Enjoyed the food so much! Fast service and very flavorful dishes! Now need to go back and try more options!

The freshest prawn and cleanest dry pot you’ll ever have. It’s like you can taste every single ingredient used! I am in love with their mapo tofu too!

My absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in NYC, hands down. Not only is their menu fantastic (has all the classic sichuan dishes), service is friendly, the drinks and dessert are phenomenal and the ambience is the cherry on top. Their chongqing chicken, chicken and pepper stir fry and cabbage are my go tos. It is also hard to find a place that has traditional ice jelly desserts like they do and it’s such a perfect way to end a spicy meal.

One of our favorite restaurants, Shan never disappoints! We've been here 10+ times. Our go-tos are the dan dan noodles, scallion pancakes (so crispy!), lamb dry pot, and snow pea shoots. The wintermelon ice tea is delicious too although a little expensive. We also tried the chongqing chicken (crispy and spicy) and szechuan wontons recently which were yummy too. They do charge tip on the amount including tax for the preset percentages, which isn't great (usually I just do 20%).

Came here for Restaurant Week - what a perfectly balanced and rich menu (pre-fix menu also includes a glass of wine and a cocktail). We had XO Sauce Oyster Mushroom and Fresh Squid w/Garlic and Chili Oil for appetizer (very flavorful); perfectly tender and juicy Pork Soup Dumplings (black truffle and pork roe); Lychee Kung Pao Crispy Pork and Braised Beef w/Abalone in Tomato Sauce for entrée (hearty portions and great taste); Sweet & Sour Cabbage and Snow Pea Shoots w/Garlic for vegetable (the best part of the meal! fresh, yummy and such a symphony of tastes!) and Yuzu Coconut Cotta and Osmanthus Ice Jelly for dessert (just the right amount of sweetness and fun texture!) - everything was up to par! Service was very delicate and attentive, and the whole atmosphere quite nice. I’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of Szechuan cuisine.

Went to celebrate lunar new year and opted for the restaurant week menu for dinner. For $60, it’s an amazing deal. So much food which also comes with two alcohol beverages. I ordered an extra cocktail, nutty fashioned, which was delicious. Everything we ordered was tasty. This restaurant was really busy and totally understand that there were times where dishes were missing or came out really late, esp given it was lunar new year. The server was the friendliest person and was so positive the entire night. It was a long dinner that lasted close to 3 hours but was so worth it. Definitely recommend their Szechuan dishes and soup dumplings!

We went here for dinner. It was very busy, so we sat at the bar. The layout is a typical NYC street restaurant. The food was awesome, as well as the services. We truly enjoyed our dining experience there. The waiters and waitresses seem all in their 20s, very enthusiastic on what they do and very friendly, always with a smile! The dishes are more on the Sichuan style but they all spoke Cantonese and Mandarin. They are a creative set of drinks, a bit pricy but perhaps normal in NYC. We ordered a shrimp dish and the waiter considerately asked us if we prefer to peel the shrimp shells off before cook them. We really appreciate it. The spicy chicken was also really good. Highly recommended!

Shan was a very cute and quaint restaurant. The moment we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted with a mouthwatering fragrance of Chinese food. The staff were very nice and welcoming! The level of service here was top-notch, we didn’t even have to ask the staff to refill our water - the moment our water was running low, the staff came and replaced the water jug! The soup dumplings were soo good! The dumpling wrappers were handmade and thin, showcasing the expertise of their chefs in the back. The soup and the filling were so flavorful that I did not need much vinegar at all! The spicy cumin lamb was quite spicy - a little too spicy for my tastebuds, but it smelled incredible! If you have a low spice tolerance, I would avoid this dish or ask for less spice. The stringbeans were so delicious! We demolished the plate of stringbeans. It was so flavorful and full of umami! The taste was so addicting and we couldn’t help ourselves from eating more and more! The beef noodle soup was really tender and warms you right up, with just the right amount of spice. The desserts were so delicious as well! I personally loved the ice lychee jelly! It was not too sweet and the foam on top reminded me of a very light icecream! The rice cakes were yummy as well - but they tend to stick to your teeth, so just a word of caution there! Overall, the experience here was great! It would be a cute spot to bring someone on a date!

Tasty sichuan spot in the neighborhood. The cocktail was a nice surprise. Great service. I will definitely come back next time when I crave for spicy food.

Everything is great except the Tofu fish is a bit too sour for my taste. Highly recommend the dumplings,noodles and fried rice. Very authentic Sichuan style. It makes me feel at home:)

Food and cocktails were delicious, staff were so fantastic. Especially loved the dry pot. Only downside was we felt like the 4 seater tables/chairs were a little too tight for us to sit comfortably in and were pretty small people.

It’s our 2nd time there, the food was delicious. unfortunately, the dish and tofu dishes we ordered were tasted a bit sour, we thought that’s the way it was. When we got home, we were having diarrhea and kept going to the bathroom for the rest of the night. Normally this will be a red flag that I would never eat there again.

Today I was feeling Chinese food then I found this online but here's what I thought about it. So my friend and I went and we got The kung Pao chicken, scallion pancakes,wontons and broth, pork pot stickers Xiao long bao and rice. I'm gonna start off with the best, so my favorite was the Scallion pancakes, they tasted like traditional Chinese scallion pancakes, they were flakey not fried too much and not oily so overall I give them a 9/10. Now the pork potstickers they were basically like regular gaozi they were pretty good so I give them a 7/10 not the best but not the worst. Then the wontons and broth, in my opinion they could be more flavorful for my taste but it tastes much like traditional wontons in soup so I give it a 7.5/10. Now the Xiao Long Bao, they were honestly pretty good they were pretty flavorful with the sauce they give and overall a solid 8/10 . The rice was a bit dry and I had to add water to it due to the dryness so that was a 5.2/10 for me. And lastly one of their most popular mains the item that determined this rating, The infamous Kung Pao Chicken, honestly they were very disappointing, they were a popular item so I had my hopes up but they were soon brought way down, I thought they would be flavorful and actually tasting like chicken but they were not flavorful, doughy (they added way too much cornstarch) and overall not the best so honestly it's a 2/10. So overall I was a little mean but this does not deserve a 5 star rating (in my opinion) and I hope this helped you decide if you wanted to come or not.
