Shao Shan - Menu

Must try at this restaurant.. Situated in a calm place.. Really good service.. Hospitable and amicable waiters

The Canard Piquant was great not too spicy but with a range of tastes and a little bite. I was the only gweilo (apologies if that's not the correct description) and that's always a promising indication.

Many people may not know the fine distinction of cuisine from different parts of China. Here you will get the food from the native of Chairman Mao's birth place. If you want really spicy food in Brussels, come and try it here. The dishes are authentic and cannot be found elsewhere in Belgium. Remember to take everything: starter, main course and dessert!

Nous y sommes allés pour le déjeuner en week-end avec quelques attentes selon les bons avis sur TripAdvisor, mais il s'est avéré que la nourriture est juste moyenne. Nous pouvons goûter que la nourriture est fraîchement préparée mais la saveur n'est pas aussi remarquable que nous le pensions. La serveuse était assez gentille cependant. Comme nous étions les seuls clients là-bas, la nourriture est arrivée assez rapidement.

Nous avons passé un excellent repas. Des dumplings et des calamars en entrée, et des plats de boeuf et de crevettes avec du riz vapeur en plat principal. Nous avons suivi les conseils de la serveuse très serviable pour avoir les meilleurs plats et n'avons pas été déçus. Super utilisation du piment, nous avons tout adoré. Nous n'avons pris qu'une seule photo car nous étions trop occupés à manger une fois qu'ils sont arrivés tous les deux.

One of the best chinese meals I ever had. Non of the westernised dishes here, but authentic food, with proper seasoning. Staff is extremely friendly and obviously very proud to serve this food. Apparently they rotate chefs every couple of months, and only chefs who have had a particular kind of education in China are allowed to make dishes from this region. Don't get discouraged by the strange exterior or 80's interior, but go in (or book in advance), you won't be disappointed.

Nous avons suivi la recommandation de Tripadvisor et avons déjeuné dans ce restaurant. Seule déception ! Nous avons commandé le bœuf bouilli en plat principal dans lequel nous n'avons trouvé que plusieurs petites tranches de bœuf sans saveur. Les autres plats étaient également médiocres. Le chef a été très agressif et peu aimable lorsque le problème lui a été signalé. À éviter certainement si vous ne voulez pas gâcher votre week-end ! Vous aurez certainement un bien meilleur choix avec le même prix à Bruxelles !

I have ordered the boiled fish and the mao's meat. The boiled fish is what impressed me most. It is with Zanthoxylum and dry hot pepper, bean sprout is at the bottom. Even though there is not so much fish, nor many vegetables. I have to say this is delicious and authentic, and I gave my scores mainly based on this. Mao's meat is in average. The color is too dark, the taste is too salty in terms of Chinese flavor. The annoying thing is that we have found a piece of meat with nipple on it. Oh... that really sucks. The soup is ordinary.

A warm welcome is assured by Bei Cha* at her Hunanese establishment. Hunan is a region noted for its use of chili peppers as well as being the birth place of Chairman Mao! Well located in the down town centre the venue is opposite the Radisson hotel and flanks the new and vast pedestrian zone. You'll find a young, modern atmosphere, lots of Chinese punters and good food. Some specialities need to be ordered ahead as they take time to prepare: the Lotus leaf steamed glutinous rice with spare ribs is one ... and that's tasty so worth the effort. Look for the Mini Woks especially the cauliflower one for veggies! Take away's are possible. Lunch-time trade is brisk. Evenings, parking is feasible...
