The quality of the food was okay. Portions were on the smaller side, more like appetizer portions. There were eight of us. When the bill came, it had 18% service charge automatically added which was expected. However, the final check came and they circled additional tips for 18%. Now I don't think that's right. Probably will not return.
I'm always on the hunt for delicious Shanghai fried noodles and found Shanghai delight on Yelp. The restaurant is located on the left side of the Ranch99 shopping plaza on Barber Lane. My phone order for their Shanghai style chow mein for pickup was ready in only 15 minutes. The employees were incredibly friendly and made me feel appreciated. On a late Saturday evening, almost every table was occupied. After trying the noodles at home, it's easy to see why this place is so popular. I loved the thick noodles and their great flavor! The dish also included a generous amount of pork and two distinct types of vegetables. I'll definitely dine in next time and can only imagine how much better this dish could have been fresh. There was plenty of parking that evening.
I generally really enjoy Shanghainese food especially the salty pork veggie rice... When the rice arrived it looked wet... but was actually oily. Not much salty pork taste but very "green" taste. I could taste the Chinese book Chou in every bite as if the soak the rice in veggies purée. Not the best version I have tried in the Bay Area. The appetizer (coupled delight?) 父妻肺片 was very salty and small. The numbing oil was tasty but the meat tasted overtly marinated and very salty. The best dish was the meatballs. The salty egg yolk was wonderful. The texture of the meatballs was a bit mushy but passable. And all the while I had to shoo away a fly what was fixated on the meatballs...
The menu is huge! Talk about authentic Shanghainese cuisine! The service was quick, and we got our dishes right away. We were in and out for lunch in an hour. My favorite was this fish dish, which is easy to overcook, but they didn't! It was tender, flaky, and flavorful. The lionhead meatballs tasted great over rice. The only reason I docked one star is because the prices were a little high for a "dive-y" place (ie, menu specials printed and taped on the walls, disorganization, not super clean), but the food was delicious so I'm not complaining. My friend and I were fighting over who should bring home the leftovers!
Ordered Sauteed Prawns, Filet Fish in Wine Sauce, Crabmeat Ball, Preserved Vegetable with Bean Curd Sheet, Bean Curd with Vegetables, Happy Family Clay Pot, Seafood and Tofu Pot, and Soup Dumplings. All the food was good, but my favorites were the clay pots, bean curd with vegetables, and vegetables with bean curd sheet. The service was quick and attentive. And the ambiance was casual.
The environment and service were decent. I ordered three dishes, and the disappointing one was a cold appetizer--Shanghai smoked fish. The fish was over-fried, making the meat too hard, leaving nothing enjoyable to eat. My favorite was the Sauteed Shelled Prawns; the shrimp were unexpectedly tender and delicious, resembling the texture I had in Shanghai. As for the Yangzhou-style bean curd and dry shrimp, it was just so-so. Essentially, it was dried tofu strips, shrimp, and vegetables cooked together in a broth.
Shanghai Delight is a small, modest restaurant located in a strip mall shopping center. My family and I arrived at around 11:30am on Saturday, which is right before the lunch rush. Thus, we were seated right away. However, it was pretty packed by the time we left. My family got a few items to share including the Shanghai style noodle soup, Shanghai style pork fried rice, fish fillet, and pork belly. Overall, the dishes that we ordered were simple, but done well. It felt homey and I wouldn't mind getting any of these dishes again. Of course, next time, I'll have to try some additional specialty items because the tables next to us had me craving more!
Second time here in less than a month. Ate the fish with wine sauce and braised cloud's ear and sautéed eggplant. Easy ordering system by QR code on the table or placing the order in Chinese with a waitress. Food comes piping hot to the table. Appreciate their good service and great food. Look forward to our next meal here!
I liked the meat ball with egg yolk stuffing, that dish was delicious. The chicken reminded me of orange chicken, was ok for me. The tofu puff was delicious, but the pork that came with it was a bit too salty for me, other than that, the dish was good as I really liked the squash that came with it.
Great food, would come back to try more dishes! *** A M B I A N C E *** Very homestyle restaurant vibe. There isn't anything special about the interior. The chopsticks looked a bit worn out, so we asked for disposable ones. The ceramic plates and bowls looked okay, but I noticed that some tea cups were slightly chipped. *** F O O D *** Bean Curd with Vegetables YangZhou Style Bean Curd and Dry Shrimp Grouper in Sweet and Sour Sauce Dried Stir Fried Lamb with Cumin I liked all four of the items we ordered. What you see on the menu is what you get. I specially really enjoyed the Grouper in Sweet and Sour Sauce. The presentation of the item didn't look amazing but the taste was absolutely 10/10. The Dried Stir Fried Lamb with Cumin was also very flavorful and paired well with rice! *** S E R V I C E *** The food came out pretty fast. If you have leftovers, they would pack it for you.
This is one of the perfect 3.5 places, iykyk. My coworker and I are trying ever place in the plaza as there's so many we haven't tried. Starting from the left Shanghai was first. The best recommendation I can give to a place is that I want to take my mom there. They definitely get that stamp. I'm a little disappointed we didn't bring more people as there's so many items we can't wait to try. Since it was our first time we went simple. With beef wrapped in bean curd, mapo tofu, and cabbage with mushrooms. The blend of these items was incredible. There are so many options on the menu and we can't wait to try them all. Service is what you would expect in a place like this and I wouldn't want it to change. Everything is clean inside, but not much space. I'm giving it a 4 star to not throw off the metics but if you read this you know they hit it out of the park.
Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 3/5 Solid 4 Stars! Food was so yummy. Ordered Dry stir fried lamb with cumin and I believe Home style sautéed pork with vegetables. And side of rice. Delicious lamb dish. Enough food that we had it for dinner as well. Service was fast! This is far from my house but I will drive for their delicious food! Can't wait to try other dishes that I've marked on their menu.
Delightful discovery of their affordable Shanhainese dishes, but also strangely some stuff with a good amount of heat too. Almost like it were masquerading as a Sichuan place as well! Either way hit this homey mom & pop joint if you want to good quality authentic Chinese eats. Being situated in Milpitas square helps the parking situation as it's generally easy to find something regardless of the time. Although seating is only indoors, it was generally pretty spacious and staff were quite friendly in our brief interactions. The menu is pretty large (large enough it'd be prohibitive to post all the pages), but helpfully has lots of big photos of their dishes to give you an idea of their offerings. They also have some nice takeout combo deals posted around the place (mom & pop right?). My group opted to get a nice spread of their offerings, some sweet, some spicy, just to get a sense of their strengths and generally I was pretty happy with all of them. It's not top of the line in every regard, but cozy and well done with no major shortfalls. ==Chongqing Fried chicken [4.5/5]== Actually spicier than the last place I went to for lazijiding that was focused on spicy foods! Well balanced on the use of peppers and mala and quite flavorful. The veggies could've been stirfried a smidge longer to get rid of all the rawness from the onions, but generally a fan of this take. ==Sweet & sour ribs [5/5]== Pretty good rendition. Couple smokey bits, but very fragrantly crispy (stayed that way for a while too) and lovingly coated with a clingy sweet and sour sauce. Sauce was also well balanced and complimented the fried ribs. Was quite a fan of these. ==Mapo tofu [4/5]== Spicier on the capsacin/pepper front than mala, but pretty tasty rendition of the classic dish. Tofu was nice and fresh, though the sauce could've used a bit more oomph in my opinion. Perhaps for the better there wasn't too many super salty dishes on the table though, so as a whole I didn't think too much of it. ==Shanghai style fried rice cakes [5/5]== Solid rendition; veggies were fresh and the chicken was nicely moist/bouncy. Rice cakes were all tender and chewy in the right ways and seasoning wasn't too heavy either.

Good price, solid food. It's in rotation for our Chinese restaurants. Love their pork wrapped with tofu skin, soup, and noodles. Good textures, although do lean a little sweet for Shanghai food. Pretty cheap for the quality and quantity. Can be a little oily so get more veggie/soup dishes to balance your palate. Usually have at least a couple tables open and fairly quick service. read more
Tasty Shanghainese comfort food Had a meal at Shanghai Delight in Milpitas and ordered the Shanghai-style chow mein, Mongolian beef, and xiao long bao. The Shanghai-style chow mein noodles had a great chewy texture and were packed with savory flavor without being overly greasy. The Mongolian beef was tender and flavorful with a nice balance of sweet and savory sauce that paired perfectly with rice. The xiao long bao were also enjoyable, with delicate wrappers and a flavorful broth inside. They arrived hot and were a great addition to the meal. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly even during a busy dining period. The vibe is casual and family-friendly, making it a comfortable place for sharing dishes with friends and family. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant that's easy to return to when you're craving comforting Chinese food. Overall, a solid spot for Shanghainese favorites and satisfying flavors. I'd come back to try more dishes from the menu. read more
Came here on a Wednesday night. Still many tables were available . Ordered many dishes and we just loved how the chef used only a little bit of cooking oil to cook each item. Most restaurants use a lot of oil to cook each dish, but this is probably one of the healthier restaurants. Definitely good for people that are trying to eat healthier. Everything was quite bland but still tasty. read more

Cai fan is consistently good (still too much salt); however, some terrible dishes ordered to the point where I don't want to order anything else. In general, they use too much salt on their dishes here. The yuxiang eggplant was covered in a disgusting sauce... had to throw it away. Portions for takeaway can be sparse. read more
Sweet & sour pork spareribs are solid, and probably the star of the show here. We ordered their sweet & sour pork spareribs, pea shoots, Shanghai chow mein, and the XLB. Sweet & sour pork spareribs: Again, solid. Get this if you're craving it. Good color, doused in the sauce, excellent overall. Pea shoots: One of my favorite veggie dishes to order in Chinese cuisine. Compliments the S&SPS above. Garlic taste, clear sauce. Very good. Shanghai chow mein: Chewier and thicker than more commonly eaten chow mein in American-Chinese cuisine. Another one of my favorites. XLB: In attempt to use a phrase very common among zoomers, this was very "mid". While it certainly looks the part, it lacked any punchy flavor in the broth. I've been looking for my next XLB place ever since my favorite place closed down several years ago. I'm still trying to find that next best place. They also have killer lunch specials, I'm coming back for that next time. read more

I haven't visited this restaurant for a while, so I wanted to give it a try again. The service is good, as the waitress was very fast to serve the table. The menu is nicely printed and is also available by scanning a QR code. The food is still so so. Overall, the food is somehow missing flavors. For example, the Shanghai meatball doesn't have a taste of meat. But the food presentation is up to standard. The restaurant is down to earth so it has a comfort and homey feeling. read more

The 3.5 star Chinese restaurant rule holds true! This place spends absolutely nothing on renovations and presentation and instead opts to deliver on authentic dishes and generous portions. What you see is what you get! They got us in and fed us fast and service was great. This place literally means home style cooking and I think that's very fitting- not too salty or oily. read more
I got three dishes for takeout: - Xiao Long Bao - Chicken Curry - Bok Choy with Mushrooms It was all pretty standard but I felt like the price was way high for what it was. The wrapping on the xiao long bao was too thick and there wasn't much soup, even when it was still warm. The chicken curry was pretty good and they give you a sizable portion for your serving. It was very flavorful and I like that they give you other onions and veggies. However, it was so oily - I think it was so oily that there was a film covering the bottom of the container after we finished eating. The Bok Choy was also really good and I would definitely get it again. It was fresh and super tasty. Overall - I think it's a solid meal but not the best I have had. I would consider going back and trying out some other dishes. read more
Excellent location for Shanghainese food in Milpitas. We come here every time we're in the neighborhood. They have indoor dining available as of July. We came around 7 PM and found it about half-full. To start, we ordered the bean curd and veggie hill (I don't remember the name of it but there is a picture) and the Nanjing salted duck. Both dishes were served cold and were quite tasty. Then, the main entrees included the braised pork knuckle and the bamboo shoot, edamame, bell pepper and pork medley. Both of them were really good. In particular, I would recommend getting the pork knuckle if you're in a large group (at least four). It comes in a delicious sauce, but doesn't have crispy skin, in case you're after that version. To accompany this, we ordered a vegetable and salt pork rice, as well as two soups. The first was made from salty soy milk and came with chunks of Chinese donut. The second was tofu noodles, shrimp, some leafy vegetables, and mushrooms, in a clear broth. Both are worth it, but I'd give the edge to the first as my preferred option. Finally, we got some fried pork buns to top it all off. These are not quite as juicy as some of the others we have had before. If you're craving them, these will scratch that itch, but you don't need to get this otherwise. In summary, my top recommendations are the Chinese donut soup and the pork knuckle. And if you are planning to get rice, go for the salt pork one. As far as other aspects go, there are two reasonably clean bathrooms towards the back, as well as plenty of parking. Service is a little below that of a typical Chinese place (which isn't that high to begin with). You'll need to attract someone's attention if you need anything. But the food is good enough to earn a solid five stars on its own. read more
The smell of the place kinda threw me off? Kinda musty? But the food was good! We had the pan fried pork buns (wasn't able to locate it on the printed menu but just ordered it verbally through the server). Hubby ordered Shanghai style chow mien and pea sprouts as well and they were both good! The chow mien and sprouts were a bit salty but flavorful! The pan fried buns/shen jian bao were great! Thin skin, crispy, juicy and served with piping hot with vinegar. Would get food from here again but probably to go... $40 for two for a yummy brunch! Service was nice for an Asian place too. read more

FLAVOR (5/5): Ordered takeout with their #2 meal set with an added order of their tofu. Came with a soup which we selected the west lake beef soup and a service container of white rice. Enough food for 4 people! Everything was delicious and super authentic. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (2/5): It's a mom and pop Chinese restaurant that isn't focused on the presentation/ decoration of the business. SERVICE (4/5): We ordered takeout through the phone, don't be scared if you don't speak Chinese but want to order! They took our orders in English and answered all our questions. We even asked to pickup at a later time which they accommodate for. TAKEAWAYS: Please support local small businesses during this pandemic. They have a great deal for the meal sets, despite it being pre selected for the most part -- everything tasted great! read more
Shanghai Delight is indeed a delight. Located in the massive shopping center that is the Milpitas 99 Ranch off Barber Lane, it sits in a center that has a seemingly endless amount of places to eat from. All the way on one side of this long shopping center. If you're standing by Mayflower, you're on the wrong side of the shopping center, and need to head to the other direction to find Shanghai Delight. Think of 99 Ranch as the divider for each half. From the outside, it really doesn't look like much. Similar to most of the other restaurants abound, lots of menu items plastered all over the windows, and when you get inside, it's really not much to look at again as it has a very old Chinatown restaurant look to it. Doesn't seem like anything inside has been remodeled here for several years now, but looks can be deceiving, and here, that is certainly the case. Pricing wise, they aren't cheap, but for their lunch specials, it's actually quite a good bang for your buck as the dishes you get with your rice and soup appear to be the standard portions if you order it separately as an entree, so makes it well worth the price for the amount you get. Food aspect of everything, also not bad as well. The soup was meh, as it's free anyways as a part of the lunch special, but the fish and the pork dish were well done. They also have to have soup dumplings too for a Shanghai place. The fish was well cooked, and the seasoning and everything to it was on the blander side for me, but still tasty nonetheless. The pork belly dish was tasty, but probably went a bit too heavy on the saucing, as it was just drenched in that darker sauce they use for the dish. It's a bit spicy too, so just be aware, but hey, it was tasty. The soup dumplings here are quite comparable to some of the better ones I've had at other restaurants. Nothing is worse for a soup dumpling than not having enough juices on the inside of it when you bite into it. The ones here at Shanghai Delight does not have such a problem with theirs. The service is decent. Nothing out of the ordinary, but they are friendly and helpful. You would not really come here for the atmosphere, unless you really wanted that feel of a very downscale type of feel. However, the food here is solid, and the price isn't too bad compared to all of the many food locations at this shopping center. Decor aside, Shanghai Delight is worth a visit for those who wants some flavorful dishes, and of course, some nice soup dumplings done well. read more
This is a good location in Milpitas to try Shanghainese dishes. I have not had much of Shanghai food for a while and this place does have some good dishes. We got the spicy fish fillet broth, Xiao Long Bao, stir fried vegetables and stir fry prawn. All the dishes were pretty good and had a lot of flavor. The service was fast. I would definitely go back to try other dishes. read more

Shanghai Style Bean Curd - Cold, savory and sweet flavors. I have to get this every time I eat here. Shanghai Style Chow-Mein - Nice, slightly more chewy texture that feels satisfying. Shanghai Style Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs - Sauciness was totally overdone but still good. Scrambled Egg with Shrimp and Yellow Chives - Fluffy, slightly salted, and filling. Loved it! Next time try: - Sponge Gourd with mushroom and egg soup - Water bamboo with green bell peppers, shredded pork, and peas - Eggplant in garlic sauce - - Stir fried sponge gourd with chinese doughnut, - Sauteed Salted veggie with bean curd and peas - Crabmeat with tofu - Braised water bamboo - Griddle cooked cauliflower - Griddle cooked tea tree mushroom - Homemade tofu pot - Mix mushrooms with oyster sauce - All the vegetable dishes - Dim sum items read more

This place is wonderful! We came here 3 times in the last few months. The food is always fresh and delicious. We love the duck soup especially and will come here just for the soup! Other foods are good too and we have a bunch of favorites. Please make sure to check out the pictures on the wall and you can order the ones that look good to you. The service is also great. We got seated right way and the waitress/waiter were always friendly and courteous. read more

Consistently delicious. I've been coming here off and on for about 20 years. It never disappoints. Get the Shanghai veggie and ham fried rice, and the Shanghai fish fillets - they add up to $31, a bargain nowadays. read more
While I knew that Fremont Shanghainese restaurants would have better quality, I wanted to give the Milpitas shops a chance. Soup dumplings lacked soup. Noodles and appetizer is fine. They seem to be popular during the weekday lunch rush. I would recommend this location for the affordable prices and convenience if you work nearby. read more
The dumpling soup was delicious I wanted more but I had to finish everything else. The XLB didn't taste as good as others I had but it was decent and lacked some soupy goodness. The spicy chicken was yummy and I could eat more of that also. The vegetables were sautéed with garlic and oil gave it a nice taste. The restaurant wasn't as crowded when I went but as I stayed there people started to arrive. Nice quick bite to start your day. The staff here is friendly and service was good. Next door is a great tea shop named Yifang for dessert and caffeine after your meal. read more
I have always passed by establishments that serve Chinese food but always have signs and posters in chinese. I have no way of understanding what it meant and would rather pass it as a choice for family lunch simply because I didint want to embarrass myself by ordering something I don't know. Thankfully a HongKong-nese friend of mine suggested we go here and had her order food for us...except for the Chef's special pumpkin with salted egg that she read from the sign in front..that's what I specifically wanted. The food we got: Pumpkin with salted egg yolk - golden crispy fried and dusted generously with the egg yolk. It was piping hot when it came out and was greasy but sooo delish! Suggested to eat immediately but learn to blow on your food before putting in, unless you want to enjoy it with burnt mouth. Shanghai noodles - large rounded noodles that are seasoned with soy and oil. Garnished with bokchoy. Really chewy (al dente?) but enjoyable. I was told that this noodle had to be cooked with oil or it would stick together. Love the texture. A little bland but told that this is authentic. Rice cake with preserved veggies - Wow! you should order this. It is chewy good and flavorful. They preserved veggies complement the dish and I love it. Surprise yourself by ordering this and you wont be sorry. read more
