Shan Chinese Buffet Reviews

My husband surprised me on Friday to try this place that we have passed by on our way home from coming back from Chattanooga he said the parking lot has lots of cars out side. I have not had Chinese food for several years. It was very clean and the food was amazing. The waitress Eva was vice nice. I can't wait to go there again and bring my brother with us. Now I have a good Chinese Restaurant to eat at. Thank you Nicole

By Buffet standards, this place is great. Food is fresh and hot (and tasty) and they have a variety to suit all palates. Staff is attentive and busy. We rolled in with 22 people and it was no problem. They set us up in the back room and we had our own banquet. Best Chinese for miles around. Will be back for sure.

My husband and I parked our semi in the big old lot they have in the back and went in for lunch. Unfortunately the power was out today and we only had a card but they were able to take our info to charge us later, so that was awesome. We got the lunch buffet Togo and I filled mine to the brim with all the fresh Chinese they had out. It was sooooo good. Way better than the reviews led on. My husband got a lot of sushi and Chinese he loved it. Too bad the power was out or we would have sat inside. Thank you guys anyways!!

Good food. I am an over the road trucker Truck parking in the back dirt lot Have to wait for your won tons Shrimp runs out fast.

I ate there for the third time yesterday. The first time I was invited to join some friends for dinner. Driving up to the restaurant I was a little leery, but upon entering, it was a good looking Chinese restaurant. The food was surprisingly good. Now having been two more times, I must say the food is amazingly good. Definitely better than any Chinese food I can find around Nashville. From the egg drop soup, to the pork eggrolls, General Tso's chicken, the Sesame Chicken, all very, very good. Some of the best fried rice I've had anywhere. They also have the white Yum Yum sauce, which is better than some I've had recently at Japanese steakhouses. I've never ordered off the menu, but their buffet is a solid 5 stars.
