Honestly a great place. The food is pretty stellar and authentically Chinese- with more Americanized options available if desired. I honestly really think it's a beautiful place inside since the remaster- but if it's cold out, wear warm clothing, it doesn't have great air conditioning inside. The staff doesn't talk much, yet they are cordial and not rude to you when ordering. Shun de Mom is a must-try at least once for any student in college station, especially engineers so close during their weekday lunch special (from 12-2 I think) read more

Interesting dining restaurant. Not very cute inside. Smack in the middle of a construction zone outside and parking is non existent. I didn't want to park at the restaurant across the street and risk getting towed so I parked down the street. The food was pretty solid and definitely feels like a place college students wouldn't mind eating at. I think that was all that was there when we went. read more

TLDR: food quality went downhill after the renovations; would not recommend anymore. It breaks my heart to give Shun de Mom so low of a review. Last year in Spring 2023 (before the semester-long renovations), Shun de Mom was my favorite eatery in CSTAT. I ate here at least 2-3 times/month. However, they're not the same anymore (maybe a different management staff?). For starters, they changed their menu and removed the Thailand Chicken (my favorite dish) along with raising their prices slightly. More importantly, they changed the sauces so "saucy" dishes (like the Orange Chicken) just did not taste good. The chicken lo mein had very little flavor and the noodles seemed "rubbery" for some reason. Lastly, the salt and pepper pork ribs looked exceedingly deep-fried and I'm fairly sure had MSG on them. The only semi-decent dish was the chicken fried rice. So if you're hankering for chicken-fried rice within walking distance of campus, then this is your place. One positive is the servers were exceedingly friendly and the food came out fairly quickly (~10 minutes). The chairs are metal and neither comfortable nor uncomfortable. read more

See all

The place doesn't display their food like the pictures. You can't really tell what you're ordering. They don't even have pictures of the food up. We walked in, tried to go over the menu, couldn't find descriptions, and we jetted. Can't say we'd go back now. Waste of time..... read more

Great place for chinese food, their spicy beef noodles are definitely the best meal to get and i would easily recommend it to anyone. food came out fast and was not disappointed. read more

The lunch plate is just weird and the way they serve it just isn't good. They give you an option of rice or rice, then three "entrée's", which consisted of, bean sprouts, green beans, and mushrooms, then four assortments of "meats", what kind of meat and what cut NO idea, there was no signage for you to know what you were even pointing at. One of the meat options I did get had about a million tiny bones in it and hardly any meat on it, I have to be honest all I could think was I am eating poor little fluffy the cat. The other option I picked was sweet and sour pork, but they don't even tell you where the condiments are ect... Maybe dinner is better but its a hard pass for lunch. read more

The food and prices are both super good, only thing that stops is from being 5 stars is that it's closed while google and Yelp show it as opened quite often. read more

Used to walk down here from my freshman apartment last year and just pick up dinner. So good and good priced

They give a lot of food for the price. I paid $10 and was able to make 2 meals out of this food. It's very delicious. This is my second time coming here and have not been disappointed yet. My friends and I were walking around the store while waiting for our food and the gentleman who took our order hunted us down and brought our food to us. Talk about great service. I will be back read more

Shun De Mom - Sichuan chicken and rice - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

Going back to 5 stars! I still wouldn't recommend the noodles, but the normal plates are just too good for 4 stars! I had the kung pao chicken this time, and it was really good! I requested it to be spicy, but normally it should come with a low level of spice. The flavor was awesome, the portion was huge (I ended up eating it for lunch and dinner), and the service was quick and outstanding. read more

Shun De Mom - Delicious Kung pao chicken - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

I lived in China for 6 years, and can say confidently that this is absolutely the most authentic Chinese food in College Station - 太好吃了！

Horrible customer service, I walked in before closing time and was turned away saying they were closed when they weren't. I saw food on the grill and a to-go order being handed out. Lost a customer over here.. turning away money for an overpriced meal anyways is crazy. read more

One of my favorite places in College Station, and the best Chinese food I've had. Their more Americanized food is really good, but I'd encourage you order off the "Chinese" menu for something authentic and delicious! I've eaten here for years and the staff is always very friendly. The restaurant is nice but somewhat resembles an Asian market with their storage being out in the open. That might be a minus to some but I'd highly recommend here regardless. read more

The chicken lo-mein is delicious and the staffs are friendly. The spiciness was perfect and the noodle quality was good.

They don't give a lot anymore. I eat it and I don't feel full. But in general the food is good, but they fry everything. There's nothing good or bad about the service. read more

Well as Chinese I really love this place . The food served here are the same as what I ate at canteen in China. I also tried Panda Express at once. I feel Panda Express is Ok but somehow strange when I tasted the sweet and sour flavor. But here the salty and a little spicy food is more authentic. I do admit that the environment is not satisfying here and always crowded when lunch time. But as is shown, the costumers are most Chinese and it's the best evidence of its authenticity! When I try some foreign food, I always want the original one. As most steaks and pizzas are different in China, I will never agree that Panda Express is Chinese food (It's more American style), and when some of my American friends are curious about Chinese food, it's the firsT place for introducing. read more

This is a cute hole in the wall place. Went there yesterday for lunch with my boyfriend and the staff was really nice. The cashier had to get another employee who spoke English but I didn't mind that. Our food came out promptly and was steaming hot. Kind of odd that the food was on paper plates but it was pretty cheap with huge portions. Seriously, I took it home and ate some as a snack later and for lunch today. The orange chicken had a nice crunch, not soggy or overly spicy. The rice was sticky and fluffy and the egg rolls were crunchy and full. Only problem is the parking for the area but that isn't their fault. Very quiet but tasty place, I'll be back! read more

Shun De Mom - Mongolian chicken, egg rolls, orange chicken, white rice - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

Fantastic place for authentic Chinese food!! I usually order the Chef's Special Triple Delight with an order of the pepper steak or broccoli beef. The servings are usually enough to share with a friend or for tomorrow's leftovers! read more

Great place. Little hole in the wall spot most people don't know about. But the food is amazing and the price is even better.

They've raised the price of their lunch plate in the past couple months, but the food is still good and still fairly reasonably priced. I think I've noticed a little more variety than before in the past few visits i've made. The credit charge used to be 9.74$ and is now 10.81. read more

We decided to try it after discovering Yaku was gone. The price was nice, $7.99 for the rice and 3 entrees, but the cheap pricing showed in the selection and quality of the food. Everything was luke warm, at best, and makes me think the steam tables were not working. Hopefully doesn't result in a case of food poisoning :-( I got the pork and onions, which was really onions with 2-3 peppered up pork pieces, the chicken and broccoli, which was bland but not horrible, and the orange chicken, which was very bland - no sweetness nor spice. The rice was cooked perfectly, at least. My partner got the same two first dishes, and his pork and onions was even more onions and less pork. He also got the pork and tofu, which actually had no pork at all. The tofu was gelatinous and just plain gross. We were shocked to learn that this was a second location of the restaurant in BCS Asian Mart, which we'd heard nothing but rave reviews about. That reputation alone *might* get me to try them again once they are opened enough to actually have menus and the operation is more polished, but for now, would definitely NOT recommend. read more

1) Both quantity (for price) and quality are great. 2) Very close to campus. 3) My friends from China say it's very close to authentic Chinese cuisine. read more

This place is really great for lunch if you want something quick. Lunch is a 3 entree with rice box for $8. Their entrees have no labels so if you're unfamiliar with Chinese dishes you'll either have to trust your intuition, ask what things are, or look at what other people are ordering. If you don't want to take any chances with what you're ordering don't go here, but otherwise it's a really good option for getting a big lunch quickly and close to campus. read more

Atmosphere inside isn't the best but the food is absolutely delicious and makes up for it. Tried the orange chicken and fell in love. Never had orange chicken that good. Don't try the jalapeño chicken unless you can handle the spice. read more

Terrible service and tasteless food. Those five words perfectly explain my experience from eating at this restaurant. Never in my life have I had such bland and tasteless Mongolian beef which came out to be $10. Hell, even the mediocre and bland food at Panda Express has more flavor, spices, and edibleness when it comes to their food. The fact Panda Express is better than a restaurant trying to portray themselves as Quality Chinese restaurant is already a cause for concern for this review. Trying to finish their Mongolian beef was literally the closest thing to self torture one can do if they aren't a masochist. I've had more pleasure watching CNN, working out until passing out, and just plain having to work for a week on end THAN eating their food. From someone who can eat almost any food without complaint, I have never had the displeasure of throwing fresh food out!! A problem I could tell from the lack of flavor was just the fact that they forgot to add Sesame oil a KEY ingredient in almost all Asian food. I wish I can get a refund but the fact that the people working here don't speak English and had to translate my order along with how much it costs from English to Chinese, well you can just say good luck. Since time and money are precious resources I beg all those who read this review to use what little time and money you got and NEVER come here. That is unless you are willing to smash your head against a wall wishing you never ate their food. Then so be it. read more

VERY mediocre food and vibe. For being "authentic" chinese, the food is not better(quality, taste, portion) than Panda Express, if not worse. All the entrees are flooded with oil. read more

First place I actually liked chinese food (real Chinese according to my friend). The rice box is a good thing as you get to try 3 entrees and it's very very close to the university. read more

Shun De Mom is my favorite Asian takeout restaurant in College Station. The service is great and the menu offers a perfect range of choices. They give a lot of food for an affordable price and you can see them cook it fresh. I am always happy with my meal and happy to support this business. read more

Pretty good - $7.99 for rice and 3 entrees, no tax if you use cash. The restaurant was full at lunch time but the line was quick, and they even gave me a free drink for being a first time visitor. I'm not entirely sure what all the dishes I ate were, but it was good and I'll be back again, I'm sure. read more

Is this really the same as the original? What I had (to go) was indistinguishable from Panda Express: not interesting, bland, cheap quality ingredients. It was fast, and it was cheap. Just like Panda Express. Really quite stunned at how different this place is from the other one. Apparently its popular with the local Asian community, but for the life of me I can't figure out why. Maybe there is a secret menu (I didn't see a menu, just a buffet line), or maybe I just ordered the wrong things. If you like rice, you'll get roughly twice the amount served at the other place. Someone behind the counter will hand you a to go box with approximately one pound of rice in it, and then, depending on what you ask for, will put about two tablespoons of veggies and protein on top. No bueno. Glad I gave it a go, but will stick to the original. read more

A nice and cheap place to get chinese food. They've got a few selection of dishes. Always a favorite go to. One problem that occurs most of the time is the saltiness. read more

I like the tofu and beef with rice, not quiet sure what it is called but it was really good. This place replaced Yakku. I don't think this is a japanese restaurant but a Chinese restaurant. This was my first visit and will likely to come again for that good tofu. read more

Terrible service. Lied about my order and refused to remake it. I ordered mapo tofu with pork and they tell me it comes with no pork until after I get it. Would not come again read more

Shun De Mom - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

My favorite place to eat within walking distance of work. Dishes are consistently good. It's cheap and the portion sizes are huge by any standard. $8 cash will get you 2 vegetables and a meat. Drink included. The ethnic flavors are a pleasant change of pace in comparison to the burgers, tacos, and fried chicken this town is flooded with. read more

The food is super delicious and at a great price too! I'm also happy my dinner order was able to be fulfilled during lunch time at around 1:35pm on 11-29-17. I would have come back at 2pm or later to order the delicious Shrimp Lo Mein and Chicken Egg Rolls but I'm so glad I didn't have to wait. I'm sorry for any trouble I had caused and I am grateful for everyone's understanding. The Shrimp Lo Mein and Chicken Egg Rolls will provide a delicious feast for days to come. I may even try the lunch menu next time! The prices for the lunch options are great and the food did look quite scrumptious, but I just wanted those dinner items that time around. Oh, and I may try more dinner items as well some time in the future. Go on and try the amazing food, whether it be for lunch or for dinner! A free soda with dinner items is a great plus too! read more

Not sure why this location has so many fewer reviews than on other review platforms, so I figured I'd give them one here. We ordered Mongolian beef and Sesame chicken for dinner and it was cooked fresh to order. It wasn't a peak time and the place was still very busy, so that was a good sign. The food came out promptly, but not super fast since it was cooked fresh. The sesame chicken was a little light on sauce, but had amazing flavor and was in nicely crisp bite size pieces, unlike the large chunks found at some other places. The Mongolian beef had a good spice to it and an healthy amount of sauce and vegetables, all cooked extremely well and complimenting the tender beef well. They both came with sticky white rice by default which was nice, and I usually don't have much to say about rice, but it was nice fluffy with a good firmness to it. Couple the food with the very courteous staff and it's a real winner to me! read more

Great General Tso's chicken, $9 for an entree, rice, and a drink! No tax if you pay cash. Friendly staff! Nice atmosphere in the restaurant too. read more

I came to Shun De Mom on August 24, bought lunch, and after the transaction was done, I casually asked the cashier if there was still a use for the punch card (buy 10 meals, get 1 free) that I still had from Yaku, the prior restaurant at this location. The cashier said they were allowing customers to turn in their Yaku punch cards for a free meal. When I returned last week to redeem this offer, the cashier (a different person) had not heard of this offer, so he asked the manager. The manager, cashier, and one other employee spoke among themselves in a foreign language in front of me for a few moments, and then the manager refused to honor the offer. I told the manager that one of his employees said I could turn in the Yaku punch card for a free meal. He answered that the employee must have been wrong because they had never offered such a deal. If that is the case, why did they have a dish with a bunch of used Yaku punch cards next to the cash register? To be fair, their food was good on my first visit, but this kind of treatment (speaking in another language so I can't understand, and then refusing to honor their word) is unacceptable. read more
