    The food was delicious and every dish we ordered was flavorful and well prepared. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the service was attentive throughout the meal. The prices are a bit on the expensive side, but the quality of the food makes it worth it for a special meal. Definitely a solid spot for Shanghai-style cuisine and we'll be coming back again!

    We had dinner here and ordered some of our favorite Shanghainese cuisine. I was especially impressed with the lions head made with salted egg inside. The meatball itself was extremely tender and the salted egg just added so much umami flavor to it! We also had the kung pai chicken though I was expecting less brown sauce as true Shanghainese kung pao would have it. All was very tasty and would definitely go back again.

    Joined a relative for dinner, He says it's literally the taste of Shanghai. I'll admit the taste is very good, all the dishes that were brought out were good except the water celery / water dropwort. It had some kind of vinegar or wine taste to it. My partner said taste like stringy mud. Today's not too busy, the service was excellent. I feel like they paid a lot of attention to us because they had the extra staff floating around (amazing by the way) it made us feel like VIPs We sat in the main hall, looks like there are private rooms available. The main dining area is well lit, Shanghai industrial era decor and some led screens. This place seems like a nice place for a small banquet.

    Shanghailander Palace is a wonderful Chinese restaurant in Arcadia. I came here on a Friday evening and they were in full service. I tried several of their dishes, and they were all delicious. Some standouts were the drunken chicken, fried battered fish, and "lion head" meatballs with soup. Docking one point off because the staff, although responsive and diligent, was quite defensive when my party pointed out that the vegetable rice took forever to come out and we wanted to order another dish while wait for the rice. By the time all the dishes were eaten, the rice hadn't come out yet still. The interior looked nice! There was a big TV screen inside. It made me fee as if I was transported to Asia. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and I'd come back!

    Came here first for a holiday work dinner...and it was so good I had to bring the family for Lunar New Year. Also~ if it's good enough for President Obama, it's good enough for us. Highlights: the steamed fish and house special short rib were . And the smoked fish cold appetizer? Straight up tasted like bacon decided to become a fish . Only misses were they forgot to bring one of our dishes because it was slammed for LNY, and the Shanghai soup dumplings had no soup. Like...where did it go? That's the whole point. Kids enjoyed the yogurt drink and adults found the red bean rice ball in wine soup a pleasant dessert. Overall, Shanghainese food leans a little on the sweet side.

    The Food: High Marks for U.S. Standards For those who have dined in Shanghai, the food here is "Overall OK"--meaning it hits the traditional notes without necessarily reinventing the wheel. However, by U.S. standards, it is easily in the top 5% of Chinese dining. The Classics: The Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) have thin, delicate skins and a rich broth, and their Braised Pork Belly (Hong Shao Rou) is decadent and appropriately sweet. Consistency: The kitchen is remarkably consistent. Whether you're ordering the sautéed river shrimp or the crispy eel, the execution is disciplined and clean. Ambiance & Service: Built for Meetings The 5/5 Ambiance is what truly sets Shanghailander Palace apart from the crowded, bustling noodle shops nearby. Professional Setting: The interior is spacious, elegant, and relatively quiet. It provides the kind of "face" (mianzi) you want when hosting a business meeting or an important family dinner. Flawless Service: The staff is attentive, professional, and well-trained in the pacing of a formal meal. You won't feel rushed, making it the ideal spot for long conversations. The Value Proposition Like many high-end spots in Arcadia, the Value (3/5) is where the experience loses a bit of steam. You are paying a premium for the white tablecloths, the prime location, and the quiet atmosphere. While the food is great, the portion-to-price ratio leans toward the "expensive" side for the area. Final Verdict Shanghailander Palace is the place you go when the environment matters as much as the dumplings. It is the perfect "safe bet" for impressing guests or conducting a meeting over high-quality, authentic Shanghai fare. Just be prepared for a bill that reflects the upscale surroundings.

    Shanghai Style Braised Pork in Brown Sauce
    James Y.

    This Shanghai-Style Chinese restaurant is great for group dinners! All of their food was delicious and nicely portioned and their servers were really attentive. We ordered the following: Shanghai Style Braised Pork in Brown Sauce (highly recommend) Chicken with Black Truffle (highly recommend) Fish Fillet with Seaweed (highly recommend) Black Pepper Steak Cubes Dry Fried String Bean Light Fried Water Spinach (Garlic) Braised Meat Ball with Crab Roe Shanghai Style Pan Fried Noodle Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant in Pot Dry Pot Cauliflower Smoked Bacon Shanghailander Pan Fried Buns Bonus: I called ahead to reserve a private room for my party and they initially asked for a minimum so I declined and said I was okay with us sitting in the public area; however, when I showed up, they gave us the private room anyways and didn't hold us to spending the minimum.

    We had an excellent experience for a major family celebration event in the back room with 2 tables. The setting was elegant, the service was prompt and courteous, and the food was excellent. They don't have a banquet menu, and our host ordered 8 appetizers, as you can see from my pictures, each was elegantly presented. The main dishes were also very delicious and beautifully served. I had many more pictures of delicious dishes that is over Yelp's quota. Overall, an excellent high end Shanghai restaurant that is highly recommended.

    Restaurant is large and spacious. Decor is clean and modern. Staff was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the Shanghai style braised pork in brown sauce (tender, flavorful, perfect texture, best eaten with rice), old Shanghai stewed duck in soy sauce (great flavor), sweet lotus with osmanthus (very nice dessert), and shanghailander pan fried buns (good). TLDR: Excellent service, great food, excellent establishment, great value. Would recommend!

    Shanhailander Palace takes over the most authentic Shanghai restaurant in the SGV after Jiangnan Spring closed. Located on Baldwin in Arcadia the space is quite big with a large main dining room and private dining rooms in the back. The food is excellent with many traditional Shanghai dishes. We had a big gathering of friends and school mates with two large tables. Our group came early and closed the place at 10 pm. The service staff was excellent and accommodating. During the dinner we kept on running into friends that were also dining there. The only gripe for the evening was the pace of the meal. All the dishes came out at the same time, so much so it was hard to fit all of them on the serving turn. They have their own large private lot but when the restaurant fills up so does the parking.

    907. Shanghai Salted Mixed Rice
    Lucy W.

    If you like strong, food on the saltier flavorful side, then these dishes I had here are the ones for you! -fish fillet with seaweed (it's fried and crispy on the outside but delicious more light on the inside fresh) 10/10 -yellow chives eel (this dish is amazing if you like eel!!! Super flavorful!! Savory and pairs so well with white rice so order one!) 9/10 -pan fried buns (these were obviously not going to compare to the ones in SHANGHAI , but 7/10) -dry fried string bean (good) 8/10 -pickled radish (SO GOOD!!! A Shanghai classic appetizer Highly recommend if you like sweet and crunchy pickled stuff) 20/10 -shaoxin wined chicken (juicy chicken in cooking wine salty and delicious) 9/10 -Shanghai salted mixed rice ( I prefer Shanghai rice cakes more but this 2nd popular Shanghai carb dish, I give this 7/10) Honestly this place is good! The service is like those at quick fast paced restaurants... but overall the food is yummy! Clean and spacious Restaurant, medium noise level, some Shanghai decor for you to take photos and lots of famous people that came to the restaurant in the past is shown on walls. OVERALL I GIVE THIS PLACE 8.5 /10 !! :D Follow me for more foodie adventures Xoxo LIVING WITH LUCI

    Family's favorite local Shanghainese food place right now! Thrilled also that we no longer need to drive to Hacienda Heights to enjoy the same deliciousness. The dishes are meticulously prepared and presented. Some of our favorite go to dishes are their fish filet with seaweed, three flavor with shredded dry bean curd, meatball with duck egg yolk, wine fish, braised black cod, to name a few. The only reason why this isn't a 5-star rating is the service, more specifically the male servers who work at this place. The female servers here are incredibly kind, attentive and hard working, and we appreciate them so much. The male servers are the complete opposite. They will insist that you didn't order a dish when they forgot to write it down, consistently forget to refill your hot tea even after the fifth time you've asked them, and basically ignore you until you ask for the check.

    Braised pork belly hong shao rou
    Chris K.

    My first time dining here was two years ago, and I had a very pleasant experience. Yesterday I came back for the second time with my big family, a group of 14 people. It was a very special occasion for all of us. The food was delightful, and the table presentation was truly magnificent. Based on the fine china they're using, Shanghailander Palace isn't your average Chinese restaurants. We ordered the same 9 dishes per table. What really stood out for me is the Shanghai Style Pork Spare Ribs. Absolutely delightful!! Oh my goodness!! The ribs were well-seasoned with the right amount of sweet and salty, perfectly crunchy and moist! This definitely was the highlight of my dining experience. The other honorable mention are the fish soup which tastes a lot like fancy hot and sour soup, the famous braised pork belly Hong Shao Rou, and mixed salty rice. Since I don't eat beef or lamb, I won't comment on these two dishes. The shrimps were just okay, nothing to brag about. Supposedly, they were cooked in tea which sounded very interesting! Taste-wise they fell short as the shrimps were tiny and mildly flavored. I don't see what the big fuss is all about. I don't blame the restaurant, but I blame my auntie for ordering this dish. Lol For dessert we had sweet glutinous rice filled with black sesame in fermented rice soup. It was very nice! The overall service was decent. We had a teapot of hot water, a kettle of hot tea, and a pitcher of iced water on our table. Food arrivals were perfectly timed, starting with the soup first and then came the rest, back to back. The staff was there doing their job, and I really appreciate their hard work. It's very likely that I'll come back just to order take-out of the Shanghai style spare ribs.

Staff are really nice and on top of it. A clean establishment and this Yelper definitely gives it 2 thumbs up.   Tips: Indoor seating only. Accepts credit card. Restroom available for customers. Ask for the sweet chili oil. That's the best, that they keep in a cold fridge. Made fresh and is a great addition to your dishes. Parking is shared with other local businesses i.e. Vons, subway, Yifang, etc.

The beef noodle soup was also flavorful and they give a good amount of tender beef pieces. The beef roll was just okay. The dough could've been a bit thicker and crunchier. It had the texture of a tortilla instead. Service was excellent! The server was quick and attentive. We received our food within 10 minutes of ordering. There is plenty of seating inside and parking is in a shared lot with other businesses. Would come back and would also recommend!

To eat, we ordered the Stewed Duck Soup Noodle ($13.99), Shanghai Style Sweet And Sour Spare Rib ($16.99), and the Crab Meat With Dry Noodle ($14.99). Each dish was satisfying. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the Stewed Duck Soup Noodle. The Crab Meat With Dry Noodle (one of my favorite dishes I tried in Shanghai) was admittedly a bit of a letdown.

It didnt have enough pepper too it and it was sweeter. I looked at the menu and it said honey pepper. So makes sense why it was sweet. The garlic pieces were good. Some were still half raw so it was extra spicy. I thought the sweet and sour pork would be the same sauce as the fish but its different. Ot was more of a savory sweet sauce. I guess thats why its a shanghai version. Not sure if they sell the other one anymore that ive seen pictures of.

I enjoy intestines and wanted to try this dish. The owner suggested I have it with vinegar which I tried and after eating maybe a quarter of the dish I felt nauseous from the vinegar. The vinegar does enhance the dish but at the same time you can only have so much of it without feeling queasy. I would rate this place 3.5 rounded up to 4. Food wise I thought this place was just okay. But I really enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and might come back again in the future to try new dishes.

    Best place for XLB!…read more Been coming here for years. There are lots of competitions in the area but this one survived with great food, good service and clean and nice restaurants. A lot of none Asian clientele but don't let that fool you. They serve very authentic food!

    Was craving dumplings during the cold weather and decided to give a local place a try! I came here…read moreon a Thursday night at around 6:30pm. I had called 20 minutes before and let them know what I wanted to order via dish name. Parking is available in the back lot but there's very limited spots available due to other businesses being really busy. The store is pretty small since they try putting as many tables as they can. When you walk in, you have to squeeze past the tables to walk to the counter to pick up your order. It felt really awkward since I had to walk in between two tables while they were eating. When I talked to the server, I asked her if she accepted Apple Pay and she said yes. I tapped my AMEX card and it went through but made a weird sound as if it denied. I asked her if she accepted AMEX afterwards and she said no but it already went through. Not sure what that meant... I signed my receipt, grabbed my food, said thank you and nothing back. Food: I got take-out so the food might vary compared to dining in. My family and I did try and eat it as fast as we could. It took 10 minutes to drive home and another 10 to actually eat the food. We ordered the home style chow mein, beef roll pancake, hand made pancake, and pan fried pork dumplings. Home style chow mein (7/10): When we opened the box, the steam was still pouring through. I thought that this one was decent. We did order this one to be cooked with less oil so it might've dried the noodles a little more when it was being cooked. There were lots of different veggies in this dish. I think the protein in here was pork, I'm not too sure. I thought that there was good amount of flavor! Beef Roll Pancake (7/10) : I love beef roll pancakes and will order one if a restaurant offers it. However, this one sort of fell flat for me. There was hardly any beef rolled into the pancake. It comes with 2 big rolls that are cut into 3 so in total you get 6 rolls. The skin was chewy and the sweetness from the hoisin sauce came through with each bite. Some people steer clear of this because of the cilantro but the flavor didn't really overpower the dish. Pan Fried Pork Dumplings (7/10): Of course you need to get dumplings at a dumpling house. I thought that this dish was a tad bit too oily. The dumpling skin was soft and the filling was packed. I do wish that the "pan fried" part was a little more crunchy but it could be soggy because I got to-go and couldn't eat it right away. It comes with 8 pieces which was plenty since we got other dishes. Hand made pancake (6/10): This one is so unique! If you can imagine it, it's like a circle with swirls and the swirls are pulled apart from each other. This dish is so easy to share with other people since you can just rip it apart in strands. I do wish that this one was a little more salted.
