Shang Cafe San Jose

点了扣肉不新鲜，孩子说好臭，全倒了。他家食材不新鲜，厨师其实还行，生意不错

Nice place to go if you like spicy dishes though it's kind of a little bit too salty， still, worthy to go.

调味过重，食材不新鲜，辣子鸡里面的鸡加起来都没有一只鸡腿的量。老妈蹄花汤都不是白的，里面放海带，而且猪蹄中间有一块诡异的红色。

The best spicy ️ Chinese food in San Jose area, I think

I was born and raised in Sichuan so I know what I’m talking about. To be 100% honest, the food is just mediocre, meaning that you can cook them by yourself at home. The chef clearly did not receive the most authentic trainings of cooking Sichuan food. He/She might be good at making Hunan food like all the other Hunan restaurants the owners have, but just not Sichuan food. There is just something missing. The restaurant itself is nice, and very crowded especially during the weekends. So make sure you go very early, or just get takeouts

Very crowded on weekends. It is better to place takeout orders than dine-in
