    dynasty fish with pine nuts
    Adam Y.

    One of the few places that never disappointed was Shanghai Kitchen in Greenwood Village. Time truly flied, cannot believe it has been here for almost 30 years. Liked its old Shanghai scene decor, the authenticity of its dishes and story of Chef Zhou's culinary journey. Here were some of the dishes ordered during a recent trip there, including dynasty fish with pine nuts, pork meatballs, salt and pepper shrimps, smoked fish, vegetable triple delight and Shanghai braised bean curd, as well as Chef Zhou's new braised pork belly with pickled vegetable buns. For people who like noodle soup, the pork meatball and pickled vegetable noodle soup was also quite tasty.

    Pork Fried Dumplings

    It's nice to have a go-to restaurant in your direct vicinity and I must say that this Chinese restaurant is one of them (although I don't utilize it enough.) A few days ago, a little past 9pm (on Christmas Eve to be exact), on my way to go to a friend's house, I stopped here to get me a few items. There was one group of people (the last diner of the night) that was finishing off their late night meal. Other than that, I appeared to be the last customer for the night. The lady that greeted me asked me if it was for a dine in or to-go (wonder if she would have accepted me had I said dine in? Not sure.) I immediately responded, "To-go, please." Like I stated earlier I only wanted a few items (a few sides.) I got me the pork dumplings and the veggies egg rolls. The lady said it'd be 5 min. While waiting, I looked around the dining room and took a few photos. Nicely dimmed lights, each dining table was neatly arranged/set. Very clean and inviting. I like the bright red napkins. This restaurant appears to have received several accolades in the past (there are frames magazine articles on one of the walls.) As promised, it was about 5 minutes before my food was ready. A different lady gave me a bag that contained my food with a nice smile. Service is good here. I didn't eat the food until next day. Sometimes there is a huge difference between eating it fresh or a day old so I'll be fair with this review based on the fact that I ate it when the food was half day old. Overall, both of them were good. To be frank, when it comes to dumplings or potstickers, I prefer them to be pan-fried to be deep fried. I wonder if they ever make them pan-fried or even steamed. This will be a little request I'll be sure to make upon my next visit for sure. The veggie egg rolls were a bit small for the price. Tasted good however. I really need to try their main dishes in the future. Then I'll be able to elaborate more on their food in a real sense. Until then my hon/frank rating shall be 3-stat.

    Family in town so we stopped by for dinner on a weeknight and it was packed. Everything we tried was good- garlic shrimp, eggplant w pork, sweet pork ribs, and salt and pepper fried fish. Next time will try the more authentic Shanghainese dishes. Service was quick and served family style.

    Szechuan Triple Delight
    AJ K.

    Shanghai Kitchen serves up some extremely delicious food, especially if you like Szechuan style food. The Szechuan style green beans are a must try. Their flavor will be what brings you back to Shanghai Kitchen over and over. I have tried many of the dishes in the menu and can highly recommend the Szechuan Style Triple Delight and the Orange Chicken. The service is always attentive and the restaurant itself is comfortable offering booth and table seating. I would suggest dining in as the times we have ordered food for take out have been underwhelming.

    While waiting for our to-go order, we munched on Xiao Long Bao (XLB), because, it would be sacrilege to not eat XLB hot and fresh out of the steamer! My mom, a true Shanghainese, said Shanghai Kitchen's XLB is pretty authentic. She especially liked that the meat filling wasn't too fatty. That's not to say the bun didn't contain enough soup, though. I thought it tasted great. My tongue is still burning a couple of days later from eating it while it's piping hot, but it's worth it! Our to-go foods stayed warm thanks to the meticulous packaging (they would tape down lids to make sure nothing leaks!) The Lion's Heads meatballs are impressing, bigger than my fists! So don't be stingy, share with someone so you both have room to try more stuff! We adored that night's special dish: ginger and scallion crabs stir fried with rice cakes, so so yummy and filling. The portion was huge and you would think there would be more rice cakes than crabs (as the former is cheaper) but Shanghai Kitchen is way more generous with their crabs! The sweet and sour fish steaks were more Americanized than Chinese, it's not bad, but next time I'm ready to dine in, I'll order the whole fish in sweet and sour sauce. I'm sure it'll be way better!

    I honestly didn't know what to expect when it comes to Shanghai food in Denver area - not many restaurants have been able to do SH food justice imho. I'm impressed by this place! They have some ver decent and authentic /staple / traditional shanghainese dishes here! Just need some prerequisite SH food knowledge to know what to order!

We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.

We did consider coming back here recently for our friend's birthday but apparently if you try to make a reservation for over 6 people you have to PAY per person - that's a little ludicrous. I understand a party of 50 and charging some fee, but to charge for a small party is a way to not get party business. I would likely come back here as it is a nice central location and has a nice patio though.

    Plenty of options for everyone!…read more Street parking so definitely read the signs. I went here for Denver Restaurant week with my family so we did make a reservation ahead of time. The dress code I say would be casual since we went for Denver restaurant week. There was a prefix menu so we did not get to choose off the full menu. I chose the steak with broccolini and mashed potatoes. My dessert was crème brûlée and my appetizer was a soup. The servers were very friendly and were able to seat us immediately. Because it was Restaurant week we did not need that much time to look over the menu. The food was than brought out course by course starting with the appetizers. I do not like salad so I chose the soup of the day. It happened to be a tortilla soup. I decided to give that to my dad who really enjoyed it. He said the flavors were really good. Next way, the entrées and I liked my steak! It was seasoned really well, the potatoes were great and the broccoli was good. To be honest, nothing really stood out about it. It was just a normal steak and potato meal in my opinion. When for dessert was the crème brûlée! I absolutely love crème brûlée and this one lived up to its expectations. To be honest, this was the best part of the meal. For this restaurant, it was $45 for these three courses. I definitely did not get my moneys worth as I would've not ordered a few things but overall it was nice to get to try everything.

FOOD Overall good food, if a little odd. The baked gnocchi and cherry tomatoes in a pesto sauce turned out to be a lot soupier than I expected. My son's pork was well-received. The house-specialty flatbread we had for the table was good. Desserts are served in, effectively, shot glasses. I don't know that it means the portions were any smaller than on a plate, and it made it convenient for the waiter to bring out a display carrier, but it was still a bit odd. One thing that struck me was that everything -- from the flatbread, to the Caesar salad, to the gnocchi, to the dessert, was just a bit sweeter than I was expecting. Not offputtingly so, but a little surprising. SERVICE Service was reasonably good, and our waiter generally showed up when we needed them. I had a dirty knife (promptly replaced with a full utensil kit). ATMOSPHERE The place is just plain noisy. At a booth for four, we had problems with conversation, and in hearing the waiter. Part of this is because they have about a half-dozen too many tables squeezed into the main dining area, among other things guaranteeing you'll brush or bump into chairs on your way to your table, even on the perimeter. One the one hand, it's a good sign that they're doing good business in pulling in a lot of customers; on the other hand, it contributes to making it not a good place for an intimate date. NET-NET We've eaten here before, with similar noise and crowd issues (the holidays are especially challenging). I wouldn't object to be invited by someone to dine here again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make reservations here myself.

It was plenty of food and 2 of us brought home leftovers from our entrees.

I think the flavors are pretty standard for something that's "upscale," with brussel sprout shavings, pear slices, and other things to spice up the texture/flavors.

The prosciutto balanced pretty well with the fig jam and fit perfectly in a bite while on the flatbread. It's a very cute establishment with fairy lights around, but all of the waiters we encountered were awkward in their own way. Our first guy would awkwardly bumble around us and get very close to refill our waters, and the second guy took away one of our plates without asking if we were done and the person was still clearly finishing off her food. Overall, not bad, but service could be slightly improved.
