" This place lives up to its reputation! I came recommended to Shanghai Lounge and was treated to incredible authentic Szechuan dishes. The hot and sour soup had the right amount of tang and spice, while the dumplings were deliciously soft. I also loved their green beans cooked with garlic, which were fresh and crisp. Service was quick and personable. I will keep coming back to try out more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at Shanghai Lounge. The food did not live up to the hype. The dumplings were bland and lacked flavor, and the coconut milk dessert was underwhelming. The staff were polite but not attentive enough, and the atmosphere felt tense. I had high expectations given other reviews but sadly, I left unsatisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Shanghai Lounge after hearing great things and I'm so glad I did! The cumin lamb was perfectly seasoned and just melted in my mouth. The noodle dishes were all excellent. The service was attentive, making sure our drinks were always full. The atmosphere was also delightful; I'd describe it as cozy but lively. It felt good to be surrounded by people who enjoyed their meals as much as we did. I will definitely return to explore the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I haven't tried Shanghai Lounge earlier! The food is authentic, and the flavors are on point. Each dish was well-prepared and made with fresh ingredients. I loved the scallion pancake appetizer - it was flaky and delicious! The main dishes were lovely, especially the spicy wontons. Service was prompt, and the atmosphere felt homey yet vibrant. It truly felt like dining at home with family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited for a lunch with some colleagues and had a great time. We ordered an assortment of dishes including fried rice, steamed dumplings, and spicy wontons. Each dish was satisfying and had a homemade feel. The dumplings stood out the most, filled with a flavorful meat mixture that burst in your mouth. The service was prompt and friendly, making the lunch break even more enjoyable. I liked the setting, though the space feels a bit outdated. Still, with the food's quality, I don't mind at all. I would consider returning for dinner to explore more dishes on their menu! " (*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*)
