Absolutely loved our meal at Shang Noodles -- this place is a hidden gem that hits every mark for flavor, freshness, and authenticity. The service was friendly and attentive and the ambiance was modern and quaint.
We started with the scallion pancake, and it was perfectly crisp on the outside, tender and chewy inside. It paired beautifully with their dipping sauce, which added a savory depth without overpowering the pancake's delicate flavor.
The edamame was simple, lightly salted and steamed to perfection -- a refreshing, clean bite that prepped us well for the more indulgent dishes.
From the dim sum selection, the har gau and siu mai were both exquisite. The har gau had that ideal translucent skin with juicy shrimp inside, bursting with flavor. The siu mai were plump, meaty, and expertly seasoned -- no skimping on quality here.
We also couldn't resist the soup dumplings, which were small and not too soupy but had great flavor.
And don't sleep on the sauteed string beans -- they were crisp, blistered, and beautifully seasoned with garlic and a hint of spice. They somehow manage to be both a veggie side and a standout dish in their own right.
Altogether, Shang Noodles delivered a knockout meal that was thoughtfully prepared and full of bold, authentic flavors.
