After a couple of friends recommended this restaurant, my husband and I decided to give it a try since we were in the mood for Chinese cuisine. Just so you know, this restaurant promotes itself as an Asian Fusion spot.
Upon entering, we were captivated by the beautiful mural and hanging lanterns that created an exotic ambiance. We were quickly seated and handed menus. Two ladies served us: one handed us the menu and later delivered our entrees, while the other took our orders. Since we came during lunchtime, we noticed there was a lunch menu. Here’s what we ordered:
I chose the Fermented Black Bean Fish dish, which was packed with flavor and aroma from the fermented black beans. It had a perfect balance of sweet and salty, with the onions and peppers helping to tone down the strong saltiness.
My husband ordered the Dry Pot with fish, which was cooked in a spicy sauce and included shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, and a generous amount of dry chili peppers. The heat from the chilis nicely complemented the delicate fish. Both dishes featured fish that was lightly battered, quickly stir-fried, and remained tender without being overwhelmed by the other ingredients.
The waitress who handed us the menu and later delivered our dishes was incredibly pleasant, always smiling as she served us.

I like the taste of the food. The price is a little high but the food is worth it. I always say that it is best to pay for something that nourishes and not for something else.

Pretty good Chinese food in Princeton area. Food is tasty,well priced and generous serving!! Definitely give a try if you fancy some authors Chinese food in this area. It is very busy and might have to wait and eat fast, because they come and clear your table quickly.

I'm giving two stars because the food delivery to the table was quick but let's move on. The waiter was cold but the food was even colder. Food was almost thrown on the table with no care. The food itself was dry and bland. Maybe it was an off day but we then saw other patrons that were not black getting hot food. Quite disappointed

Went because it has gluten free. Had reservation. Host said we would be next, as soon as a couple left. A couple of guys came in and greeted one of the servers. The couple left the table and the server went to seat her friends. The host stopped her and sat us. Kudos to the host. The other diners were very friendly, even offering tastes of their meal. I ordered gluten free king pao chicken. It was a bit heavy on celery and salt, and a bit light on chicken. But, it's been so long since I've had Chinese food, I didn't care. Super fresh food. We would definitely go back.
Incredibly impressed by Shu House. The authentic Chinese food is bursting with flavor, made with fresh ingredients, and even the simplest dishes are done exceptionally well. Prices are extremely good for the quality you get. The service is good too, with friendly staff adding to the positive experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving truly authentic Chinese food!
