Shanghai Café

My family has gone here for over 25 years. It is our favorite Chinese restaurant & where we go for special occasions! I love the taste of everything I've ever ordered but usually end up getting my favorite dishes, all vegetarian with soy 'chicken'. They also offer meat dishes, so any meat eaters can get what they want as well. When I'm buying, everyone eats veggie, but my meat-eating kids don't mind because they love the soy 'meat'! My favorites (all soy chicken) Moo Goo Gai Pan, Mu Shu Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken. Also veggie Won Ton Soup & Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls. My kids also like the Hot & Sour Soup, & the beef & seafood dishes. Vegetarian options: There is a complete separate vegetarian menu as well as a separate meat menu. A lot of variety to choose from. This is the only place I've ever found that does a perfect vegetarian Sweet & Sour Chicken!

The food is cheap by current standards, but they seem to be cutting corners on quality. The pho was the worst; some of the ingredients that come on the side had mold on them (!!!) and the broth just didn't taste good either. This place has been here forever but at best it's just "generic mediocre chinese" - and these days there are better options in Salt Lake. It's just not worth going here currently.

I can't speak for every dish but I had the sweet and sour chicken and it was only OK. I have had much better. It came with a vegetable roll which was overcooked and not enjoyable at all. Even the fried rice was only marginal.

Some friends and I along with my son were invited to have a really nice dinner! Very healthy plates we ordered... It was just great

Wasn't expecting a lot at first, it looks like a simple place from the outside but is actually beautifully decorated on the inside. There is a mix of Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese food here, which surprised me; the options are endless! We ordered the Vietnamese curry and Hong Kong Style Beef which came with broccoli and rice, both were delicious!! Service was very friendly and refilled our waters without us asking. Would recommend to anyone who wants some relatively decent-priced food in Salt Lake!!

This is the best pho broth I’ve had in SLC. Downsides- no tendon or tripe, but the broth is on point and one of the best bowls I’ve had. (I am from Houston and have eaten a lot of bowls of pho.) No photo bc I ate it too fast and there was nothing to take a picture of

Food was outstanding. Very friendly staff! A great value!

Best wontons in the world. Best Pan Thai too. *EDITED* I love this place, the best food around. Try the walnut shrimp gonna miss this place, as me and my wife leave next month to head to another state, (she a travel nurse) wish only the best for this wonderful restaurant. ❤️⚕️

I travel a lot for work and I usually struggle to find a good place to eat, when I say I was left speechless I mean it! Food and service were phenomenal! I would come back here and make it my go-to spot anytime I am in town.
