★★★★★ 5.0 The Blue Whale (Gabe) · Jun 2021

I just had dinner here. We ordered Sweet & Sour chicken and a 4 Seasons(C28). The chicken in the S&S is good. It's the right amount of crispy. The rice is also good with nice flavor and fresh vegetables. The 4 Seasons is like a surf-n-terf. It has shrimp, beef, chicken and pork. It's flavorful and is combined with healthy vegetables like broccoli, baby corn and mushrooms. All of our food was very fresh and hot. The red sauce I received with my S&S wasn't watered down like some other restaurants do. Pork eggrolls were included in our meal. They are large and tasty with the perfect amount of crispiness. I recommend trying this restaurant if you're looking for some GOOD Chinese food. Don't forget the chopsticks, they're really high quality too! PS: Due to COVID-19 restrictions there is

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Renee VanGalder · Oct 2025

We decided to give this place a shot as we enjoy Chinese/Asian cuisine. We were pretty disappointed. The portions were similar to other places, but the flavors were all off. The C13.左宗鸡 General Tso's Chicken was just sweet with no spice. The 鍋貼或水餃 / Steamed or Fried Dumpling (8 Pieces) that we got fried were super soggy. The 43. 水煮三样 Steamed Chicken, Shrimp & Scallop with Garden Vegetable was rough. I know it was low salt and oil but it was beyond tasteless. The chicken was mushy and the scallops and shrimp were over cooked and/or frozen. The egg roll was burnt and definitely frozen and not fresh. The best parts were the white rice and 面干 Crispy Noodle.

★★★★★ 5.0 Hannah Rumpf · Dec 2025

I had mentioned to a friend that I wish we had better options for Chinese food locally, and she recommended Shanghai Express. The food was super good, cute little resturaunt, and the owners seemed really sweet! Definitely the best Chinese food that we’ve had locally in a really long time!
