I had mentioned to a friend that I wish we had better options for Chinese food locally, and she recommended Shanghai Express. The food was super good, cute little resturaunt, and the owners seemed really sweet! Definitely the best Chinese food that we’ve had locally in a really long time!

I just had dinner here. We ordered Sweet & Sour chicken and a 4 Seasons(C28). The chicken in the S&S is good. It's the right amount of crispy. The rice is also good with nice flavor and fresh vegetables. The 4 Seasons is like a surf-n-terf. It has shrimp, beef, chicken and pork. It's flavorful and is combined with healthy vegetables like broccoli, baby corn and mushrooms. All of our food was very fresh and hot. The red sauce I received with my S&S wasn't watered down like some other restaurants do. Pork eggrolls were included in our meal. They are large and tasty with the perfect amount of crispiness. I recommend trying this restaurant if you're looking for some GOOD Chinese food. Don't forget the chopsticks, they're really high quality too! PS: Due to COVID-19 restrictions there is currently no indoor seating available.

First time eating here. The food was very delicious! I had the General Tso's chicken. It was the most tender chicken I've ever had at a Chinese restaurant. I was very surprised by the taste and how fresh it was compared to others I've had in the past. The rice wasn't dry either. Reason for the 4 stars on the atmosphere: I didn't dine in, so I can't say much on the atmosphere, but it seemed like it would be a quiet place to sit and eat.
