Thanks for the review Nina! Can't wait to try their food while listening to Christian praise music! Can't think of a better combination. God bless you sister and thanks for the recommendation😃

This place could have the best food in the world, it didn't, but even if it did, I would never return. When I sit down to have a relaxing meal with my spouse and spend my hard earned money at a restaurant, I do not want to hear about Jesus. The world has existed, by most accounts, for several billion years, during which time humans have had different ideas about god(s). You piping in your Jesus music via the overhead speakers is annoying at best--personally, I find it very disrespectful. Not everyone believes as you believe, and certainly it is your right to hold any sort of belief you desire, as it is mine. However, please keep the air space clear of your religion out of respect for your paying customers.

We had a good experience, eating well made and quality food. But I think it's more of a takeaway place than a seated dinner. The place is quite old and poorly maintained (with an old stained carpet), so better to take the food and eat it at home!

The food is great!! I normally get the dinner combination 2. The egg rolls are perfect. Crispy on the outside. Everything I've tried is delicious. Definitely recommend.

Crispy noodles, ginger beef, and a little piece of Valley heaven
Let me just say this: Shanghai Chinese in Visalia has crispy pan-fried noodles. Like, actually crispy — fried on both sides. After four long years away from the Valley (trapped in an Oklahoma Chinese food wasteland), I was dreaming of this exact thing. And they delivered. Absolute fire.

I paired the noodles with their ginger beef and — boom — perfection. Honestly, that combo is all I need in life. My only personal nitpick? I’d love it even more without the carrots and green onions. Just give me that bold ginger and beef magic and I’m set. But I’m confident Judy (name on the receipt and clearly the MVP) will get me squared away next time when I ask. It was still delicious — a solid 99 out of 100, with one point docked for the veggies I didn’t ask for (haha).

We also tried the lemon chicken — great balance, not too tart, and a family favorite across the board.

And to put them to the real test? We ordered the pork fried rice. It’s the benchmark dish, and this one? Easily one of the best we’ve had anywhere. Packed with flavor, clearly made with love (and hopefully a generous shake of MSG — yum).

Yes, prices are a little higher than I remember from Valley standards, but the portions, flavor, and service — especially from the kind, no-nonsense lady up front — more than made it worth it.

Shanghai Chinese is the real deal. We’ll be back. Often.

We have been ordering from here for years and have always felt pleased with the food and service until tonight that we ordered takeout for my daughter and fiancé for dinner and was terribly disappointed with the food looked and tasted dry and leftovers rewarmed and so very disappointed that we won’t be ordering there anymore.

Awesome foods. Love the salt and pepper fish, pot stickers, fry rice
