Old Town Shanghai

Another new and different place to try out. I loved the Shanghai noodles. They are bigger than regular spaghetti noodles and the flavor wasn't overly salty and soy sauced. I could eat a whole bowl by myself :). Customers were in and out. They are popular. The waitresses were helpful with ordering. Actually, they recommended the items on the menu with pictures. I like the flavor of Xlb with the pink ginger and vinegar sauce. These came with plain ginger so it was okay for me. The wonton soup was hot and filling, the fried fish with the egg yolk was crispy and good. It's a great place to try Shanghai cuisine.

It's a Chinese comfort food place with solid offerings with nods to ShangHai. I cannot say they are authentic and some dishes are definitely not ShangHai related. Just standard dishes for typical Chinese restaurants. Strangely, the one I enjoyed most was the pan-fried belt fish.Of course we order the fired bao 生煎包 -- two orders. They were not bad, but not the best I hand. XLB 小龍包 was OK, the gingers and vinegar that must accompany them were not.I wouldn't mind coming again, particular when ShangHai foods are getting rarer these days.Forgot to take pictures. Sigh..

This place is just a warm place to come, especially in December. The wait staff speak English but definitely default to Mandarin. Come test out your 5th grade lvl language skills here or if you're like me, come here for the food. The food is mighty fine like Might Guy. I think you'd be blown away like Naruto's wind style rasengan, I think these photos would catch your eye like Sasuke's rinnegan. Ayyyyyy cop a taste here.There's a lady with black hair and wears thick black frame glasses. Did some bantering with her and had a good laugh. Service is so friendly

A few other menu items I tried.Noodles with Scallion Sauce (3/5). The fried egg on top was a bit overcooked for me. The noodles and sauce were flavorful but not what I was expecting or hoping for. I know it's a simple dish, but I am no expert on this dish. My search continues.Sweet and Sour Spareribs (3.5) - good flavor, but not enough meat on the ribs.

Came here on a Thursday after work and the plaza is pretty empty. The restaurant was pretty empty too but the waitress was not too attentive. When it came time to take our order, she spoke to us across the room lol. We ended up ordering some vegetable pork wonton soup and a fried chicken rice plate. The wontons came out first after some time and they were pretty good. There was definitely a lot of vegetables in them. I was really excited for the chicken but it ended up taking so long and when it came out it was so over fried and dry. I did appreciate that they came with a variety of side dishws but aa I'm writing this there is still chicken fibers wedged between my molars. I'd steer clear of anything fried here but the other stuff could be okay.

My family and I randomly decided to go out for dinner. We weren't 100% set on the original place we chose, so when we passed by Old Town Shanghai, we decided to eat here instead. There was a short wait before we were seated. The ladies were very nice and apologetic about us having to wait - which I thought was very rare these days. Note, there is an option to sit outside (there were 2 or 3 tables out there), but it was cold so we chose to wait. As for the food - we ordered the wine chicken, beef & beef tendon soup, mapo egg tofu, spicy minced pork dry noodles, and and pan fried buns. We originally wanted a rice dish, but I completely forgot to order, which was unfortunate because the tofu would've tasted amazingggg with rice. It was good with noodles too - I'd just gotta make sure I don't include broth. I really loved their pan fried buns. So juicy! My brother said he was just "meh" about it...but he ate 2 whole ones, LOL. He usually dig out the meat in the enter if he doesn't like the bun portion. The noodle dishes were good as well, but they don't stand out much. FYI - they do charge $ for hot tea. They'll still ask if you want water or tea so just a head's up if you're going with people who are used to getting tea at Chinese restaurants as a tradition. They did warn us that it'd be extra charge when my mom chose tea though. I'd say that counts as good customer service - it's rare to hear them inform you about the costs these days.

Located in a neighborhood mini mall with parking is this unassuming spot with great food. Food was authentic in taste and variety. Shao long bao provided a tasty soup with each bite. We enjoyed the fried buns with its flavorful meat filling alongside the rice cake noodles which had the slight chewy texture and satisfying seasoning with just right salt level. The ribs sauce was a sweet vinegar surprise-plate lacking quality. Ambiance was pleasant and service great. Outdoor seating also available (yes the tables have shade).

First time to visit this restaurant for lunch .the environment was kind of like traditional chinese restaurant , with very friendly waitresses there. We ordered pork noodle and pork over rice . The pork was not dry , but soft and tasty . The rice plate came in a good portion size which would be big enough for lunch . The noodle was pretty good . We also tried xiaolongbao as well , be expected need to take 15-20mins wait time , but the taste was kind of average .I will come here more often for lunch .

Cute little chinese restaurant. Bright and cheerful inside. Some outdoor seating. The ladies working here are on top of things. The food, no matter what category we order, is delicious

An Italian and Chinese person walked into Old Town Shanghai and had a great meal! The quick and friendly service was appreciated as we were very hungry and tired. The owner was friendly and suggested a few dishes as well as pan fried dumplings with beef. My husband enjoyed the dumplings- I know because he ate all 6. I really liked the noodles with beef and bok choy. I don't generally eat beef but I thought the stir fried beef was great. We will definitely return and try other dishes from this restaurant.
