The food is AMAZING! We've been getting take-out food every 2-3 weeks since the day Chen's Shanghai opened. The dishes demonstrate an unusually broad variety of ingredients and flavors; the ingredients are always strikingly fresh and work well together. Highly recommended!
My family and I lived in China. Our favorite places in China were small, affordable, delicious. Basically, that describes Chen's Shanghai on 15th Ave. Parking is tight, but if you go to the side of the building, it's spacious on the adjacent road. The jiaozi (dumplings) and xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are really tasty. Also, the dry-wok green beans.
Clean , excellent service and food ! Walked in with my child who loves rice - not only were they quick - but very caring in getting my order . Fried rice was delicious!
Outstanding tastes, very attentive, fast and polite service. I really appreciate the opportunity to try Shanghainese dishes that I haven't seen before. The dumplings were absolutely delicious as was the eggplant and garlic dish.
I ordered the cucumber salad and sweet and sour ribs. The ribs had lots of meat on them! A different flavor than what I'm used to but still very tasty! The cucumber salad was crisp, garlicky and refreshing! The service was prompt. I ordered takeout and it was ready right away! In fact, there was an employee waiting at the counter the whole time! The ambiance was casual. Nice decor and ample seating. The parking lot is very small but there is plenty of street parking.
The food is really good, authentic taste and style. Makes me want to try it all. Last time we came in at a rush hour and waited for more than half an hour. This time we stopped by after a morning hike and it's 2pm so not crowded at all. It's perfect for food recharge. I have to say they should have vegan options or labels. The pictures on the menu help a little bit but still I got one dish come with meat after we confirmed with the waiter that is vegan food. Hope they can improve that part. For the taste I definitely recommend this place.
