    This place is close to where I'm staying right now. From previous reviews, it says it's Sichuan dishes. The place is easy to find, clean and welcoming owners I assumed. Good selection of foods and this time, I tries their salt and pepper short ribs and sweet and sour soup. The short ribs are savory but missed the flavor of salt and pepper. I will give it a try again and see other options in their menu. Update to follow....

    I have not eaten at Shan before even though it is right across RR620 from my office. Great looking menu with a huge selection of item. Waiter was efficient and quickly took my drink and food order. Within 10 minutes I had my entree on the table. I ordered the Chongquig Style Spice Beef. The order was large and I took home 2/3rds of it. Great flavor and good spice level. I would definitely order it again. Shan is on 'My Keepers List'.

    Just a short walk from my hotel and I found a gem, Shan China Bistro. Chinese food is usually not my go to, but dang glad it was tonight. I went early (6pm), there was no wait and was seated and served quickly. I had the sweet and sour soup, an egg roll and orange chicken. If I go again, not sure I would change anything. It was all good! The restaurant looked clean, and the service was excellent. When in Lakeway, go to Shan! Go get Full

    Ambiance is very nice, feels homey and nostalgic for me. The owner is very sweet and friendly.

    You have been warned I've been dinning here with family and friends for two years since moving to the are. I really noticed food and service was going down hill my last 3-4 visit. I the server to remove an item from the table that I found off the flavor of the item was possibly spoiled. Instead of the server asking me if I wanted another plate or if I wanted it removed from my he took the plate, set it down on the table and proceeded to eat The next words out of his mouth word this is fine what's wrong with it explain is it too hot is it too sweet? Is it too sour? I told him I have ordered the same item numerous times and it didn't taste like it did today and I don't want it. I don't like it. I'm not eating it! After this last visit, I've conclusion. I will no longer be dining here having off day is one thing or time is another thing but to be questioned repeatedly is unacceptable in my book.

    Need to update menu as they do not offer fried seafood and the combination rice was gummy and inedible.

The place reminded me of Ling Wu in the Grove area because the decor looked similar. Maybe they are owned by the same people? Firstly, I was impressed with the fact they had a FREE parking garage nearby since this is in the downtown area and next to Whole Foods. It took me a bit to find it as I'm directionally challenged, but I did and was just running a bit late. We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. I got the Singaporean noodles, a mezcal drink, and a sake. The serving size was big so I had plenty to take home. We shared many of the other dumplings and dim sum items. Everything was very good! The place wasn't too crowded so after we paid our bill we sat around for a while longer to chat and catch up. Usually someone would come by to see if we needed or wanted anything further, but no one did so we kept chatting and left. I'm happy to know of a central location with easy parking as a future place to meet people. I wish they had a happy hour because the bill for 3 of us was unexpectedly higher than usual.

    If you are looking for Americanized Chinese food that you could find all over in the 1980's this is…read morethe best I have found in several decades with the added bonus of not feeling hungry again in 30 minutes and no MSG hangover. There was nothing that I would not eat again, but the highlight was definitely the crab rangoon, the best that I have ever had anywhere and I have lived in 5 countries on 4 different continents and been to another 32 countries. The PuPu platter was good, but I would likely go with separate items in the future with potentially skipping the shrimp and spring rolls. I really liked the ability to pick the spice level on the entrées. I recommend ordering the fried rice entrée, the fried rice that comes with the other entrées is ok, but the fried rice entrée really takes it up flavor wise. I have to assume the Indonesian food is authentic as there were at least 5 families in traditional dress going in for pickup or dinner. I definitely look forward to trying Indonesian selection next time around. It is a family owned establishment and they could not be nicer. Definitely worth the out of the way drive for me.

Shrimp and walnut prawn very delicious good size portion nice big shrimp and not gooey . Combination fried rice has plenty of meat. Great flavor and shockingly also has large shrimp. Mongolian beef because I thought I had to give it a try most Asian places I am very particular and don't like chewy meat. Very good not chewy! Bakmi Ayam noodles with chicken and mushroom very good. I like this more than I thought I would. I also appreciate that it had fresh greens on top. it's also served with some chicken broth. I did not use it yet, smells amazing though. When I walked in, I was greeted by two friendly young ladies. I placed my order and waited. I do not have a large waiting area. They also do not have a large dining room. I would love to come back and bring friends as it's a very cute place and the staff is very friendly. Small and casual decor would be a great place to come with friends. They do have some Asian beer in the back cooler. I can see from where I am standing. I apologize, not taking a photo of each dish however I didn't think about it until after I made my plate.
