Shan Chuan

Shan Chuan is THE BEST Chinese in East Falls. The food is fresh and well prepared. The dishes are flavorful and savory. Sweet & Sour Pork, Chicken w/​mixed vegetables and Chicken w/​broccoli are some of my favorites. You can eat in the restaurant or order out. The delivery is sometimes slow, but if you choose to pick up your food it is always ready in about 10 to 15 minutes. They also serve Japanese fare and have beer available as well.

Best food I’ve had in a long time. I’ve lived in NY and NJ, and have to say this was the best I’ve eaten. Their spare ribs are so delicious, and their house special fried rice was great too! This restaurant will be my new go to on Sunday nights.

We ordered the beef and broccoli and general tsos chicken for take out. They gave us the wrong order of chicken and broccoli instead and the seasoning of both dishes were bland. Definitely had much better Chinese!!! The price isn’t cheap either. Will definitely keep a look out for another spot to order from.

I like San Chuan for the fake meat options (I am vegan). The lunch menu has a few choices. The food is delicious but all the available fake meat options taste the same (Gen. tso, sesame, orange, sweet and sour). The Bok Choy with mushrooms is average.

Mediocre Chinese food. Very quick delivery which is always a plus! Went to the actual restaurant once and. Not fond of the environment, dingy and sad looking. We will stick to occasional food deliveries for now.

New to East Falls and was pleasantly surprised with everything we ordered. We had sesame chicken, sushi and tofu soup which was all very good. Friendly service, fast delivery. A bit overpriced.

Great sushi! The chips and dip is amazing too that they bring you before dinner. Full bar with cool drinks! However, the service isn’t that good and I was going to tip the waitress more than I gave but I asked if I could have a little spicy sauce on my sushi roll and she charged me for it and didn’t mention it! Very rude… so her tip was $ 2 less than it could’ve been. But other than that, great food. Lunch specials are the best

Love it here it’s close its clean the people are very nice and they have free delivery so I’ll always tip decent .it’s very good and the Area of East Falls is so nice good location!!! I am very pleased, I’ll have to bookmark this

This is my go to for Chinese delivery in East Falls, although that’s not saying much. Shan Chuan is inconsistent, from barely edible to pretty good. Prices are steep for Chinese but without the quality factor that Han Dynasty brings to the table. However it does meet the Chinese craving when I don’t have a bag of frozen Chinese from the grocery store to heat up. Be careful with your order if heavy grease bothers your stomach. Soups are pretty standard. The veggie dumplings are small, flimsy, and soggy with oil. Decent mock meat options, although not very skillfully seasoned – all the sauces taste the same. Delivery is $ 3 and this does not include tip, so expect to pay $ 40-​$ 50 for dinner for two.

Ate here yesterday and the food was great! Service awesome and June our server was very nice and personable! Very big difference from my previous visit a few months back.
I had lobster rolls and sashimi appetizer which was extremely fresh and tasted fabulous!

The food was quite bland and definitely overpriced. The service was quick, but I do not plan on returning.

Good food. The price is just right and they provide great customer service.
We enjoyed ourselves and had great night

I like this place to order out. I never ate in. They always give plenty of food and I would say a notch above other Chinese restaurants I ordered from in the area. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid option.

My go to delivery place for Chinese food in the Manayunk/​East Falls area. Delivery is fast!
They have free delivery, their food is pretty high quality, they also have six packs!
I like to eat their Mooshu Pork, their walnut shrimp, Yum, and their sashimi lunch special, Decent size, pretty good quality fish. Also their lunch special four flavor beef. Good quality beef, although the dish didn’t come with that much meat.
I cannot recommend their wonton soup or their fried rice. Try to avoid these.

I love this place. It has wonderful wonton soup. Also their satay beef sticks are delicious. I love to go here a lot and the people running it are very nice!

Perfectly adequate Chinese food at perfectly reasonable prices. My in-​laws love Chinese food (of the strip-​mall-​pablum-​equal-​parts-​white-​sugar-​and-​corn-​starch-​for-​sauce variety). I do not. This spot satisfies us all. They have never messed up our twenty+ item phone orders for pick up, and it’s also a decent enough place to sit down and eat. Bonus: the owner is really nice.

It’s a spacious but somehow still cozy Chinese/​Japanese restaurant on the corner of Ridge and Midvale. The Chinese food is fresh and tasty, the sushi is fresh, good fish, and the staff is gentle and friendly. I’ve a lot of dietary restrictions, and they’re totally helpful with working around them, which is pleasant. Overall, it’s a really comfortable place to get food, and I’d recommend!

My go to place for delivery sushi in east falls. Decent quality and a little pricey but overall good. The people who work there a really nice and try to help you out the best that they can.

The waiter glided over to our table like Jen Yu from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. She was that freaking quick. She nurtured my girlfriends incredible urge to drink massive amounts of water, by the minute. So the staff was gracefully energetic. Now on to the food…
I ordered Orange chicken… mmmmm my favorite. I also love ginger, ya know the pink stuff, that sits next to the green stuff. Unfortunately there’s some bad news… My plate was beautifully decorated with a garnish of carved ginger flower and what I thought was wasabi on the side. Unfortunately, my ginger flower, ended up being a carrot! I cried. The Wasabi? It was lettuce. Now even my girlfriend cried. I felt like this was a finishing move and I just lost three rounds of Mortal Kombat. Fatality (deep godlike voice). I recommend they keep the cool carrot design but also add some ginger and wasabi.
On a serious note my Orange Chicken was satisfying, along with the staff, and the environment was cleaner than I expected. I’m sure if you hit the sushi/​drinks bar with friends at lunch or dinner time the experience would be gratifying. I just don’t know if I can forget about the carrot, it was a great piece of art, but I can’t survive life without ginger. I will give this place a try again soon!

Little bit pricey but it’s because Shan Chuan is pretty high quality Chinese food.
Your paying for the non cheap food. And it’s delightful.
The sushi is also very good! I like the spicy trio or the chirashi. Very good for takeout Japanese or Chinese food.
