Shu Han Ju

Highly recommend! The taste is authentic and the portion is great. Each dish can easily feed 2-3 people (H1. Sliced Fish with White or Red Hot Sauce Soup came with two containers, the photo only has one of them), and the delivery was very prompt (we did order during the weird hour though). H3. Spicy Dry Hot Pot had variety of ingredients, including meat, ham, fish, tripe, shrimp. It was not too spicy for Chinese taste, but delicious still. The fish soup was very comforting and the portion was really big.
All entrees came with a box of rice, so no side rice is necessary.

This my local go to for lunch, they have a great lunch specials menu that includes choice of a Spring roll or 3 different soups, a dozen different classic Chinese dishes and your choice of white, brown, or vegetable fried rice. All those choices for less than $13. This already makes it a great find in the neighborhood but the real cherry is that the food is excellent!!! Many times there are Chinese from the neighborhood eating here having some authentic Chinese dishes that look mouth wateringly delicious. I've tried everything on the lunch specials menu for lunch once all the items are well prepared, nicely seasoned and flavorful. They present all the items beautifully and the service is very friendly and accommodating. Some of my favorites are the more spicy choices like;
Twice Cooked Pork, Eggplant in garlic sauce with minced pork, beef with string beans, and finally General Tao's Chicken. Please let them know your spice level and they can accommodate it. I would like to return for dinner and try the regular menu selections so I will update once that happens.
On another note just this week I had lunch here and forgot my debit card, I noticed mid week and came back to inquire about it, it was here waiting for me after 3days. They are a gem in the neighborhood please, support them!

Well, I'm glad everyone else had a good experience dining there. But for me, it wasn't a good experience. I am a first-time customer I ordered delivery and the lady was very defensive when I was trying to order and then she is snappy when I was trying to ask a question about my order. Then the delivery guy was a jerk. I found a disgusting bug in my seasme chicken then white rice need 10 mins more cooked because it was still a little hard. I recommend too examine carefully before you eat or you might get sick.

This restaurant is overpriced for what you get, even by NYC standards. For two of the less expensive entrees (carryout), it cost just over $46.00. The sesame chicken came with literally three of the dinkiest pieces of broccoli I have ever seen. I had to add broccoli from my friend's dish to make this a meal. The portion of bland brown rice they provided was inadequate for leftovers. To top it off, the service was terse and rather unfriendly. Other than its convenient location in the West Village, I can't recommend this place. On a positive note, I love the antique look of their signage.

So great to find an authentic Szechuan restaurant !! Spicy bamboo and fish/tofu dishes were fantastic. Just be careful packing the sauce to-go (great for leftovers though).

The Sichuan noodles were excellent. It comes with minced pork but they can make it vegetarian if you mention it while ordering. I am a vegetarian and I throughly enjoyed it. The sauce was spicy and hit the spot. Service was great.

I always find myself astounded by the exceptional dining experience at Shu Han Ju. This restaurant consistently provides warm and attentive service, as well as delectable cuisine that leaves me feeling comforted and satisfied. It has certainly become one of my favorite spots in the city, a place where I always feel welcome and at home.
