"I love going to or even just ordering from Shan. Everything is fantastic (although I especially love their dan dan noodles). We usually share the Pork Dumplings in Chill Oil, the Ma-La Szechuan Wonton, Shrimp Dumplings, Pork Soup Dumpling, Crab Roe Soup Dumpling, Sweet & Spicy Udon, and Sliced pork belly w. mustard green."

"I’ve come here on regular days but more recently visited for the restaurant week menu. I was surprised at the amount of food and variety provided for $60. It also included 2 cocktails which I enjoyed (which is surprising since I don’t usually enjoy alcohol). Higher quality and slightly more expensive than Han Dynasty but worth the fresh flavors. Lots of Szechuan dishes."

"What an incredible Szechuan dining experience! The restaurant has a modern and cozy interior. The flavors were amazing—perfectly balanced spice and not overly numbing or greasy. Standout dishes during our visit included the Chongqing chicken, cumin beef, garlic pea shoots, and the squid dry pot. The restaurant also offers a variety of fantastic cocktail options, and our lychee martini was delightful."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this place. Great atmosphere and friendly service but most importantly the food is authentic and delicious. We had the Sichuan wantons, dry hotpot and beef with green cayenne and all was excellent. The also offer a nice selection of cocktails which were nice."

"Nice food and friendly staff :) I and my husband visited to this place at Halloween weekend. Actually we are on the way to the ramen restaurant nearby but when we saw the sign of this restaurant, we are very tempted to try this place. The atmosphere was very nice and the server was very kind. Their decoration was cute, too. I usually don't prefer to eat Chinese food (my hubby loves Chinese food) but all the food we ordered was amazing. We had hot and spicy soup and Dan dan noodle as the appetizer which were very nice. We also got fried rice with duck, pork dish(I don't remember the pork dish's name but it was my favorite) and fish dry pot(spicy). All of it was very nice. We both were satisfied. The cocktail menu is really good. We can see the drawings of all the cocktails on the menu board so it made us easy to choose the cocktail. One thing I hope they could change is the cleaning spray. When people left they clean up the table right after(which is good) but the space between tables is narrow so you can smell the cleaning spray easily and it was quite strong. Overall it was very nice experience."
