Shang Cafe Fremont

"Excellent food that have different flavor profiles even when they are all spicy. We typically order to go and this time we were able to dine in and it's so much better! You get the nice presentation with dishes on top of flaming stands for the tofu and fried intestines. It feels like you get more food at the restaurant than to go as well. We came at dinner opening to grab a table and scanned the qr code at the table to start ordering. The waitress will come by to confirm your order and provide extra napkins. A water pitcher is available on the table. It's so hard to pick which dishes we liked best because they are all unique and taste so good. None of the spicy dishes were overpoweringly spicy but you do feel the numbing spicy slowly creep up as you keep eating. We got great contrasting dishes with the fried intestines opposite the intestines in the soup. The maoxuewang has a bunch of other items in it like fish, veggies, beef tripe, quail eggs and more. The mapo Tofu with pig brains has a silky soft and thicker quality than the soup based dish. Highly recommend!"

"Probably one of the best chinese places i have been to eat yet! I loved the pork belly!! I saw another table with a spicy chili dish and decided to order that too. It had a really good spice level! If your into spicy food then try that as well!!"

"Basic noodle shop with friendly, enthusiastic staff and delicious food. Their chili oil is great, has a complex and lovely flavor. I've only explored the lunches/for 1 menu myself, though I regularly see large parties here ordering table dishes. Very nice spot for solo lunch or a get-together."

"yum! the food here was super delicious and flavorful! i loved the fried rice"

"Traditional spicy Chinese food. Tho it's more numbing spicy than straight up hot/spicy. The hot & sour fish fillet and the rice chicken are too numb, they put too much numbing spices it took over the flavour, you can hardly taste the fish or chicken, just numbness. Some people might like it, I find it overwhelming. The fried rice and sliced potato on the other hand, are not spicy and tastes amazing. Service is good, Would definitely recommend."
