Shanghai Lily

I had a hankering for Pad Thai and this place hit the spot DEAD ON! Food was great, price as expected and impeccable service.

I have been told by the people of Powell this is the best place to get Chinese. I thought it was pretty average. I think other local places in Powell are just as amazing. I will definitely be back though. A Chinese place you can eat in!! Wide selection of food. You can be casual eating inside or dressed nicely.

Shanghai Lily is a staple in our regular ordering. We have been getting amazing food from them for over 11 years now living here. I do admit I tend to stick to my tried and true Seafood dishes, Moo goo gai pan and Pad thai. Last night I changed it up and ordered the Short Rib dinner for the first time. It was absolutely fantastic. Each bite was packed with flavor and the large chunks of meat were falling apart perfectly. It may be the best thing I have ever had on their menu! This will definitely be my new go-to when I order and want a hearty dish! Their food continues to be amazing and I'm so happy they are located so close to us!

We went here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't very busy so we were seated immediately. I had Shanghai homestyle tofu and he had the mala string beans (spicy). Mine was veggies and very firm tofu in a brown sauce. It was good and I love how they have the crispiest tofu I've ever had. His was a big plate of just mala string beans, but he loved it. Easy to find vegan options here. The food came out so fast, but tasted fresh and hot that we were surprised. We both had water (sadly a plastic straw already inserted) and he ordered hot tea. The tea came in a metal pot with a fancy glass teacup. The table had white linen with a paper square on top and candles so it felt very fancy. They also had outdoor seating. Our meal was $26.40 before tip including the $2.50 hot tea so it was very affordable despite being so fancy. The restaurant is also only 5 minutes away from the Columbus Zoo so it was a great way to end our zoo trip.

Not the best chinese restaurant around it does the job. We ordered three dishes and the beef with broccoli was probably the best out of the three.The kung pao chicken was a let down, do not order that. The water chestnut to chicken ratio was so large that i dont think i tasted any chicken.Because there are better asian restaurants around, unless this is close to where you live, I wouldnt recommend this restaurant.

Oh what a hidden gem. Very quaint. Cozy cocktail lounge and bartender too, Authentic Asian cuisine that will tempt your taste buds. So many entries to choose from. An 11 out of 10 on my food chart.

I'm only reviewing based on ordering take out and not physically eating there! My boyfriend said this is his favorite place for Chinese food. They do have a plethora of food options from more authentic Asian cuisine to your more "Americanized" cuisine. I got the beef chow fun and sweet and sour chicken. My boyfriend raves about their sweet and sour chicken, which I thought was good, but the beef show fun really lacked flavor. I kept having to add the soy sauce packets to my noodles.I also had a chance to try the chicken fried rice and it's kind of bland. When I think of fried rice, I think of color and flavor, but I had to add soy sauce and my friend kept adding soy sauce too.I would eat/order here again though to try other things!

A delightful cozy place and exceptional food! A hidden gem in a corner of Shawnee Hills. Be sure to give it a try!!

Great dinner. We found a new Chinese restaurant. We will be back. Great service. I had General tasos

Still my favorite spot for great, fresh food. Shrimp and broccoli is my favorite.....love their soups as well. Never had a bad meal here. Little pricey but you get what you pay for!
