“ The food at this place was delicious. I loved the walnut shrimp and stir fried green beans with garlic and pork. The service was absolutely impeccable and nice. The food was delicious as I absolutely destroyed it. The iced water was refreshing and lovely. Although it is a little pricey the food was delicious. As you can see in the photos I destroyed the food. ”
“ **Out of Business** Chef Lee’s pedigree and expertise has incredible history dating back to Shanghai China. If you want more than “American” Chinese food go here for Authentic Chinese cuisine. It’s rediculous good ”
“ We have never had a disappointing meal at Shanghai Bistro! The service is quick and friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. From Curry Chicken to Mongolian Beef, you can't go wrong here. ”
“ Outstanding! More than enough but I want to try everything. I am 30 years a chef and I rarely rate food this highly. Not for the weak of palate—flavors are bold and intense. Ingredients are very high quality. The meal was an experience and I have a lot to take home. Shanghai Bistro def gives my other fav asian restaurant in town, The Wok, a run for its money. ”
“ Amazing food. I think this will be my new spot all the time. The owners are kind and friendly, the service is very attentive. It's sad that they had to take lamb off the menu due to the high cost of lamb, but hopefully it comes back in the future. Some of the best Chinese in Reno. ”
“ What an amazing find. Super friendly staff and possibly the best authentic Chinese I’ve ever had. We ordered a bit of everything and it was fantastic. My favorite was the twice cooked pork and sauteed snow pea tips. ”
“ We have been here many times. The food is always top notch. I read a review on the Mongolian beef that said it was rubbery. Apparently the person doesn't know what velveting is. The beef is always amazing. Never chewy and always soft with a nice bite to it. The flavors are wonderful. Probably the best Mongolian beef in town though I'm partial to the Mongolian lamb at Crawfish Asian Grill. Everything I have had at Shanghai has been wonderful. Their whole fried flounder is great, their dry scallop fried rice is spot on, the services is great, the food comes out really fast. It's hard for my wife and I to find something we don't love about this place. ”
“ Very high quality food and authentic flavour! Love their food so much, and their service is so good! ”
