We ordered the pickled vegetables pork belly hot pot and the cha jang mein noodles. The shrimp and meat and everything was good on the cha jang mein. Not amazing though. For a dish that is only sauce and noodles, I wanted a bit more punch to the sauce. I have never had authentic cha Jane mein though, so that's just my opinion. The hot pot vegetables and pork was good. The fact that they were cooking when we got them meant that more of the pickled flavor came out over time.

My family went there for birthday dinners this weekend. They have very spicy dishes, but their website mentioned that they would accommodate dietary needs. As I have a hiatal hernia and high blood pressure, we chose Shang over a similar restaurant. They made good on their word! I had a tame shrimp fried rice while my family enjoyed spicier choices. We made a reservation and were seating promptly. The place was full, but we were not rushed at all. The only negative thing I have to say is that the dishes came out one by one with some time in between. Judging from the clientele, the food must be very authentic! Lots of slurping!

Ordered take out. -Cha Jang Mein (Black bean sauce noodles):This was delicious with thick chunks of pork, shrimp, zucchini, cucumber & crunchy onion. Comfort food at its best. Very good but not the best I've had.-Northern style sweet & sour pork chop:If I was dining in, I would return this dish. It was completely tasteless. It wasn't edible until I added leftover Mc Donald's sweet & sour sauce to it. Zero seasoning. Not even salted.

Very nice place and soothing decorations. The staff are wonderful and thoughtful. The food was very good ... just a little salty for some dishes like the beef noodle soup and a bit oily. Other than that the food tasted good and the atmosphere was really nice. There's street parking and on Sundays it's free. The downtown Evanston area is very nice also. Great area.

Very closed to Wholefoods and the Northwestern University campus. Their food quality is absolutely beyond average. We order a Taiwanese beef noodles soup. It serves with at least 5 or 6 pieces of beef which is tender and juicy. The noodles are soft and full of flavor in the soup. Not too salty. Wood-ear salad is a must: flavor in vinegar and garlic and open your appetite. Seafood soup is also tasty and serves with a heating device for at least 20 minutes, which makes the seafood soup very very hot.Our waiter is a bit weird that he comes and bing in stuffs totally silently, without saying anything. We feel we are invisible.

I was feeling hungover and sick and decided I deserved better than instant ramen yet again so I ordered the Taiwanese beef noodle soup and this is that exact feeling of someone who loves you making you soup but you don't need someone who loves you and is available and also good at making soup.

I've been to Shang Noodle many times. The food is good and prices match the quality. Service is average. Why the 3 stars? I dined in tonight and everything was expected. They use Toast as their check out system. And you pay directly on the handheld machine which is good and bad. Good because you control your credit card. Bad because you don't see the sub-total, only post-tax and the tip pre-calculation percentages are set post-tax. Tip should NOT be post-tax! I mentioned this to the server and his reaction was smug and dismissive. He knew. His reaction did not sit well with me. They just lost a regular customer!

What a great place to have some authentic delicious Chinese/Taiwanese food, in the heart of downtown Evanston. Whether you're a student, or not, definitely take the trek to Evanston to Shang Noodle & Chinese, where the food won't disappoint, the service great, and the overall dining experience being top-notched.We order the famous Jjajangmyeon (Noodles in blackbean sauce) which if you look at Yelp, there are dozens of photos of it; a crowd pleaser for sure. If you're looking for a great chicken dish, with jam-packed flavor, spice, and the perfect breading, definitely try out the dry red-chilli chicken. We topped off the fantastic meal with some pork belly soup.Our server was great... letting us two, pull together two tables, due to the amount of food we ordered. Our waters were filled constantly, and we were checked-up on several times.BATHROOM REVIEW: There is a mens and womens private bathroom. In the mens, it was extremely clean and spacious and contained a urinal, toilet, and even a chair to chill at, if you're all about having a conversation in the bathroom, or just wanted to lounge in a bathroom. No judgment here. Well, judgment with the bathrooms, as that's what I do. Sit or squat? Sit!

Shang Noodle and Chinese is hands down the best spot for authentic Chinese food in the area. Their dry pot sizzling crispy chicken is a must-try--packed with flavor and perfectly crispy. If you're craving real Chinese cuisine, this is the place to go!

Seated immediately. Wide variety of menu options. Fried noodle (seafood) platter was excellent! And excellent General Tsao chicken. Service was good. No alcoholic drinks.
