" I must say, I was quite impressed with Shanghai Gourmet. Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff were attentive and quick. The dumplings were quite flavorful, and I appreciated the fresh veggies included in my dish. However, I wish the menu had more vegetarian options, as I feel they could cater to a wider audience. Overall, a lovely spot for a quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience and cannot wait to tell everyone about Shanghai Gourmet! The food was delicious and the service was fast, even if they were quite busy. I highly recommend the dumplings on a rainy day! The broth in the dumpling soup was satisfying and came right when I needed it. So glad I discovered this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I'm genuinely impressed with Shanghai Gourmet! The dumplings were top-notch, filled with so much flavor, and the service was friendly and quick! I had the chicken lo mein and it was very satisfying. While the location can feel hectic, it adds to the experience of dining in such a vibrant market. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves authentic Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my latest trip to Reading Terminal Market, I finally decided to try out Shanghai Gourmet, as I had heard great things. I ordered the beef broccoli and was incredibly satisfied! Very fresh and tender beef with just the right amount of crispness in the broccoli. The rice was fluffy and a great side for soaking up the soy sauce. It’s true what people say about this place—it’s quality food at good prices! Can't wait to come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Shanghai Gourmet from friends, I decided to check it out last week. The veggie roll was great, and it’s clear they use quality ingredients. However, I was slightly disappointed with the chicken lo mein; it lacked flavor and felt a bit bland. I might just stick to their dumplings next time—they seem to be the star of the menu. The place is always bustling, so service was prompt, which I appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yum! The rice noodles here are fantastic. I ordered the shrimp and chicken combo and was blown away by the flavors. The broth was delightful, and I could easily taste the quality of the fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was buzzing, but the service felt quick despite the crowds. I can’t wait to return and try something new! " (*Curated Review*)
