Our sushi was delicious, fresh, and so hit the spot. Her fiancé thought the Sweet and Sour Chicken was better than what we had in our hometown. When I saw the check, I was more surprised that our dinner was less expensive than I thought, being that it was half off all sushi dinners for that night. The only downside was the service. The place had only about three tables with customers, and the wait staff was slower than what we thought would be expected. Otherwise, I wish we could have this kind of place in our hometown.

It was around 5pm. We ordered the special platter of pad krapao, crab rangoons, combo platter, pho, curry pad Thai, and white/sticky rice. Overall, the service was decent but the food was not great. The pad krapao and curry pad Thai definitely was on the salty side. The pho was nothing special. Crab rangoons were some of the worse I've eaten. Very thin wrapper and lacked filling. My son said he enjoyed the egg roll that came with the combo platter but I didn't try it to comment on it. Sticky rice came in a cute little rice warmer but was so small I couldn't believe it. lol I'm happy we were able to be seated right away and the food didn't take too long to get ready but would not recommend this place because the food was not that great.

We are partial to sitting at restaurant bars when we go out to eat. The Shanghai Bistro bar is always in need of a wipe-down when we sit down at an otherwise barely occupied bar. We love the food, but when we have to ask the completely uninterested bartender to clean his bar, this gets the experience off to an unpleasant beginning. We've had the same bartender each of the three times we've been there and each time it seems as if he'd rather be anywhere but there. Even after leaving a note on my credit card slip last time suggesting he take more pride in his department, the bar area is still in pretty sorry shape. Shanghai Bistro used to be PACKED on weeknights as well as weekends. Even on a Wednesday night -- which is their sushi special night -- the fact that the place had perhaps 20 diners demonstrates that something has gone wrong. We will undoubtedly return despite these last three unpleasant experiences. We simply hope that reviews such as this one will reach the eyes of those who need to read them.

Recently, I returned to this mall and looked at the options at the food court. I saw Yihi Japan, which is a Japanese stall where you can get teriyaki dishes and more. I have a soft spot for teriyaki fast food at malls. There used to be an excellent one at Markville Mall. When the mall renovated its food court area to be more upscale, this mom-and-pop stall shuttered for good. I decided to try Yihi Japan out. There were three men behind the counter. I was looking at the menu and one of them gave me a chicken morsel smothered in some sweet honey sauce on a toothpick. The chicken was yummy and the light batter around it was delicious. The sauce was too sweet for my liking, but it did have some tang to it that I enjoyed. I am a teriyaki person. The special was beef and chicken teriyaki for $12.59. I decided to splurge and got the beef and shrimp teriyaki with veggies on fried rice for $12.99. The three men were not Japanese. They were Latinos. Never judge a book by its cover. I had yummy pizza in Stockholm several years back. The man who made it was Chinese. I also got a fountain drink with my meal. I ordered a Diet Pepsi. I paid with a credit card. I got my drink first and sipped it as I waited. It was icy cold and hit the spot. One of the men was training another guy at the grill. I waited and watched. He asked if I wanted veggies, including mushrooms. Yes, please! I saw my food get carefully placed in my styrofoam container. Sadly, both my drink and this container were styrofoam. I hope that changes down the road. I let the man who had prepared my food know that he did a great job. He smiled, obviously proud of his accomplishment. I placed my drink on the tray with my food and headed to a table at the food court to chow down. There is wifi available, but it is spotty. It was enough for me to play a game on my phone as I ate. My beef and shrimp teriyaki was yummy. The beef was done perfectly. I loved the mushrooms, broccoli, and other veggies that came with my meal. The shrimp was also done perfectly. They weren't rubbery at all. The sodium level was rather high in the teriyaki sauce and proteins, though. I wish that it wasn't so salty. It became a bit of a vicious cycle to drink more because I was thirsty. Luckily, my feet didn't swell up! Yihi Japan is a nice addition to the food court. A&W has always been there, but it's nice to order food that isn't strictly labelled American at this food court. (21)
