Tried this place for lunch and was happy that I did. It was a short wait from ordering to food being ready. The music upon coming in was a bit loud, the cashier and myself couldn’t hear which resulted in my order being wrong. We had to almost talk over each other. Ordered Firecracker shrimp and ended up with firecracker chicken, was a little disappointed as I truly wanted the shrimp BUT the chicken was actually really good. Ordered wontons as well which was good as well. Food was fresh and flavorful .. guy at the register was nice and friendly. Definitely will come here again, next time ordering online

This restaurant delivers an exceptional experience with super-fast service and plenty of parking, making it incredibly convenient. The place is spotless, boasting a well-maintained and clean environment. The staff is incredibly friendly, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I strongly recommend it for anyone looking for great food and top-tier service!

First time picking up from here and it did not disappoint! I got the house fried rice, beef lo mein, chicken wings, ribs and egg rolls and it was all so delicious! The food was very fresh and the portions were generous. But even better than all the yummy food was the exceptional service. The owner was so helpful with placing my order, he made sure I got the best deal and he even helped me carry the food to my car, even with having a packed restaurant. All of these small personal details really make a business stand out. We will definitely be ordering from here again! Thanks again!

We have been here before and it was just Ok but I read that there was a new owner and decided to try it again. vast improvement . Dave , the owner is from NY. I tried the Shrimp in spicy garlic sauce. Shrimp with mushrooms, red pepper, broccoli, and onions in a flavorful brown sauce with a little spiciness. Comes with a choice of soup : Egg Drop, Hot & Sour, Mixed, or Wonton, and choice of rice choices: Brown, Fried, or White, and Egg Roll . Very good. My wife opted for the Egg Foo Young with vegetables, basically a Chinese omelet, comes with a sauce. No sides.

I love the dumplings here, and I always come here because of them. This time we decided to take a chance and try the orange chicken, and I can say that I wouldn't recommend it, the chicken isn't tasty and the sauce doesn't have much orange flavor, but the dumplings are incredible and super tasty! The service is super fast and the food is prepared on time.

This place is too far from my house. I was beyond excited to try it. I did not like the way that I was unsure about how to be seated. I am so confused about how to order. In a few minutes, the cashier came to take my order. She was friendly. Food came out by robot. The Shanghai green was OK, and wonton noodle soup was salty. Dim sum was bland. Wonton in chili oil tastes good. Chow fun was terrible. The noodles were very dry and hard. Overall 5/10. There is a food smell on my body. I don't like it. The food is quite expensive if compared to the quality. I had high expectations for this restaurant because I saw on Tik Tok. When I was there, I was disappointed.

Plenty of parking is available, making it easy to find a spot no matter the time of day, so you won’t have to worry about circling around. Service is quick and efficient, ensuring a fast turnaround, whether you’re dining in or taking your order to go. The friendly staff adds to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, always ready to assist with a smile. Inside, there are plenty of tables for dining, providing a comfortable space to sit and enjoy your meal. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, this spot consistently delivers a great experience!

Where's the veggies in the veggie fried rice? Used to have a variety including zucchini, bean sprouts, peppers maybe, carrot and scrambled egg, now only broccoli, peas, teeny bit of onion and mushroom, maybe a teeny smidgen of cabbage, that's it, hardly any and mushier than used to be, with mush balls and mostly all rice. So please make it like you used to? This was my 2nd try in the past year and it was the same last time too, that's why I haven't ordered again in so long. Ribs on bone are good but some fattier than used to be. Atmosphere is take out only, they give you a free soda with pick up orders.

Had lunch here on a Monday. Wasn't crowded and was seated immediately at a large table. We were glad for the large table, although it was only two of us, it gives you room to have your plates without feeling cramped. We ordered dumplings and lettuce wraps to start. Both were delicious served quickly. We also ordered a salad and teriyaki beef with rice and they were also delicious and generous portions. We had to get to-go boxes. Our waiter was John, and he was very attentive and paced the meal very well. I plan to go back and highly recommend.

We had a nice visit. Food was hot and fresh on a busy Saturday night. The hot n sour soup was incredible. We shared a large bowl. We also had a cucumber salad which was refreshing. We than had the Mongolian Tofu which had a nice spice to it, great flavors and consistency. I think our server was new, but she was pleasant and did a great job.

Just tried this place out last night. The food was so delicious I ordered again tonight. Great value for the quality and portions of food they give you. I will definitely be going back here every week! Tonight was beef with asparagus. Delicious!!! I highly recommend 818 Shanghai!

Formerly known as Shanghai City, this restaurant has been a staple in the plaza since the late 1980s. While the name has changed, the interior remains almost identical, and unfortunately, it’s showing its age. The space could use a renovation and deep cleaning—there are noticeable stains on the walls, sticky tiles, and the menus are still the original Shanghai City ones, complete with worn-out, decades-old holders. First impressions aren’t great. The “new” aspect of 818 Shanghai seems to be the addition of a dim sum menu and some new Cantonese dishes. However, the main menu remains unchanged and still features American Chinese classics under the old Shanghai City branding. The staff is new, but the transition feels incomplete. We ordered exclusively from the dim sum menu, which is currently being reprinted, but take note: the English translations don’t always match the Chinese descriptions, so double-check your order. The others in my party—Ming, James, and Rachel—enjoyed the food more than I did. While I didn’t dine here under the previous ownership for comparison, I found the dishes underseasoned and lacking flavor. It felt like the kitchen is holding back on seasoning, possibly omitting MSG to cater to local preferences. This blandness mirrored my experience at 818 Asian Fusion (another spot under the same ownership), leaving me underwhelmed overall. Our group avoided most seafood dishes since James doesn’t eat shrimp, so I can’t comment on their seafood mains. We did try the beef chow fun, which came recommended by Ming’s Chinese friend. While the ingredients were fresh—the bean sprouts crisp and the beef perfectly tenderized—it lacked the depth of flavor I expect from this dish. The pork fried rice was similarly well-executed in texture and preparation but equally bland. I might return in a few months to sample the seafood mains and see if the kitchen has found its stride, but for now, I’m hoping they address the cleanliness and overall presentation. The restaurant needs a serious refresh to shake off the lingering reputation of “Shanghai Sh***y” from its previous iteration.

They never have chopsticks, and if you ask for a bag, the cashier won't bag your food for you; they just hand you a bag. They don't even hold the bag open to help you bag your food, and if you ask them for help, they either just stand there not helping.
