Absolutely amazing Sichuan food! The flavors are bold, authentic, and perfectly balanced between spicy, numbing, and aromatic. The Boiled Fish was tender and flavorful, and the Spicy Chicken was crispy outside, juicy inside — pure perfection. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. Generous portions at very reasonable prices. If you love real Sichuan cuisine, this place is a must-visit!

Many of my friends recommended this restaurant, so I decided to give it a try after our 9-mile hike at Lake Chabot!
We ordered Chicken in Red Oil Sauce, Noodles with pickled Pepper Chicken Gizzards, and Chef’s Special Boiled Fish Fillet in Green Peppers Soup.
My favorite dish was the Noodles with Pickled Pepper Chicken Gizzards, which is packed with flavor, the noodles are chewy, and the sauce is spicy!
My second favorite dish was the Chef’s Special Boiled Fish Fillet in Green Peppers Soup, which was thinly sliced fish simmered in a broth infused with green Sichuan peppercorns, chilies, and other spices. You will have a numbing sensation aftertaste, but it was not as spicy as the Noodles with Pickled Pepper Chicken Gizzards.

The food is pretty good. Things are pretty spicy compared to the other places around the area.
The cellular reception is pretty bad and you have to order through the QR code so I recommend connecting to their WIFI to order. Even with the WIFI ordering was slow though, that was the worst part of the experience.

I'm by no means a spicy food person, and although the food here is very spicy, it was quite tasty. If you can get past the spiciness of the dishes, you'll find that the food is very appetizing.

The rice is very round. I’m unsure why I came here, because I don’t eat spice at all. If I liked spices, I image that I would find this experience quite enjoyable. Otherwise, I love how round and perfectly spherical the rice is.

Shang Café is a hidden gem in Fremont! The fried rice is super flavorful and perfectly cooked. I loved their Glutinous Rice Cakes with Brown Sugar, it was the perfect way to end my meal!! 10/10

Authentic Sichuan Cuisine
From the moment I stepped in, the rich aroma of authentic Sichuan spices whetted my appetite instantly!
Fresh Ingredients, Genuine Flavors: The duck blood in the *Mao Xue Wang* was tender, the tripe crispy, with layers of numbing-spicy goodness. The **Sichuan Pepper Beef** was exceptionally flavorful—succulent, fragrant, and packed with a mouth-tingling peppercorn punch! You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients.
Lightning-Fast Service, No Long Waits.Dishes started arriving within 15 minutes of ordering—a lifesaver for a hungry diner! The *Fu Qi Fei Pian* (Couple's Sliced Beef) deserves special mention—thinly sliced, perfectly spiced, with a hint of sweetness balancing the heat.
Attentive Service, Warm Hospitality:The staff was incredibly friendly, checking spice preferences and offering recommendations. They kept our tea refilled and plates changed promptly, all with genuine smiles.

Always amazed by the authentic Sichuan/Hunan food in homemade style and friendly waiters every time I go to this cozy restaurant. There are reasons why it’s been there for many years and still so popular.
