" I had high expectations coming here, but it didn't quite meet them. The food was good, but not as authentic as I had hoped, especially their take on Kung Pao Chicken. The service was quick, but it felt a bit rushed which detracted from the experience. Still a nice place for a casual dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, this is the place! The ambiance is inviting, and the staff is incredibly attentive. I had the cumin lamb, which was perfectly spiced and tender. They also serve a fantastic hot mustard that you shouldn't miss. The only downside was waiting for a table on the weekends, but it was definitely worth it! Great for family dinners or a date night. " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity was lacking here. I expected Chinese food but felt it was more of an Americanized version. The fried rice was okay, but the chicken seemed bland. The service was decent, but the environment felt too busy for my liking. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was enjoyable, but some dishes were quite salty. I tried the sweet and sour pork, and while the flavors were good, the saltiness made it a bit overwhelming. The atmosphere was comfortable, with friendly staff who did their best to accommodate us. If you can request less salt, I think you might have a great meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the chef's specials tonight, and it was phenomenal! The fried fish in chili oil is a knockout dish. The service was exceptional—our server was attentive but not intrusive. I appreciated how the restaurant felt truly authentic and unpretentious. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because some items can be hit or miss depending mostly on the chef’s day. " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy I tried this place! The sweet and sour chicken was fantastic, the pineapple made it fresh. Great value for the amount of food you receive. The staff was friendly and the interior was clean and inviting. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a hearty meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shanghai Restaurant always hits the spot. I love their noodle dishes, and the hot and sour soup is one of the best I've had. The staff is prompt and accommodating, and the atmosphere is enjoyable for dining with friends or family. They could improve on a few dishes, but overall, it remains solid. " (*Curated Review*)
