Excellent food and excellent value. Would definitely return. My family enjoyed the family meal for 5. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed being able to try so many dishes. read more

Great food and taste with helpful service. Clean venue. It is difficult to make better food at home for the same price. I am a regular.

The crispy chicken was full of small bones. The shaghai noodles were slimey. The meal was cold when it was delivered, and whomever packed the dinner did not even take the care to put ithe noodle dish n a plastic bag , so it leaked all over everything. Very disappointing, after all the good reviews. read more

Take out Food was very good except the General Tao chicken. Neither of us like it, too much. Pork fried dumplings was excellent, torpedo shrimp , special bistro fried rice bbq beef short ribs were good too. Will definitely go back. read more

Very friendly service. The aromas on walking in were mouth-watering. The soup dumplings were outstanding. We tried about 8 different dimsum offerings and except for the steamed ribs in black bean sauce, all were exceptional. The ribs were good, but just not enough garlic and black bean taste...rather bland and mostly fat and bone. I prefer pungent sauce with a real hit of garlic. It could just be a regional difference. Next time we'll try the beef short ribs. The bbq pork bao were the best I've had...even in Hong Kong! We ordered the grilled green beans and OH MY GOSH, I am in love! They came in a mini wok with a burner to keep them hot. Tons of garlic and fresh raw bean sprouts underneath. The beans were perfectly cooked: tender crisp. I ended out taking the leftovers home and ate them col, llater that night. I am salivating just thinking about them. The place is clean and watching the fella make the dumplings is fascinating. All the other non-dimsum dishes coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled fantastic. It isn't fancy, but is a solid gem in Windsor. Can't wait to get back there with family soon. read more

This is an awesome place for traditional Chinese soup dumplings and cuisine. It's is one of the best soup dumpling place I had since New York! The dumplings are hand made and very flavorful. Would highly recommend it if you're in Windsor Checkout the soup noodle! read more

Best soup dumplings! We drive from Bloomfield Hills for these...so yummy. Well worth the drive and they are always on time for my pickup orders. The chef makes dumplings up front..super authentic. read more

Amazing place! Don't take my word for it. Run to this place , don't walk...hurry...go!!! Grew up in Seattle, but have lived in NYC for 20 years! This place is right at the top contending with the places I grew up with in Seattle and the top places in NY...if not better... read more

Soup dumpling : The skin is very thin and when you pick it up with chopsticks, it's strong enough not to break. The meat filling is delicious and soupy like the way it supposed to be. Much more authentic compares to Best China in Canton and Jeff's Kitchen in West Bloomfield in Metro Detroit area 。 Pan fried meat buns: The size should be smaller, and should be pan fried little bit longer to make authentic Shanghainese style. They look and taste like Northern style. Not too bad in general. read more

Came here through a recommendation from a friend. Love the different types of soup dumples they offer, and dumplings also. My favorite is the crab soup dumplings. We also got the Shanghai shumai, it's super delicious and has rice inside, which is unexpected. Definitely get those. Also tried their beef udon & it's also delicious, noodles were cooked perfectly. This isn't the typical Japanese udon, but it has a Chinese twist to it, very flavorful & comes with lots of meat. My mom was complaining there was too much, and not enough veggies but there was also a good amount of veggies in there. Definitely a spot to hit when visiting Windsor. Also, accepts cash & credit. Yay! read more

This place has been on my list of places to try for a while and we finally decided to stop Saturday night. It was still early in the evening but it was busy inside. Still had a few seats so we were quickly pointed to a table and got to looking over the menu. On the way to our seats we noticed the delicious foods everyone had and the chef at the front cutting dough for the dumplings they serve right in the front window. The menu has lots to choose from and we quickly settled on two entrees and pork dumplings. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot. It was a lot of food! The dumplings then arrived and were large and delicious. It was almost too much food for two people. I'd recommend coming with 4 people so you can share soup dumplings (which they are known for) or the pan fried dumplings or whatever else may entice you. The inside decor is bright and cheery. Love the wall art. All in all an A+ experience and I would recommend this place if you're ever in Windsor or nearby. read more

I cross the Canadian border at least once a month to have dinner here with my kids. Their soup dumplings are *chef kiss*! Their bbq ribs are also GREAT! Their fried rice is out of their world! You can taste the freshness in its ingredients and can tell it was made fresh and not sitting on heated pan. read more

I found this on a whim as I was showing a friend around Windsor. We came in from Michigan. I was looking for a Chinese restaurant I frequented often in the past, but couldn't find it. We drove past Shanghai Bistro and saw the bright dining area full of patrons. So we figured why not let's try it. We ordered a meat dish and a vegetable dish, what they were I can't recall. But, what we ordered that was memorable was the soup dumplings. The special way to eat it, the broth inside, and the filling all deliciously wonderful. I vowed to return after that visit...hence, within a year of my 1st visit, I have brought: a foodie couple, relatives that live in Windsor(who had no idea the place existed), a world traveler who has stayed in China, and family members who swore off Chinese food because of Detroit's nonexistent tasty Chinese spots...all in all everyone loved it. Additionally, I've made an effort to visit once a month...if I lived closer I'd dine once a week. I may have tried close to 50% of everything on the menu, everything was amazing!! The owner always comes over and says hello and makes us feel at home! Run there, don't walk and maybe if you're heading there let me know, I'll come with!! read more

Yum! I have to drive all the way from Michigan to get some real and authentic Chinese food. My partner and I are already planning a trip back. This will likely be our favorite Chinese restaurant while living in Michigan. read more

Simply incredible Chinese food. You can't go wrong with the soup dumplings. My favorite were the crab. They were very savory. The Shanghai beef noodle soup was also incredible. The broth had so much flavor! However, the egg was a little too salty for me. Other than that, the experience was great! read more

Handmade baozi should keep the same standard. Every time I tried it is different. The price is a little bit high.

Love it so much! I live in Detroit so havent been able to go due to COVID but I miss it everyday

Awesome place for soup dumplings, as good as those from NYC. worth the tolls across the border, we ordered pork soup dumplings, and spicy beef, soup dumplings, as well as short ribs, which had a nice little sear on them and a slightly sweet sauce. Service was solid, definitely going back. read more

We drove to Canada for this restaurant. Definitely not disappointed. Absolutely love the soup dumplings, we had the crab and shrimp And the spicy beef. Also have the pan fried pork buns, scallion pancakes, beef and onion rolls and bistro noodles. Noodles were well seasoned and really enjoyed the thicker texture. Can't wait to go back here! So many more things to try but those soup dumplings were well worth the trip! Follow me @withlovefrommiche on IG for more foodie travels read more

Shanghai Bistro - Stir fried chicken noodles My best - Chinese Near Me - Windsor, Ontario

I miss coming here since before the pandemic started, hopefully with the border opening today august 9th I'll be able to visit again, it's been more than a year, I miss the soup dumplings, Singapore noodles, & the scallion pancakes :,( my family misses the red bean pancakes as well read more

Shanghai Bistro is the real deal. We opted for soup to celebrate the advent of fall and got a rameny beef broth (the special!) and one with a pork cutlet that they billed as "pork chop," though it was pretty much tonkatsu in a light broth. The beef broth was better-- more flavorful and a bit spicy- but the pork one was decent, and the cutlet was delicious and a monstrous portion, to boot. We also got the black fungus in vinegar, which I had never had before. No, it isn't the stachybotrys chartarum that grows in your basement, but rather the cloud ear fungus (auricularia polytricha, that is, ear-ia many somethings-- I majored in Latin, you see), common in certain Chinese cooking. It was delish. Somewhere between animal and vegetable consistency, but with a rich flavor and the pleasant vinegar acidity. We were bummed to miss the dim sum offerings, which I guess they only have on the weekends, but the soup was good nonetheless. I have also heard rave reviews of some dish with spicy pork and bamboo, and I hear they also do not mess around with the Szechuan peppercorns. Saving these for next time and I will be salivating all the while thinking about it. read more

One of my all time favorite places in Windsor. Must try the fish cooked in chili oil. Very quick service and good price

Best Chinese I've had in Ontario. Detroiters cross the river for this gem, and the obvious why. The portions are great, lots of flavor, wonderful wait staff and good prices. Not much street parking so expect to walk a little, which isn't a bad thing after a big meal! read more

I've been to Shanghai Bistro three times since they've opened and each visit has been very enjoyable. The soup-filled dumplings (xiaolongbao) are fantastic! My favourite being #2 on the menu: crab & pork...six morsels of soup filled heaven! Warning, do not stuff in your mouth the moment it arrives at your table. The soup inside the dumpling is very hot! Wait a few minutes and use a spoon or eat it over your bowl. It is soooo good! The best thing about Shanghai Bistro is #4 on the menu: Pan Fried Pork dumplings. You get four large perfectly pan fried empanada style dumplings that have a precise crispness on the outside and a steamy soup drenched pork filling on the inside ---yum!!! At my last visit I discovered something new. It's #9 on the menu: Steamed dumplings with shrimp & pork. They are delicious!. My boyfriend and I also ordered the stir fried noodles with beef-#59. It doesn't disappoint. It came with a free wonton soup. The wonton soup broth was on the salty side, but I'm really not going to complain about free soup. I finished it. As for the service, it's good.: polite, friendly and efficient. The place is small and can get crowded during peak hours but hey, so worth the wait! read more

was very disappointed. most of the dishes had zero/no taste. service was poor. had the dinner for 2 plus some add ons. they didn't bring the pop or wonton soup that was supposed to come with the meal. told me after the check came and asked if I wanted to take the pop home lol. we had the BBQ pork rice; beef with udon; beef with mixed vegetables; sweet and sour pork; pork dumplings (gyoza); shrimp and pork shu mai; spring rolls. we had to put soy sauce on everything just to have some type of taste. I'm not sure how these reviews are so high for this place. ya the portions are on the bigger side, but it's also on the expensive side as well - especially for Windsor. the price for the quality are way off. I would definitely not go back. read more

SO GOOODDDDDD. Just make sure to go here on a completely empty stomach, because you'll want all the soup dumplings.

Amazing Shanghai noodles and excellent service while you watch your dumplings being made by hand. Highly recommend.

The menu is huge and a challenge to go through but each dish we chose was delicious. As noted in my ghee reviews, soup dumplings are a must. We had a noodle dish with shrimp which was full of large shrimp. Eggplant dish with port was also tasty. It is a small place with very good Asian options. read more

Don't know where are the good reviews are coming from, but food was so salty we had to rinse them with water before actually eating them

amazing prices the soup dumplings are to die for i would slap my momma respectfully its bussin bussin read more

Shanghai Bistro - Me after i was done - Chinese Near Me - Windsor, Ontario

I made a 5 hour trek to have some of the famous dumplings here and was not disappointed. The soup dumplings were quite pleasant, with no spillage. I also tried the twice cooked pork, gai lan, and beef/onion roll. I'm usually not a pork person, but this was pleasantly sweet and full of flavor. I wish gai lan had a little more ginger, but it was still pretty good. The staff was attentive and it also was heartwarming to see them dining together as well. You know a company cares when their staff dines together. We also stuck around and watched dumplings being made-- very mesmerizing to see! read more
