Food is generally very good here. The hands made noodles are the best if you can get it. We ordered the sesame paste hand stretched noodles and they were delicious and flavorful. We also ordered the pork chow main. It was good but this time I found that it was a bit salty. I've been visiting this place for years and I'm bummed that they got rid of the Shan Dong steamed meat and vegetables buns. They were so good! Wish they brought it back.

I must have accidentally deleted my images, but I loved my experience here. The noodles felt home-made, and the garlic eggplant is the best. Highly recommended, but was crowded when we arrived without a reservation, so plan ahead accordingly!

Excellent green beans. Delicious, crunchy salt & paper prawns. Shan Dong beef very good too. Prok chow mein good but noodles were a little too salty for me.

I'm lucky to have a really good friend in Oakland, and on top of that, they live close to Shan Dong. Everytime we visit, it's a guarantee that we'll eat here. If I could pack Shan Dong in my suitcase and take it back to Tennessee, I would. Stop reading the comments and just go there. If there's a wait, it's more than worth it. What a treat this place is!

Popular Chinese restaurant known for their regional cuisine. The food is flavorful with plenty of good options and dumplings. They have affordable prices and the food is brought out quickly. They have a small dining space so at times, you may need to wait to enter.
