Shang Cafe Fremont

Traditional spicy Chinese food. Tho it's more numbing spicy than straight up hot/spicy.

The hot & sour fish fillet and the rice chicken are too numb, they put too much numbing spices it took over the flavour, you can hardly taste the fish or chicken, just numbness. Some people might like it, I find it overwhelming.

The fried rice and sliced potato on the other hand, are not spicy and tastes amazing.

Service is good, Would definitely recommend.

We often passed this restaurant and decided to try it on Saturday. We arrived at 11am and promptly seated. It became more crowded at lunch time at noon. We ordered wonton in spicy sauce, dan dan noodle (not spicy version) & spicy noodle. The foos came out pretty fast. Me and hubby love the spicy wonton. It had mala/numbing pepper in the sauce. The noodle was firm round noodle which we like. Me & hubby likes both noodle. I knocked down one star as the price was a bit expensive for the portion we got.

Flavor and tastes are authentic, good for sharing friend and family, personally think all the food are too salty you must have steam rice with is and a cup of rice is expensive $2, the rest of the food price are fine

I ordered online for snakehead fish in green peppers soup but the stuff might packed wrong. I got beef instead. When I called them, they lady who picked the phone was super nice and refunded me right away. I’ve been order from this place for several times. They took longer to get food ready than other places because they are busy all the time. The food is always delicious so it worth it.

Both food and service are great. Cold noodle is full of flavor, if you are good with the spiciness. Fish in the soup is fresh and tender. Will come again!
