This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer’s Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable. My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can’t dine in the restaurant though, as they don’t have a dining license. 9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces. The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service— I would love to return if I’m in the area again! — Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: N/A Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5

The woman that runs it isn't exactly the most friendly but the 2 times I have done take away it has been delicious.

The best Chinese food I’ve ever had! Their Lo Mein is amazing, so flavorful. We had cheese wontons, sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, and egg rolls. Again, everything was so delicious. I’ve been to a lot of Chinese restaurants, and this place ties for #1. Bach Yen in Hibbing, MN is the other. The staff was so friendly too. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Food is amazing here. Folks at the counter are always friendly. I'm not sure if they were dine in, only ever done take out.
