Huge single serving Mapo Tofu
Dave K.

Great inexpensive spot for Chinese food in Concord. Phenomenal Mapo Tofu. Lunch and dinner specials are great deals. Huge space with great / quick service. Don't let the exterior keep you away - the food's great.

First time here
Inverleith F.

In a visit to 99 Ranch, I happened to park in front of this restaurant and decided to check out the menu when I returned. Immediately I look for the beef chow fun which is my personal favorite and gauge of the chef. The person at the desk is friendly and said it was a 10 minute wait. No problem as their to-go business looked pretty busy. I'm always to support a local business and will try most places once. When I got home, I was nicely surprised to see all the beef because this is where some places will be stingy. The noodles could have been fresher but this is what happens when you are away from a Chinatown. Flavor was good, a bit more wok hey would have been my preference but you know what? For the price and location, I'm good to come back to order this again as well as something else. Always gotta support local businesses!

Food

I have went here before and both times the waiter Jackie has always been friendly and offered magnificent service. Food was excellent.

BBQ Pork Chow Mein
Jeannie W.

First time to this Chinese restaurant. It was a Saturday night but the restaurant not busy only a few tables. We ordered the chow mein and fish filets. Flavor was bland not that tasty. We were late for dinner so we didn't have too many choices. Food was soso.

Sweet and sour pork lunch special
Cas R.

Recommend by coworkers, I came here for lunch. They have a decent lunch menu to choose from which included an entree, rice, egg rolls, and soup. The soup is a vinegar forward hot and sour whilst you can opt for steamed or fried rice. Meals were served family style which I appreciated. My group ordered pork, fish, tofu, and beef and they were all good. One of the better Chinese spots I've had in contra costa county. The server was kind, but did forget our chow mein until we asked about it. The inside is larger than you would expect from viewing the outside and tables can seat about 4 people comfortably.

Lo mein beans & rice
David S.

First visit, take out on Christmas Eve. Food quality, freshness, and portion size all excellent. OK decor, large space. My fiancé can't eat garlic and they were able to exclude it from three dishes where it would normally be included. I really appreciated that. The beef, lo mein and beef chow fun were both excellent. Vegetarian eggroll and potstickers as well. Green beans outstanding, a little kick, but not too spicy. Prices reasonable. Will definitely go back.

Lemon Chicken

Shan Shan Low is a local Chinese restaurant that offers quick service with exceptional classic dishes. We've had food from here many times, but have yet to eat inside. I do want to visit sometime, the ambience is nice and spacious. My wife and I order lunch specials from here somewhat often, she loves the Mongolian beef while I tend to order chicken dishes. Their orange and lemon chicken are pretty good. The Mongolian beef is very tasty, and their fried rice is great. All of their fried rice dishes are a hit! We've ordered lots of things on the menu, and most of them tend to be very good. When we have family over, we'll place large orders. Our family and friends love the food from here. The person in charge is so nice, he's very consistent and will have your takeout order usually ready in 15 minutes. I would give them four stars, but have to bump them up to five because of their consistency overall.

a variety of asian food
Alan D.

Been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. Good flavors, great portions, and super friendly staff. Classic old-school Chinese food. Has the great wok flavor if you know you know lol. My favorites? The crispy beef (gotta have the sauce on the side so it stays crispy) unless you're dining in. The hot and sour soup is one of my fav soups . Anything fried rice here is a win. Oh, and the salt and pepper chicken wings are great. My son enjoys eating it all and likes leaving me a piece or two lol. I'm basically part of the Yelp page at this point with multiple check-ins & my pics tells it all! If you want delicious Chinese food in Concord, this is a must try spot.

We were in the area and decided to eat lunch here again. Nothing has changed in a good way. Food is consistently good and portions are huge. Same goes for the service, the staff in there are always so friendly and very attentive.

Mongolian beef - lunch special
Nelly R.

My coworker and I decided on Chinese food today and Shan Shan Low was the place. My coworker picked up the food for us so I cannot speak on how the inside look or the customer service but she did say anything about the customer service. We got regular chicken fried rice (Not shown), 3 veggie egg rolls, 1 orange chicken lunch special and Mongolian beef. The orange chicken was a little too sweet for me and the Mongolian beef was okay. Overall, this place is not the Best in the West but it's not the worst either. It's just okay. Would I go back? Maybe to try something else Am I rushing to get back? No.

Beef chow mein and lunch Mongolian beef
ness l.

I found this place about 2-3 years ago and haven't stopped coming since! I live in Oakland so it's usually 30-40 min drive but always worth it because of the consistency. Every time I eat it's like the first time all over again. This last trip I went in for a solo lunch and it was exactly what I needed! I ordered the lunch Mongolian beef as with steam rice, beef chow mein, and their fried prawns! The meal comes with a small hot and sour soup but when I asked if they could leave that out he offered me wonton soup instead which was so nice and unexpected since I know they don't usually allow substitutions. Now on to the taste of everything: Beef Chow Mein - 10000/10 this is one of the few Chinese restaurants I order beef from because their beef is so silky and tender not chewy at all Mongolian Beef - 8/10 super yummy with a nice Mongolian flavor but a little to spicy to eat a lot of. It's a lot better with the noodles or steam rice. Fried Prawn - 8/10 super light and crispy and the shrimp are never fishy or bland, I love the batter it's like a beer batter/ tempura and it comes with a sweet and sour sauce Overall I give Shan Shan Low a 9/10 this place is a staple for me when I want good quality consist Chinese food perfect for a low pressure date or even just meeting with a bunch of friend or family since the inside is so large! Oh also my total was about $43 for all this and me and my partner at the leftovers for dinner :)

Braised tofu with vegetable fried rice. Delicious!
Fatemah N.

Soooo good. Enjoyed my meal so much. I took a chance to try this place and was pleasantly surprised and how delicious it was. I had the tofu dish and the veggie fried rice, which made me happy. Definitely will come back here again.

Chinese Sausage Fried Rice
Kimberly N.

My favorite place to buy Chinese food in Concord is Shan Shan Low. Let me start by saying how clean this restaurant is. We usually do take out here, but when we decided to dine in, we were very impressed with how clean and tidy it was. The staff is also very friendly and polite. I noticed many people coming in and out taking food to go. These are the dishes we ordered: -Hot and Sour Soup 4/5: the soup has great flavor! I would order it again. I would like to try other soups too. -Mongolian Beef 5/5: This is one of the "must-order" signature dishes. The beef is not chewy; it is always perfectly cooked and well balanced with the onions and other vegetables. -Garlic Eggplant with added Chicken 3.5/5: The eggplant and chicken were delicious, but the dish was a bit too oily for my liking. Although it tasted great, the oiliness turned me off, and the eggplant was a bit mushy. -Chinese Sausage Fried Rice 5/5: Wow! This was my first time trying this here, and it was delicious! I loved that they had the option for sausage fried rice. I'll order this again for sure. Overall, I love this restaurant. It is close by, the quality of the food is excellent, the restaurant is clean, and the staff is nice.

My extra garlic no garlic having salt and pepper fish.

I accidentally found this place while sitting in traffic on Contra Costa Blvd and Taylor. I noticed…read moretheir sign, and it was perfect timing as I was hungry. At 12:30pm, at the height of lunch time, there were only 2 customers in the restaurant. I was greeted by a pleasant lady who led me to my table. I ordered their lunch special Kunpao Chicken that came with hot and sour soup, a small tasty egg roll and steamed rice. The Serving was generous and the chicken was delicious! The soup wasn't too sour, authentic but not overpowering which I liked. After my meal, I had enough delicious leftover for dinner. There were just 3 customers, including myself, the whole time I was there. It's sad because the place looks nice and clean, and the food was great. Give this place a try and I promise you won't be disappointed.

You don't see this soup often on menus and it didn't disappoint. Xiaolong bao was a pleasant surprise. If you are from Shanghai you know there is a specific taste that is always lacking in most dumpling places. But it's here in this Sichuan restaurant so a pleasant surprise. Garlic pea sprouts were tender and fragerent. Beef rolls had the most delicious braised beef. The salt and pepper chicken was basically popcorn chicken but came in a huge basket and pretty decent. Overall great food in a no-frills environment with decent portions and prices. Would return to try other dishes.

Like the restaurant, the food also looks and like the Americanized Chinese food that was ubiquitous in the 1960s, but it is WONDERFUL. We ordered "Deluxe Family Dinner D". We got Sizzling Rice Soup, Pot Stickers, String Bean Beef, Honey Walnut Prawns and Chow Mein. And were instantly transported to 1965. The fresh food was pure Chinese comfort food. Cooked perfectly, and delivered with humor and a smile in a quantity that would easily have fed four! We were very happy we came. If you're looking for Haute Cuisine, look elsewhere.

Everything we ordered came out fresh and well-prepared, and you can really tell there's care put into the food. If you're a fan of the type of food you get at 88 Bao Bao, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. In my opinion, it's a step above, with a much wider variety of dishes and plenty of choices beyond the usual favorites. Their beef rolls are especially worth ordering, they're much more substantial, packed with flavor, and very satisfying. Another thing that really stood out to me is the space. The restaurant is relatively clean, open, and spacious, which makes the overall experience much more comfortable than some of the smaller, crowded spots in the area. If you're ever near 99 Ranch in Concord, put this place on your list. Great food, generous portions, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere make it well worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more of their dishes!

Pretty good Chinese spot in Concord! Dumpling and Noodle House is worth checking out if you're in…read morethe area and craving noodles and dumplings. It's one of those places that can be easy to overlook, especially with the shopping plaza across the street drawing more foot traffic, but I think it deserves a little more attention. The location probably doesn't do it any favors when it comes to people casually walking by and deciding to grab a bite. If it were right in the plaza across the street, I could see more people stumbling upon it. As it is, you might have to make a point of stopping here instead of just following the crowds. If you're nearby and trying to figure out where to satisfy a noodle or dumpling craving, keep this place in mind! A solid local option and worth a stop, even if its location makes it a little less noticeable than the neighboring spots.

We travel to Mings from our home in Danville (15 miles). We have a choice of Chinese restaurants…read more MING's has been one of our favorites since our family gathered here for Chinese New Year 2006. I am asian and from my Yelp Reviews you can see i love to eat, especially good Chinese recipes. I also enjoy cooking these same recipes at home. I cannot understand many of the NEGATIVE reviews for Ming's. Since Day 1, we have always felt that SERVICE has been exceptionally kind here. For many years Ming himself would seat his guests & take their orders. Today, 20 years later, he is still present in the restaurant to greet guests, and he personally thanks patrons at their table. The negative reviews are that person's opinion, i personally do not understand how they can be so critical of this decent restaurant. Tonight we brought my 91 yo father - with his wheelchair. Ming was gracious enough to show us the ramp as we were maneuvering to the front door. We were seated in a nice booth, wheelchair out of the way. Our waiter greeted us, took our tea order and remembered that i drink COKE zero (2 cans). He mentioned some of their special plates for the day. Tea,water & drinks were present as we were looking at the menu. We ordered: Mu-siu chicken w/4 pancakes Salted fish w/chicken fried rice Prawns w/ bitter melon Salt pepper fried chicken Sweet n sour pork Steamed fish fillet w/ ginger & green onions Westlake Beef soup Soup arrived first. Hot soup served by the waiter. Great flavor loaded with ingredients, - no after taste of added MSG. Mu-siu chicken were prepared at our table by our waiter. Delicious with a good portion of chicken w/ vegetables. Presented all at once so we started eating at the same time. The remaining dishes arrived as they cleared our table of empty plates. Each dish was flavorful, Dad is on a kidney diet, i am on a heart healthy diet,, our taste buds are trained to detect excessive SALT & MSG. Each dish delivered good flavors. Honestly, my family has only enjoyed Dinners here, its a 30 mile drive and i rarely eat a big Lunch. So ive not sampled the Lunch service. I have eaten by myself, with my wife, and up to 10 family members, and never experienced a bad visit. We do frequent restaurants in SF and Oakland Chinatown, for the East Bay, MING can stand proud of his LOCAL Business. Thank You Ming for providing an option for Good Chinese Cuisine in our area.

This has happened to us before and this time it was the shrimp noodle. They also take a while to bring out your dishes, but some still come out cold? Service is friendly, and it is good enough for us when we don't feel like driving to East Ocean in Alameda or Yang Kee in Davis, which are both a lot better.
