" I arrived at Shanghai Lounge expecting a decent meal, but I was blown away! The food here really resonated with authentic flavors. The steamed buns were delicate and packed with savory pork - simply irresistible. The spicy chicken was grilled nicely with a delightful kick to it. Service-wise, everyone was friendly and on point. They made excellent recommendations. The ambiance was casual, which suited my taste perfectly. I will definitely return to try their famed dishes on my next visit to D.C.! You won’t regret giving this spot a shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came to Shanghai Lounge with high expectations based on previous reviews, and I have to say, it did not disappoint! The menu is extensive with authentic options and everything we ordered was truly flavorful. I especially enjoyed the spicy boiled fish, which was just the right level of heat. The service was friendly and prompt. My only drawback was the ambiance, which felt a bit crowded. Otherwise, I can’t wait to go back and try their other enticing dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

Can't wait to visit again and try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" A cozy small restaurant that serves fantastic food. My wife and I went here for dinner after a long day. The pork dumplings were the star of the evening, interacting perfectly with the hot chili oil they provide. We were really impressed by the extent of authentic dishes in the menu. The atmosphere is quaint, though seating was somewhat limited - it added to the homely feel. Even service was top-notch, with our waitress being exceptionally friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic! I was in the area and decided to stop at Shanghai Lounge based on a friend's recommendation. I was greeted immediately and seated promptly. The staff was genuinely attentive and made recommendations based on what I wanted. The spicy mapo tofu and hot and sour soup were delicious and packed with flavor. Iloved every bite! The ambiance was clean and homely, making it easy to relax during the meal. I already plan to return to try their other dishes. Highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciated the high standards of quality and service at Shanghai Lounge, I found some of the dishes slightly over-seasoned. The crispy beef was good, but I was hoping for more seasoning balance. The staff was friendly, and I particularly liked the ambiance, which was comfy and casual. Overall, the experience was good, but I’d like to see some improvements on certain recipes to make the flavors more harmonious. " (*Curated Review*)
