Miss Shang-San Mateo

Authentic Guizhou-style dishes and signature sour soup rice noodles shine.

Miss Shang brings a distinctive mix of Chinese regional dishes and inventive combinations to San Mateo. Guizhou sour-soup rice noodles and extra-spicy beef-bone rice noodles give the menu a strong noodle focus. We like how that starting point expands into dishes such as scallion-salt roasted chicken with wild mushroom fried rice and steak rice with black truffle sauce. Guizhou-style chicken with roasted pepper offers another bold option, while Yunnan-style beef sirloin soup with mint takes the meal in a different direction. Handmade shrimp cakes, garlic-and-chili pork, and assorted mushroom dishes add possibilities for sharing. The menu's named regional preparations make it especially interesting for diners who want to explore beyond a standard Chinese takeout order. Miss Shang's appeal is the variety of sour, spicy, herbal, and savory combinations across its noodles, rice dishes, and shared plates.
