"Shàng Artisan Noodle elevates takeout noodle bowls with hand-pulled and knife-shaved noodles and bold broths that are worth waiting on the delivery driver for. Star dishes include the Shàng beef noodle — tender brisket in rich beef broth — and the dan-dan noodles tossed with minced pork, preserved veggie, and spicy soy. It’s all satisfyingly toothsome, and ideal for comforting bites on cozy nights in. Add sides of spicy wontons and cool cucumber salad." - Janna Karel
"The chefs at Shang Artisan Noodle pull springy noodles in an open kitchen as diners perch at counter seats (or sit at tables along the wall) with plates of Beijing duck, wonton soup, stir-fried tomato and scrambled egg with noodles, and chicken sesame cold noodles. According to the restaurant, the noodle technique comes from Shanxi, a landlocked northern province where wheat cultivation thrives. One standout here is the beef noodle soup — a spicy and super flavorful broth filled with tender bites of meat and firm and chewy hand-cut noodles." - Janna Karel
"Peek inside the open kitchen to watch as cooks at Shang Artisan Noodle meticulously knead, spin, and hand-pull tender and chewy noodles. The strands are then boiled for inclusion in pork and chicken broth with wontons and vegetables or tossed in spicy soy sauce with mixed pork. The right word to describe the overall flavor experience is succulent. Spoonfuls of broth, sauce-slathered noodles, and cool slices of cucumber are hugely impactful, complex in their nuanced dance of savory, sweet, and peppery. The beef noodle soup with braised brisket is the crowd favorite here — rivaled only by the juicy and flavorful spicy wontons. Must-try dish: Get the signature Shang Noodle beef soup — and order it spicy with thick, hand-pulled noodles that sop up the rich broth and errant slices of green onion." - Janna Karel

"The open kitchen runs lengthwise down this hole-in-the-wall restaurant, providing views of cooks as they meticulously knead, spin, and hand-pull tender and chewy noodles. Strands of frayed knife-cut noodles and long hand-pulled tendrils are a joy in any dish — sopping up spicy soy sauce with mixed pork. But in a spicy beef noodle soup, they’re revelatory — swirled beneath a glimmering broth teeming with bites of brisket and bok choy. Tip: Get in the virtual queue on Yelp so the table is ready when you arrive." - Janna Karel
