What's happened to this place? I used to love their food & had my favorites, but just a few days ago I ordered the War wonton soup & MuShu Pork, which I used to love. And it was awful. The meat in both items was hard to chew & parts of it tasted undercooked. I ended up throwing most of it away. Basically, that was $38 down the drain. I won't be going back! So sad! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance would honestly be my only complaint. I wouldn't go after dark ever again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior with its high ceilings is painted white. The light fixtures (which are lovely) have high wattage bulbs. The effect is reminiscent of a high school cafeteria.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was great. I would definitely go back for lunch. Service was a bit slow considering that when we got there there was only one table seated in the restaurant and when we left there were four including us. Food was excellent read more

Was a great food experience as well as top notch folks. It was joyous and fun both hanging out and enjoying such good (very yummy) food. Watching Jason show us how to clean a crab right off the dock and the service the family gave at their restaurant was impeccable. That will be a must stop every year for me. read more

Shanghai Chinese Restaurant - General Tao's #3 star for heat. - Chinese Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

We had the egg rolls, pot stickers, egg drop soup, pork fried rice, and the shanghai special sesame seed beef and ALL dishes were DELICIOUS. Service was excellent and this is my favorite Chinese restaurant I have found in the PNW since moving from another state 14 years ago. I actually gave up on Chinese restaurants in Washington and Oregon, but we stumbled across this one and gave it a try, and was surprised how amazing all the dishes are. I will drive three hours just to eat here again. I am jealous of everyone that lives in Port Townsend, because they could eat here as often as they would like. I highly recommend going here to eat- you won't be disappointed!!!! read more

This is the best restaurant!! The food was awesome as well as the service. They donated a gift certificate for the Paradise Bay community activity center and we will definitely come back!! We would highly recommend the family dinner for 4- LOTS of great dishes! read more

My son and I are big fans of Shanghai Chinese! One of the owners (and chefs) always comes out to crack a few jokes with my 12-year-old son and goes out of his way to customize our order (my son dislikes vegetables so the chef always asks him exactly how many carrots he wants in his sweet and sour chicken, and he also adds my favorite fried tofu to the garlic beans dish I always get). This last visit, he went over the top and created incredible food art on our plate (see pic below). And of course, the food is delicious-! read more

Shanghai Chinese Restaurant - Amazing Example of our food! - Chinese Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

This place has been upgraded -- we were really impressed. Definitely the best on the peninsula. Pot stickers are hand-made and pan-fried like they should be, specials are handwritten and change often. We had the special salt and pepper tofu which was both delicate and flavorful. The Shanghai beef with sesame -- flavorful, velvety goodness. I do recommend you actually order Chinese food (as opposed to the Thai they have) as they're really good at it. Will be a regular. read more

Authentic Chinese food in Port Townsend. Color me impressed. Is it exactly like "when I lived in China" Chinese food? No. Is it miles ahead of any other Chinese place I've gone to in WA? Yes. The sauce is light, but flavorful. Not overpowering. The rice wasn't soggy and overcooked, everything came out STEAMING hot (just ask my palate), and it was obviously freshly made. Veggies were crisp and colorful and I can The owner was friendly, engaging, and as we were the only table in the back bar area, allowed us to sit and eat quickly since we were catching a ferry. We were little piggies so we got three of the lunch specials - General Tso (because you always get that to gauge), a pork and veggie dish, and beef with broccoli. Honestly, they were all really good and the portions were huge. I have seen some reviews complaining about "tasteless" fried rice, but that's really what "fried rice" is like in China. I also didn't feel like my gut a) had a brick in it or b) going to explode after eating it. It was a lovely stroll down a gastronomic memory lane, and I'm so glad we were turned away by the place next door. It's definitely on one of my places to revisit! read more

I brought my family here twice in the last month and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Most recently we were there on a slow night and the chef came out and was playfully joking around with our kids. I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone. read more

Love the new kid play zone here! It is tucked back in other room so you don't have to worry about your children bugging other people. Lots of different toys. My daughter is entertained the whole Lunch and usually takes a break to eat some yummy fried rice! Lunch specials are very affordable and come with soup, wonton, fried rice and egg roll. read more

The food and service were very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We either came on a very slow night or maybe they do a lot of takeout. We were the only people there. Felt a little strange[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Again, the food was very good. read more

Shanghai has become our goto choice for dine-in, takeout, and delivery Chinese. Jason and his family for a great job serving up excellent dishes, six-days a week (not Wednesday) until 8:30 PM (a wickedly late hour for a restaurant here in PT). We enjoy the moo shu, noodle dishes, and all of the soups. So many great choices, and leftovers to keep the experience going. read more

Food was just... not great. Expensive for food I didn't even want to finish. Service was fine, we did take out

An oasis of *excellent* food, better service, and common sense for those of us conscientious about the immuno compromised in our lives. Proud note on the door proclaims staff fully vaccinated, and no wierd looks at coming in masked. Decent table spacing. And the food! Get the wings. I avoid wings, and I ate them clean! Bless you guys! read more

We were visiting from out of town. So, we only tried this place once. The meal was good. We tried a yellow curry beef, it was good. And Kung pow chicken, good. And shrimp egg fu yung - good flavor. I'd go there again. read more

This restaurant has improved considerably in the past year or so, perhaps with the younger generation able to pay more attention to detail and careful quality control. My favorite dishes are the generous well browned potstickers served with a rich mixed hot pepper dipping sauce, the hot and sour soup rich with seasoned pork, silken tofu, and egg among the fungi and bamboo shoots. The garlic green beans were amazing, stir fried with slivers of mild purple onion and a generous quantity of minced lightly browned garlic. Check the board for seafood or other specials. read more

We've been eating here for several years and have never been disappointed. The lunch menu is great with the choices delicious and filling.

Hands-down best Chinese vegetables in town this is a great spot right on the water and most peaceful location we found in Port Townsend. Owner Mr Lee is as authentic as they get directly from Canton and has done a great job making his local China menu available to the US diner... read more

I shouldn't even put one star for this place. I haven't been there for 3 1/2 years and we were told and I quote "you can sit here all night but you're not going to be served." I walked into the kitchen and it was so dirty. The owner was extremely rude. I've eaten here before and the food is terrible. It it's walking distance from the campground so we wanted quick Chinese food. Not anymore. This man is running his parents restaurant into the ground. read more

Food just OK. For American-Chinese, we prefer other places in the area. They post their menu on their Facebook page. But to a customer's surprise upon reaching the restaurant to pay, they add a $1 surcharge. Is that even permitted under Visa rules? read more

Our "extended" family of six adults and six children had an OUTSTANDING dinner recently at the Shanghai! We were all able to celebrate my hubby's birthday with an amazing, delicious, multi-choice meal in one of the Shanghai's 'side rooms'--which includes a wonderful kid's play area with lots of toys and activities to keep them busy in-between courses. The Shanghai's entire staff is friendly, efficient and attentive. Menu recommendations (for our group) were perfect for all...from soup to entrees! Win-Win ALL AROUND!!! TWENTY FOUR thumbs up for the Shanghai!! read more

Good Chinese food. We had the Shanghai chicken. It did not come with rice but i could have asked for rice no problem. The dish was beautiful and delicious. Orange slices to clean the palate and fortune cookies for desert! read more

A random drive to Port Townsend. It appears the city starts to shut down around 5pm. Highly recommend that ypu make reservations when you visyo the city if you think you'll be around for dinner time. Under new ownership, they have a survey on site, looking for tips from the customers. Pictures of of the family meal for 6. He food has a good flavor, but nothing over the top. At the end of the meal, they bring hot towels to wash up with, orand slices and the best vanilla based fortune cookies...along with your bill of course. read more

This place is a hidden gem for sure and worth the hunt right on the waterfront. Great food, clean, fresh attentive wait staff. The chef's preparation of the food was terrific and well presented. I had the twice cooked pork and my husband had the lunch special which was a stir fry halibut. Great portions, I had left overs to take and was quite pleased about that. The meal is ended with fresh orange slices and fresh hot scented hand towels. When I am in Port Townsend again I will return to dine for sure. read more
