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! read more

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. read more

Sooooo I haven't returned to Shan Shan low since the horrendous experience last year, however today I was in need of a good won ton soup.... Let's just say I'm still in need of a good won ton soup. My friend ordered and picked up the won ton soup which was ordered with heavy broth and no bbq pork. The soup arrived FULL of pork and light on broth. It has no flavor, the old man that is always at the front was horribly rude to him which is pretty normal. He asked for hot mustard was given one pack when he asked for another he was told to order MORe soup. SMH. It's sad how downhill this place has gone. The prices continue to rise the food quality and quantity continue to go down. 4.00 extra to have chowmein on your lunch instead of rice smfh. The food taste is always different, oily or dry. Smfh. I had to add broth, salt, white pepper and recook the soup after removing all the bbq pork. Save your money and your time HUNAN is far better. Ohhhhh annnbbbbbd a dirty old carrot and the end piece of a green onion including the little frowns made its way in the soup. lol yum ;-/ read more

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. read more

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. read more

Solid food, service size is nice. Flavoring could use some work n prices a little high. Very traditional looking ambience

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. read more

Yuck, yuck, yuck! The review requires 85 characters and that's the only word to come to mind. The absolute worst Chinese Food I've ever had. The pork fried rice tasted like it was cooked in dishwasher liquid. Again yuck. read more

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 :) read more

Shan Shan Low Restaurant - Beef chow mein and lunch Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Concord, California

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. read more

We came here for a Friday night dinner with my family, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. We waited about 25 minutes before anyone even came to take our order, and when the waiter finally did, he was very pushy about what we should get. After that, he barely checked on our table at all. When the food arrived, the wonton soup was cold, and several of the other plates were cold as well. We ordered 6 plates total and spent over $200, so we expected much better quality and service. To make things worse, as we were wrapping up and gathering our things, the waiter came back looking for the check and said we had put 0 for the tip. We were planning to leave cash, but when he saw that, he demanded more money. Overall, the service was rude, the food was cold, and the experience was not worth the price. I will never return here again. read more

This is a family owned restaurant and they never disappoint when it comes to service and food. Staff is attentive and makes accommodations easy. Chef in the kitchen throws down authentic tasty food. It's a casual vibey place. Come dressed up or dressed down. Great for lunch. For lunch, I recommend their lunch special menu; I went for the Mongolian Chicken (can request instead of beef). Dishes to try: Chicken potstickers, Salt and Pepper prawns and Wor Wonton Soup Tasty: 8/10 Service: 10/10 Will I come back: Yes Price: $$ Picture: Menu and food from the lunch special read more

Based on reviews, wanted to give this place a try. We walked in to the very big restaurant and was seated right away near the front window. There was 2 other tables of customers. The smell of dirty carpet was over whelming. Looking around I saw dirty rugs on top of dirty carpet. While sitting at tte table, i couldnt help but notice how everything in there was dirty, salt and pepper shakers hadn't been cleaned down in a long time apparently. The server came by and provided us with a tea pot of hot water and tea bags. The pot its self was grimy, it had old food and ketchup on the pot. I would assume they do not clean the pot after every customers use and by the looks it may have been reused over a dozen times with out being cleaned. If this is how they keep a dining room where customers can see, imagine what the kitchen looks like and how food is prepared. I decided to save us from food poisoning and leave, we will never be back. read more

I've eaten here several times and only recently noticed the chicken has a strange, spongy texture. It doesn't seem like real chicken breast -- more like processed meat. Maybe they've always used this and I just picked up on it now, but either way it's disappointing for the price. The sauce and flavors are good, and I did enjoy the wonton soup and the fried rice, but the quality of the chicken really let me down. Service was great and fast since I ordered to-go and the ambience is chill, peaceful, and welcoming. read more

Shan Shan Low Restaurant - Lemon Chicken (Processed Chicken) - Chinese Near Me - Concord, California

My son and I went for an early Xmas dinner, and this place was actually pretty good. It's your stereotypical established Chinese restaurant. The portions were good, and the food tasted pretty good. We had 3 different entrees including noodles (long life and all that). All three did not disappoint. The "good", the food and service. The "bad", the restaurant needs a reno. I think the last time they did anything was probably back in the 90s when they opened this place. So, if you just happened to be in Concord, and need a decent Chinese restaurant, check out this place. You won't disappointed. It's authentic and affordable. read more

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. read more

Oh my gosh the food was so good! The price point was very acceptable and the service was stellar. We got the beef chow fun noodles which is my daughter's favorite and she said it was the best ever. And we also had their special bird's nest thingamajigger and it was delicious. The showstopper was the War Wonton soup in my opinion, sooooo yummy! I will have to revisit this restaurant every time I am in town! read more

My father has been taking our family to this Chinese restaurant for years. We even held a dinner party here in the past. This restaurant is located in Park n Shop next to other very good restaurants. We had to wait a few minutes to get seated because it was a busy night. Not surprising because this place is top tier when it comes to authentic Chinese food. We ordered the salt and pepper pork chops, Mongolian beef, and fried rice. I wanted to order more but the waiter stopped me cause the food does come family style and in big portions. I can't help that I was ordering with my stomach! Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend their salt and pepper pork chops and Mongolian beef. Service has always been great and after years of eating at this establishment, I can honestly say that everything that I've tried was good. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good authentic and affordable Chinese restaurant. I'm craving their food right now as I post this review! read more

I have ALWAYS ordered from here cuz they have the BeST flavor on the green beans and veggie potstickers. Of course the one time I do a review it was a 2 star. The salad was drenched... and I mean... one doable so the entire thing went in the garbage wasting an easy 15$ wasn't too happy about that. The postickers were broken apart but the flavor was good... Eggs fried rice always bomb too 10/10 and garlic string beans 10/10 The salad tho. Not only drenched but it had a huge or two in it. On white dressing.. also unexpected ... black bugs r pretty noticeable. I dunno Bummer I hate wasting money and food but that was simply inedible. This is the one and only time that it's happened that I can remember that is why it's still getting 4 stars. But I prob will take a break for a lil while. I hope they pay a little more attention and continue to value themselves the way they used to. I hope this was just a fluke. Cute ambiance... family vibe and open seating. Service is usually very good. read more

I decided to dine here for lunch. The dining room is spacious and easy to maneuver from table to table. I ordered the sweet and sour pork lunch special. It came with a soup and fried egg roll. It was a nice start. When my entree arrived, I was pleased to see that they serve it separately from the rice. It was a big portion and delicious. Service was quick and friendly. I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant if you are shopping around the 99 Ranch Market area. read more

We stopped by this place to eat before heading back to Sacramento. It was lunch time but we ordered family style. Some of the dishes we ordered were won ton soup, Mongolian beef(great ratio of beef and onions; beef was tender), sizzling beef, general tsou's chicken (super flavorful- perfect crispy breading) and garlic saiteed spinach. The server even gave us complimentary egg rolls which was nice. The food came out fast and timely. Love finding hole in the wall restaurants like these to try!

Shan Shan Low Restaurant - Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Concord, California

Ambiance - pretty classic and standard chinese restaurant. The inside of the restaurant looked clean and tidy. Service - not the friendliest service but that's expected from chinese restaurant establishments. Our actual takeout waiting time was much longer than we were told it would be over the phone, so that wasn't ideal. Food - in general they taste good but it was a bit pricey for the portion that gave us which wasn't too big/generous. It was $120 ish for a total of 7 dishes. Some of the standouts among what we ordered: - black pepper beef: beef was tender, black pepper flavor was very pronounced. It was probably my fave dish. Delish. - Mongolian beef: tasted good with the right level of spiciness. I loved how the dish wasn't too wet/saucy. - sliced beef with mushroom: good flavor but pretty standard, nothing to write home about. - veggie deluxe: tasty veggie stir fry in white sauce. Good variety of veggies in there. - veggie chow mein: delicious chow mein despite it not containing any meat. Yum. - garlic flavored eggplant: yummy. Eggplant was tender, the flavor was just the right combination of sweet and spicy. Delicious. read more

I had read great reviews for this restaurant, especially its lunch specials. We didn't have long for lunch, but we were already picking something up in the plaza so we decided to come here for lunch (on my birthday!). We were sat down quickly, but we were rushed to order. Service is prompt here. There are a handful of lunch options which include an eggroll, soup, fried rice (or plain) and hot tea. The lunch specials were about $12-14 depending on the main dish you choose. My husband ordered Mongolian Beef and I ordered the Mandarin Fried Shrimp. We shared our dishes and enjoyed both. The shrimp dish only came with 4 shrimp, but they were big. The Mongolian Beef came with a large portion! The food was good, but not amazing. The eggroll was soggy and tasted microwaved maybe. The soup was nice. The fried rice was basic, but the portion was gigantic! They served it in a large bowl for the two of us to share. I think the lunch specials are a good value and it was good enough to return, but I don't think I would return for dinner as the prices are higher and the quality was good, but not great. The entrees were better than the starters (eggroll and hot and sour soup) and the fried rice. I'd come again for lunch though! read more

I've only dined in once and ordered to go a handful of times. I don't necessarily stray from my go-to dishes once I know they're good from this place, so this review is for 2 dishes. LOL Mandarin Fried Chicken - soooooooo good!! Can't get enough of it. I'm a sucker for breaded, fried chicken pieces with a good sticky sauce and this hits the spot. Sweet and slightly spicy and garlicky! BBQ Pork Fried Rice - your standard issue fried rice but it's actually also prepared really well. Isn't dry and just the right amount of veggies and meat. Give them a try! read more
