Shawnees China Soul

Went with a group of friends and we were all really looking forward to trying their Chinese/Soul Fusion but were really disappointed since they only had a Limited Menu that night. It seems it was their R&B Night so they had reduced options but this was not mentioned anywhere on their Website. If we had known prior, we would have planned for different night. They should definitely post such details on their Website. Staff were pretty friendly but the service was quite slow, and it was not even that crowded when we came in. Food was pretty good but some of the items were quite pricey, considering they don't even offer any sides for their Entrées.

The girls and I got together for the restaurant's r&b night. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and found the girls. We sat, and we were served by a nice staff. The place is byob, but they have hookah. I was disappointed to see the limited menu they had for the night, and some of the items were a bit pricey. I ordered the macaroni and cheese and the shrimp and chicken fried rice. The food took quite a while to come out. When it did, the mac and cheese was tasty, and the rice wasn't bad. All in all, I had a decent time. I have to go back on a regular night to experience their full menu.

A few of my friends and I decided to try this place. It was a Friday night and Mama Jones (Jim Jones mother) and her entourage was there. We paid $10 to get in, (not sure if anyone else paid once Mama Jones arrived) and it was empty when we got there. We began to open our wine, (another $10 fee per bottle) and the glasses had lipstick prints on some of them! So then we checked our utensils. There was a limited menu, the fried rice and wings were good but I must admit my expectations were a lot higher after viewing this place on Instagram. I'm not sure I'll even go back for the full menu because of my experience. I was disappointed! I could've gone to a local bar in the hood for that experience!

My son gave me a birthday party here and it was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was professional and music was awesome. You will definitely won’t be disappointed. We ate Lamb Chops, Chicken, omg the collard greens, Mac & cheese,fish & grits and so much more. Absolutely outstanding ❤️💯❌💯❌💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have to be COMPLETELY honest, I typically do not share reviews unless the experience is 10/10 or -13/10 and this experience was hands down -100/10. Allow me to explain. Let’s talk about it in order. We agreed to support this business because we knew it was black and woman owned. We were so excited to see the amazing reviews and the social media posts that ensured we were going to have a 10/10 experience (at worst 8/10) so I was EXCITED! We opted for the family style brunch option with BYOB. What we were promised: “Brunch Menu $65 per person plus tax and gratuity Cornbread Egg Rolls & Biscuits with Strawberry Butter Fluffy Scrambled Eggs w/ Cheese Cinnamon Waffles* Applewood Bacon Shrimp and Grits Creamy Grits Home Fries Southern Fried Chicken Fried Whiting Mama’s Mac ‘n’ Cheese Collard Greens (turkey or pork) Candied Sweets Housemade Banana Pudding Ice Cream Prepared By Order*” I will attach photos and provide more details below but before we go there I’m still on the expectation versus the reality. See photos for full comments. I never want to tear down a BOB or a WOB but I beg your pardon. What did I just pay for? A headache? A waste of time? A sour stomach? Never again. They need to close expeditiously. For the overall safety of the community.
