This is my go to Chinese restaurant on Windsor. Reasonable pricing and the food is always good. Probably their best food is their dumplings - you can see them freshly made at the front of the store - can of like Ding Tai Fung light!!! You can order online on their website - tip, same pricing on Skip the Dishes but more expensive with other delivery options. They have decent seating but it's very busy on weekends. read more

We have been here once before and I forgot to review it so here I go and I am finally reviewing it with photos. This place is AMAZING! In Michigan we do have some dumpling places but this place in Windsor just takes the cake when it comes to excellent Ramen & Soup Dumplings. When I got here the wait wasn't long at all, we were seated within 3 minutes. The menu has ALOT of options to choose from and if you like spice like I do you have to try the Steamed Spicy Beef Soup Dumplings, they are VERY delicious and they do have a little kick to them and the orange color gives it a cool look to them. I also ordered the Shanghai Bistro Beef Noodle Soup which was also a little spicy but that Ramen was sooooo good, the beef was cooked perfectly and the Boo Choy was a little crunchy which was very good. The vibe here is very cool, people from all over come here, the staff is very kind and courteous and it's not loud either. This place is a must try if you LOVE soup dumplings and Ramen. read more

Legit dim sum! So glad I crossed to border to try Shanghai Bistro. There are 2 Chinese restaurants in the metro Detroit area that have decent dim sum, so I didn't have high expectations. This place is authentic. Love seeing dumplings made at the front of the restaurant! Large selection of dim sum and traditional Chinese dishes too. My mom, her friend, and I went overboard with our order. We tried a noodle dish, crispy pork, har gow, shumai, scallion pancakes, and red bean pancakes... I think I got everything. We left with 5 to go boxes too. So much food and it was all fresh and so tasty. Restaurant is clean. We were able to be seated even though the restaurant was about to close. Our server and everyone we interacted with was so friendly! read more

This was well worth the trip over from Michigan for dim sum. All the food was delicious but standout items were the charcoal and egg yolk bun, the sticky rice with chicken, the spicy wontons, the shu mai, and the black sesame rice balls in sweet rice wine soup. Service was great and very friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

Second time coming back. I live near Flint and will always try and find time to eat here. Their stir fried noodles with beef is my all time favorite. Soup dumplings were also quite juicy and filling. Last time I was here I had the griddle cooked pork belly and potato, good spice level and taste, just felt like I didn't have much pork in the dish. Service is always attentive even if it seems like they are packed (which they usually are!) read more

Had really high expectations but sadly this restaurant did not meet them. I got the Pork with Garlic Sauce (鱼香肉丝), beef short ribs, soup dumplings, and a dessert. These were all recommended. The flavor was off for all of them. The pork with garlic sauce was way too sweet for my liking. He could taste the added sugar. There was way too much sauce and it made the dish very thick. The beef short ribs were not special in any way, were pretty tough to chew, and did not really have much flavor. I would rather get Korean Kalbi instead. The soup dumplings were okay, but you could tell the skin was not homemade, or if it was, it was pretty thick and did not have the mouth-feel as some other restaurants that specialize in soup dumplings. I also got a coconut dessert putting which was okay for the price. It was busy on a weekday evening. Service was attentive for a takeout order. However I am very hesitant to try this place again. read more

So on the recommendation of a friend, I went for dim sum to Shanghai Bistro on Wyandotte West. I love dim sum but never seem to find time to eat it. Well, today was going to be the day I either enjoyed myself, or wished I had gone for bubble tea down the street. The first thing I noticed was one of the chefs by the front door. sitting behind a Plexiglas shield and making some kind of dumplings. Well, that's encouraging, I thought. The inside was clean and simple, the Formica school of Asian restaurant interior design. Now, I'm not saying a restaurant full of Asian diners is a guarantee of quality, but, seeing a restaurant full of Asian diners always gives me a confidence boost that I chose the right place. I got four items, siu mai, har gow, crab and pork soup dumplings, and curry cuttlefish. Making up for lost time, as it were. Everything arrived at once, and was all nice and steamy hot. The siu mai were tasty, especially after being dipped in the provided chili oil. Har gow need a thin enough wrapper to be enjoyable and not too chewy, and these were perfect. The soup dumplings were a disappointment, buit only because some had broken at the table. I'll take responsibilty for one at most, but...However, the ones that were intact were a slurpable delighful dumpling. The curry cuttlefish were cooked to perfection, not at all too chewy, nice and tender. The curry was spicier than all the previous versions of this I've had, but not super spicy. I enjoyed it. There was what I think were two small cubes of mashed taro, which I've NEVER had before. They did add some textural difference to the dish, if nothing else. Finally, on the same friend's recommendation, I got their smashed cucumber in garlic sauce for take-out and had it for breakfast the next day. It was fresh smashed cucumber pieces in a spicy garlickly sauce which wasn't overpowering in either spice level or garlic. A nice light breakfast after eating way too much dim sum the day before. Prices were average for dim sum. Service was friendly and excellent. This has become another must visit place in Windsor for me! read more

Warm, cozy family restaurant that provides authentic Chinese food. We all really enjoyed the Shanghai noodles. The noodles were flavorful and a great portion size that the whole table could share. All the dim sum that we had had a good amount of filling. The soup dumplings was a hit for our table. It was the perfect size to bite in and the soup broth was delicious. We also go to watch the chef make the dough for the dumpling. It's great that they make the dough fresh from this restaurant. Our server was friendly and nice. I definitely would recommend this spot for some dim sum or Chinese food. read more

Absolutely love this place. The staff is great and accommodating, outside of the food which is superb. Favorites are the sticky rice shumai, har gow, spicy wontons, green onion pancakes and griddle cooked green beans. Worth the drive across the border for authentic dumplings & dim sum which I cannot find in the US! read more

I had always heard the best place to get dim sum in Detroit is to just go to Windsor. I've been here a couple times, and I would have to agree. I would easily cross the bridge just to eat here again and again. The ambience feels like your typical, nice Chinese restaurant. Something that I really enjoyed is seeing one of the chefs making the dumplings right in front of the window really signifying how fresh they are. The food is the star of the show. The dumplings in the spicy chili sauce are one of my favorite dishes. The dumplings are moist and flavorful, and the chili oil just gives it that nice oomph that elevates everything. The steamed soup dumplings are also spectacular with delicious broth ready to burst out of the wrapper. Unfortunately, the last time I went, service was not great at all. After we ordered and got seated down front and center of the space, we were basically ignored the rest of the night. Even though it was not even half full, somehow they completely forgot we existed. Almost all of our orders were given to the wrong tables and only after flagging the waiter down did they notice we had been sitting there for an hour+ without food. I was also disappointed that they did not try to reconcile their mistake besides giving a half-baked apology and excuse. 5 stars for the food but the service definitely knocks it down to a 3. read more

One of the best Chinese places for the price. Everything is slightly cheaper from us to Canada, and we were able to get all this food for a reasonable price. Ambiance was a typical Chinese restaurant. It's alittle older vibe and a smaller place, but that when you know it's good. Service was fast. read more

We heard about this place on Social Media as best Dim Sum Place in Windsor Ontario but also in Detroit area. We came from Grand Rapids for a day trip and had to stop here. The food is amazing. The service was warm and friendly, offering suggestions and explanations. Talk to the older woman if you have questions. As for the ambiance, it was small inside and bright. I grabbed a seat up front and caught the cold air every time the door opened for new customers or pick up orders, which was often. So in winter, avoid table by front door. Otherwise make this a must visit place if you love Dim Sum and other authentic Asian food. Worth the 3hr drive from GR. read more

Some of the best Chinese food I have had in Ontario. All of the foods I have tried - ranging from the dumplings, to the noodles, and the meats - have been amazing. Highly recommend the spicy beef dumplings, the green onion pancakes, and the noodles with the shrimp, beef, and pork. We have become regular customers and dream about going back all the time read more

I'm glad we crossed over to get our dim sum fix at Shanghai. Dumplings are the star of the show here. The dim sum is rather limited compared to Shangri-La in Midtown Detroit but the handmade dumplings are worth a visit. There aren't many options for non-red meat eaters. And they don't make dumplings to order so if you like pork you're in luck. The prices seemed a little high for me but upon being served I understood why. The portions are family size. Definitely recommend. read more

I completely forgot I've been here before, but glad I tried it again. The Shanghai noodles were pretty flavorful. The beef with broccoli was pretty good. The beef was a bit chewy and could have done with more spice. I do wish they were not so stingy with the side of chili oil we asked for (they gave the smallest amount that was mostly oil). read more

We stopped by this place to pick up dinner after crossing the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit. It can be very busy over the weekend, so you may want to avoid peak hours. Their menu features a good combination of traditional Chinese cuisine, and Westernized Chinese dishes, like General Tso chicken. Dim Sum is also featured in the menu as well. However, you may want to be aware that some dishes' flavor has been localized to fit the local taste. When we ordered the Pork with Garlic Sauce, we couldn't help but notice the strong augmentation of maple syrup added to the dish. Although it gave an unique flavor, it was something that we didn't expect. Otherwise, all other dishes and dim sums were done very tastefully. read more

We had a great experience at Shanghai Bistro. Ordered the scallion pancakes, crab & pork soup dumplings, and pork soup dumplings. The pancakes were thick, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The dumplings were delicious, the soup was so good, the skin was a little thick, and the meat was generous. Perfect meal for two hungry customers on a chilly day. Would cross the border to Windsor just to come again! read more

food was outstanding and for not as worldly, the items I tried and bravely were amazing. Looking to now order for my Birthday.

Went last week with 5:30 reservations. Were seated immediately. Placed our orders. The entrees came immediately. Then the soup and spring rolls.Questioned why didn't we get the spring rolls and then the soup , dumplings following. No answer. We were in and out in 1/2 hrs. Was very disappointed.,The food is wonderful, however a relaxing dinner was not had!!! read more

Came all the way to Canada just for dim sum and let me say it was totally worth it. We got lucky as we were able to be seated right away but many people who came after us waited for quite a while. The dim sum took a long time to come out so definitely be prepared to wait for the dim sum. We got the spicy beef soup dumplings, pork soup dumplings, chive pancakes, shumai, and the sweet sesame soup. Our favorite was definitely the spicy beef soup dumplings. The broth was rich and delicious and not really spicy. The shumai was very different from shumai I've had in the past. We'll be making good use of our passports to come over here read more

This place is known for their delicious soup dumplings (xiao long bao)! The charcoal liu sha bao (salted egg yolk custard bun) was also my favorite and was both sweet and savory! Super fast service and our waiter who I think may be the owner was also very friendly and accommodating. They have a large menu of noodle, rice, meat and seafood entrees with more traditional Chinese dishes as well as Americanized dishes. So happy to have found this place that is conveniently only 30 mins across the border. Will definitely be coming back frequently. read more

I can't give this place enough stars. It's well worth the 30 minute drive, the toll, and the stop with customs. I'm so happy they didn't close permanently with Covid restrictions because their food is just that good. All of it has been consistent - I can now rattle off the numbers that we must get every time we go. The crab and pork soup dumplings are always on point, juicy, soupy, hot, flavorful and everything you want in a soup dumpling. The spicy crispy Szechuan chicken is always a must get every time as well as the garlic green beans. We also get the pan fried pork dumplings are some of the best I've ever had and I could go on and on. I'm determined to eat through their menu but we just keep adding favorites. The service is always polite and pretty par for the course in a casual Chinese restaurant. Depending on your appetite and number in your party, we usually are able to get away happily, bellies full of dumplings for about $25-$30 US dollars with tip included! read more

The Chinese food options were good. Not a good place for dim sum. No variety. Overpriced. Disappointed, came from across the border with family. Not good first time experience. Many years ago dim sum used to be. Whole lot better. Not in any hurry to be back. Also food a little bit greasy. read more

It's decent. About $20+tax pp for lunch. Shanghai noodles were so so, Singapore noodles were good. A bit more curry/spice vs other places I've been to and fairly generous with the meat. Beef onion pancakes were ok, a bit too much hoisin if you ask me. Veggies were excellent (Chinese broccoli which doesn't look like broccoli other than it's green). Soup dumplings, pot stickers spicy wantons and pan fried pork buns all pretty good. Two bowls of complementary soup/wantons to start but 4 Total wantons and eight people at the table. Huh? And I did not see the spicy beef noodle soup, 紅燒牛肉湯麵; it's a staple but not on their menu. A bit disappointed with that. Service was super fast and stuff came out so hot we couldn't eat it right away. Yep I would go back. Not many legit Chinese restos in Windsor these days and this might be the only Shanghai style dumpling place. read more

Strikingly delicious Chinese with a dim sum menu in a modest venue Try to get one of the tables with a dumbwaiter. Yes, the three varieties of soup dumplings are shockingly good and justify the trip over from Michigan. The spicy one is my favorite, but be careful not to burn your mouth. The General Tsao chicken is fantastic . All items good, fresh, hot high-quality. Wash it down with their homemade iced tea. Sincerely the best Asian food of any genre I have found in Windsor or SE Michigan. WINNER!! read more

Salt and pepper squid - crispy and tasteful. You def can taste the Chinese 5 spice in the dish. Twice cooked pork - slices of pork and beans. Over all good tasting. Soup dumplings - not too bad comes with dipping sauce. Service was okay. Seated right away, but took awhile for us to get sever to take our order. Once they did service was better. They do charge per rice bowl and does not come with entree. read more

Great food and taste with helpful service. Clean venue. It is difficult to make better food at home for the same price. I am a regular.

This place was super cool. We decided we should make the drive back in the future just to go here. There's a guy that sits in the window making dumplings while waiting for folks to come in. We were a party of five so we got to sit at a table with a lazy Susan. We ordered a ton because we wanted to try so much and had extra to take home. We ordered spicy beef soup dumplings, pork soup dumplings, pork and chive steamed dumplings, pork and crab soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, general tso chicken, chicken fried rice and everyone had a different favorite. We would get it all again. read more

The crispy chicken was full of small bones. The shaghai noodles were slimey. The meal was cold when it was delivered, and whomever packed the dinner did not even take the care to put ithe noodle dish n a plastic bag , so it leaked all over everything.
