ShangHai Taste (Southwest)

Great service and amazing food. Their fried rice a little bland but other than that everything else was great!. Ordered beef Bao and shrimp bao, tasted delicious. Fried shrimp and fried chicken were also on point! I will definitely eat here again on our next trip to Vegas.

I ended checking out their grand opening of the new location for Shanghai taste because I went to the rainbow location and the waiter recommended that it would be a great experience. And He was not wrong. The Shanghai taste at the rainbow location was already great with their quality and amazing prices but this new location topped it with better quality. Food: we ordered their Traditional soup dumplings, crab soup dumplings, pan fried soup dumplings, their new fried chicken, and their new beef with king mushroom. Overall all their soup dumplings were amazing and definitely super fresh. But what stood out this time, it was their pan fried dumpling and the beef king mushroom dish. These pan fried dumplings was so juicy and perfectly done. I could have eaten 100 of them. Their beef dish was super tender and not salty with a perfect balance that could eat it without rice. However, we would have a bow of white rice. Their fried chicken was a great portion and good to perfection but it really lack of seasoning , salt or maybe add a sauce with it. 4.5/5 Service: we had the same guy from the rainbow location and he was great and informative. He was very professional and attentive. He had a great attitude and you can tell he enjoys his works and shared his thoughts. We went when it was not super packed. 5/5 Atmosphere: this location is bigger and more spacious and modernized. I am surprised they didn’t booth style along the walls to add more seats. The open kitchen windows is still there for you to look at the dumpling makers. Love this concept because it show case their cleanliness and their professionalism. 5/5 Overall this place is one of the best place for soup dumplings in Vegas!. I hope they start offering traditional pan fried dumplings soon and maybe some shrimp dumplings 😁! Can’t wait to come back and visit!

We usually go to the Chinatown location for the pan-fried pork buns but decided to come to this one since finding parking in Shang Hai Plaza is always a pain. The parking at this location was much more open. We tried the chili oil wontons and sweet & sour short ribs today too. The chili oil wontons were phenomenal and we loved them. The sheng jian was a little doughy and we think the Chinatown location makes them a little better. The sweet & sour short ribs were good, but I wouldn’t order them again since the portion is a bit small for $17. We will probably be back here to try the sheng jian again to see if they were just a little off this one time or if it’s a regular occurrence for this location. The service was great and the inside was very clean and welcoming.

The staff and food were excellent. We visited at around 3:20 pm on a weekday and the place was pretty empty. And even though it was empty don’t let that turn you off, it was a situation of don’t judge a book by its cover of its empty when you arrive. This is one of the few places that serves Sheng Jian Bao and it was delicious I recommend the pork one over the beef. Xiaolong bao was also delicious. They also had a dessert Xiaolong bao with Nutella and banana. It was worth it and was not too rich. It’s almost like a banana and chocolate crepe but made into a single bite. Everything was tasty. The one improvement I would offer is that for them to pressure cook the pork ribs. I really wanted them to fall off the bone, but they were still moist and the flavor was delicious. As for service it also matched or exceeded the food. Our waiter took the time to give us probably one of the most in depth explanations of the menu we’ve ever had and we loved it. He was also very humble too and just overall a kind person. The lady who swept up the glass my sister shattered was very nice too and did a good job choosing the music. It really helped to set the atmosphere. The open kitchen was also pretty cool to watch too. They also refilled our water pitcher multiple times without us asking, changed our plates and cleaned the table between the entrees and dessert. Overall, I think Asian restaurants should strive for this level of service. The service was better than Disney world sit downs and restaurants in Japan. Which is known to be world class. Hopefully it’s the same when they’re busy too, but overall it was really good experience

This is an authentic Chinese restaurant. When you first walk in you immediately notice the feng shui of the place. The dumplings were the star of the show, while the noodles and soup were decent.
