"Overall: Not bad! Way better than other chinese places i have had. The food arrived hot, fresh, and not old or stale. The delivery could have been better but I ordered from Grubhub and this place handles their own deliveries. This means you do NOT get to track the order in grubhub. This makes for a poor delivery experience because you dont know when the person will arrive. A MAJOR NO NO- the delivery driver sat my food outside on the ground!! I HATE that. That is SO UNSANITARY! I get that she was having trouble getting into my building but she didnt have trouble contacting me! I answered her text right away and even communicated that I was on my way down. I saw her just as she turned around and was leaving! Dont do that again! I updated my delivery to ensure i had clear delivery instructions so the next driver wont have to contact me or wait until they get here. I suggest the same! Or perhaps i will check if they deliver to me and i can order direct.Now for the real review…the food!I ordered,Mongolian beef and added broccoli medium spicy- This was piping hot! The broccoli was fresh. I didn’t expect red and green peppers. I have never had that in mongolian beef. The spice could have been better for medium. The sauce/gravy had flavor and wasn’t bad. The only negative is that it was too greasy! You can literally see the grease kind of separating in the sauce! That was bad. But overall, not bad.Combination fried rice- this arrived hot. The rice wasnt hard or too old. The meat inside was chicken, beef, and shrimp. The rice didnt have a bad or old smell. It was good. The negative, it needed more flavor. Maybe some green onion or scallion or more soy sauce. Idk. But it did lack some flavor. I added sides of hot sauce. I didnt like it. It was like siracha but mixed with mild salsa.Final review: i would and maybe order from this place again. And maybe soon! But please add some flavor to the rice and take out some grease in the mongolian beef."

Have eaten here twice. Head and shoulders above the other old-fashioned Chinese spots. Portions are massive. Food is tasty.
Aurorae
Reliably great dishes, most generous portions with fair pricing, quick delivery. Miles beyond the many over priced north side places. One of my favourites.

In my opinion, this restaurant serves some of the best Chinese food I have ever tasted. The portions are generous, and I especially love the Mongolian beef dish. View menu

I have been frequenting this restaurant for years after my shifts at Turin across the street. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is also fantastic.

I ordered War Mein for takeout and the dish had a horrible, potent chemical smell to it, noticeable almost immediately upon opening. Dish went straight in the trash and won’t be ordering from here again.

Shanghai inn really is a blast from the past. It brings back memories of how Chinese restaurants used to be feel like. So I like that a lot. The quality was really good. The best dish was the shrimp fried rice! I would highly recommend that dish! View menu

The food was good. Like standard Chinese you get in the city. I wish they served a little more rice. Egg roll was decent too. It was ready in 15-20 minutes.I can't critique on atmosphere as it was a pick up order. The place seemed designed from the late 90s.Service was alright. I entered with my service dog and the lady was a bit unfriendly because of that. It's a good place to get a quick bite to eat just don't bring your dog around if you don't want to upset the lady worker.

We ordered delivery so I cannot comment on the service or atmosphere. I had the Mongolian beef and my partner had the beef with broccoli (not pictured), and we also split some crab rangoons and egg rolls. The Mongolian beef was tasty and the portions were generous. We both ordered large so we could have leftovers for the next day. The beef was not chewy and had a good amount of vegetables mixed in. It was decent, but I may try something different next time. The crab rangoons were pretty good, with a generous amount of filling and a good size. They were crispy and had real crabmeat inside, unlike some other places that only use cream cheese. The egg rolls were also well-portioned and had a pe...
