Shan China Bistro and Bar

You have been warned I've been dinning here with family and friends for two years since moving to the are. I really noticed food and service was going down hill my last 3-4 visit. I the server to remove an item from the table that I found off the flavor of the item was possibly spoiled. Instead of the server asking me if I wanted another plate or if I wanted it removed from my he took the plate, set it down on the table and proceeded to eat The next words out of his mouth word this is fine what's wrong with it explain is it too hot is it too sweet? Is it too sour? I told him I have ordered the same item numerous times and it didn't taste like it did today and I don't want it. I don't like it. I'm not eating it!After this last visit, I've conclusion. I will no longer be dining here having off day is one thing or time is another thing but to be questioned repeatedly is unacceptable in my book.

I finally visited here after driving by it a few times and noticed they have decent reviews on Yelp. We tried several items, including the eggplant, pork intestine, spicy chicken cubes, tofu, pork ribs, fried rice, and lo mein.The spicy chicken is not quite as spicy as other restaurants that serve a similar dish. It does have some ginger and whole peanuts in it, which makes it a little different. The lo mein is pretty standard.The pig intestine is a weird dish that has sort of a pungent taste. I mainly ate the onions, jalapeños and bell peppers within this dish.The fried tofu may have been the least liked dish on the table. Slathered in sweet n sour sauce. It's just a weird combination.The fried rice, pork ribs, and eggplant are pretty standard dishes with not a lot of standout. Overall, the service is friendly, and I like the orange cucumber and grape flavored water that is served at each table.

Excellent food. We ordered through door dash. The Singapore vermicelli was excellent. Great flavor and a nice amount of curry. The dry fried beans were garlicky and had the right amount of firmness. The sesame shrimp were huge and very flavorful. We have leftovers for days.

I have not eaten at Shan before even though it is right across RR620 from my office.Great looking menu with a huge selection of item. Waiter was efficient and quickly took my drink and food order. Within 10 minutes I had my entree on the table. I ordered the Chongquig Style Spice Beef. The order was large and I took home 2/3rds of it. Great flavor and good spice level. I would definitely order it again. Shan is on 'My Keepers List'.

Service was horrible from the minute we walked in the door. We were greeted by a coughing, sneezing server. The portions were large, but once they dropped the very mediocre food off we never saw them again. I ordered "broccoli and chicken" The broccoli had brown marks on all of their stems as was not appetizing. I was so disappointed. All the employees were eating lunch and we had to call someone over to get our check. We will not be returning. The idea of an employee who was coughing and sneezing on our food was very uncomfortable.

Shan is a gem in the Lakeway / Bee Cave neighborhood. The food is extremely flavorful and service is adequate and fast. Special call outs are egg fried rice, spicy wantons, diced chicken with chillies (the best), cumin lamb, ginger chicken and chicken lo mein (incredible)...definitely recommend

Christmas dinner. Tried for a reservation, but was told they don't they don't take reservations, but not too busy. Walked in. Three occupied tables. We were told it would be at least an hour and a half to get food. What? Too many takeout orders. Decide. Are you a lunch counter or a restaurant

Just a short walk from my hotel and I found a gem, Shan China Bistro.Chinese food is usually not my go to, but dang glad it was tonight.I went early (6pm), there was no wait and was seated and served quickly.I had the sweet and sour soup, an egg roll and orange chicken.If I go again, not sure I would change anything. It was all good!The restaurant looked clean, and the service was excellent.When in Lakeway, go to Shan!Go get Full

So so good. Great menu and great service.Really enjoyed their food!! Chicken and cilantro and happy family both amazing!!

Had dinner with a friend at Shan last night and the 2 dishes we had were terrible! They were fried to a point that all that was left of the chicken and beef was meat fiber and crust.Service was utilitarian at best and the dining room was lit up brighter than a gas station at night!Never going back!
