Shan Dong

"Came on a Sunday around 5:30 and waited around 40 minutes to get seated. Loved the string beans- great flavor with a mix of chili oil and garlic, couldn’t stop eating it cause it was so addicting! I ordered the pork chow mein with the hand pulled noodles - HUGE portion (I had leftover that lasted me 2 meals) and the noodles are super thick and chewy which I love, no other place do their noodles like this place! Note to self: make sure to mix the noodles before eating since the sauce is accumulated in the bottom to actually get the flavor!"

"A very delicious place in Oakland’s Chinatown. I had their shandong chicken, dry fried green beans, salt and pepper pork and chicken and they were all excellent. The shandong chicken is your typical orange chicken, but they did something to the sauce that gives it this dark toasted caramel taste to it. The green beans I highly recommend, it’s lightly fried and then stir fried with their sauce that gives it a rich and umami flavor. Their salt and pepper options, my only complaint is that I wish they gave more protein. But other than that, a great place to stop by in Chinatown if you’re ever in the area."

"Absolutely delicious!! Onion pancake & dumplings were amazing. Chicken was too. Noodles were a lil spicy but nothing we couldn’t handle. Ordered on Doosdash & it did not disappoint!"

"Shan Dong is definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for delicious Chinese food in Oakland. The food is flavorful, fresh, and packed with taste across the dishes we ordered. Service was quick and efficient, and despite the restaurant being busy, we didn’t have to wait long to be seated as a party of two. The portions are very generous, so it’s easy to have leftovers or share a few dishes. Considering the quality, quantity, and overall experience, it offers excellent value for the money. And whatever you order, make sure you request the handmade noodles—they’re absolutely worth it and really elevate the meal. I’d happily come back the next time I’m craving great Chinese food."
