Most Authentic Chinese Food in Washington!

by melissachalmers at Citysearch

My husband and I were reluctant to dine at Shanghai Cafe due to several comments stating the negative customer service experience they had had.

Fortunately we decided to try it anyway and are SO THANKFUL we did!!! The food is literally the BEST Chinese food in the Puget Sound area. We have brought many of our friends to the restaurant and every single one commented on how amazing the food was.

A friend that had lived in China for quite a few years commented that it was the closest to the actual cuisine he had ever had in all of his travels in the US!

Despite the negative comments regarding the owner, we have NEVER had a bad experience dining at Shanghai Cafe. We dine here regularly and are quite surprised at the negative comments left. Of course, those that are displeased always tend to leave negative comments as opposed to those who have a good experience though!

So....the message? Don't listen to the negative reviews!!! Shanghai Cafe has amazing food and to not dine here is to miss out on a wonderful experience!

authentic and delicious

Probably not a great spot for large groups, but food is great! Try the tofu soup thing, any noodle dish is excellent, any dumplings/potstickers dish will be yummy as well.

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
