Ok. This is going to be super short because:
#1 Three of us ate all these dishes and we all agreed about them
#2 All of the dishes were amazing
#3 The service from Vivi, her husband and the chefs was something like out of a movie it was so good
#4 I predict there will be a line at this restaurant like you’ve never seen before because it’s so good
Vivi, one of the owners, greeted my two friends and I as we sat down, brought water and this potato noodle dish which is unlike anything I have ever had before. The texture and perfect seasoning. Along with their housemade chili oil… oh my.
Chili oil wontons? They make the noodle wrapping for the wonton there!!! Like we were in some big city! Filled with pork I believe and covered with the chili oil, absolute perfection. I could eat 50 of them easily.
House beef roll is another dish I have never seen before. Probably my least liked dish, but we’re talking an 8/10 vs 9/10 or 10/10. It was like a Chinese sliced beef burrito! What??
Spicy minced pork noodles - both with their flat noodles and round noodles. They make their OWN NOODLES!!! They stretch them in front of the whole dining room when an order is made!!! FREAKING AMAZING! The noodles are the star of the show, but the proportions of the toppings fits so well with the amount of noodles. I would have loved more of the numbing Sichuan/Szechuan pepper but that is something you really need to know about before eating, so I think they’re playing it safe for the white peeps.
Beef Bone Noodle soup - Oh, my. The rib must have been cooked for 6-8 hours easily. It fell off the bone, but still had a bite to it. Not too much salt or extraneous seasoning because you can add soy sauce, vinegar and chili oil at the table to your liking. I ate the whole thing and I didn’t feel full, I felt satiated.
Braised pork belly noodle - Well, the pork belly was cooked to perfection. Tender, juicy, beautiful. Holy moly.
I visited a high end Taiwanese restaurant in Century City called Din Tai Fung a year and a half ago and the food at Shake Shake was just as good, if not superior to Din Tai Fung. Yes, I know Taiwanese cuisine and the various styles of Chinese cuisine are not the same, but they take the same extraordinary amount of skill and love to do it properly.
Shake Shake is gonna shake the county up - seriously good food and I will be back many times to come!
I don't normally post on google for food reviews, but this place is SO good, I want to them thrive and succeed here.
