Reviews for Taste of SHU: Authentic Szechuan Cuisine-??? in Charlotte, NC

It is truly authentic Chinese food as one would say… if you like American Chinese food then be prepared to try this out as it... would be different. The Chinese peppercorns in some dishes certainly makes your mouth numb for sometime… enjoy the tofu as itis very soft and tasty, the eggplant with garlic sauce is great as well… we also enjoyed the beef with white rice… overall Iwould say 8/10 on taste as I loved it.

Aweful! Only gave one star because I was unable to give zero. Okay, so the walk-in was a pleasant welcoming. Not very busy at... all. My daughter and I sit down and order up two bowls of "Tea Smoked Noodle Duck Soup". First off, it was, to say the leastabout it, flavorless. If it was not for the duck in the soup, definitely blah, blane. OMG it is soup. Soup is made for justchowing/sipping down. Not here, nope, not the case. Secondly, it was full of bones and I do mean FULL of chopped bones, sliversof bones, definitely no slurping here, that's too dangerous. We had to eat the duck off the bones, so this soup easily developedinto a finger soup, literally! May I say again, it's soup! Third, no waiting on us to see if perhaps we wanted or neededanything to drink, no extra napkins, no condiments for soup, nothing more, nothing... I believe a tip is warranted when thepatrons needs or wants are at the very least, somewhat ok, somewhat met for that dining. Many restaurant employees today believethey deserve a tip no matter what or just because they showed up for work and brought you the food that you and I'll say itagain, that you paid for... Hey it all begins in the service area and if those needs are not met, then hell no, no tipperiod! The waiter, the waitress they all work together with one another, a team effort, a job, so it's a win win situation. Butthis out right, did not deserve any tip. I give good tips, I give not so good tips, when warranted... Ok, here is the kicker???? My daughter pays for the meal and we get up and we leave. This waiter runs out of the restaurant chasing us down yellingthat we took the wrong receipt because there is no tip on his receipt ????. Chased us down! Then, when I explained the service,the meal did not warrant any tip, he said ok, no big deal, no problem, fine. As we were walking away, he said "you're justshameful!" Honestly, the service and the food was shameful! You want a tip, buy Honda stocks! Check out the photo of Read more

Another authentic Chinese restaurant in Charlotte. This is a Szechuan(province in southwestern China) cuisine restaurant and I... grew up in Szechuan, so I can say the food here is pretty authentic. Szechuan cuisine is typically spicy and has strong flavors.If you like spicy food, you will love this place. However, I do think this place is a little over priced and the portion issmall. Read more

Food is great, not sure authentic as I am not from China. Service was good too. We were seated pretty quick. The waiter was... quite friendly. The ambiance is great. My wife (a vegetarian) liked the tofu dish. My fish sizzler was pretty good as well. Butif you are by yourself or a family of 2, then you have very limited choice of starter soup or appetizer. Especially if you havea vegetarian, no good choice of starter soup or appetizer at all. I did advise the waiter to consider that in future. If you arewith a family of 3+, no problem. I was going to give 4 star, but decided to stick to 3 because of the reason above. Will visitwhen I have my family with 4+ people to join. Read more

Taste of SHU was exactly what I needed. Authentic Chinese dishes so rich in flavor; you'll lose your marbles. I couldn't believe... I stumbled across this location. Well decorated on the inside. Staff was present. Service was extremely speedy. My onlycomplaint is the pricing. The cheapest dishes seem to be around $14/15 and it continued to increase from there. Pretty expensiveif you ask me. Other than that I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. Personally, I would return! Read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. They definitely have (Szechuan) dishes you will not find at other traditional... Chinese restaurants in Charlotte. And they also have intestines! These two facts alone will make me come back. Read more

Enjoyed the Chengdu beef flaming pan, green beans, and fish hot broth. Everything was spicy and delicious. Both of the entrees... came with a ton of veggies as well. The beef in particular had some cool mushrooms that were fun to try. The best part is wehave enough for seconds tomorrow. Read more
