Shang Noodle House - Richmond

I have randomly stumbled on and enjoyed this little hometown joint immensely. The spices are used generously and authentically. Not sure why the rating is low, but I would definitely come again if I am in town. The only downside is, they did not inform me that I have to spend $40 to use my credit card, but again, all the dishes are so reasonably priced.

I highly recommend this restaurant for its authentic Chengdu-style cuisine! The prices are reasonable, the service is good, the dining environment is decent, and the food is delicious. As a native of Chengdu, I give this restaurant my seal of approval!

This restaurant is fantastic and open to everyone. We tried Dan-Dan noodles, Xiao long bao, spicy wontons in hot oil, boiled peanuts, and sautéed greens. The food was top-notch, especially the Dan-Dan noodles which reminded me of my time in Chengdu. I highly recommend this place. The servers were also very friendly and welcoming. Great experience overall.

I don't understand all those bad reviews here. First of all, the food is great, love the numbing taste as it suppose to be. Second, the price is totally understandable, don't compete MacDonald with them, this is a restaurant! plus the waitress are so friendly. I will be back for sure! Forgot to take photo before we ate it all :

Took a gamble trying somewhere new, and unfortunately this one was a miss. Similar opinion to other bad reviews, the portion sizes were on the smaller side and most of the food had no flavour. Also very sparse with main ingredients (couldn't find any egg in the egg fried rice, and there were only green onions otherwise), as well as the beef inside our xiao long bao was so small. Honestly I don't want to sound mean but this food reminded me of like cafeteria food, or food from a truck stop area.
