| - The first time I heard of Shang Artisan Noodle was on an Eater article some time ago. I had completely forgotten about this place until we saw it one night while going to the café next door. So what did we do? We came back the next day for dinner!
It was a Saturday night and it turns out to be their third day in business! Whoa! We have such good timing then! We love trying new places out! The food that Shang Artisan Noodle offers, as well as their seating placements, reminded us a lot of Noodle Man (located on Rainbow and I-215.) They even have a guy that's showcasing how he hand pulls the noodles in the open kitchen!
Shang Artisan Noodle offered four different types of soup noodles: beef noodle, pork belly noodle, pork rib noodles, and seafood noodles. Of those, you get to choose what KIND of noodles you want: knife cut noodles, hand pulled noodles, or regular noodles. My boyfriend and I got their beef noodle with hand pulled noodles. My friend got their beef noodle with knife cut noodles and my other friend got their pork rib with hand pulled noodles.
You can absolutely tell that the noodles were hand pulled because they were all different widths! The noodles that I had in my bowl were a good texture and somewhat al dente, however, my boyfriend stated that his noodles were a little mushy. I'm not sure if that's because his was sitting in his bowl a bit longer or it came that way. His bowl and my friend's bowl with knife cut noodles were served first so they waited for us to get our food before digging in. The beef were really really tender, which is really good! That means they braised it long enough!!! My friend's pork ribs were pretty yummy as well -- it as a really good and familiar flavor to it! Tastes like mom's braising!
The soup base, on the other hand, was a little on the light side. I mean, it can be seen as a good thing or bad thing. To me, I felt as though it was missing something. To other people, it may seem to be the perfect balance. It's not like I'm going to drink the whole bowl of soup so it's fine.
Towards the end of our meal, they gave us a complimentary dish of celery salad! It was a cold salad with celery, peanuts, and carrots! I love celery! And the sauce that they used was really yummy :)! Would definitely get this dish again.
Also! They serve you watermelon infused water, which is really unique. I can't say I liked it though haha. I'm not a watermelon fan so watermelon infused water doesn't do much to me. You are able to just ask for regular water!
Overall, decent food and decent prices. I loveeee hand pulled noodles! So glad that the Chinatown area finally has something like this hear by. Would definitely recommend people in trying this place :)
