Sheyan

So here is a review from a southern-Chinese Jew... This is as close as you can get to kosher authentic pan-Chinese food in a Jerusalem restaurant. The chef is specialized in Northern Chinese food, which is heavier tasting than Southern. Since the level of seasoning and menu are reasonably adapted to Israeli preferences, if you are Chinese and know in advance what to order off the menu, that'd be even more authentic. Otherwise, stick with what they have. The wontons were good. The soup base was saltier than I'm used to. We ordered their best selling chicken nuggets with pineapples in a sweet sauce. They could consider adding more sauce and making the taste a little stronger. It is quite well fried, not oily at all. In Hong Kong, this dish is also made with bits of red bell peppers and green bell peppers for colour. I ordered 水煮牛肉 off the menu which is *kinda* like the idea of Moroccan fish, but it’s Chinese beef. Basically beef pieces in a spicy sauce. I took home the leftovers and mixed the sauce and the beef with thick rice noodles - it's PERFECT, despite a missing spice which they didnt have in the kitchen. Don't order it if you're not ready for spicy and oily, that’s just how this Northern Chinese dish is. (Thanks to the owner and to the chef for accommodating the request. You rock.) The fried rice that comes with the business lunch is pretty regular, it's steamed and mixed with certain ingredients, not "actually fried" rice, from what I can tell. But I suspect that the fried rice that you can order as a main dish is actual fried rice. Update: they no longer provide the not-fried rice. Only real fried rice main dish. They have a great ginger ale that's not artificial. If it weren't so hot in Jerusalem i wouldve liked a tea, just like in any Chinese meal. I wish they had more authentic Chinese desserts but I was full by then anyway. Overall, I'm glad to have paid multiple visits, lunch was a good time to go. I wouldn’t judge it by real Chinese standards, but it’s 5 stars considering what's available in Israel.

Its one of the higher end places I know. From start to finish service is top notch. Kind of America level service if you know what I mean. Food is good and tasty. Nice selection of wines and cocktails. Reliable spot for over 20 years(?).

The food was great, but the service was awful. No one paid attention to us the entire evening—we had to keep calling the staff just to place our order and later to pay the bill. And then they even had the nerve to ask for a service charge. The loud so-called music ruined the atmosphere. I really hope they improve things, because the food, decor, and location are excellent.

We ordered from Sheyan on Wolt, the order came 25 minutes later than the 29 minutes it was supposed to come, when we started eating we found a metal staple in the pinapple chicken In the rice with vegetables, the baby corn went bad The thai chicken didn't taste as usual The sweet & sour soup went bad, we had ordered before many times but didn't have this problem. We ordered 4 soups , vegetable rice and 2 types of chicken platters Everything we threw out as soon as we saw the metal staple and the baby corn in the rice went bad We all spat everything out and threw all in the garbage It's at one's risk and perils ! Not for human standards of food. Not safe, not fresh. We will NEVER order from this place again!!! We do not want to be in danger to eat metal staples or salmonella or bad food, who knows what else is in there!

Best Asian restaurant in jerusalem!! The atmosphere is amazing classy and warm, the food was amazing and very high quality, the location is magical in the heart of jerusalem in the fancy neighborhood of rechavia, plus the staff was very kind. I would recommend the honey garlic sesame chicken, a must try! Sushi is in the highest level of quality and flavor. Glatt kosher!
