Bob's Shanghai 66

Excellent food and service in a bustling atmosphere. We went there during late lunch on a Saturday and it was quite busy but we got a table. The service is fast and good. Food tastes great too. The Thai ice tea wasn’t too sweet. The snow pea leaf w garlic was good, and rice portions were large.

Super over-rated… food is mediocre at best and over-priced compared to other authentic Chinese places in the area. Sausage Fried Rice: Plain. Not enough seasoning, no onions, and some rice even still stick together. One of the worst fried rice I’ve ever had. Noodles: Average. Not bad but also nothing special. Not worth the price. Soup Dumplings: Taste good but just as good as many other places whose less pricey. Not worth the 30 mins wait. Scallion Beef: Small portion for $20. Taste great but again, you can get this elsewhere easily.

We stumbled into Bob’s recently… and honestly, we haven’t escaped since. The place is decked out so authentically you half expect to step outside and find yourself in Shanghai. The dumpling-making window is basically hypnotic—everyone who walks in gets sucked into watching those perfect little parcels being folded at record speed. And yes, it’s always buzzing. The food? Ridiculously good. I’m literally salivating writing this—and I’m not even in the US right now, which makes missing it even worse. Service is solid, dishes hit the table fast, and before you know it, you’re plotting your next visit. Highly recommend if you’re nearby. Consider yourself warned: you will get hooked.
