New Shanghai Restaurant

Appearance doesn't say too much as the flavors are great. I even really enjoyed their complementary egg drop soup.

Located in a strip mall off Lake Forest Boulevard, New Shanghai Restaurant is described as a “warm, relaxed eatery…featuring ample Chinese classics.” We visited for dinner on a Sunday evening and when we first arrived after 7pm, we were the only customers in the entire restaurant. However it was apparent New Shanghai is the local Chinese food spot because several parties arrived after and there were numerous takeout orders during our visit. Their menu is fairly extensive, but I wouldn’t describe the Chinese cooking style as especially traditional. In fact the target audience appears to be primarily for Americans. We started with the Sizzling Rice Soup (not pictured) followed by the Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce, Mapo Tofu, House Special Chow Mein and Mu Shu Pork. Everything was good but n

Unfortunately this was a big no for me, for portion size it was extremely expensive. The flavor also wasn't there I got the Mongolian beef and egg fried rice.

Just what I was expecting and more, Tasty food, good ambiance, good service they were very attentive. Definitely I’ll come back here. Big portions perfect whenever you are really hungry for Chinese food! Easy Parking access

After ordering through door dash, had order accepted, waited almost an hour, then they canceled the order, stating they couldn't fulfill the order... When I called to talk to them, they said I could order through their website and still get the order... This seems ridiculous that they accepted it and already had me wait, only to cancel but still be able to fulfill other people's orders? Bad business... Won't be ordering from here again.
