Incredibly delicious food! Was visiting from three hours away and have been craving over & over again since. Comfortable, casual yet classy atmosphere with small outdoor patio as an option. Hot & Sour soup was the best we've ever had. White rice was delicious on its own- wonderful flavor without anything on it. The General Tso's Chicken was Top Notch & cooked to perfection. Very large drinks served. Everything seemed Fresh!! Went after lunch rush during week; service was perfect. Will be back next time in the area! Locals, please frequent this restaurant and keep this place in business!! :) read more

To put things in perspective, I got home with this take out order at 7p.... It's now 7:46p, this food is in the trash and I'm writing a review. Look at the pictures. Pay attention to the receipt. I mean it when I say I've never in my life taste food more disgusting in every single way you can possibly imagine. The fried rice was just brown rice that taste like sh*t. Not even edible! The Singapore noodles taste like melting plastic. Had a bite then through it away. The shrimp eggrolls were soggy, falling apart and drenched in fry oil... ugh!! Not quite sure what the brown blob was. I truly could go through every single thing on this order and absolutely destroy it. But I won't. I'm just going to say don't be like me and try to roll the dice on this place. It should be named SHAM not Shan. Awful awful awful awful food. They should be ashamed. Poor excuse of a restaurant. Just hopeful we don't get sick from the few bites we had. Might as well of tossed that $100+ out the window driving down the road. I would not feed this food to my dog. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID. I Wish I Was Kidding. read more

The food was delicious, so much flavor. We ordered tbe egg drop soup, black pepper beef and the Singapore noodle. All of it I'd recommend! The staff was also very sweet and welcoming, fast ! We will be coming back. read more

We weren't impressed and won't be going back, despite a convenient location to us. The first time we tried to go they had a fire in their kitchen. I mainly remember undercooked celery and carrots as the veggies in their cashew chicken. How boring and unexpected is that? Our old favorite, Peony, used zucchini and mushrooms. read more

I have a little bit of an issue understanding the negative comments, so I must attribute them to the fact that they're so new and understaffed. I have eaten there three times so far, and honestly feel that not only is this some of the best Chinese food that I have ever eaten in Lakeway, but one of the tops in Austin period! Yes they need to work on their service, but they're new and it's very difficult to get help in Lakeway. Trust me the food is incredible, and I just can't figure out the negative comments on the food. Give them a try! read more

We have been wanting to try this place for a while and have been watching the reviews. It's now clear to me the type of people who give poor reviews, please go eat at Panda Express, this isn't your cup of tea. Also, to go food is never how anyone should experience food. I don't have pictures; we were engaged with speaking to the owner and having great conversation. We ordered: Fish Filet with chili oil, sizzling chicken with cilantro, pork intestines with hot chili, dry fried green beans, Dan Diced chicken spicy chilies, steamed buns with pork, combination fried rice, and salt and pepper fish. Everything was amazing! Some staff do not speak English, they aren't being rude. Also, Lakeway people are notorious for being rude, you get what you give. We will def will be back and so grateful there is a real Chinese place close enough for us to drive. read more

The quality of the food and service of this place has gone to the dogs. We've been here for 5 times in the last 2 years. When we went there a few months ago, I heard a waitress was complaining the tip from a table was too small, then the chef from the kitchen yelled "Shǎbī! (which means "Idiot" in Chinese)". I was shocked that workers were commenting in Chinese about customers loudly in front of customers. Do they assume customers all don't understand Chinese? Recently we thought to give this place another chance. Even though the service was bad, at least the food was good last time. However, this time, even the food has turned sour. The sizzling hot plate beef was not served on a sizzling hot plate anymore. It's just a stir-fried dish served on a cold iron plate. Half of the dishes tasted different from half a year ago. We suspect they lost their original chef(s) and couldn't find good replacements. They provided free water in a glass jar but forgot to remove the dark green mold from the mouth of the jar. So Gross! The waiter dropped a dish at the corner of our table and quickly walked away. Both of my husband and I looked at each other and then the empty space in the middle of the table and in front of us, and wondered why the waiter didn't care to place the dish in the middle of the table or in front of either of us. Anyway, that's enough! No wonder this place is so deserted on a weekday evening. read more

New Chinese place that looked very busy when I went to pick up my order. It has good quality Chinese takeout food with good ingredients. It is pretty authentic, with dishes I haven't seen since I last visited China. read more

Their food is good to excellent, I am still considering whether to rate 4 stars or 5 stars. W Yang may be a bit too picky, I have not had their service before, but the food is very good, especially the salt and pepper fish which is pretty simple. They serve it fresh and it comes out quickly. Actually I am changing this to 5 stars. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend there in Lakeway who is the pickiest person I know. He and his wife recommends it highly. I think that W Yang, should really reconsider, a 2 star is pretty low. read more

The food was good here, and the restaurant was full. Service slow and due to no liquor license, people had brought their own alcohol. Hope they get a license soon! read more

We are so lucky to have a place like in Lakeway. Food is amazing. Quantity is good too. read more

Excellent meal with kind, attentive service. Enjoyed the pork dumplings, cilantro chicken & chicken lo mein. All were absolutely wonderful! Best Chinese food in Lakeway/Bee Cave/Hudson Bend. Give it a try! read more

We recently tried authentic Sichuan food, and it was amazing! The food is simply outstanding with bold, authentic flavors and that signature spicy, mouth-numbing kick. It outshines even the highly-rated Sichuan spots we tried in San Francisco and Boston. Don't miss out on a visit! My favorites: 1. Cumin Beef 2. Spicy Boiled Beef 3. Diced Spicy Crispy Chicken read more

Very chill restaurant with delicious food! In Austin to visit family and we stopped here to grab some food because it is on the way. Boy was it a treat! We got the Shan Stewed Beef Noodle and asked for extra spicy. So good! The beef was very succulent and the flavor reminded me of the traditional spices and sauces from home. The Sliced Pork with Chili and Pepper Oil (twice cooked pork), spicy lamb with cumin, stir fried lamb with green onions, griddle cooked short rib, salt and pepper squid, shan fried wings, and the shan combination fried rice were absolutely delicious! I would take photos but I was with family and was embarrassed to be taking a ton of pics. I only got a pic of my photos. The waiter was really nice and the food came fairly quick. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely visit this restaurant again. Oh just an fyi, they have pretty big portion sizes for the prices they're charging. I was really surprised! read more

We picked up an order To go and really enjoyed it! Authentic Chinese takeout with a large menu and variety of

This place is awesome! We went there Saturday night and had some of the best dumplings I ever had. We ordered the vermicelli, and a few appetizers. Service was great, the lady was very polite. It has a great ambience, it is not loud, pretty dark inside. They have large round tables with lazy Susan's on them so it would be great for a nice party of 8. They don't have their liquor license yet but we were able to bring our own...and there is a liquor store right next door! @monarchliquor We will definitely be going again. read more

A fairly new restaurant. Their menu options are not your typical Cantonese, Sichuan food. They have a good variety. The food are great and their presentations are very good too. There are not that many good chinese restaurants in Austin area, and this becomes one of my saved chinese restaurants I would revisit again read more

Ok. It takes a lot to get a 1 star review but that what it deserves. Every single item we ordered was tasteless stale and cold on delivery. Egg rolls were stale as though they were sitting for days and cold. Hot and sour soup was worst I have ever had. Watery and very little taste. The main course was without any flavor and the meat was chewy and just awful. Cold as well. Tried to call restaurant - no answer. I'd personally like a full refund. A credit for next time is a no. Would not order from there again. 1 star is actually generous. read more

Super clean Great service Very good food, beautiful presented! Try it. You will not be disappointed !! read more

The cumin Lamb is amazing, Dry spicy beef noodle is off the hook sicuan delishousness!! Pot stickers are crispy and the sauce has amazing flavor. The duck is so crispy and yummy!! This is authentic Chinese! I wouldnt come here if you like watered down plain Americanized (Texas) Chinese food. If you love flavor and Sicuan, this is the place! read more

Shan is our favorite place for chicken fried rice for all of Lakeway/Steiner/bee cave area!

This restaurant is horrific. The food is adequate but is certainly not produced in the kitchen. The atmosphere is terrible and it is essentially empty with no patrons. The service is non-existent. read more

Absolutely terrible service and food. I wouldn't wast my time or money at this restaurant. I can't believe they have a server with so little customer service skills. It could have been more but in the last year has gone completely downhill. I won't go back and neither will the 6 other people that were with me. read more

Wow! Almost didn't come here because there were only 5 reviews. But one of the reviews said it has only been open for 2 weeks. So, we gave it a try and it was more than amazing! My husband had the General Tso's chicken, and I had the Shan Sesame Tofu. We both had the hot and sour soup. This has been the best Chinese food we have eaten since moving here 3 years ago. We have tried many place!!! Love love love the ambiance, the service, the way they packed all of our leftovers, and their kindness. Our new favorite place to go!! read more

Its been really good the 2 times we went. The portions are GIANT. Family style entrees for sure. Good selection. Soft drinks by the can is a little lame in this day and age but Im nit picking. You can do a lot worse in Lakeway FOR SURE. read more

So you guys have turned it around since my last review. Friendliness goes a LONG way. The employee i reviewed last time who used to seem kind of rude and mean has gotten so much nicer and polite. I appreciate that. Theres a middle aged woman though who could be a bit nicer or atleast practice common courtesy. I'm always very happy as a dasher and smile and say words like please, thank you and have a great day! She says nothing back and doesn't smile. And yes she speaks english i kno. Theres a younger girl there maybe like college age and she us a sweetheart but she always says high wait times15-20 min and the order comes out in 5 min or less. While it is a nice surprise as it comes out sooner everyrime, keep in mind this may scare of some dashers and have them cancel unnecessarily. But i love how nice she is. Please believe me your attitude and how nice u are to customers/dashers WILL give you 5 star reviews like this. Keep up the great work! read more

Best Asian food in the Bee Cave/Lakeway area. Location is a bit inconvenient, but worth the drive.

Wow! This is some of the best Chinese we've had in Austin (been here almost 10 years) by far and being here in Lakeway is the cherry on top. We are pretty picky about Chinese coming from NY where we grew up on a certain style and quality. Came here on Xmas eve not sure what to expect and were blown away by how delicious everything was. Started with the egg rolls and fried dumplings. Both very good and the sauce with the dumplings was a winner. Didn't love the "duck sauce" with the egg rolls as it was more of a canned sweet and sour sauce. But the egg rolls were perfectly crisp and delicious. Ordered beef and broccoli for the kiddos who loved it. Chicken w garlic sauce was authentic and very good. Peppered beef was a new one for us, cooked perfectly in a nice brown sauce. Didn't last long at our table! Dry fried green beans were very good albeit a bit heavy on the seasoning but very addicting. Combo fried rice was solid. And the true winner was the real deal shrimp w lobster sauce. Just like we grew up on in NY and worth going just for that dish. Overall we were shocked at how good everything was. Service was great but the place could use some improvements in decor. I could care less how it looks as we'll be back soon and again if the quality remains this good. Welcome to the neighborhood and thank you! read more

Really enjoyed our first visit. The menu is extensive and has old favorites as well as some new ones that we are excited to try. Happy Family was a non-spicy dish that we loved. Everything we ordered was of good quality ingredients and very tasty. We will be back. read more

I would like to start off by saying I'm slightly disappointed in my meal this evening. I ordered one of those soups and it was not exactly as pictured and I barely received any of the protein , beef and most of it was just the fat so I'm a little disappointed to say the least but I recognize this is a new restaurant and I'm willing to try again not in the soup this time but another dish . Thank you guys so much I'm so excited there's a new Chinese place in the area we needed one of these read more

Love the fried rice and hot and sour soup. I've only done take out. Will hopefully dine in soon

This is the most quality Chinese food you can get near Lakeway! The Crab Rangoon was crispy, creamy, and crabby; the Orange chicken was quality white meat chunks with good flavor; the chicken fried rice was not at all greasy and the white meat chicken was not sketchy; and the pork lo mein was lean pork slices with the delicious red edges, and also not greasy! Some may say it's a little spendy (like $16 per main), but the provide big portions! Also, there may be a lunch menu that I didn't notice (I ordered takeout in the restaurant). The restaurant was clean, and the service was SO friendly! Seriously, if you're on the fence, check them out! read more

On our way home to Lakeway after a football watch party we decided to get takeout dinner from Shan China Bistro and Bar. The Chinese staff was friendly, restaurant clean and food prepared and packed efficiently. We ordered the Honey Shrimp with Walnuts and Shredded Sweet Garlic Pork with Garlic Sauce. So good and so much food - enough for two meals each. We love Chinese food and we'll be back to try out other dishes soon. read more

WOW! This place is the real deal! The food was outstanding. We had egg rolls, Garlic chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and fried green beans. Everything was so fresh, and the service was super. Go here. You won't be disappointed read more

I really wanted to give this place a higher rating. But, the service just killed the entire dining experience! Upon entering the restaurant, no one greeted us. We stood there for almost 10 minutes until someone finally approached and seated us. We waited 45 minutes to get our food. The few staff were running back and forth from the kitchen looking stressed. Every time someone entered the restaurant, an annoying chime would go off alerting the entire place that another person walked through the door. The food was authentic and tasty but not worth the wait and poor service! Sorry Shan! read more

This was our second time there & we had really good experiences both times. The people there are so nice. The food's delicious & the menu's extensive, so I look forward to trying lots of other dishes. So glad this lovely Chinese restaurant has opened so close to our house. Hope they fill up their restaurant with more happy patrons! read more

Hands down the best Chinese Food I've had in TX. This is authentic, very high quality and amazing flavors. I grew up with great Chinese food only to crave it since I've moved to TX 20 years ago. I had the Soup Dumplings and the Tea Roasted Duck, both were amazing. They are on their game service wise, it was a packed restaurant and the service was flawless. They are waiting for their liquor license so enjoy the BYOB while it lasts. Really excited to have a place this great here. read more

If I wanted to eat reheated Frozen Chinese food I would simply go over to HEB and get some of the good ones from the freezer section. The owner even admitted they use some frozen products in their meals in a reply to another review. read more

Went yesterday with a large group of ladies. We go often as we have a class close by. Our waiter was so rude. He was rude about everything! After each woman ordered he would say "Anything else?" He meant what did the next person want and got very testy when the next person did not order. He was rude at every turn. He snapped at every question. He either hates Americans or did not want to be there but he made our visit very uncomfortable and we probably won't go back! read more
