Let me tell you about the Spicy Beef Noodles at Shang Noodle - they’re absolutely phenomenal! The moment the bowl arrived at my table, the aroma of rich, savory broth filled the air. The tender beef slices practically melted in my mouth, while the hand-pulled noodles had that perfect chewy texture that noodle lovers dream about.

The Kung Pao Chicken here is a revelation - it’s everything this classic dish should be and more. The chicken is incredibly tender and juicy, coated in a perfectly balanced sauce that’s both sweet and savory with just the right amount of heat. What really impressed me were the crunchy peanuts and the subtle kick from the dried chilies that weren’t overwhelmingly spicy but added incredible depth. Each bite was a perfect harmony of textures and flavors that had me going back for more. This isn’t your average takeout Kung Pao - this is the real deal that will make you fall in love with this dish all over again.

I have to share my excitement about their Egg Foo Young - it’s a dish that often gets overlooked, but Shang Noodle has elevated it to star status. The fluffy egg omelette was packed with fresh bean sprouts, tender shrimp, and savory pork, creating this incredible texture combination in every forkful. What really made it special was the rich, brown gravy poured over the top - it added this umami-packed moisture that tied everything together beautifully. It felt like comfort food at its finest, yet sophisticated enough to impress any food lover looking for authentic Chinese flavors.

We ordered the Twice Cooked Pork Belly, Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, and Lamb and fish hotpot. Overall, the only thing we would reorder is the Taiwanese Beef…

Great food that works for individual plates and family style. The service is good and fast. It’s small but that makes it feel more cozy.

After visiting Chicago for a few days and having my share of pizza and hotdogs, I was craving some Chinese cuisine. I honestly stumbled across this…
