The food is absolutely delicious, and the price is reasonable. Very authentic Cantonese Dim Sum dishes. I hope Shanghai Alley can fill the gap in quality Asian cuisine in Charleston, SC. Although Charleston has consistently ranked among the top 10 food cities in the U.S., it has lacked a Chinese restaurant as good as Shanghai Alley.

I have dined in and gotten delivery and take out from Shanghai Alley countless times. On depressed days? Shanghai Alley. On happy days? Also Shanghai Alley. I have tried so many other Chinese places but none of them compared to this place. And every single time I am more satisfied than the next. Their duck is amazing, their dimsum is also amazing, their chicken, amazing. Some people rate the place low because they think the service should be better, but it’s never bad, just quiet and blunt (which I like). Their food carries respect and pride, and I would curse whoever tarnishes it. I’ve been eating here almost weekly, maybe monthly, and I’ve never ever been upset about anything here. I encourage you to try something new from here, especially if you’re not that cultured in Chinese food. Truly, this is my favorite place in North Carolina. If they recognize my name from the countless delivery orders I get, I often go by Eli there. Please know, you have made me happy and fed, even in the worst days and even in the best. ❤️

Nice, quiet, clean, spacious restaurant with wonderful food. My favorites to order are the Dim Sum Soup Dumplings and Singapore Rice noodles. Both are satisfying, flavorful, and never disappointing. I'd highly recommend the place and food all around if you're looking for good Asian dishes with an authentic quality.

One of the worst dim sum experiences we had in this area. This place clearly was mismanaged and both FOH and BOH really doesn’t know what they were doing. Waited way too long before get acknowledged we were there. All dim sum items were out of stock so we end up just order directly which took another 20 minutes to come out individually. One of the pork dumpling was cold and uncooked inside so me and my wife was worry we are going to get sick afterwards. There are 3 more nearby tables also experienced the similar frustration. I would strongly recommend people go other place to save your money and frustration.
