Good service and great Chinese food, coming from a Canadian, if you catch my drift. 😅
But a huge selling point is that the majority of the menu is gluten free! No compromises on flavour, but this made my wife's day, as she has had celiacs for years, so this was her first taste of Chinese food since her diagnosis. I hope they're in business forever!

So good! Huge selection, most of which can be turned Gluten Free if needed, and fast friendly service, and very clean.
Long established Shanghaiese Cruisine restaurant on Broadway.

The restaurant provides pleasant service with friendly and caring staff. Although the ambiance could use improvement, the location is clean and comfortable.

Customers have enjoyed the "schezuan chow mein" and "beef noodle soup," describing the food as "piping hot, very crisp, clean flavor and fresh - beyond delicious!" The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food.
Recently, many customers have shared positive experiences, calling it a hidden gem on Broadway in Vancouver. The XLBs are highly praised, with one customer noting they are amazing. The prices and portions are considered good value. Some visitors have tried the soup dumplings, beef roll, and beef Shanghai meat ball, describing the dishes as nicely done, not greasy, and huge enough to share. Although service can be slow, staff remain courteous, and prices are fair for the area.
The restaurant also impresses with gluten-free options, even though they are not listed on the menu. Dishes like Szechuan beef, pea leaf with garlic, spicy green beans, house fried rice, and fried squid are highly recommended by diners. One customer mentioned that egg and shrimp, which are not on the menu, are excellent and should be added. The food is authentic, and the waitstaff attentive, making it a popular choice for those seeking genuine Chinese cuisine.
