Reviews Old Shanghai Deluxe

Great food, lackluster service. The Peking duck and Shanghai beef lo mein were two of the best I've ever had. The environment was nice, but we were seated with another couple at the same table while there was still plenty of seats in the restaurant. The service was nothing to rave about, but they still took 25% tip without my consent. I also noticed that most of the wait staff decided to take their lunch break at the same time in the dining room just as there was a rush in the restaurant. None of them made any effort to attend to the influx of customers. Overall the service left a bad taste in my mouth even though the food was amazing.

One of Chinatowns best kept secrets till recently went to this restaurant 3 years back when the clientele was all Chinese and the menu was in Chinese too that has changed.... The soup dumplings are to die for ... Juicy and taut and bursts with flavor in ur mouth ... Don't go crazy when they bring the dumplings . Let it cool just a minute or two before u jump in.. U might burn ur lips - I did The slow cooked pork- tongpo pork is another signature here ...with steamed bread - this dish is a delight---- the real thing as opposed to the momofuku pork buns at their outrageous prices Good lunch specials... Even general Tso chicken tastes different- crispier than the run of the mill restaurants ...

I happen to think.... ... that Yeah Shanghai Deluxe has the best soupy dumplings in town. The braised pork belly is delicious, as is the stewed pork with bean curd sheets. I can also recommend the sauteed pea shoots and the salt and pepper shrimp. Everything I've ever eaten here has been an absolute delight.
