Honestly, one of the best Chinese food I have ever had. The flavors and texture of every dish are amazing. The service was perfect, they were patient and very knowledgeable explaining each of our menu questions, which by the way looks a little intimidating, but we loved it.
We were also impressed by the speed, I don't think we waited more than 5 min for the first dish to arrive, then it was one after the other.
Unfortunately I didn't take pictures, but we ordered Square beef noodles(perfectly smoked) Tofu with veggies Crispy eggplant (my favorite) though it's (caramized) but the texture goes very well with all other dishes. Soup pork dumplings
Can't wait to be back!

The staff working today is absolutely uncourteous and rude. No training in customer service absolutely. My husband accidentally said we were getting takeout and they would not let us sit at the table. When we went to grab utensils the lady at the cash yelled “no” and touched some fork with her bare hands and passed it on to us. Unhygienic. Please save yourself the trouble of eating at this restaurant. Horrified to say the least.

Do not use the online order service. It takes your credit card, charges, and does not complete the order or send it to the restaurant. Likely scam from googling the online order company.

The worst beef noodle soup we ever tasted. It was like a broth from an overcooked vegetable. Dumplings are good, but everything else is either average or bad. The glasses they used look like they’ve been chewed off by a dog. Never coming back here again.

We love Shanghai taste, but there is something off with the boss’s attitude (the guy with a strand of hair) today - last time when we were there, all Chinese friends, he behaved just normal; This time, from the second we stepped in, we didn’t feel welcomed - we were even accused for putting the plates in a wrong way in the table? The only reason we can thinking of is two of us have American partners as he treated everyone else in a normal way, either Chinese customers or American customers. So be aware if you are a Chinese woman bringing a foreign/non/Asian partner :(

This review is for a visit a few months back. Extremely disappointed by the food. I ordered smoked fish, drunken chicken, and braised duck (forgot the 4th dish that I ordered), since I rarely come to this part of the city and the menu looked very authentic Shanghainese. ALL these dishes were salty, way too salty and tasted old. My daughter and I only had a few bites and left with the plates almost full. Will never go back again.
Best soup dumplings in MoCo (yes, better than Bob's)! A real hole-in-the-wall hidden gem type of place. Our favorite dish is the noodles with shredded beef and peppers (#80), which is deliciously savory with pops of heat. We've never had a dish like it anywhere else; apparently it's a Shanghainese speciality. Last night we tried the fish filet with black bean sauce on a recommendation from our server Michael (who is hilarious!) and it was a home run - perfectly tender fish with a light sauce that lended just the right amount of salt from the beans. We always look forward to coming back here and trying new things; plus, dessert next door at Carmen's is an added bonus. So happy we found Shanghai Taste!
As a vegetarian I usually have limited options at Chinese restaurants - who wants the Buddha special. I was intrigued to try my luck and found veggie dumplings and scallion pancakes. I always get asked twice to make sure that I only want veggie at Chinese restaurants. It's better than other places that put fish cake and imitation crab meat in veggie rolls. The dumplings were definitely home made but I've found this when I eat Shanghai food that the vegetables or ginger that they use is to authentic tastes but somehow I just don't like it. The pancake was good. It was an OK value, service was OK and though I got takeout the atmosphere was OK.

Love this place Shanghai Taste in Rockville, Md. I am very happy to have found this place for me and my family to enjoy Asian food. It reminds me of back home in NYC. If you want some good Asian food and don't feel like driving into DC or trying to find a place in the DMV area. Then try this place. It will most likely become your go to place as well. Beautiful dishes to enjoy with your family or friends or when you're on a date. The soup dumplings are great here. Along with everything else. Then you can hop on over and enjoy some good ice cream next door. which is what we do. (LOL) Take the time to go and enjoy some very good Asian food here and see for yourself.
