This is literally the BEST Chinese restaurant outside of Washington D.C.! The food was excellent, the service and atmosphere was impeccable. We loved talking with the owner and will drive the 2 hours from our house to enjoy this family restaurant again!

New in town and looking for a Chinese food place. We gave Shanghai a try for take out. We ordered Mongolian Beef, Beef lo mein, sweet and sour chicken with white rice and wonton soup. The rice and chicken were what I would expect from a Chinese food restaurant. The sweet and sour sauce was very watery and lacking flavor. The wonton soup was also lacking flavor. The broth looked like water and was flavorless. The wonton in the soup were good. The Mongolian Beef and Beef lo mein were both bland as well. The texture of the beef was different from what we are used to getting at other Chinese restaurants. In the end, we were highly disappointed and will not be back.

Am a truck driver and happened to be in the area. I'm completely amazed of the friendliness and service at this family restaurant; the food was one of the best I've had in a long time...the to go portion I wish could have been a little more but, none the less amazingly delicious 🤤🤤🤤. Thank you for the complementary water bottle the gentleman offered me; I believe he was the owner. Thank you again; I can't wait to be in the area again.

Service was very good. Friendly people. Food was good. It’s a very old building but fine.
Great food and the Chen family are the sweetest people. Love eating here.

If you’re looking for delicious authentic dining or takeout in Bristol, Virginia, look no further than Shanghai Restaurant! The spare ribs were tender and packed with flavor, while the lo mein was perfectly cooked. The sweet-and-sour dish was a perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Each bite was a treat! Highly recommend for an incredible meal! The owners were super greater and welcoming!

Awesome food and great atmosphere! Owners are always very kind and helpful. Downtown, so a close walk to other areas and definitely a great place to stop in and eat or take to-go. Great place with even better food.

This is hands down the best chinese food experience in bristol! As soon as you walk in you're welcomed by a beautiful historic state street building with a lot of original architecture that is decorated with beautiful Asian decorations. The owner and his wife are quite possibly the nicest people you will ever meet! They always have a smile on their face and they are always ready to help you however they can. The food is absolutely delicious and the portions are a great size! The value for money, the atmosphere, the service, the great tasting food...all are great reasons to stop by and get you some of their famous general tso chicken!
