Shang Noodle & Chinese

This is a solid place to grab lunch or dinner with friends and family. I loved the walnut shrimp and black bean noodles! Service is pretty fast as well. It's a little crowded sometimes but nothing too crazy. Ambiance is also nice and the restaurant is really cute.

Very closed to Wholefoods and the Northwestern University campus. Their food quality is absolutely beyond average.

We order a Taiwanese beef noodles soup. It serves with at least 5 or 6 pieces of beef which is tender and juicy. The noodles are soft and full of flavor in the soup. Not too salty. Wood-ear salad is a must: flavor in vinegar and garlic and open your appetite. Seafood soup is also tasty and serves with a heating device for at least 20 minutes, which makes the seafood soup very very hot.

Our waiter is a bit weird that he comes and bing in stuffs totally silently, without saying anything. We feel we are invisible.

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Evanston. Six of us had another great meal here. We made reservations thankfully since it became very crowded. We brought wine and they provided wine glasses.

Had our usual Pom Pom wings won ton soup salt pepper shrimp and others. A wonderful dinner. They didn't rush us despite it being busy

Whenever I'm craving for beef noodle soup, I always choose Shang Noodle. The noodle itself is thick and chewy. The soup is thick and fresh. Service is right to the point. The staff is very attentive.
Environment is warm and cozy. It's a bit loud during weekends. But it's totally ok to me.
What can compete with a warm beef noodle soup in a cold weather? I can't wait to come back again and try other noodles.

I've been to Shang Noodle many times. The food is good and prices match the quality. Service is average.

Why the 3 stars? I dined in tonight and everything was expected. They use Toast as their check out system. And you pay directly on the handheld machine which is good and bad. Good because you control your credit card. Bad because you don't see the sub-total, only post-tax and the tip pre-calculation percentages are set post-tax. Tip should NOT be post-tax! I mentioned this to the server and his reaction was smug and dismissive. He knew. His reaction did not sit well with me. They just lost a regular customer!

What a great place to have some authentic delicious Chinese/Taiwanese food, in the heart of downtown Evanston. Whether you're a student, or not, definitely take the trek to Evanston to Shang Noodle & Chinese, where the food won't disappoint, the service great, and the overall dining experience being top-notched.

We order the famous Jjajangmyeon (Noodles in blackbean sauce) which if you look at Yelp, there are dozens of photos of it; a crowd pleaser for sure. If you're looking for a great chicken dish, with jam-packed flavor, spice, and the perfect breading, definitely try out the dry red-chilli chicken. We topped off the fantastic meal with some pork belly soup.

Our server was great... letting us two, pull together two tables, due to the amount of food we ordered. Our waters were filled constantly, and we were checked-up on several times.

BATHROOM REVIEW: There is a mens and womens private bathroom. In the mens, it was extremely clean and spacious and contained a urinal, toilet, and even a chair to chill at, if you're all about having a conversation in the bathroom, or just wanted to lounge in a bathroom. No judgment here. Well, judgment with the bathrooms, as that's what I do. Sit or squat? Sit!

Classic Chinese restaurant. It's slightly more authentic than an Americanized takeout restaurant but too simple to be an authentic Chinese restaurant. The food is good, very quick, easy, simple Chinese food with flavor. The service at the Evanston location was good and it is usually busy. The only criticism I have is that the food is too simple when I expect more authentic Chinese food from the place. It almost seems as if there is just 5 ingredients in a dish but the price is cheap. Overall, 8/10.

Good hip looking Chinese place with a cool vibe and intimate atmosphere. It's good for a cool dinner. Shang Noodle has a few spots including an Evanston location. Has something of an Americanized menu but that's not a knock. The prices are better than expected for a nice place like this.

A lot of classic familiar Chinese American favorites are here. It's a nice change from the typical carryout Chinese restaurant. The prices are kind of higher, but the food is better and so is service. It has an older location in South Loop and there's another one in Streeterville for those eating in the city. This one that's located in Evanston one is newer, and fits in with the many Asian restaurants. Has a very nice bar where they can make fancy cocktails. Of course the food is the main attraction, and we chose a few favorites. We went here recently and I got the Kung Pao Tofu. It's about $15, but there was a lot of food. This had bell peppers, celery, dry red chilis, peanuts, and water chestnuts, and had quite a spice. It doesn't have a whole lot, but there's some vegetarian choices. There's also a sushi bar, and they make it all fresh.

Find this on Davis Street near Chicago Avenue among many other cool looking cafes. It has better than expected prices. They not only have Chinese food, but also sushi.

I was having one of those "ugh I need a mental health day" moments from work. You know the kind - stay in bed all day, still wearing PJs at 3pm, dozing on & off. I was extremely tired & in no mood to cook or warm up a single thing. What I did want, was a giant helping of wonton soup.

I've always walked by Shang's & looked at their site online. Everything does look delicious, I just never had the time to dine in or I'd forget about it when wanting to order delivery. Everyone offers wonton soup, & I've had many, although my favorites are found in Chinatown. I wanted to stay home.

Ordered through Door Dash & really, that's it. Just the wonton soup. Food arrived quickly & I was surprised by the size. It seemed smaller initially than I thought it would be. Once I opened the bag up, I was amazed. The container was full of wontons, the broth was outstanding, & this was the warm hug of soup I was waiting for. The dumplings had thin skins (which I prefer) & the filling was tasty. The broth isn't like others & I can now say, this is a new favorite. Even better because Evanston's not far from me.

If you're feeling under the weather, glum, or just love wonton soup, give Shang's a try. I'll definitely order again & might try their other fares but their wonton soup is the best I've had in a long time.

My friends brought me here because they couldn't stop raving over their Taiwanese Noodle Soup. They said it reminded them of their favorite noodles when they used to live in the Philippines so of course, I had to try this new place out! First, the location looks small on the outside but once you come in, the aesthetic of the inside looks modern and spacious. I noticed there seems to be many students and locals alike who frequent the establishment, and that said a lot to me. The server was very quick to seat us and take our orders. She was efficient and friendly throughout our whole meal.

On my first visit, I definitely had to try the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup even if it's still hot outside. I'm a big broth person and let me tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing and finished everything until the last drop. The braised beef was so tender and I love the soft but bouncy consistency of the house noodles. It was great because it didn't get all soggy even after being soaked in the broth. This is the type of dish I would keep reordering in whatever season. For my second visit, I ordered the Cha Jang Mein and wow, I was blown away. Again, the house noodles paired well with the Korean black bean sauce. The sauce was a mild, delicious mix of savory with a slight hint of sweetness. Also, the portions were generous but I was extra hungry, so I finished all of it! My friend's son got the Pong Pong Chicken and my gosh, that's the type of chicken where one minute you'd be nibbling on one and the next, all you'll see are bones on your plate. The skin was so crisp and the sauce was hot and tangy! I could eat a plate or two of this by myself!

If you want a delicious and hearty Asian meal to share with friends and family, you need to visit Shang Noodles! Parking was super limited on the streets but the extra walk was so worth it! Just seeing regulars picking up their take out and people coming in and out were testaments as to what kind of food this place served. I'm so glad to find another gem I could keep coming back to in downtown Evanston!
