" Meal was okay, quite average really. Had the chicken and broccoli, which didn’t impress me much. The place itself is nice and tidy, but I expected more excitement in the food. There was nothing wrong with the service; they were very friendly and prompt. I might come back to try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was decent. I've had better, but it was not the worst either. The honey chicken had the right balance of sweet and savory, but it was a little too greasy. The service was friendly, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the place, though. Overall an average experience. I might give it another shot, but with lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Shang Hai House was somewhat lackluster. I had their spring rolls, and they were stale, with almost no stuffing. The fried rice was also too oily for my taste. However, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was decent. I might give it another shot in the future to see if it was just a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Shang Hai House! It brings back memories of living in the city with its rich flavors. The lo mein is delicious, the meat tender, and it tastes authentic. The ambiance is perfect for a casual dinner. My only complaint is that I wish they offered more traditional dishes on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! This is easily my favorite restaurant in town. I frequently visit Shang Hai House for lunch, and their lunch specials are unbeatable! The quality of the food stands out, particularly their pork fried rice which I can’t resist. The staff are always friendly and remember my name, making each visit feel special. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shang Hai House was a surprise hit! I didn’t expect much, but the crab rangoon was out of this world. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere felt cozy. However, the entree I ordered, while decent, didn’t quite measure up to the appetizers. I would suggest the appetizers for sure—those are a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things, I finally decided to give Shang Hai House a try. My order included the sesame chicken and fried rice. To my surprise, the sesame chicken was delightful, but the fried rice could have used more flavor. Dropping by during a weekday kept the place relatively calm, allowing for a pleasant dining experience with attentive service. " (*Curated Review*)
