Little Shin Shin on Piedmont and Shin Shin Prawns

[Cheesy Oysters]

My family is addicted to the Shin Shin Special Prawns from the previous owners of Little Shin Shin on Piedmont Avenue. I think the former owner has moved on and I think it is another Chinese restaurant on Piedmont Ave. Can anyone confirm this, the name of the restaurant, and if they have a similiar dish?

We have gone to Little Shin Shin a few times and the Shin Shin prawns are just not the same.

I tried to hunt this down in Yelp but could not find what I was looking for and I'm hoping my chowdounder buddies can help me out.

Rumor is that a cook from Little Shin Shin is now down the street at Holly's Mandarin. They do have something like the Shin Shin Prawns, but they too miss the mark. I always thought that sauce was too sweet, but the prawns were fried very nicely.
