    Came here for my son's birthday he loves this place. We ended up doing the prefix menu. For the price it was a great deal especially for the amount of food that we received. We had attentive service. The dishes were delicious. We even had leftovers to take home

    Stopped in for a quick drink with friends before heading back home so I wasn't expecting much. We ended up having a great time and getting an impromptu mixology class from Kevin! He so knowledgeable and friendly. We stayed so long we ended up ordering the sticky ribs which were delicious! I loved the decor of the restaurant and how relaxed the atmosphere seemed. I will definitely stop by again when we're in Palm Beach next time.

    We visited for my child's birthday dinner. The interior is beautiful. They had anime wall holograms that feel like another world. I found it to be really immersive. The server was friendly but the push back on my drink order was frustrating. I asked for a Sprite with cucumber and mint. Yet garnishes were questioned and limited because he said they didn't want to run out. Like what?!? Food was mixed: my daughter didn't care for the ramen, while the barbecue duck fried rice was decent. The shredded duck wasn't ideal. I give it a 7.5 out of 10. A highlight was a staff member taking photos so we could remember the night. We purchased prints with frames. They came with the digital copies and were $20 for each framed photo. Overall, I'd consider returning with a different server and trying other dishes.

    I had been to KaPow and loved it...which was at this location before so when I saw it renamed to Shanghai'd I was excited to try it out and see if the food was just as good. Well...nothing much changed...the decor remained the same, the menu may have a couple altered items but for the most part it's the same restaurant! The service from the waitress was on point and while I enjoyed their happy hour menu, the food came out so quickly. I think I was in and out...belly full...in under 1hr! Definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good happy hour menu on Clematis!

    My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary. The ambiance was very nice and so was the service. The service staff was attentive and ensured we were taken care of. We had the Krack fries with the aioli sauce and it was so good, so was the tuna crispy rice. My girlfriend had the salmon dinner and I had 4 different bao buns. They were all good, but the short rib was not as tender. Overall, this is great for date nights and groups. I definitely would be back

    A cute location with amazing vibes with great food , the best are the pork belly bao buns they were so good! The drinks were great and the food didn't take long to get to our table . Amazing staff ; our server took our time explaining the top most order items . The restaurant had the amazing little light show in the wall that's already a fun interesting experience on its own .

    The service is always quick and friendly, and the drinks are really good without the prices being outrageous, which I definitely appreciate. One of my favorite things about this place is the ambiance. The atmosphere is super chill and the dim lighting makes it feel so cozy and easy on the eyes, I love restaurants with that kind of vibe.Nice place to have drinks, and enjoy a nice dinner or lunch without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Definitely one of my favorite spots in downtown West Palm.

    PUPU Platter For 2
    jessica p.

    We ordered the "Pu Pu Platter" for 2, along with a couple cocktails. I had really high hopes for this place as we are Kapow lovers! However, the food was not very flavorful and came out room temperature. The "Krabby patty" (krab rangoon) filling tasted sour and inedible. The pork egg roll had a cracker-like crumbly texture that I did not enjoy, and it tasted like it had been frozen. The one item I did enjoy from the platter was the Szechuan Beef Potsticker. For $40, I would hope for better quality dim sum. Service was friendly and attentive. I loved the ambiance and decor inside! Maybe stop here for a cocktail if you enjoy the Asian-inspired ambiance.

    My friend and I stumbled into Shanghai'd and we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted immediately upon entry and taken to a table. We loved the decor of the restaurant, it felt like Japan. The lychee martinis were so delicious, perfect. The wok charred edamame was also pretty good. I wish the tuna and crispy rice had a bit more flavor, but overall I was satisfied with y experience here.

    Cardboard glued to the noodles
    Niki P.

    Sadly I couldn't even eat my food - I ordered from here for the first time - I ordered delivery . The food looked amazing however when I tried to take it out of the container all the noodles stuck to the cardboard container like glue and peeled up half the cardboard at the same time.. terrible idea to put wet noodles or any type of damp food into a cardboard container- I'd like to think that they are trying to use recycled materials biodegradable.. but it doesn't work in a case like this where it just melts the cardboard:(

    Would you eat this? It's supposed to be steak. Not sushi
    Robert A.

    I ordered the steak medium, then I sent it back. Then it came out raw. Absolutely terrible. Makes sense why there were only 2 tables in here at 8pm on a Friday. This place sucks. Can't cook meat? Manager was wearing a soccer jersey. What happened . Where's Rodney? No management ?

    Enjoyed this new restaurant and all of the food brought to our table of six. We shared the food and each of us swore we'd be back. Food was awesome! The service was second to none, it was absolutely outstanding! The ambiance was super.

Yes they were that good and the tangy soy sauce that pairs with it enticed the hell out of my taste buds. I wasn't sure if I had already tried the beef in hot garlic sauce but I ordered it anyway. I chose a non- spicy choice but it definitely would probably be more flavorful with more spice. I loved that it came with veggies - bamboo shoots, carrots and my favorite...mushrooms! The house pan fried noodles were certainly interesting as the crispy egg noodles were in a separate container from the shrimp, calamari, chicken, pork and vegetables. Once you added the protein, veggies and gravy the noodles start to soften up. Loved that it came with more mushrooms but wished it had more taste. Overall I will definitely be getting those pork dumplings again but I may just stick to my old faithful house fried rice and orange beef until I'll feeling adventurous again.

The ingredients tasted fresh, the seasoning was on point, and nothing felt unnecessarily heavy or overly sauced. The shrimp shumai were delicious--generously filled and flavorful. The garlic clam with vermicelli was probably my favorite. Not only was the presentation beautiful, served on oyster shells, but the combination actually worked. The garlic was flavorful without overpowering the delicate clams, and the vermicelli provided a great contrast in texture. This is the kind of dish where you can tell some thought went into the execution. The sweet and sour pork was also very well done. Crisp, not greasy, and importantly, not drowning in an overly sweet sauce. The balance was just right. We finished with the egg custard, which takes about 20 minutes to prepare. It was worth waiting for. It had that genuine, traditional quality that you don't always find when restaurants start modifying dishes to appeal to a broader audience. And then there was the service: Our server, Mai, was wonderful. She was warm, courteous, and professional without being overly formal or hovering. More importantly, she actually knew the menu. Her recommendations were excellent, and every dish she suggested delivered. She also recommended a sake pairing that complemented the meal beautifully. I also thought the pricing was very reasonable for the quality. These are dishes that require good ingredients and careful preparation, and I didn't feel like we were paying an inflated price. Authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, thoughtful execution, and genuinely good service. That's what makes a restaurant worth returning to--and Grand Lake got all four right. A very solid 5 stars from me.

I also had the shrimp balls, which arrived piping hot, were perfectly cooked, and weren't greasy at all. They were packed with flavor. Overall, another excellent dining experience.

Since then, the restaurant has changed names and hands several times, and I keep going back each time to try it. The last time we were there was a couple of years ago. We went for dim sum and were disappointed. Recently, people have been raving about the dim sum under the new ownership, so we went today after church to give it another try. It was jam packed. And after a 15-20 minute wait, we got a table. The restaurant had a crowd, so service was fast and furious. The table we got had spilled tea and the server simply sopped up the tea, using napkins and wiping the entire table with that pile of napkins, and then seated us. (What? No spray or fresh wipe?) We were hungry, sat, and grabbed a few of our favorite items from the rolling carts. We would give the dim sum a solid 7 out of 10, although we thought the rice paper wrapping on some of the items is a bit thicker than we like. Things like the sticky rice, which usually has chopped chicken, pork, shrimp, and Chinese sausage, basically had chopped meat and a little bit of sausage. The football-shaped fried taro dumplings were crispy and tasty but we did not like the filling. The rolling carts give the experience a more authentic feel. I would add a half star for the ambience and freshness of the food. So, 3.5 stars. (Yelp doesn't allow half stars.) However, we have a favorite dim sum restaurant in Pembroke Pines and would rather drive all the way there from Plantation to enjoy a 5-star dim sum experience.

    One Star -- The Worst Chinese Restaurant Experience I Have Ever Had…read more I had an extremely disappointing lunch at Toa Toa Dim Sum & Seafood. My meal cost $62.96, but the food quality and the owner's response were completely unacceptable. The waitress recommended the stir-fried conch ($34.99). It was tasteless and so chewy that it felt like eating rubber bands. The green vegetables served with it were extremely tough and almost impossible to chew. I explained the problem to the owner. To my surprise, he admitted that he already knew about it. I asked him why he would continue serving a dish that he knew had a problem and could barely be eaten. He simply smiled. There was no apology, no expression of regret, no discount, and no offer to replace the dish. The pork buns ($6.95) were extremely dry. The steamed shrimp dumplings ($6.95) fell apart as soon as I picked one up with my chopsticks because the wrappers were breaking. When I mentioned this, the owner told me that I could not compare his food with food in Hong Kong. I was not expecting the highest Hong Kong standards--I was simply expecting basic quality from a Chinese restaurant. The final dish, steamed vegetables with oyster sauce, was badly overcooked. The owner said that he had taken over the restaurant about a month ago, although Toa Toa has been here for several years. Based on this experience, I believe the food has become even worse under the new ownership. Every dish I ordered had a quality problem, and the owner's dismissive response made the experience even worse. I left feeling that I had completely wasted $62.96. Even if this food were free, I would not want to eat it again. This was the worst Chinese restaurant experience I have ever had. I cannot recommend this restaurant.
