Shu Express - Avon

Authentic and delicious Really enjoyed rice and dumplings eastern chicken had too much lemon grass

Best Chinese food in Farmington valley. Don 't let the location or decor fool you. This place is legit. Not your ordinary Americanized Chinese menu (even though they have some options I 'd that 's what you want). We had the Napa Beef and shredded beef with green chili pepper. Both were AMAZING. We like spicy food so be careful with these. I will be a regular now. Fantastic!!!!

The people seemed nice, though I was shocked that two vegetable fried rices, two vegetable lomeins, and two fried scallion orders came out to $80. I was willing to let that side, if the food was good. To begin with, the serving sizes were half what every other Chinese food restaurant is normally. On top of that, the food was greasy and unappealing. I have never left such a terrible review. I’m disappointed it had to be for Shu Express.

I’m happy SHU came to Avon! Now we don’t have to go all the way to West Hartford. This is Szechuan Chinese food which is much different from the typical American Chinese food. It’s a little more expensive, but the quality is worth it and it’s so good. It has an authentic taste to it. I highly recommend the dan dan mei and chengdu dumplings ours were cooked through. If you like a lot of sauce and spicy savory food, you’ll like SHU!

Some reviewers shared their experience of raw dumplings, may be the managers saw this and told their cooks to NEVER do this again, at all cost...Because the beef dumplings I got were very very overcooked, more charred black than anything else.The menu specifies which items are spicy, so I went with the Mongolian Beef as it was not stated spicy, this was wrong. Excluding the unknowing unwanted spice, it was extremely bland, and the only thing it's served with is onion, literally one entire onion cut up for your pleasure to eat with the few pieces of beef you get. The sauce was more of an oil than sauce, just greasy and bland.May be other items are better, but there are better cheaper Chinese restaurants in the area that I'll gladly take over this one.
