Nice folks - nice food.
GOOD EATS !
Everytime we get to the Elmwood my two kids want to go to Shen Hua for their Chicken Fried Rice. Although they give you enough for them to share they always get their own with the hope of bringing some home.
Although their Chicken Fried Rice is good you have to go with the Dry Fried Prawns - the sauce is out of this world.
Beyond the food the folks who work there are great. We went for food just before New Years and the main person there came over to our table and gave me a bottle of wine in thanks for going there so often. How often do you get a tip from a restaurant you go to?
A great place to eat!…
Over priced and lacking flavor. The food was bland and expensive for a Chinese place. The atmosphere was nice a little noisy. Service was good and the food came out very quickly, problem was it didn?t have any flavor.
Editorial Review by Christy Buena. Bustling restaurant serves cocktails and authentic Chinese cuisine at affordable prices in hip pan-Asian atmosphere.
Best Chinese food in the East Bay!. I love their food! If only I was closer, I would eat there a couple times a week. Being born in SF, and now living in the east bay, it is hard to find very good, authentic chinese food that is not greasy and full of SALT. My sister lives in Beijing and even thought the food was very good. They offer nightly specials and have a mix of different regional food throughout asia. The food is very fresh and crisp; never overcooked or overdone. The only negative is, that it can be noisy - not a romatic place... Just plain GOOD food.…
Very noisy, food was decent. I visited this resturant on a Friday night. It was really loud that I had to shout across the table to to speak with my company, I just gave up and quit talking after a while, as did my company. One of my friends ordered the Mediterranean Beef, and the description said it was lightly fried. Well we couldn't find the beef.. All we could find was fried breading that was very, very crunchy. Although I had the dry fried chicken and it was very good, so what you order is kind of h*t or miss. The drink prices are a little high, but not horrible. I will go back but not on a weekend and hope to have a conversation this time.…
