Shanghai Inn Restaurant is considered a decent option for Chinese food. The food is described as good and comparable to standard Chinese takeout in the city. The menu features dishes like Mongolian beef with broccoli, which was noted to be hot and fresh, although it could have had less grease and more spice. The combination fried rice was also hot and contained fresh chicken, beef, and shrimp, but it lacked flavor and needed more seasoning. The egg roll was described as decent, while other items like General Tso’s and sweet and sour chicken received positive remarks for their taste and large portions.
The restaurant's service is generally alright, with a quick pick-up time of 15-20 minutes. However, there was a comment about the unfriendliness of a staff member towards a service dog. The atmosphere was not critiqued during pick-up, but it was noted that the design seemed to be from the late 90s. Some customers have also enjoyed dining in, describing it as a cozy hole in the wall.
Overall, Shanghai Inn Restaurant comes recommended for its decent Chinese food, generous portions, and quick service. It's suggested to add more flavor to the rice and reduce the grease in the Mongolian beef. Diners are also advised to leave pets at home to avoid any issues with the staff.
