I was at Shanghai Grill yesterday and, it was the most disappointing experience I have ever had in a restaurant. I ordered the birds nest on the recommendation of the waitress, and when I received it, I found it insipid and the chicken was undercooked. When I spoke to the owner, I told him I would like to have this substituted for something else. He flatly refused with anger and said that I had ordered it and therefore could do nothing As of result,, I paid my bill and walked out never to return again

First time at this restaurant. Shockingly bad food, for a place with lovely décor. Fried noodle sticks with a ketchup-based concoction posing as cherry sauce for dipping. The wonton soup was akin to a bowl of salt water, with a couple of tasteless wontons thrown in. When I bit into the vegetable egg roll, it surprisingly smelled and tasted like a combination of rotting meet and bleach. At this point I spoke to a woman in charge and told her the problem. She smiled and took my plate away without responding to my complaint.The peanut butter dumplings were okay so I thought I'd give the main dish a chance.She brought the main dish of vegetables and shrimp. Again, there was that familiar taste and smell of bleach coming from this gelatinous goo. After trying the shrimp, I had to spit it out because it was rotten. The fried rice tasted like it was fried with charcoal and black pepper. It was awful! They saw I wasn't eating and came over to ask me if I wanted it to go. I told her I CAN'T EAT THIS! She shrugged and told me that the food here is good, and that nobody complains, and gave me the bill. I will never go back.

This has been my local go-to for Chinese takeout since before COVID. Their food is consistently better than other places, the ingredients they use are top notch. Over the years I've tried a lot of dishes they offer and most have been standout renditions. I especially love their mu shu pork, Hunan dumplings, soups, and the table d'hôtes are a great value.
Vegetarian options: They have a variety of vegetarian options including soups, sides and main dishes
Parking: There's a parking lot around the corner between Ste Catherine and Dorchester, and ample street parking (metered)
Large order of $150 which is barely worth $40 elsewhere, lots of errors in the order. To

We loved our order of caramelized general tao chicken with steamed vegetables. I don't understand why people are complaining, it's one of the very good Chinese restaurants I've tried. Fast. Very reasonable price! I recommend :)

Food is not bad but that was ruined when I got my bill and they charged me a different price than what was written on the menu... $38 instead of the listed price of $23.The owner insisted on not correcting my bill as there is a tiny print saying "prices subject to change without notice".Never going back.
