authentic and clean! To nitpick, the noodle salad is too salty as an appetizer. After this salty appetizer, every dish is kind of light. Overall, it gives us a happy night! Will be back for sure!

Hands down my new favorite restaurant! We ordered the sour spicy lemon chicken, honey walnut shrimp, old style wrapped pork, and beef chow mein. Everything was so fresh, so flavorful and delicious!! I can’t compliment this restaurant enough! It’s AMAZING! On top of the incredible food, the staff is so friendly, fast paced and very welcoming. Thank you so much for such a great experience!

This is exactly a Chinese restaurant you can find in China according to my boyfriend. The food we ordered was authentic and delicious. We ordered Garlic A Choi, Stir fried liver, tripe, and intestine and also a mild spicy Cumin lamb dish (it was still spicy for mild). We also got white rice. Staff and service were friendly and accommodating.

So I’m hesitant to post 5 star only because they’ll be more popular then I’ll have to wait for a table. But anyway the food is great and awesome with rice. So if you dine here just embrace carbohydrates lol. Place is not big with a bit of seating but definitely worth it. If you’re like me, eating rice with other dishes, plz enjoy. If you’re like some of my older family members who mainly eat dishes with minimal rice, it might be on the heavier flavor side for some. But imo it is a cozy spot to visit every now and then.

Wow, wow and more wow!! The food is amazing! A family owned restaurant. Every plate was so flavorful, they even customize the lemon chicken order for our boys no sauce. We are are definitely coming back. Reasonable prices for the dishes.

Very neat and small papa mama restaurant. The food definitely takes me back to China. The flavor is right on spot. I wish it is located at a more obvious location so ppl don't miss the amazing food here. If you want to try real authentic northern Chinese food, don't miss this place!

I was there for the chicken wings with salted egg yolks but end up with disappointment caz it was “way too salty”. The other dishes we order was good but size too small as a northern Chinese dishes

東北人 have a negative stereotype that whatever they do, it's without care for quality, and things just come out looking janky. Not the case here with these folks! The food is pretty good, and you can tell the clientele here have good relations with the owners. My party and I kept calling back to make changes to the reservations, and they didn't say a word. Did their best to accommodate. Plus, compared to other regional Chinese cuisines, Northeastern Chinese food tends to be the best bang for the buck. Last but not least, if there is a positive stereotype 東北人 are known for, it's being 爽快. Not pretentious at all, and to the point. Gotta' love that about them!

This a fairly newly opened Chinese joint. I was intrigued by their unique menu items so I went their for lunch. I really enjoyed their eggplant and potatoe stir fryas well as their mango wrapped old style pork. Both were so unique and tasty. I also liked their shrimp and crunchy yams. So delicate and tasty. Their firey spicy chicken was very savory and even made my tongue tingle from the chili!

It’s an ok Chinese restaurant. But if you are looking for authentic Dongbei dishes, not very good. The most ridiculous dongbei type dish cold noodles avoid must! Have you ever seen a dongbei cold noodles with Szechuan chilli inside? It tasted really funny. I gave out three stars because the flavor indeed is ok, just not very authentic.. Do Not order cold noodles or you will regret.

We ordered 2 cold dish and 1 hot stir fried dish. It took forever for the hot dish to come out that we finished both cold dishes by the time. Food was mediocre at best. The fried eggplant and meat was very hard and overcooked. The only good dish was the glass noodle and would not recommend the lemon chicken or lemon shrimp(way too sweet).There was no service at all. Our water cup was empty for the entire time and there’s no refill or whatsoever and there’s was only 2 tables of customers at the time. Will not come again!

I had a terrible experience at Sheng Yuan Restaurant. After dining there yesterday, I ended up with severe food poisoning—vomiting three times and having diarrhea. The food was incredibly disappointing. The Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork) was overwhelmingly sour, and the Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken Wings had an extremely fishy taste. I had to literally wash the Guo Bao Rou in the salty sauce of the Tomato Egg Drop Noodles just to make it somewhat edible. My friend only took one bite of the pork and chicken wings before refusing to eat any more. They ended up ordering noodles from another restaurant. The only dish that was somewhat tolerable was the Tomato Egg Drop Noodles, but even that wasn’t great—it was just edible, nothing more. When we complained to the staff, they just brushed it off, claiming it was impossible. It was an awful experience, and I will definitely not be returning.
