Shen Chang Restaurant

Been sitting here calling trying to place an order from 9pm till 9:25pm because their online ordering wouldn't work, and they literally would not answer and kept sending me to voicemail. Even waiting time in between cuz places get busy. When she finally answers, she says "we're closed, bye". F'in rude. Was hoping to try out a new Chinese place cuz I've heard good things. Guess I'll never know ‍

Classic Chinese cuisine. Even the ambience spoke to the traditional vibe of American Chinese restaurants. Friendly service as they checked in on me a few times. Thank you!

Service was terrific and the waitress was very good at making sure we had anything we needed. Service gets 5 stars easily! Unfortunately I can't say the same about the food. We got chicken Lo Mien and it was least eatable. Not terrible, but far from being great tasting. We also got the chicken Chow Mien to compare the taste between the Lo Mien and Chow Mien? Unfortunately the Chow Mien wasn't quite as good as the Lo Mien was. It was eatable, but I never want to eat it again! We got the Ginger Beef and the beef with Oysters sauce. Unfortunately again the food wasn't good at all, in fact this was far nasty tasting then the Chow Mien even! Btw, these last orders we got to go and tried eating them at home. Neither my partner or I could stomach either one of these dishes. We also got fried shrimp and BBQ pork. Neither of these were very good either sadly. We ended up feeding the shrimp and BBQ PORK to our dogs and the dogs and the rest of the beef with oyster sauce and Ginger Beef went to our chickens to eat. Since we just couldn't eat any of it ourselves.Unfortunately still haven't found a descent Chinese restaurant anywhere around Camas or Vancouver, Wa.. We're spoiled I guess from the restaurant we have eaten at in Portland. Unfortunately a few of our favorite restaurants in Portland went out of business with the Pandemic destroying a lot of businesses not being able to service customers back then. Only a few that could make the change to order food for take out survive it seems! Fortunately our favorite Chinese restaurant in Portland survived that's near 181st and Division st. Called Lee's Garden. I really wish the Restaurants around Camas and Vancouver would learn to make better tasting food. When we go to Lee's, we buy a lot of Chinese food and bring a lot of it home to eat thru out the week. Not unusual for us to spend $300.00-$350.00 or more sometimes just on Chinese food at Lee's Garden alone! Make it worth the trip since it's a little bit of a drive over there from where we live closer to Fern Prairie! If restaurants around Camas and Vancouver had descent quality good tasting food. Then we spend more of our money in town. Only Resturant we found in the Camas area that's worth eating is a couple Thai restaurants or Pizza not too bad at a couple places. Although no one will ever beat Flying Pie pizza over in Portland off Stark st and roughly 88th ave. But Leanardo's pizza here in Camas not a bad choice for 2nd place! I hate leaving bad reviews, especially when the service from a waitress was top notch service to say the least! But I have to be honest and I hate to mislead anyone making the food sound better than it is! Another thing I notice with all the different dishes we got and brought home. All the dishes had the veggies cut very large as if it was Chow Yuk style and personally I don't care for chow yuk large vegetables. The beef with oyster sauce really didn't have any oyster sauce like I expected to see and taste. Overall it was on the bland side. We're use to Lee's Oyster Beef that's just drenched in the oyster sauce and it's got a delicious beefy flavor added into the oyster sauce too! Sadly, I'm not likely to go back to this Resturant again in the future since other then the service the rest wasn't a pleasant experience for our taste buds nor our tummies! My hopes is this Resturant among others around Camas and Vancouver will look into better recipes and work on making more delicious food where customers would enjoy coming back! Best of luck to them!

Ordered delivery yesterday and was some of the worst Chinese food we've ever had. Will start with the good: Packaged well, everything was separate so that nothing got soggy and the pork fried rice was really good.Now the bad. Sesame chicken is not what you'd expect from any other Chinese restaurant. It's sweet and sour sauce and a bag of sesame seeds. The chow mein tastes like old chicken noodle soup and the egg rolls are stuffed with I think the same chow mein (they were kind of soupy). They gave us free spring rolls, which normally would be a great thing but they were also gross.The only thing edible was the pork and we decided to make our own sauce to throw the chicken in.

Despite having lived in Vancouver for the past 5 years, I had never actually stopped at this place. I drive by it all the time and it always looked really fun from the outside. But after moving to vancouver, I had found a Chinese restaurant that would deliver to my house and was closer, so for a while that was the only place I went.But then covid-19 happened. And the former place quit delivering to my home. I initially found this place on GrubHub but really don't like to utilize GrubHub unless I have to do the prices in the food not always showing up hot...so I figured I'd go old school and call in an order and pick it up in person.Before I go into what I ordered, I'd like to wax poetic briefly about Americanized Chinese food. I think you'll find that a lot of Chinese food places have lower Yelp ratings and they tend to have very polarized reviews. People either love the way they do it, or they hate the way they do it. And I believe this is because Americanized Chinese food is so hyper-regional in what is considered normal for takeout. For example, growing up in the southern part of the United states, it wasn't uncommon to see crawfish on a Chinese food menu or bourbon chicken. On the East Coast, General Tso is often called General Gao, ect. And even in the Pacific northwest, the same names are used for dishes that come out very differently from different kitchens. I say this, because a lot of reviews for this place are hyperspecific like that. People complaining that food is spicy for example. Posting pictures of what they believe sesame chicken should look like versus what they got etc. I think what I'm saying is that for a cuisine that at its core was adapted to American pallettes, it's not surprising to see such a wide view. That being said, I have eaten Chinese food all over the United States and parts of Canada and I really really enjoyed this place.If your order is over $38, they throw in a treat! Free crab rangoons. The crab rangoons were crispy and well fried without being too greasy. The cream cheese had a good flavor and wasn't too sweet.I ordered the house fried rice. I usually start off at a new place with house fried rice because despite being a very simple dish, a lot of places don't pull it off very well. Shen Chang pulled it off extremely well. For the price, there was a significant amount of fried rice. The proteins in the rice were large and juicy, and the rice was well seasoned without being one note.My partner ordered the Mongolian chicken. I generally dislike Mongolian chicken at most places as it is often extremely sweet. That was not the case here! When we opened the dish, a smell of chicken and black pepper wafted out and I was honestly surprised. The chicken had a little bit of spice to it and the sauce was very flavorful! We also ordered the pot stickers as an appetizer and they were very large and the dipping sauce was very good. I have to say that this will be my new go to Chinese place. Give it a shot. I can't wait until the interior opens again so I can check out the lounge.

Super nice staff. Good portions for the money. Good food. Convenient location. Not a whole lot of parking but we usually order to go.

Been 20 years since I last ate here. It did not disappoint. Huge portions and good food. Service was fast. Dining room was vintage and clean.

The service has always been very friendly and welcoming. The food is good and plenty for leftovers the next day. Dining in was nice, with the service being very attentive. Takeout is easy as well.

Honestly voting it bad because I KNOW this place has 1/10 quality and I don't want to order it again. Give another place a try. Leftovers the next day literally disintegrate in your mouth. Disappointing and won't be back.

Shen Chang is our families favorite! The portions last us for a couple of days, always quick service and delicious food!
