Hard review. I was expecting so much based on previous reviews, but I was sorely disappointed. I have yet to find really good, authentic chinese here. I am used to chinese from Vancouver, Toronto and NYC, so perhaps I am too spoiled. Anyway here it is: Busy. Rushed meal at the end. Mediocre to poor service. (too forever to get our order in and then were didn't see the wait staff until they tried to rush us out). Food was good, not great. Kind of bland, nothing special. Not even close to NYC chinese. Best thing on the menu was the dumplings. (which were good) Definately kid friendly (or just a lot of kids in the restaurant) All in all a big disappointment.
Pros: Kid friendly
Cons: Service, food, price

I went here with a friend who raved about the freshly shaven noodles and their dumplings. I was disappointed on both accounts. Way too doughy. Dumplings should have a thin "skin" not gummy as these were. The vegetables were over cooked. I'd take Hing Loon (same street on the east corner of the block) or 663 Bistro (SE kitty-corner from Hing Loon) over Shanghia Garden any day. Granted these places feature Hong Kong-style cuisine, but the quality is so much better.
