Fast, delicious, and friendly! So cozy and huge portions. Love that they give you tea.

I ordered from here this Christmas eve and last, since Chinese food is my traditional meal! Overall, the food is pretty good. They win over some other places because I love egg fu young. Everything was ready and waiting, and piping hot, at the appointed pick up time. They were busy fielding calls, pickups, and dine-in, but got to me very quickly. The veg egg foo young is exactly what you expect and very tasty. The small is 2 patties. The yu shin vegetable was new to me this year, and will be added to the order going forward. It was medium spicy and flavorful, with all the veggies I'd hoped for (broccoli, peapods, baby corn, mushrooms, red and green pepper, and water chestnuts). The tofu curry was a little underwhelming. It could have used a little oomph. The only disappointment was the vegetable fried rice, which had a ton of broccoli and a couple bits of green pepper and... that was it. Not a morsel of onion or a bit of baby corn, and no egg! I threw it in a pan and cooked in an egg, but it was not as good as what I'd had before. Overall, good and will still be my go-to for Chinese food.

Dined at Shanghai inn for the first time last night! The dinner portions are SO big and delicious! Shared crab rangoons, egg rolls, Cantonese chow mein, and garlic chicken with my friend. About $40 for all 4 items which is a steal! It was so tasty and we both had lots to take home. Would highly recommend everything I ordered, but could pass on the egg rolls next time. Was too busy eating didn't take pics of everything. Service was friendly and quick. Ambiance is old school booth seating and cozy. Also want to mention the hot tea was so good and didn't just taste like hot water. Food came out quickly! Will definitely be back!

No notes- great service, great bang for your buck, good vibes, amazing lunch special. I love this gem of a find in ravenswood

Shanghai inn really is a blast from the past. The quality was really good. The best dish was the shrimp fried rice! I would highly recommend that dish! The waiter was always checking in which was great! The ambiance was like the 90's and how family style places were like. I will highly recommend Shanghai inn!

Shanghai Inn is by far our favorite Chinese spot in the city. The food and service never disappoint. We got the Pineapple Chicken(our new favorite), the Mongolian Trio, Veggie Lo Mein and Crab Rangoon's with hot tea for under $60. Since it was just 2 of us, we had plenty of leftovers for the next day given how big of portions these are! If you want really good Chinese for a great value, this is the spot to go.

Came again for the lunch special. Mongolian Beef was good but a bit too salty. Orange Chicken was delicious. The fried rice was better than usual, as was the egg drop soup.

I have walked past Shanghai Inn quite a few times and my friend and I decided to give it a try. We ordered takeout online and were impressed by the fair prices and variety on the menu. We decided to pick up our order since the restaurant is close. We also noticed there was plenty of paid street parking available if you are driving. There was not a long wait time between placing our order and picking it up. The staff were also very friendly when we got our food. It was ready when promised! The restaurant seemed clean and welcoming if you were dining in. One impressive thing about this food is that it stayed HOT (temperature, not spice!) in these takeout boxes. Almost 45 minutes later the food in the middle of the containers was still very warm. As for the taste, it was pretty good except for the vegetable egg rolls. The egg rolls were lackluster and the slaw looked like it had seen better days. Overall, we thought the food could have had more flavor. I will definitely keep Shanghai Inn in my rotation of local Chinese food!
