Shang Cafe Fremont — Restaurant in Fremont

Excellent food that have different flavor profiles even when they are all spicy. We typically order to go and this time we were able to dine in and it's so much better! You get the nice presentation with dishes on top of flaming stands for the tofu and fried intestines. It feels like you get more food at the restaurant than to go as well.

We came at dinner opening to grab a table and scanned the qr code at the table to start ordering. The waitress will come by to confirm your order and provide extra napkins. A water pitcher is available on the table.

It's so hard to pick which dishes we liked best because they are all unique and taste so good. None of the spicy dishes were overpoweringly spicy but you do feel the numbing spicy slowly creep up as you keep eating. We got great contrasting dishes with the fried intestines opposite the intestines in the soup. The maoxuewang has a bunch of other items in it like fish, veggies, beef tripe, quail eggs and more. The mapo Tofu with pig brains has a silky soft and thicker quality than the soup based...

Authentic Sichuan Cuisine From the moment I stepped in, the rich aroma of authentic Sichuan spices whetted my appetite instantly!

Fresh Ingredients, Genuine Flavors: The duck blood in the Mao Xue Wang was tender, the tripe crispy, with layers of numbing-spicy goodness. The Sichuan Pepper Beef was exceptionally flavorful—succulent, fragrant, and packed with a mouth-tingling peppercorn punch! You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients.

Lightning-Fast Service, No Long Waits.Dishes started arriving within 15 minutes of ordering—a lifesaver for a hungry diner! The Fu Qi Fei Pian (Couple's Sliced Beef) deserves special mention—thinly sliced, perfectly spiced, with a hint of sweetness balancing the heat.

Attentive Service, Warm Hospitality：The staff was incredibly friendly, checking spice preferences and offering recommendations. They kept our tea refilled and plates changed promptly, all with...

A small cozy restaurant for Sichuan cuisine. Hospitable staff and efficient service.

We had 夫妻肺片 (Sliced Beef Combination in Spicy Sauce) and 椒麻葱香腰片 (Pig Kidney with Green Onion Pepper Sauce) for appetizers - both were decent. The must-have 藤椒活鱼 (Boiled Live Fish in Green Pepper Soup) lived up to its reputation - super tender and we finished up the black fungus and mushrooms in the soup as well. On the rendering of 手撕包菜 (Stir-Fried Shredded Cabbage) there was also no more to ask for - not greasy, at the same time crispy and soft. And the real wow moment came for the veggie dish (not sure about its name) - the unexpected salted egg yolk elevated the humble dish to a higher realm. That being said, the only thing I’d say to avoid was 蚂蚁上树 (Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork). On the whole, a very pleasant gourmet dinner!

P.S. We ordered 少盐 ‘less salt’ for all dishes and every one agreed that the touch of salt...
