" I was hopeful about trying Shang Yuen, but the food didn't leave a lasting impression. The beef and broccoli was a bit bland, and the crab rangoon didn't have much filling. Pretty average experience overall. The atmosphere is nice but just didn’t win me over. I'll keep looking for my perfect Chinese spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have always loved getting takeout from Shang Yuen. Their fried rice is massive—I'm always surprised by how much food I get for the price. The only downside was that the last time I ordered, the chicken in my sesame chicken dish was a little dry, which was disappointing. However, they do have the best crab rangoons in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took a chance on Shang Yuen given the reviews, and I must say it lived up to expectations! The hot and sour soup was a highlight for me, bursting with flavor. I ordered a combination plate with rice, and they certainly delivered on the portions, a great deal for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a lovely meal at Shang Yuen. The service was fast, and the quality of the food was good. I had their fried rice with shrimp, and it was quite generous in size. The establishment could use a little decor upgrade, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn’t enjoy my visit as much as I hoped. The orange chicken was overly sugary and didn’t have much chicken. I've come here before and usually love it, so I’m a bit surprised. Service was still decent, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shang Yuen has been a part of my life for years, but I noticed some recent inconsistencies. The orange chicken I had the last time was a bit tougher, and I felt the service was slower than usual. However, the atmosphere remains comfortable, and I always leave feeling satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Service at Shang Yuen has been spot on these last couple of years. The employees always greet you and make sure everything is to your liking. I really enjoyed the shrimp chow mein, and they’ve kept the same recipes that I loved over the years, which keeps me coming back. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
