Shanghailander Palace

Sganghailander Palace (上海灘), 1695 S Azusa Ave, Hacienda Heights, CA 91745 was our first visit. This Chinese restaaurant was quite upcale and the environ was attractive, clean and pleasing. The waitng staff was very friendly and accommodating. This was one of the few times in a Chinese restaurant, we were served by changing plates and giving us new and clean plates at least 5 times. Good and excellent customer service. Fo9d was excellent, tasty, fresh, great flavors. The grand chef can always serve different food with a unique and tastemy flavors. That is the attractive and distinctive draws for picky and choosy customers. The seafood was very good: lobster, shrimps, fish, oysters and claims. Excellent flavors. The dessert was also very tasty. Come and try it yourself.

The highlight of my meal was definitely the Xun Yu. It had a perfectly crispy exterior and a tender interior, coated in the classic sweet-and-sour Shanghai-style sauce. The other dishes met expectations but didn’t particularly stand out.

We had a 10-people reunion gathering and it was a perfect excuse for us to enjoy this authentic and delicious Shanghainese restaurant. All of the dishes we ordered were perfectly made, and we enjoyed everything (there were a couple of vegetarians in the group so we ordered 3 vegetable dishes which was great. The overwhelming favorites were: the special Grilled beef short ribs ($48 so count it as 2 dishes), celery with Lily, and SH braised pork. The service was prompt, but we got the sense they didn’t prefer us to stay too long and catch up after we were done with our meal.

Food was surprisingly good and reasonably priced. Old school chinese vibe with a touch of class. Great for big groups.

Love coming here with my family for a consistently good traditional Chinese meal that isn’t hard to get a table at - highlights are the hunan fish head and (don’t @ me) kung pao chicken! Among a number of other delicious dishes
