Shanghai House Chinese Restaurant

We found Shanghai House via Restrauntica and we were not misled. The exterior facade, interior decor, and generic folded paper take-out style menus might make you think you'd been fooled.

But a quick read through the menu offers up passionately described selection of dishes that goes beyond the standard offerings. Don't worry, you'll probably find all your old favorites too. But for the best experience be sure to be adventurous and try something a little different.

The service was friendly and prompt. I didn't have to ask for a refill once. But they didn't hover uncomfortably either. I would say the service was perfect.

The food was fantastic! We were told the potstickers would take time to prepare and agreed we'd be happy to wait. We were not disappointed. These were obviously freshly made and had a nice delicate delictable flavour. The crispy honey ginger beef offered up a nice sweet flavour with a hint of ginger. The 5-spice fried chicken was crispy succulent. The chicken was served with veggies, (bean sprouts mostly) but not many.

My only complaint with the meal was there could have been a few more veggies with the chicken & veggies dish.

My friend and I were quite happy and both said we'd return. The bill came to $26 for 2.

just get the braised chicken. It is great food at great value. i will continue going here forever.

Recommend takeout or delivery.... back of chair was greecy, grime on the floors, washrooms are gross. Wish I brought the hand sanitizer.

crab rangoon 9/10, five spice sesame chicken 4/10, szechuan chicken 6/10 , cantonese chow mein 8/10, hot braised chicken 10/10.

Generally, the chicken tastes boiled instead of fried like a lot of chinese restaurants with exception to the braised chicken.

The price was exceptional, we ordered a lot of food, lot of leftovers, under 40 dollars.

I love this place. I go there for the chicken fried rice and the most amazing dish, Schezuan eggplant, u gotta try this, u wont be dissapointed!!!!! I could eat this for breakfast lunch and dinner. Its a little spicy, but tastes amazing , how do u guys do it!!!

Went there for take out based on this site's reviews. Drove from SouthWest Missisauga, was it worth the drive..No.
Break Down
Braised Chicken - Good and tasty
BBQ Ribs - threw mine away,
Tofu with Veg - adequate
Noodles with Veg - adequate
There is no "wow" factor in this one, I might eat there again for the braised chicken if I am in the area.
I have a personal belief about Chinese restaurants, only eat at ones packed with Chinese people, this doesn't live up to it.

The most amazing dish you will every try, for a really good price.
I recommend it to everyone, I have tried to find a similar braised chicken in other chinese places, but there is no comparison!

Outstanding the best take out this year. Generous portions not skimpy on the meat. Every dish had its own unique flavor (most Oriental places the dishes seem to have a constant type of flavor with no individual dish taste) . This place was unique as every dish was distinct. Decor needs a serious upgrade though. However its all about the food, taste and flavor.

amazing dish. costs less than $5. if youre really hungry just ask for extra chicken. will cost $6.50. amazing..you have to try it to believe it. you cant go wrong with the braised

The braised chicken is absolutely amazing, it's their alternative to General Tso's - fantastic. The service is very personable, the server asked for our names and remembered them! No complaints at all!

You CANNOT go wrong with the braised chicken. I have been here numerous times, and the braised chicken is consistently excellent. The service is quick and friendly, and the restaurant itself has a serene atmosphere. I recommended it to all of my friends, and you should do the same.
