hype. i don’t regret trying it, and for the price i paid, it was decent. i may give it another shot down the road, but probably not anytime soon. overall, not bad, just not quite as amazing as i was expecting.”
“Fish and lamb hot pot is like a soup served with some rice. Lamb quality was great but fish not quite. The pepper tofu is amazing and noodles were spot on.Martini was delicious but cube colada not so.great venue for private parties.Street parking 2 hour limit.Ruby is a great server!”
