When I tell you DELICIOUS better believe it. Mood: hungry This place I literally found from walking around Chicago after a boat tour. I wanted Asian and I surely got that good cuisine. The place is beautiful, clean, and very inviting. Not an overwhelming large place but just the right size. Really cute table seating both at the bar and by the window. Customer service was A++ Food: Everything fried rice 10/10: no comment it was filling- portion size perfect for left overs and made so fresh the steam was all over. Huge pieces of shrimp, chicken, and egg. Was great. Red Chili chicken : 10/10 the spice was there 10 times over and did not disappoint. I enjoyed all of it. Made to order with a kick in every bit. Would come here over and over again any day.

I am still recovering from the food coma. This chow fun is THE BEST I have ever had in any city I've been to in the US. A bit pricey but so worth it and I will come here alone if I have to to eat this addictive deliciousness. I walked 2 miles for this and I will do it again in a heartbeat. Service was efficient and friendly. Casual ambiance and most people were in t-shirts.

I will start by saying this is not my favorite neighborhood to eat in - I feel like a lot of the food is a bit mediocre and overpriced, but we were in the area and needed to eat and I've had this place bookmarked for a bit. This meal defied my assumptions - I am so glad we had dinner here. We got the golden shrimp stew which is tofu and shrimp in a salted egg yolk soupy sauce and the Hong Kong chow fun, which was perfectly cooked on a wok and so flavorful. My friend pointed out that you can probably get this food as good or better for lower prices in Chinatown or other neighborhoods, which is probably true, but I highly recommend this place. I would definitely come back - loved what we got and it was so so yummy. Definitely the kind of meal you have that makes you access gratitude.

Delicious drinks and food! Be warned that there is a wait time if you go on in on a Friday or Saturday evening, but they have seating inside for waiting. I think we waited 10-15 min for a table. Well worth it though! I especially loved the Japanese egg tofu with mushrooms, which was also delicious for leftovers the next day.

The noodle soups here strike the perfect balance of rich, savory broths - not too salty, not too bland. I ordered the taiwanese beef noodle soup, and it tasted every bit as authentic as the dishes I had back home. The beef is indelibly tender and the noodles are cooked to perfection. We also tried the mapo tofu, which knocked it out of the park. A must try for anyone coming here. Service was extremely fast!

If you are ever in Chicago, go to this place. Their noodles are homemade and you can tell. They noodles were delicious. Everything we got was delicious. The cumin lamb is something I've never had or tasted anywhere. It was so delicious. My friend got the curry chicken. It was a bit on the spicy side but also as delicious. The service was great. We didn't have reservations but they were able to accommodate my friend and me. The place was cute and there were many patrons there. If you plan to come here at a certain time with more than two people, reservations are recommended.

May be I should stick to my favorites! The food here is always so great and never fails to satisfy my Chinese food cravings. The service was attentive. In this visit , I ordered my go-to: potato hot pot, and sichuan chicken along with I tried Hong Kong noodles and chicken hot pot for the first time. Hong Kong noodles were so flavorful; became my new favorite however; chicken hot pot lacked the flavors. Chicken was too hard and really dry. I also ordered japanese green tea by the pot. It had very refreshing, and grassy notes and I think it def helped me had a calming sleep that night. Even my friends loved it! It still remains one of my favorite Chinese restaurant and I will visit again!

What a great find. We had dinner plans so wanted lighter fare for lunch after walking around downtown. The house made noodles were appealing and helped us narrow the menu to the noodle soups. One soup is easily shareable for 2-3 people but our curiosity led us to two soups for the two of us. Plus, spicy edamame for a starter. It was nice to see so many college-aged Asian faces in the restaurant and we'll definitely return on future visits to Chicago.

Our second time at Shang noodle. 5-food I have likes everything we tried we did the duck trio once and laomein, orange chicken, and walnut shrimp. Portions are good and food tastes very good. 5- venue is clean and modernized a little tricky for babies with strollers but we are able to make it work.

I have been to Shang a couple of times in the past, I'm glad there is a good authentic Chinese restaurant in Chicago downtown. They have an extensive menu and offer decent vegetarian options. I have tried spring rolls, dry sizzling hot pot, Chowmein, Chow Fun and Mapo Tofu in the past. I love Dry sizzling hot pot the most. We had a bit of confusion with our order and didn't like the noodles that came in with the dry pot but the Manager was very sweet to quickly replace it with fried rice. Spring rolls were crispy and were paired well with the sweet and sour sauce. Chowmein has a lot of veggies too, I added extra chilly oil to it and it tasted just perfect! I always order Peach Tea along with my meal and it's a perfect combination. I recommend this place for good food, service and calm ambiance.
