What People Are Saying About Shanghai Cafe

Home-made, hand shaved noodles and Chinese favorites keep the locals coming back to this small Bellevue restaurant.
Our Favorite Comfort Food Restaurant
by 1sonia at Citysearch
My husband & I have been dining at Shanghai Cafe since 2004 and we go back there regularly; their staff is very personable; their service has always been good. We just love their hand-shaven barley green noodles with chicken; and our other favorite is mu shu pork. We occasionally get their Shanghai rice cake special too.
- Pros: food
- Cons: parking
Ignorant owner used racially insensitive words!
by tribalheritage at Citysearch
We went here for Chinese food, particularly the hand made noodles. The noodles were undercooked so we mentioned this to the woman who seated us. The owner shows up at our table and begins yelling at us, including some ugly words referencing our native heritage (we are native people.) This had to be the most awful dining experience of our lives! I mean this guy was calling us things you don't even hear in old John Wayne movies! DO NOT give this man your business!!
- Cons: The owner insulted our native heritage with some really ugly words
Extremely offensive behavior by owner
by milosandovar at Citysearch
we went to this place because of their hand made noodles. Well, they were not cooked properly and had a chewy texture. Utterly unappealing. We brought this to the waitresses attention and lo, here comes the owner running out and screaming at us about being ignorant Gwai Lo! we were actually threatened by this behavior so we attempted to leave. Our path was blocked and the owner continued his harangue. We have never seen such incredible behavior. We will never patronize this place again nor should you!
- Cons: Violent behavior by owner
handshaved!

my fave hand shaved noodles! always has the right texture to it and so flavourful! mmm! definitely good comfort food. their mushu pork is never greasy. their soups are great on cold, gloomy days.
- Pros: handshaved noodles, convenient location
- Cons: small, parking can be tuff
Rude owner
by wmc at Citysearch
We have frequented this restaurant over the years because the food is delicious and consistently good quality. However, this evening was the last time we are willing to put up with the extremely rude owner. She grabbed our dishes while we were still using them and started to clean the table because we were eating too slowly! We had been there less than an hour and the only reason we weren't done was because we had to wait 35 minutes for the first dish to arrive from the kitchen. I confronted the owner about this and she coldly told me never to return! Please do not support such an establishment because they do not deserve your business if they can be so mean to a loyal customer.
- Pros: food
- Cons: rude owner, crowded
