Pretty good price and good food. We ordered House Chow mien that we had ordered to go before so we knew it was good. Shrimp fried rice, was good according to hubby who is a picky lol Wonton soup (forgot to take pic), was average Mongolian Beef was blah and disappointed. I had no idea how to describe it. Sadly. Service was good. The place is nice and clean. Water served in a Kirkland water bottle. They have free coffee and tea if I could recall but unfortunately no one refills the dispenser by the time we were there. We would come back to try some other food besides Mongolian. read more

New Shanghai is supperrr popular considering they are one of the only halal Chinese spots in sac so if you want to go make a reservation beforehand!! I went during Ramadan and the service was great and they tried to get out food to us promptly - since we were the first ones to order - my friend who came later had waited about 30 minutes for her order to be taken and a mother thirty for the food to arrive. So be prepared to wait!!! The service is great otherwise (but they definitely need more staff) and location is well decorated but small for the amount of traffic they get. The food is pretty good though some dishes are definitely better than others (like orange chicken over the chow mein - DONT do mongolian meat it's so bad and tasteless both times). read more

Ordered door dash for lunch. Not sure what they are doing with their general tso chicken, but it's literally almost all breading. Where's the chicken?! I was wondering why it tasted so sweet and the texture was off. I split the "chicken" up on several pieces and it's pretty much 99% breading that's fluffy almost like a donut inside. There might be a tiny piece of what might be chicken in there... not sure. Chicken chow mein was good so 2 stars. I wouldn't recommend. Yikes. read more

This is one of the full service Chinese restaurant serves 100% halal. The place might have been previously under different ownership and wasn't halal at that time. Current owner needs to take down old pictures, this confuses Customers who cares about 100% halal food. read more

Was really excited to see that this place was under new ownership and now all Halal! My family has been coming to New Shanghai for over 20years and quality had gone downhill in recent years. A change was much needed. Came in late around 8:20pm after training at the gym across the street and saw a sign at the front "no dine-in today". No problem, there was a big party of what we assumed was family sitting in the dining area. At first impression, the place was really clean! And decorated nicely. We ordered, with recommendations from the helpful waiter, and hung out for about 15 mins while they prepared our food. We ordered the Mongolian beef chow mein after learning they no longer had the bbq chicken option. Also ordered the General Chicken. We only live about 12 mins away so food was still super hot when we got home. The chow mein was delicious, very flavorful and the beef was thin and tender. The general chicken was amazing, not too spicy but just right! A heads up- it was deep fried and very breaded so you didn't actually get much chicken. The breading was sweet almost favored funnel cake but oh sooo tasty! And they threw in a huge side of this crispy chili that was more smokey than spicy - it was incredible. Overall, really happy with our food, wished they'd give a more generous portion of meat but next time we will order a protein entree that isn't fried. And can't wait to dine-in for the full experience. read more

I was sadly disappointed at the quantity and taste of the food. The chicken was dry and tasteless. The chicken chow mein had very little chicken but was decent. Nice mix of vegetables, but tasteless. I had had lunch there a couple years ago and i really enjoyed it. I understand they're under new management. For the $50 I spent I was hoping to have a meal. I'd enjoy and leftovers I would want to eat. Definitely do not recommend them. read more

My husband suggested I pick up the family meal for our first time trying. It was $50 and I was shocked to see how much food you get for the price INCLUDING the soup which is RARE! We got eggs rolls, wonton soup, fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour pork and orange chicken. WOW! The flavors and crunch to everything was to die for! I cannot wait to visit again, I'm already craving more orange chicken!! read more

I've eaten Chinese food all over the west coast everywhere from a liquor store to places in or around Malibu and this was by far the absolute best Chinese food I have ever had. The potstickers were double to triple the size of other places in regards to both overall size and the amount of meat inside. The sauce was outstanding too. I mean I knew Chinese food was outstanding mathematically/logically but never got to actually taste it until now. Best potstickers in the Sacramento area I'd bet money on it. Well done read more

We've been here 3 times in 10 days... so yeah, you could say we're basically regulars now. New Shanghai is hands down the best Chinese food in the Sacramento area and the fact that it's halal makes it even better. The food is ridiculously good, the service is friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is always clean, organized, and comfortable to sit in. Also, it's always nice seeing aunties and uncles in there enjoying their food too -- you already know that's how you can tell it's legit. At this point I'm not even trying to "find a new spot" anymore... I already found it. Highly recommend. Disregard the older reviews- those are from a previous ownership group and entity..... read more

We came here at noon on a Monday with family from all over the states. Food was good but service was horrible. We had to clear our own table. Servers sounded irritated when brining out food. We regretted coming. I hope they do better. We're a long time customer but probably be our last. read more

Half of our party came early, they waited for us with no problem. Had a party of 7 and every dish was amazing. I recommend it for anyone looking for halal Chinese food in the area. read more

Food was amazing, ordered basically everything. Dinner special, extra fried rice, Mongolian beef and more! Nothing disappointed, staff was amazing and on point. Been here multiple times, recommend it for anyone looking for halal Chinese food. Ambiance was nice, prayer area as well. read more

Amazing food with hearty portions what more can you ask for. Family meal is a great deal if you want meals for a few days.

Incredible service, amazing food, and feels like your visiting a close relatives house- very intimate. If you haven't tried it, it's definitely worth your time and money. Enjoy! read more

Everything is absolutely DELICIOUS. If I can confess... we were here three times this week. First of all, it's not overly expensive. Prices are very fair. The egg drop soup tastes homemade, like a grandmother made it with love and care. I am very picky when it comes to dumplings, and the chicken won ton dumpling soup tastes very high quality. Another huge plus is the service is so friendly and always checks on you. Even though I am a Christian and don't have to eat Halal only, I love that it's Halal! That's a great plus, and I feel makes the quality even higher. Thank you New Shanghai! We will be back soon! :) read more

Our family really can appreciate a good Chinese Halal restaurant!! I am so glad we took the opportunity to try this sweet little Gem! We've had take out and (mainly) dine in and it's never disappointed. I want to point out a few things that really stuck out about this business . 1. Let's just CLEAR some false information in the reviews as we made sure to ask all the questions prior to ordering - YES they're certified HALAL (NO PORK is offered on the new menu) We were fortunate enough to try this place for the first time during Ramadan 2025 - the sweet employee saw us sitting waiting for our To-go order and knew we would be breaking our fast there and not at home so he politely offered both my husband and I water and a Date! Wow , just wow.. I've only ever had an experience like this in the home of a Muslim family. This was quite frankly the best first impression and we hadn't even had the food yet lol 2. Food was delicious ! Hot right out the wok and tasted a lot like the Bay Area Chinese were use to having only here w/ Halal beef and chicken!! (No Veggie only for us) 3. The bad reviews clearly indicate there was a lack of expectation and I know as a former waitress everyone's got different opinions/ taste buds ect but this place really goes above and beyond to ensure you leave happy and satisfied. 4. The small touches of having a designated prayer area for Salat and complimentary tea is a big Win for me. Lastly - Mason who always works so hard to ensure the best customer service and is genuinely the sweetest to my kids and family always greets us with the warmest hellos and makes us look forward to returning. Thank you Mason and owner for bringing delicious food and amazing service to the community . (I would share pics but sadly we're too hungry to remember) lol House Chow mein Veggie Delight Sweet & Sour chicken (So far our favorite) read more

Food was very good. We had 7 people and all of us enjoyed our food. They had halal food which is why we went there and we all Liked the various dishes we ate read more

Do not trust the star review, they are now under new management as of just a few months ago! This is now an Islamic Chinese restaurant meaning they no longer serve alcohol and all of the meat is certified halal. I had a very nice time here with my wife, daughter and my in-laws. Although I don't always observe halal, I am happy to see it because it typically denotes that the restaurant has to obtain higher quality meat and I find that it is prepared in a more clean manner. The food here was not greasy, well Seasoned came out promptly, and tasted fresh and delicious. Even if you are not a Muslim, give this place a try for some tasty, reliable sit down Chinese food at a fairly reasonable price. read more

Another successful date night with my husband. We love the food and portion sizes here. The staff is wonderful, shoutout to Mason, he is so helpful, hospitable and attentive. Food comes out fast and is fresh. We love coming here. read more

First time here and food was good, service was too Mason was our server. We were the only ones there but seems like they get alot of take out orders because people were coming in to pick up food. My family of four got a dinner special and it was plenty of food. We even had leftovers. We will be trying this place again read more

I'm usually a bit weary to try new Chinese places but there's always cars parked here so I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the Egg Flower soup which had was full of flavor, eggs and small chopped veggies, including baby corn. Less than $10 bucks and could feed at least 4 people. I ate two bowls and still had plenty for take home. The chicken wontans, i ordered extra crispy and they came out very fast, perfectly crisp and piping hot. I wasn't sure what to try and was in between the General Chicken and Walnut Shrimp so I ordered them both and Egg Fried rice w garlic. The General Chicken had a lot of red peppers but wasn't super spicy. The Walnut Shrimp was probably the best I've ever had!!! Perfect amount of crisp and sauce. Which one of the servers (Kristen i think her name was) mentioned they make all their suaces from scratch and can serve them for other meat options. (The don't offer pork btw, but that was totally fine for me) I highly recommend the Walnut Shrimp!! The rice was the only item that was just "meh", would've been nice w more egg and a little more flavor but wasn't bad. I also ordered sweet amd sour chicken to go (even though I don't believe it was on the menu) and it came out piping hot and FRESH. The only things I'd point out if I had to point cons would be: It was freezing cold outside and not much warmer inside. I forgot my jacket and was freezing the whole time. It would've been nice to have Fresh Hot tea at the table, but they offer it complimentary in "serve yourself" coffee cannister style as much as you want. It would've also been nice to have the chili variety at the table and low sodium soy sauce, but the server was very kind to bring out chili oil, Sriracha and hot mustard packets... Mason was a new server helping me but he was very attentive and Kristen was also very helpful. I over heard her telling another table how much she loved working here and how great the owners are to them. That's always refreshing to hear. At the end of the meal they offer complimentary ice cream with cinnamon wontans crisps. This is a Family Style dining place so if you're like me and eat alone you're going to end up with lots of left overs. Thankfully I have a family of 4 at home and there's still plenty for them to share even after I stuffed my face. When I asked Kristen if they offer smaller portions she mentioned that although they don't, you can get lunch in buffet style options (i think from 11-1) in case you want less, or so you don't end up with so much leftovers when wanting to try variety. I highly recommend giving this place a try and will definitely be back with my family. This is going to be our new "Go-To" for Chinese. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. Their soups are delicious (wonton soup and hot and sour are my top two favorites), the chow mein noodles have a great chewy texture, their BBQ chicken fried rice is fantastic, and I like their Generals Chicken (ask for it to be a little spicier, you won't regret it). You know it's good flavors when you don't have to add soy sauce to the food. The service is great - I have had nothing but great service from the servers, even when they're dealing with unruly diners. Whenever I'm craving Chinese food, I make the 45 minute drive to this restaurant every time. So happy to have found this little gem for the halal foodies out there. read more

I have Covid and this is the second time this week I've ordered the wonton soup and I'm not disappointed! I love consistency with flavor and they are on point. They include pieces of bbq pork and a bit of greens in there. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I love bok choy in my soup. Can't wait until I feel better to order different items from the menu! read more

Best halal Chinese restaurant in the area. The food was good, ambiance was cozy, and the pricing was GREAT. You can literally get 4 people worth of food through their specials (with many decent options) for just $50 bucks! Service was decent as well. Its a new restaurant so needs some kinks worked out, but overall, it was definitely a 4/5 experience for me. Would come back for sure. Giving it a 5 star for the encouragement read more

Stopped here on our way from Tahoe to the Bay and really enjoyed the food here! We ordered the orange chicken (the best dish), house chow mein and Mongolian beef. All the portions were much more than we expected and flavorful. The orange chicken was by far the best orange chicken I've had, unique for its crispiness. Definitely will come again! read more

Excellent Chinese food, classic flavors and friendly service! Dinner special is a great deal for families!

Everything tasted good. There are no spice levels so I had to ask. Orange chicken and sweet and sour is more on the sweet side. Mongolian beef was spicy and really good. The place looked really nice from inside as well. Glad to finally have a halal Chinese place in Sacramento. Will definitely be coming back to try more dishes. read more
