“Shang Cafe has been keeping up to their high standard, which speaks for itself. The food is delicious and portion is good. They are moderate in terms of seasoning and salts. But still manage to make the dishes delicious. They keep pushing new creations, which are usually good! Good job all these years!“

“AMAZING snacks! There is a free snack bar with all kinds of delicious chinese snacks, the staff were very kind and gave children toys. You can walk in at any given time and they will find you a table immediately. The place is very clean, and my family and I love it so much we go at least 2 times a week. If you’re ever looking for a hot pot place go here!“

“This is delicious! I really like eating rattan pepper fish. It would be better if the potato shreds were more sour and spicy. The pot-roasted pork is also delicious, but I don’t eat fried food very much. If I eat one piece, it will be almost the same. Overall, the service was great, the food was great, a bit pricey but fresh, will definitely go back.“

“Pretty solid takeout Chinese spot. I got the Lychee Shrimp Balls and Sesame Chicken with a side of White Rice. Very flavorful and cooked perfectly.The shrimp balls were tender inside and crispy outside. I like that they have water chestnuts for some extra texture. The sesame chicken was quite sweet! Tender meat. Tasted like an elevated orange chicken. I would order it again.My only complaint is the takeout packaging. It was very soggy and not sturdy. It doesn't seem to hold up with the food condensation. The boxes were falling apart at the edges from the heat.“

“Authentic home-style northern Chinese food. It’s best if you go for the dishes that don’t require pan-frying, such as the buns, the pumpkin porridge, or the cabbage tofu stew.
I chatted with the owner, she is very passionate about not using additives, and fresh small-batch oil everyday; her own grandchildren eat here. I have a sensitive stomach and this is indeed one of the only places I can constantly order from.
Overall, this is a restaurant that preserves ingredients’ original flavors like your grandma’s kitchen. The atmosphere is likewise — nothing fancy.“
