We arrived in town after a long drive and were tired and hungry, after checking into our Airbnb, we decided to order in as it was cold/rainy. I was a bit worried ordering Uber Eats from here because of the low ratings. I'm happy to say we had a good meal. I used a 60 percent off promo and was able to get pork fried rice and shrimp/broccoli delivered for 20 bucks( that included a 5.00 tip). It was a great value since the portions were large and the food was tasty. The shrimp/broccoli had a nice garlicky sauce. There was no steamed rice included, which I didn't realize when I ordered. Still, I would definitely eat here again. read more

Large food portions and tasty! The lady is so nice, very quick and convenient. I would visit this place more often!

Errr..... what can I say. The pieces were all there but.. the sesame chicken was the driest chicken I've ever had from Chinese cuisine. Where's the sauce? And what sort of cut is that? They were all oddly thin, square, and lacking any meat. Made me wonder what the heck I was eating. The cucumber salad I couldn't finish because it was like eating straight garlic. Actually, not "like" it, that's actually what it was. Garlic. I just kept reminding myself of the benefits of garlic. But whoa! The chow mein.. the pieces are all there. I don't know. I can't really recommend this place. Seems we're really lacking in the Chinese food department in this area. BRB going to go brush my teeth. read more

Me and my husband ordered the Sesame Chicken, Wonton Soup, Egg Fried Rice, Mongolian Beef, and the fried egg rolls. We were referred here by a friend and was told that they had some of the best Sesame Chicken around. Me and my husband's usual spot when it comes to Chinese food, which we are usually very picky about, is usually either Tommy's Wok or Feng Nian in Sausalito. We thought we would try a new place and we were sadly mistaken. The Sesame chicken was dry and too sweet. It was very sticky and not much flavor outside of the sweetness. The wonton soup was very bland, especially the broth. It was watered down and didn't taste good at all. The egg fried rice was also very bland and dry. The Mongolian Beef was excessively chewy. This is not a place that I would be coming back to. I will be sticking to what I know. read more

My Husband and I love this place for an easy, quick Dinner that really is tasty food. And, their service is great! We recently tried Their "Singapore Style Noodle" as a side dish instead of rice and absolutely love it! -- It is a nice change from rice and love the "pasta" style noodle! WE also downloaded their App "Beyond Menu" on Our iPhones and it is super easy to order from!! We also, normally have them Deliver to Our home and they are Super Fast -- easily less than an hour -- thank you!! read more

First time getting food here. We ordered take out from the previous owners or previous business at this location for years, May Lee's, and miss them lots. Anyway, to get my feet wet I ordered veggie chow fun. It was ok, nothing special and not good enough to order again. We will give it another couple tries. read more

Some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I got the lemon chicken as lots of people left good reviews about it, but it was rubber, bland, and with tons of sugar. Didnt taste any lemon in it at all either. Next up we got the hot and sour soup. It was very sour, not horrible but also not something I would want again. The shrimp dumplings were alright. The beef chow mein had some nasty beef. When I say nasty I mean like week old refrozen many times stanky as heck beef. Had to toss that whole thing out. Bleh. Finally, the eggplant in garlic sauce was very undercooked so I had to throw it in a pan and add garlic and other seasonings as it was bland and inedible. Stay away from here, far far away. read more

It can be hard to find cheap Chinese food that isn't super greasy/salty...but Shang Hai Kitchen is a rare gem that's both high quality food AND at great prices!! I've only done takeout so I can't speak for the indoor dining, but it's a perfect takeout option! You HAVE to try the Egg Yolk Lava Bao buns. These are the best buns in the Bay Area! Perfect egg yolk gooeyness, and just sweet enough. Definitely one of my favorite foods in SF! read more

My first time here. I was craving chow mein and they delivered! Delicious! I'll be back. read more

Shang Hai Kitchen - Combo Chow Mein! Delicious! - Chinese Near Me - Mill Valley, California

The prices and the serving sizes are what makes this place good as well as some decent food

Food that they promise in 5-10 minutes takes over 45 minutes. Lady on phone screams and is very rude. Very good food but takes forever. And order modifications are not accurate. Milk tea is Snapple lemonade. Request to make Singapore noddles veg is ignored. read more

To start off, the service is great and very friendly ! The food ?! AMAZINGGGGGGG ! My husband and I love chinese food but this is not our Favorite and number 1 go to for Chinese, very fast and reliable for delivery ! read more

Love this place I haven't ordered in awhile but when I used to work in mill valley I would order delivered.

Firstly, to the detractors here who complained about greasiness, well... to me it tasted like authentic Chinese home cooking, or the kind of good Chinese restaurant cooking I'm used to being a San Francisco native relocated to Mill Valley. I'm not Chinese but Asian (Filipino) so my sensibilities were not offended: grease comes with the territory. Secondly, I am excited to have finally found an "authentic" Chinese restaurant in the area. We used to go to Ping's in San Rafael, but the owners changed and the food now to us is bleh. Really disappointed last time we went and not going back. Granted, Harmony in Strawberry is a treat - pricey and upscale, still definitely a go-to. But my craving for the down-home, real-deal, no frills, familiar San Fran Chinese restaurant offerings were unmet by the other mom-and-pop Chinese eateries in the area. We started with the pork-filled fried won-ton which, I have to admit, didn't meet my expectations but it was good enough. I think the oil might have been old from the day (we ate at 6 pm) and the won tons were a little dark and didn't have a crispy consistency throughout. I'll just ask them for extra crispy next time. The Mongolian lamb: flavorful and tender bits of lamb. It was delicious. Black bean chicken: my husband ordered this and while very tasty as well, the chicken also tender, black bean isn't one of my favorite preparations. However, the vegetables in the dish were fresh and crispy. The whole sugar snap peas were a real surprise (you usually get snow peas in Chinese). They were crunchy and sweet. The braised green beans were perfect: also fresh and crispy. And yes, y'all, all dishes came with their share of grease - but not unpleasant or overwhelming... just familiar. We were given complimentary slices of fresh sweet watermelon after dinner -- also reminiscent of old-school Chinese restaurant service. The ambience? What ambience? It's a hole in a strip mall. They have beer and wine but only one type of red and white... and they don't sell by the glass; you have to buy the small bottle. They do have bobba however, in a variety of flavors. I'll go back (I hate delivery... I want my food hot, right out of the wok; and there were a lot of pick-up orders happening while we were there). The menu is pretty diverse and I look forward to trying out different things. Even wondering if the chef would prepare a whole fish or crab for me if I brought one in... read more

The best Kung Pao Tofu! The tofu is always fresh and soft on the inside. I always order the peanuts on the side, too. They also have very good spicy eggplant. I recommend Shang Hai Kitchen if the want the best quality food and great portion sizes for the price. We are so lucky to have this Chinese food gem in Mil Valley! read more

Love the food here. Always abundant and fresh. Thank you for a great Chinese food option in Mill Valley

To go menu state Spend over $ 50 , free drink or Appetizer. Didn't disclose only for Dinner, a little disappointed.

I bought $86 of food from Shang Hai for take out. Every dish was so bad we had to throw it all out. Our dog would not even eat it. No ingredients tasted fresh. It all tasted like frozen food with artificial coloring that had been prepared in a micro wave. Horrendously bad Chinese food. read more

huge portions and AMAZING food!!! very surprised we were the only people here. best chinese food we've had in the area thus far. read more

Shang Hai Kitchen - orange chicken, sesame chicken, hot and sour soup - Chinese Near Me - Mill Valley, California

This review is for customer service! I ordered through Postmates and the rice that I ordered was missing from the delivery. The Postmates people recommended to file a missing item report on their website to get credit but I really wanted my rice. I called the restaurant and they had their own driver deliver the rice along with complementary egg rolls. This is going above and beyond good customer service! read more

New owner but very much still May Lee's. Pretty much the same delicious Hot and Sour Soup. Just no more sushi (sadly) but everything we had was fresh and great. Even the same guy at the counter (but 'happier'?!?). Glad to see May Lee's is not totally gone. Thank goodness! Some new Shanghai-inspired appetizers and some new salt and pepper / rib entrees but many of the same May Lee's staples. Can't wait to go back and try some of the new offerings. read more

Shang Hai Kitchen - Fine Chinese Quisine - Chinese Near Me - Mill Valley, California

See all

Um. What the heck. I tried a couple of dishes here which were pretty good. Then I made the mistake of trying the orange beef. I say it was a mistake because I don't want to eat anything else now. Holy cow. The orange beef is among the best orange dishes I've ever had anywhere. Highly recommended. Portions are great, staff here is very friendly. Get the orange beef. Period. read more

The Mongolian beef, walnut prawns, and kung pao chicken never disappoint. Highly recommend this place for takeout!

Ordered delivery - 5 items. Restraurant closed at 9:00 and order had not arrived so we called to ensure it was on its way. Woman said that she had no order for us, to call Uber and hung up on us! Absolutely unacceptable!!!!!! Luckily our order had arrived and been left at door without knocking. Other than the Orange Chicken that was overcooked and hard, and what appeared to be slices of Spam in the soup, the food was good. However, the rudeness of the owner/worker shall prevent us from doing business here again. read more

The food arrived hot, however, the correct order it was not! Visiting from out of town on business, doing work in my hotel room, I thought this place sounded great. They charge extra for white rice to go with a $12.95 main entree. Nowhere on the menu, yelp page or grub hub was that indicated. So, no rice arrived to go with my meal. I called, we shall see if and when it arrives. Also, no napkins, cutlery or chopsticks. Yikes. They just need that one more step for accuracy. I would complain less about having to pay for the rice (maybe as just the thought of that makes me roll my eyes), but at least you would have let the customer know! read more

After traipsing around the redwoods for several hours, stopped by Shang Hai Kitchen for dinner with my husband. We were familiar with this establishment, as we had eaten there one time in the past. The food was okay at that time. This time, we stopped in around 5:00 pm on a Saturday and ordered food. We were told to return in 45 minutes to pick the food up. There weren't any other customers in line, so we figured this was a good sign we'd received the food in good timing. We were hungry. As we sat in the parking lot waiting, a few people started to line up. By 5:45, my husband returned to stand in the six person line to pick-up our order. He got into the restaurant at 6:00 pm and, when he asked about the food, the proprietress waved her hands at him in a "shoo"ing fashion. He stood to the side until she wasn't occupied with the plethora of phone orders and tried again around 6:15 pm. She didn't seem to know what we had ordered. He was told to wait. 6:30 pm rolls around. No food. The priority for distributing food at this establishment seems to be doordash or other phone-order methods before walk-ins. The other guests waiting for food near my husband also didn't receive their food. We wouldn't have minded waiting...but had not received accurate communication of a 2+ hour wait. By 6:45, we gave up waiting and left. So, one-star for the poor communication, disorganization, and terrible service. read more

I changed my 1 star to 3 because the food was as tasty as always. The more than 3 hour delay in getting our food prevents 5 stars. In the future be upfront about the delay instead of continuous 10 m8n delays. read more

Good service and good taste! Good service and good taste! Good service and good taste! Good service and good taste! Good service and good taste! read more

This place is so dang good! I just discovered them on Uber Eats, and they are EXCELLENT! The food is incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the prices are fantastic. We are hooked! read more

Food and portion size is good for the price. For lunch orders they also provide hot and sour soup and rice if you order a dish. Delivery was also timely and cheap :) read more

Shang Hai Kitchen - K1. Singapore Style Noodle for takeout - Chinese Near Me - Mill Valley, California

The fried food was so bad. I couldn't eat it. The service is terrible with an incredibly rude lady who runs the place

Always taste fresh. We like the salt and pepper fish and garlic noodles. Take out only and sometimes they are a little behind schedule.

This is your classic whole in the wall Chinese that is so authentic and delicious. They have some of the best soup dumplings in the Bay Area

Front cashier lady was extremely rude!!! She yelled at paying customers and door dashers in the store. The lady Proceeded to keep yelling at people who asked for their order. read more

This is wonderful place to have Chinese food They have big order that can I can not finish even They served soup and Salad Which is so good read more

Excellent Chinese cooking. I would describe this as rustic home cooking with a bit of gourmet style. The food is not too salty or oily and the vegetables are firm and with stylish cuts. I would say this is fresher and healthier than average with some unique individual style coming from the chef. Will go back and happy to have this place in town. read more

Mediocre food at best. Lousy ingredients. Very rushed preparation. They obviously want to sell a lot of food rather than good food.

All the food was tasty and the corn soup was awesome. But my delivery did not come with steamed rice!

Ordered from SHK for the first time last night (via Caviar) and was very happy with the quality. My wife had the Mongolian Beef and said it was the best she's ever had. I had the Sweet & Sour Pork and thought they perfectly balanced the basic elements of tender, moist pork, crisp batter, and just-right sweet sauce. I will definitely be back! read more

Super fast delivery. The scallion pancakes were hot and crisp OMG, I gorged. Servings are large and tasty. Best Chinese delivery in Marin. read more
