Z&W Shanghai Kitchen (10% OFF for Orders from Our Website!)

Great prices and great food on time

Z&W Shanghai kitchen brings shame to Shanghai cuisine.

Let me start by saying I am shanghainese, I brought my mom here to try their food because we were craving some good shanghainese food, and decided to try this place instead of our usual “Top Shanghai” or “Dong Tai Xiang” which are both 5 stars for my mom and I.

Upon ordering, the first tofu/veggie dish I was served a rock which I bit down on.

The spring rolls were shocking. We were served some Costco style spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce, this was the most disappointing thing I’ve ever seen.

Shanghainese spring rolls are filled with Napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and some pork. Served with a side of Black Vinegar.

When I asked the server (older lady with green and gold glasses) if these were shanghainese spring rolls, she yelled at me in mandarin

“WHERE DOES IT SAY THEYRE SHANGHAINESE SPRING ROLLS? THE MENU JUST SAYS VEGGIE SPRING ROLLS”

She was rude, dismissive, and looked so miserable.

Correct me if I’m mistaken, if your restaurant’s name is “SHANGHAI KITCHEN” people coming here would be expecting SHANGHAI food.

Next onto the SHANGHAINESE WONTONS,

My god they were mushy and way overcooked.

We ate one bite of everything and left.

Currently going to another restaurant to have an actual dinner.

Worst food ever.

Massive black hair in my xiaolongbao. Uber told me to contact the restaurant. A rude lady answered telling me I didn’t order from her restaurant but rather “I ordered from uber”. I told her yes - uber facilitates orders and deliveries but the food comes from her restaurant and uber advised me to contact her the restaurant for food safety issues. She kept yelling “that is impossible”. I said okay - at this point I did not want new food, just an acceptance that someone on her team left a big long hair in my food and an acknowledgement about the food safety concern I raised. Instead she keep yelling and saying I was rude and uber made the food (????). Uber literally told me to contact the restaurant and I’m fairly certain uber doesn’t make food 😹. Such terrible service.

The food is terrible, way too oil and salty. The server is no where to be found when needed. Not recommended!

Food is gorgeous and delicious. This is city jewel for Shanghainese cuisine. It’s not as expensive as some Shanghai restaurants in town while quality of food is beyond expectation. Authentic Shanghainese cuisine as well as some spicy SiChuan dishes. Highly recommend - food!

Here's my food experience Shanghai fried Noodles were delicious right about of veg like spinach and cabbage to pork ratio. Little greasy though but that's standard for this quick fry dish. XLB was ok 3/5*, not their strength likely frozen and steamed. The chives purses were good. Service was efficient. Parking is free in the building. Lots of construction due to Skytrain impacting businesses all around.
