Shanghai House Restaurant

its bad in every way

Excellent pan fried Shanghai dumplings!

I love Shanghai House. I have been dining here for over 12 years. You MUST order the XLB dumplings, XLB fried dumplings, dry fried chicken wings, green onion pancake.

Great place for homemade dumplings. Their dumplings and fried chicken are top notch. Service takes a while, but worth the wait.

Everyone waited 50 min and no food. Heard a lot of screaming in the kitchen between the waitress and chef. Apparently a “plumbing problem.” Will not come here again.

Horrible service. Cash only. The place doesn't visibly advertise its cash-only policy, probably because it skirts legality. Yet, they strictly enforce this rule, especially with Asian customers.

Good food, but it was pretty oily. I may not be qualified to judge this, but it was my take away. A large amount of dishes to choose from.Cash only, come prepared.

Great homey neighborhood spot. Food all comes out fast and hot. Soup dumplings and dry fried chicken are excellent.

The service is really terrible, they serve you in a bad way and they take too long to serve you the food, I waited almost an hour for my food and it is of a very low level, that terrible thing, I would never return to this place...

the food taste below average and definitely not worth the price. Besides, the staff member in the restaurant is pretty rude to us and not very friendly at all. Definitely don’t would never come to this restaurant
