I’d never heard of Shine Valley Lamb Soup before but a co-worker recommended it to me. It’s a Northern Chinese restaurant that’s located upstairs.
Sign outside.
Hours. Closed on Thursday.
We dropped in on a Sunday evening (around 6:00pm) and were able to get a table with no wait. Service isn’t too shabby as they have a button to call a server over (to order, for more water, the bill, etc.).
The main menu consists of cold dishes, lamb soup, signature dishes, hot, new, vegetable and staples. They also have a separate menu for skewers.
If you order ahead of time, you can buy a whole roasted lamb for $666.00.
Cooked lamb meat in lamb soup ($43.99 large)
This comes with four cakes. Buns have a light, flaky texture but taste better when you dip them into the soup.
The broth itself was homey and came with lamb, cabbage and thin clear noodles.
Stir-fried bone-in lamb meat ($19.99 small)
We opted for the spicy version (which it wasn’t).
Good chunks of meat and chewy bite.
Lamb meat stuffed dumplings ($13.99)
Slightly thicker wrapping and solid filling.
Lamb skewer ($1.49 each)
Standard fare.
Beef tenderloin skewer ($1.49 each)
Tender and beefy.
5x Chicken heart ($1.25 each)
These were plump and juicy.
5x Chicken gristle skewer ($1.49 each)
Not our favourite. All about the crunchy, cartilage texture.
5x Chicken gizzard ($1.25 each)
Good texture.
3x Chinese lamb pie ($1.99 each)
These weren’t the best. Way too greasy. Most interesting thing was that they looked like pupusas (Asian style).
Come with a large group so that you can order more things. SVLS is all about the lamb goodness.
