Went into a seemingly modest establishment, looking for lunch. Was fully blown away by the quality of the food. Being it was my first time there, I hadn’t given much thought into how it was gonna be. Believe me, there’s nothing better than finding good food at a good price. The place had a calming feel to it as well.

This place was amazing, easily one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been at. The service was superb. The staff was super nice, and we got our food in about 5 minutes, which was one of the fastest serving times I’ve ever had. Every single dish we tried tasted great, and there was nearly no leftovers. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I recently dined at Shan Shan Low restaurant and had a fantastic experience! The Chinese food was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. We ordered egg fried rice, vegetable chow mein, Mongolian beef, and chicken with tofu, all of which were savory and delicious.
While the restaurant has an older appearance, it is quite spacious and comfortable. The staff was nice and friendly, making our visit even more enjoyable. There’s plenty of parking available, and the location is great! I highly recommend Shan Shan Low and look forward to returning with friends and family.

Shan Shan Low Restaurant is one of those rare places that quietly wins you over from the very first bite. Tucked away like a hidden treasure, this Chinese eatery manages to combine traditional flavors, generous portions, and warm hospitality in a way that keeps you thinking about your next visit long before you’ve even finished your meal.
The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a comforting blend of sizzling aromas—garlic hitting a hot wok, freshly steamed dumplings, and fragrant spices drifting through the air. The restaurant has a familiar, inviting ambiance: not overly fancy, but clean, cozy, and clearly run by people who pour heart and soul into their food.
The Menu & The Food
Shan Shan Low has a menu that hits all the classics but also offers dishes you don’t always find at standard Chinese restaurants. The variety is impressive, and the execution is even better.
Their crispy orange chicken is a standout—perfectly fried without being greasy, with a glaze that’s sweet, tangy, and just citrusy enough to brighten every bite. The beef chow fun is rich, smoky, and packed with that perfect wok-char flavor that’s hard to find unless the chefs really know what they’re doing. The noodles are silky, the beef tender, and the vegetables crisp.
If you’re a dim sum lover, their pork dumplings and shrimp shumai are absolute must-tries. They’re delicately wrapped, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The hot and sour soup has the ideal balance—spicy enough to warm you up, sour enough to make you crave another spoonful, and full of mushrooms, tofu, and bamboo shoots instead of being a thin broth like you get at lesser places.
The house fried rice deserves a review of its own. Every grain is perfectly separated, never mushy, and generously loaded with fresh vegetables, egg, and your choice of protein. Their Kung Pao chicken packs just the right kick, with crunchy peanuts and vegetables that maintain their snap.
If seafood is your thing, the salt and pepper shrimp is addictive—lightly battered, seasoned beautifully, and cooked so well that the shells practically melt away. The fish fillet with black bean sauce is another gem: savory, aromatic, and cooked to a tender flakiness.
Service & Atmosphere
One thing that sets Shan Shan Low apart is the service. The staff is attentive without being overbearing. They’re quick with refills, happy to make recommendations, and incredibly accommodating if you have dietary preferences or questions about the dishes. There’s a sense of genuine hospitality here—like they’re proud of what they serve and want you to enjoy every part of your meal.
The atmosphere is relaxed, family-friendly, and welcoming. Whether you’re dropping in for a casual lunch, ordering takeout, or sitting down for a big family dinner, you always feel comfortable and taken care of.
Value
Portions are large enough to share (or enjoy as delicious leftovers later), but prices are more than reasonable. Quality-wise, you’re getting food that tastes homemade but executed with professional skill—fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and consistent cooking.
Overall
Shan Shan Low Restaurant is one of those places that reminds you why you love Chinese cuisine. It’s flavorful, generous, comforting, and thoughtfully prepared. Every dish feels like it has its own story, and you can tell the chefs cook with intention rather than just following recipes.
Whether you’re in the mood for a simple bowl of noodles, a hearty family-style dinner, or a feast of multiple courses, this place does not disappoint. It’s the kind of restaurant you visit once and then immediately add to your regular rotation.
If you haven’t been to Shan Shan Low yet, treat yourself. Come hungry, bring friends or family if you can, and prepare to leave full, happy, and with a new favorite spot for Chinese food.
If you want, I can also adjust the review to be funnier, more formal, shorter, or tailored for Yelp, Google, or social media.

First timer here at this restaurant, but definitely no stranger to Chinese cuisine or dining experience.
Service is fast and friendly, and more attentive than other similar restaurants.
Menu is pretty standard. Flavors generally vary between restaurants, obviously, this one having a more southern Chinese flare.
We had potstickers (not my favorite – thin skin and a bit soggy), chicken chao mein (tasty), Mongolian beef (excessively salty), and curry chicken (tasty).
The soup and spring rolls at the beginning were good. Crispy spring rolls with a sweet/sour dipping sauce.
Price is about standard as well.

$60 after tip for five items. Overall, not mind blowing or disappointed. Would probably give it a 3.5-4 if it was about $10 less in total.
Chow fun – Very bland
Mixed veggies (mushroom/bok Choi) – tasty, little pricey for what it is.
Broccoli beef – about as standard and acceptable as you can imagine
Dan Dan noodles – Spicy, pretty decent. Not too much meat.
Mandarin Fried Chicken – Probably the best out of the meal. Tasty and crispy. They are smart enough to send it out in a to-go box with a hole in the top to release the steam and reduce some of the sogginess effect.

We’ve loved Shan Shan Low forever. The honey wanut shrimp had amazingly succulent prawns, a delicate yet crunchy coating, and light and delicious glaze.

Been coming here for 17 years. This place and food has not changed (in a good way). I always get the salt & pepper pork chops and they are always excellent. Service is quick.

This is based solely on the medium sized hot and sour soup. Not the best I’ve had but pretty decent. Lots of bamboo shoots, and tofu that make it filling. Definitely could have used more meat. The soup base is warm from what I believe is heavy use of black pepper. I love black pepper so I enjoy this flavor. Consistency of the soup is good. Would for sure get again
