About this place
Diners who order the fried rice often mention its light, separate grains and well-judged seasoning. You could savour it on its own or pair it with another dish. The menu also offers ramen and champon, making the choice between rice and noodles part of the fun.
People who have tried Shanhai-ken’s champon have commented on its salt-based broth and generous portion. One diner describes the Deluxe Champon as a hearty bowl of pork-bone broth topped with vegetables, seafood and roast pork. There are regular, Special and Deluxe versions to choose from: the Deluxe is an option when you’re especially hungry, while the regular champon makes a good starting point.
If roast pork is what you’re after, consider the roast-pork ramen or wonton roast-pork ramen. One diner ordered a mixed rice bowl and roast-pork wonton noodles, and described breaking up the large pieces of roast pork in the rice bowl as they ate. Another enjoyed the fatty, thick-cut pork in the Special Champon. You can also add a side dish, such as pan-fried gyoza, sweet-and-sour pork or fried pork. A diner who ordered a sweet-and-sour pork set meal with gyoza at lunch recalled that it came with two small side dishes and made for a generous meal. Diners have described the gyoza as light and vegetable-forward, while others have noted a pleasant amount of garlic; either way, they make an easy accompaniment to noodles or a set meal.
