Shang Noodle House

We all have our favourite places to eat Chinese food. However when hosting a wedding reception at a Chinese restaurant with a large group? You do it at Kirin. Due to Covid-19 restrictions one needs to be masked and not mingle at the tables. Food was also served to us in portions even though it was between family members. However this is Covid, so precautions must be taken. The food was good, but to some it was new and certain things were untouched. It wasn't because it was bad. The diner was used not used to what was being presented. Lots of parking was available here as compared to the one on Cambie.

I was craving for noodles and decided to try this place. As I walked in, it was a spacious restaurant. The server passed one to another and pointed at a table for me to sit. It was fine. Typical Chinese restaurant service I thought. And I ordered a combo special, the timing was a little longer than expected. It came in about 15 min or so. The deep fried wonton was more burned. And the noodle was not how I expected in taste wise. It was like food from a Chinese restaurant in a small town. Hot and sour soup was not hot at all. The quality is questionable. And once the food was delivered, you would just get left at the table until you asked for the check. I still have t two star because overall it doesn’t disgust me. It’s just not up to good standards of a restaurant by the casino.

Looks like there was a change of ownership. The menu had changed. I was there an hour before closing time and the spinach ramen with barbecue duck was sold out. The steam dumpling quite big was very good. I ended up ordering wontun soup which was steaming hot with broccoli and corn and noodle also satisfying. Service pretty good.

Food is average/below average. Had a hard time finding the “7 types” of mushrooms in the Red Reishi Mushroom Ramen. Average taste. Sounds more special than it actually is. Portion is huge because it is like 90% noodles. Someone ordered the Squid Ink Noodle meal and the whole squid was inedible. So overcooked. In hindsight, we should have asked for a replacement as all we could eat was the tiny noodle and salad portion. Service is average/below average. We asked a waitress for lemon slices specifically for squeezing on the salad We had to specify because I guess it was an unusual request?. She gave us two thin slices clearly destined for typical HK lemon tea. Why even bother giving us those slices when you can’t even squeeze such thin slices? She said that was all they had. Kind of hard to believe.

Pretty tasty noodles and decent service. Love that they have vegetarian options. Bubble tea was pretty good too. Big portions.

The noodles are hand pulled and the texture comes through nicely. The combos offer a nice preset meal for a good price. We ordered xiaolongbaos, but they were quite big, more like da long baos ask your Chinese speaking friends, it's funny. The wonton noodle soup were really good.

They are not open. Don't know when they are reopen.

Soups is good. Got31 but not enough broth. Went dry half way eating it. Service is ok

I am a regular at Shang's noodles and love going there. Their servers are always friendly and helpful, especially Ken, who is always attentive and provides wonderful services. The restaurant is always clean and has comfortable seating. Food is consistent, always delicious and hearty. Their Hong Kong style milk tea is also one of the best in town. This restaurant will continue to be my go to place for delicious hearty meals.

Friendly staff, very clean for an asian eatery . Majority of the time, pending on the menu selections...there is little wait time. For the deep fried meats, expect a delay. Noodle soup portions are generous. Usually the wait staff are very attentive especially with refilling our tea cups. During busy times and the odd not so busy, its difficult to wave them down. Despite these minor flaws, we still go back. We love the broth. Tasty!!
