It is one of those pricier chinese restaurant with average charge 15.00 per item. The entrees are served with a side of rice so that could account for the higher price. I had to ask for Chinese mustard. Usually condiments such as soy sauces, duck sauce or mustard are provided with the meal. had the chicken and broccoli with brown rice. There was carpet and shades to absorb the noise. The bar and restaurant were separated by a divider. It was good. I would return. read more

CK Shanghai - Chicken with Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

This is my usual order to go restaurant. Food quality is usually good and still warm to eat when we traveled another half hour to arrive at our destination. Pork lo mein , Shanghai house special fried rice, mar po tofu, and won ton soup are my usual take outs. read more

Often when I order dishes with extra this or extra that....I don't often get what I ask for. Well tonight, I asked for extra ginger scallions and garlic. And tonight they delivered! This place is fantastic! read more

My family a party of six ate here last night for New Years Eve. I usually rely on Yelp ratings for restaurants but after eating here I was surprised to see this was only a 3.5. Our food was fresh, well prepared and tasty. Everyone enjoy their meals. Will definitely be back! read more

Placed an order for pick up- restaurant looked nice- very excited for the food as Chinese food in metro west is mediocre at best. Unfortunately this just wasn't good. My family eats the basics: chicken fingers, peking ravioli, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and general gaus chicken...Peking ravioli seemed undercooked, and general gaus was over fried and drowning in liquid. The sweet and sour had no sweet, not red enough.. I don't understand why all these restaurants over fry everything- I don't need my food in 10 min. Chicken should be easy to make. Overall, the meal was $82 and just not worth it.. I am still on my quest for good chinese food. read more

This is our family's favorite Chinese restaurant in the Metrowest area - we love it. The chicken with broccoli includes all white chicken breast meat and perfectly steamed broccoli, the Peking ravioli isn't too doughy and tastes terrific, and the take-out orders are consistently warm, fresh, and delicious. read more

Solid Chinese restaurant. They are open on Christmas Eve which is very nice. If you do order that day make sure to call in pretty early. Huge menu, lots of great options. Restaurant is nice on the inside but I have only had takeout here. read more

I love this place! Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. It's consistently good, especially the hot and sour soup, udon noodles, and chicken with broccoli. The staff are very friendly and it's a nice environment! Give it a try! read more

Wondrous decor when you step in. We ordered the beef pancake along with the Curry thin noodles with chicken. All came out relatively quick. The noodles had a great kick to it but manageable. In taste. The beef roll wrap dough corners were slightly hard but had good flavors and textures. read more

I stopped by today for a luncheon special as I have often in the past only to learn that the restaurant is no longer offering luncheon specials on the menu. read more

I stopped in for lunch as single diner . Maybe new owners here? Ad didn't recognize prior people? Waiter sits me over in corner in back table with no linens while other patrons entering seated at window view or any tables adorned with linens? Why as single diner with less of a potential tip... he was right... I didn't appreciate this treatment , tip better if treated like all patrons. Ordered lunch special... now comes no longer with soup or appetizer. Says 3.00 extra for soup, 3.00 extra for appetizer, no hot tea? I ordered the trio in black sauce of chicken, beef, shrimp... was fresh , fried rice fresh.. shrimp miniature like from a supermarket shrimp can you buy next to the tuna fish cans ??? Then 2 dinky chicken wings 1/2 wings ... see these in picture... that calculation is 1.50 for each dinky wing... That sent me off deep end... won't be back.... I'll eat next door at Jin's where I eat as well or The Great Wok up the street... I started going to Jin's next after last visit here, figured I would try this place again... now add on for soup, 2 1/2 wings another 3 bucks... now a 30 bucks lunch... out pricing lunch people. Better value at Jin's Or skip the add ons read more

I want to address some of the negative reviews here. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. I recognize that it is not "authentic Chinese," but neither am I. The food is always fresh and delicious. I am reading complaints in the reviews about decreasing portion size but seriously folks, have you been to a restaurant lately? Prices of food and labor are up, and a burger costs $30 at the local bar, so let's get real. I recommend the Walnut Shrimp, Chicken with ginger and garlic, fried vegetarian dumplings, buddah's delight, and Moo Shi Vegetables. My family has been eating here for 20 years and it is good as ever, and no, the management has not changed. read more

This place has really deteriorated. I placed an order recently and none of the dishes were prepared the same as they once were. The menu reads the same - - but the preparation is completely different. The food did not seem fresh at all. The chicken dish contained soggy vegetables and seemed as if it was reheated from days before! The pork in the pork fried rice consisted of bright red pieces of pork fat. The food was far from fresh. I heard this place was sold so that could be why it's gone so downhill. It's just not the same, at all I wish I were kidding. We Have been coming in here for almost 2 decades - - we will never be back! read more

It's been a few years since my first review of CK Shanghai. They are still excellent and our goto Chinese place. The food and service are great. The kitchen has been consistently excellent. They have done a great job with takeout for us but I prefer to eat in so I don't have to clean up at home... read more

A friend brought lunch yesterday from CK Shanghai and it was delicious: I had beef with broccoli, and he had chicken with broccoli (which looked really good, but he had peanuts added to it so I had to pass). The lunch portions were huge, the sauce was delicious and unlike many places it wasn't heavy and/or greasy... it was just right. He suggested it since it is near his office, and I am looking forward to another meal from there! read more

The waitress are very very rude, every place else gives you soup with a lunch and special and they charge for it. Would not go back or recommend! read more

american chinese food. says shanghai but nothing is shanghai. food didnt taste good. wont go again read more

Service great. Food is great. Recommend you try it. It is consistent. And the best part is they deliver locally!!!

I am writing another review because I'm upset with any negative review. This place is miles above all others. And I keep trying and coming back to ck shanghai. Anyone I bring here is amazed at how delicious it is. Fresh food expertly prepared. The only problem is it isn't closer to my house! read more

Great food and consistent over many years. Honestly i am suspicious of one star reviews, in dozens and dozens of meals (take out and a few dine in) things have never deviated from delicious, attentive, professional. You won't be disappointed. read more

Big disssapointment. Waste of $. It's pretty clear they're more interested in making money and scrimping than caring about the food or customers they serve. Today for the third time, my simple take out request for extra veggies in my shrimtp fried rice was disregarded. When I placed the order, I informed them there has been errors in the past and I would gladly pay the upcharge. In the end I was upcharged $5.00, yet could barely find any carrots and peas in the dish, sans other veggies. Just like cheap mall food. $27.00 for salty, greasy, fried rice and a few shrimp. read more

We got a few dishes to share in our group. The seafood with vegetables and the triple delights were good. They tasted similar with the same brown sauce. We also had the porkchops in a sweet sauce. The fried whole fish was good and a nice presentation. The fish was fried Whole, but it was deboned. So made it easy to eat. It was served with peppers and onions with a ketchup sauce. It was a good, flavorful meal and good service read more

CK Shanghai - Seafood hot plate, Three Delight Sizzling Plate, sweet and sour pork chops, fried whole fish - Chinese Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

Well above average Chinese eatery, that is very consistent and offers prompt, if not friendly, service. Walnut Shrimp, Beef Chow Fun, and Rainbow Calamari are all excellent renditions, and family favorites. On the pricey side. read more

This is what you get for a $32 whole fish from this restaurant. Basically no meat (you will get a huge dish head instead ) and it taste awful. I'm Chinese and this is definitely not a authentic Chinese restaurant. If you don't want to be ripped off and want to try authentic Chinese, please avoid this restaurant. read more

CK Shanghai - Chinese Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

Friends brought takeout from this restaurant- and it was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had!! This coming from someone who a) has worked for years downtown in the Chinatown area and b) generally wouldn't choose Chinese food for a meal out. The flavors were fresh, well spiced, and had some unique combos: yu Hsiang chicken (fabulous with eggplant), loved the Szechuan shrimp, and the cucumber salad was so good I'm hoping to recreate it! We'll definitely be ordering from here again soon. read more

Horrible service and tasteless food. Had a big egg shell in my food. This restaurant clearly doesn't care about its customers. read more

Very disappointed as food was below food court quality. Been thinking about how bad it was for days.

Years ago my husband & I had lunch with friends at New Shanghai in Chinatown - best Chinese food we'd ever had. New Shanghai disappeared a while ago, but I was delighted to discover that one of their chefs had opened this restaurant in Wellesley. Service was extremely prompt and friendly. Atmosphere was classy but comfortable. As others have said - the sesame/peanut noodles are the BEST - not that gloppy oversweet mess you usually get. The Shanghai cucumbers weren't as spicy as I'd hoped, but they worked very well with the noodles. Broccoli with garlic sauce included water chestnuts and red peppers. The sauce was a terrific blend of sweet & spicy. Large portions and reasonable prices. (I do wish they offered lunch specials.) We're eager to try many other items on the extensive menu. read more

Order takeout at 11:30am food tasted stale as though it was leftover from the previous night. Vegetables were soggy and tasted spoiled. Won't eat there again! read more

CK Shanghai has never disappointed. As a resident of Natick, I have to travel a town or two over to find good Chinese food. Some of the more memorable dishes I've had there are their Won Ton soup, Peking Ravioli and chicken with cashew nuts. The service is great as well. read more

This review is long, long overdue. CK Shanghai has been a go-to for me and my family for many years. I've got no problem starting some drama here because I know CK can back it up: CK has the best Chinese food in the area bar none. And not only is their food tasty, their staff is friendly and professional. Even on their busiest day, Christmas Day, CK always comes through. If you're looking for a new "usual" spot look no further. read more

We moved to this neighborhood in August 2018. Since then we've averaged about 1 take-out a month from CKShanghai. There's no doubt the food is consistently delicious. The quality of the food is impeccable. We will continue to frequent this establishment for the foreseeable future. But... Never take out after 9. It seems that at least in two of the 10+ instances, since we left work late and therefore had a late pickup, the food was bland. The kitchen closes around 9 pm and place closes at 9:30 pm on weekdays. The general gao was fried, but barely had any sauce on it. The crab rangoons were underfried. The lo mein was uninspiring. Have no doubt that these, our regular take out options, have been dependably delicious 80% of the time. But the last time, all three items didn't hit the mark, making for a disappointing late night dinner after a long day at work. read more

We have been to CK Shanghai a number of times over the past few years and have always enjoyed our meals there...until earlier this week! On this visit with my wife, our two boys and my mother, the service was rushed and impersonal. Our server acted like she had better things to do. As for the food, two of the three appetizers we ordered were fine (golden fingers and boneless ribs.) However, the scallion pancake was thick, dense and chewy - like an uncooked pancake. It was kind of nasty. We also ordered four dishes, two of which were fine - Hunan Spicy Shrimp and Steamed Chicken and Veggies (for my mom.) The 1/2 Peking duck arrived looking well-cooked, yet tasted very gamey (even for duck!) We found it dried out, as if cooked the prior day! As our server came to clear the table, I indicated to her that we didn't really care for the duck - witnessed by half of it still left on the serving plate, she ignored us.) The chicken in our chicken fried rice tasted "old" and dried out. Overall, we were very disappointed with one of the worst Chinese meals we've had in quite a while. read more

Really good lunch specials. They have them until 3pm, and it includes rice as well. I like this place for take-out, as they do not deliver. The staff won't give you the warm and fuzzies, that's for sure. Half the time I visit, I feel like I'm an inconvenience to them. I'd rate this place well above those typical Chinese food places, where you walk in and order off a picture menu on the wall. It's not high end, but somewhere in the middle. Parking directly behind the building, with some free spots, or a row of paid meters. If all else fails, there's a lot across the street with metered parking. During lunch, this can be challenge. If you go on off-hours, it should be fine. read more

CK Shanghai now serves Dim Sum items on weekends and it's another 5 star experience! Love the cold dishes (especially during summer) such as the sweet & sour cabbage, the spicy cucumber and the vegetarian geese. The salty soy milk is quite a treat for Chinese like me who always crave for it. The dumplings are fresh, juicy and very plumpy just the way I love them. The dessert item, the red bean cake, was unique and perfect for us Chinese girls who always have a sweet tooth for red bean dessert. It has soft mochi and red bean inside with the crunchy bread layer outside. Very very delicious! I am looking forward to visit Boston again just so I can eat at CK's again! read more

I'm tempted to give CK Shanghai 5 stars, but that would be unfair to out-of-area Yelpers, because the fifth star would be for convenience (CK Shanghai is close to me and has great delivery.) If I were out of town, I'd rate CK Shanghai a 4 for better-than-average, low-to-medium budget Chinese. CK Shanghai is unusual in that it fills the gap between the usual "cheap Chinese takeout" and haute-cuisine Chinese food (which is quite rare, esp., if you don't live in NYC or Beijing.) Overall--try it! read more

I've been here a bunch of times, as I live nearby, and I have never been disappointed! Very authentic Chinese food! The portions here are HUGE when you dine in, so it's a great place for classic meal sharing. My favorite is the pork lo mein, boring I know but it's absolutely delicious. Food is always fresh and well made. The staff is extremely efficient and quick, they are very attentive and bring everything out on time. The restaurant is very clean and you can tell it is very well taken care of. Great spot for a big group meal, because of portion sizes, And prices are extremely reasonable! read more

This is my go-to for Chinese takeout! The Shanghai platter has something for everyone and is so tasty! Honey walnut shrimp are also a fan favorite! read more
