Shandong - Oakland

Having the noodles with spicy meat sauce (hand cut noodles) and amazing dumplings. Second time this week, yes they are that good!

Don't Mind if I Do!. Shan Dong is what I want about half the time when I crave chinese food: heavy, flavorful, textured, and generally greasy. The owners are delightful and kind. The handcut noodles are a taste treat. Shan Dong Beef is all I want in flavor but I also understand a certain resemblance to P.E. Orange Chicken that my sister pointed out to me. I like coming here when I just want a satisfying comfort meal.

Like it?? no, LOVE IT. Dan Dan Noodles are a must as well as the onion pancake.Parking can be difficult but worth all efforts. There in no reason for a 66% Urban Spoon rating!

I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant in Oakland's Chinatown that offers delicious hand-pulled noodles and other unique dishes! I suggest ordering family-style and making sure to try the Sesame Paste Noodles and Eggplant. It was quite busy, even at 8pm on a Tuesday, so consider ordering takeout or arriving early to secure a table.

The hand-pulled noodles where thiiiiick and the flavor was definitely in every bite. We were seated pretty quickly even though it was a busy Tuesday night. Our order was taken pretty fast and the food came out within a few minutes. They had vinegar, soy sauce, and chilli oil at the table. You wont be disappointed.
