Shang Cafe San Jose

Crowded place, long queue so you gotta be patient. But foods are nice. We tried the chili chicken, spicy fish fillet soup and pork veggie, favorites are the chicken and fish.

Authentic Sichuan restaurant with excellent food. We showed up when the restaurant opened at 5pm so there was no queue. By the time it's 6pm, queue was 10-15 minutes so time your visit.

Delicious sichuan style food in a no frills family-friendly setting. The servers are all very efficient and super friendly. Great portions! Will definitely be back.

Every dish was delicious! The spicy and numb levels might not be high enough for someone hardcore, but it was perfect for us to enjoy the flavor in the food. There is enough people that you know it’s a great restaurant, but not so crowded and popular that you had to wait a long time to get in. The waiter was very considerate and offered to bring forks when the kids were discussing the right way of holding chopsticks. Have so many dishes that we’d like to try, so will definitely return when we come to the Bay Area next time!

There are several dishes made me WOW. The downside is that all dishes are very salty and oily, and many tasted the same...Price is high, but portion is also BIG.I would only list the dishes catered to my taste. (Not exactly mapping to photos)The best dishes are: taro stew with chicken, fish maw in chilly oil, pepper grilled pork intestine, twice cooked pork slices.4-6 people could feast well on those with rice.The restaurant is extremely busy on weekends. Making a reservation via phone is recommended!
