    小炒

    Came here on a Wednesday night. Still many tables were available . Ordered many dishes and we just loved how the chef used only a little bit of cooking oil to cook each item. Most restaurants use a lot of oil to cook each dish, but this is probably one of the healthier restaurants. Definitely good for people that are trying to eat healthier. Everything was quite bland but still tasty.

    I13. 上海粗炒面 / Shanghai Style Chow Mein
    Tim Y.

    I'm always on the hunt for delicious Shanghai fried noodles and found Shanghai delight on Yelp. The restaurant is located on the left side of the Ranch99 shopping plaza on Barber Lane. My phone order for their Shanghai style chow mein for pickup was ready in only 15 minutes. The employees were incredibly friendly and made me feel appreciated. On a late Saturday evening, almost every table was occupied. After trying the noodles at home, it's easy to see why this place is so popular. I loved the thick noodles and their great flavor! The dish also included a generous amount of pork and two distinct types of vegetables. I'll definitely dine in next time and can only imagine how much better this dish could have been fresh. There was plenty of parking that evening.

    I generally really enjoy Shanghainese food especially the salty pork veggie rice... When the rice arrived it looked wet... but was actually oily. Not much salty pork taste but very "green" taste. I could taste the Chinese book Chou in every bite as if the soak the rice in veggies purée. Not the best version I have tried in the Bay Area. The appetizer (coupled delight?) 父妻肺片 was very salty and small. The numbing oil was tasty but the meat tasted overtly marinated and very salty. The best dish was the meatballs. The salty egg yolk was wonderful. The texture of the meatballs was a bit mushy but passable. And all the while I had to shoo away a fly what was fixated on the meatballs...

    The menu is huge! Talk about authentic Shanghainese cuisine! The service was quick, and we got our dishes right away. We were in and out for lunch in an hour. My favorite was this fish dish, which is easy to overcook, but they didn't! It was tender, flaky, and flavorful. The lionhead meatballs tasted great over rice. The only reason I docked one star is because the prices were a little high for a "dive-y" place (ie, menu specials printed and taped on the walls, disorganization, not super clean), but the food was delicious so I'm not complaining. My friend and I were fighting over who should bring home the leftovers!

    Double dip on tips

    The quality of the food was okay. Portions were on the smaller side, more like appetizer portions. There were eight of us. When the bill came, it had 18% service charge automatically added which was expected. However, the final check came and they circled additional tips for 18%. Now I don't think that's right. Probably will not return.

    Ordered Sauteed Prawns, Filet Fish in Wine Sauce, Crabmeat Ball, Preserved Vegetable with Bean Curd Sheet, Bean Curd with Vegetables, Happy Family Clay Pot, Seafood and Tofu Pot, and Soup Dumplings. All the food was good, but my favorites were the clay pots, bean curd with vegetables, and vegetables with bean curd sheet. The service was quick and attentive. And the ambiance was casual.

    The environment and service were decent. I ordered three dishes, and the disappointing one was a cold appetizer--Shanghai smoked fish. The fish was over-fried, making the meat too hard, leaving nothing enjoyable to eat. My favorite was the Sauteed Shelled Prawns; the shrimp were unexpectedly tender and delicious, resembling the texture I had in Shanghai. As for the Yangzhou-style bean curd and dry shrimp, it was just so-so. Essentially, it was dried tofu strips, shrimp, and vegetables cooked together in a broth.

    Shanghai Delight is a small, modest restaurant located in a strip mall shopping center. My family and I arrived at around 11:30am on Saturday, which is right before the lunch rush. Thus, we were seated right away. However, it was pretty packed by the time we left. My family got a few items to share including the Shanghai style noodle soup, Shanghai style pork fried rice, fish fillet, and pork belly. Overall, the dishes that we ordered were simple, but done well. It felt homey and I wouldn't mind getting any of these dishes again. Of course, next time, I'll have to try some additional specialty items because the tables next to us had me craving more!

    Second time here in less than a month. Ate the fish with wine sauce and braised cloud's ear and sautéed eggplant. Easy ordering system by QR code on the table or placing the order in Chinese with a waitress. Food comes piping hot to the table. Appreciate their good service and great food. Look forward to our next meal here!

    Meat balls with egg yolk inside, chicken dish, and tofu puffs with squash and pork.
    Janet T.

    I liked the meat ball with egg yolk stuffing, that dish was delicious. The chicken reminded me of orange chicken, was ok for me. The tofu puff was delicious, but the pork that came with it was a bit too salty for me, other than that, the dish was good as I really liked the squash that came with it.

    Great food, would come back to try more dishes! *** A M B I A N C E *** Very homestyle restaurant vibe. There isn't anything special about the interior. The chopsticks looked a bit worn out, so we asked for disposable ones. The ceramic plates and bowls looked okay, but I noticed that some tea cups were slightly chipped. *** F O O D *** Bean Curd with Vegetables YangZhou Style Bean Curd and Dry Shrimp Grouper in Sweet and Sour Sauce Dried Stir Fried Lamb with Cumin I liked all four of the items we ordered. What you see on the menu is what you get. I specially really enjoyed the Grouper in Sweet and Sour Sauce. The presentation of the item didn't look amazing but the taste was absolutely 10/10. The Dried Stir Fried Lamb with Cumin was also very flavorful and paired well with rice! *** S E R V I C E *** The food came out pretty fast. If you have leftovers, they would pack it for you.

    This is one of the perfect 3.5 places, iykyk. My coworker and I are trying ever place in the plaza as there's so many we haven't tried. Starting from the left Shanghai was first. The best recommendation I can give to a place is that I want to take my mom there. They definitely get that stamp. I'm a little disappointed we didn't bring more people as there's so many items we can't wait to try. Since it was our first time we went simple. With beef wrapped in bean curd, mapo tofu, and cabbage with mushrooms. The blend of these items was incredible. There are so many options on the menu and we can't wait to try them all. Service is what you would expect in a place like this and I wouldn't want it to change. Everything is clean inside, but not much space. I'm giving it a 4 star to not throw off the metics but if you read this you know they hit it out of the park.

    Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 3/5 Solid 4 Stars! Food was so yummy. Ordered Dry stir fried lamb with cumin and I believe Home style sautéed pork with vegetables. And side of rice. Delicious lamb dish. Enough food that we had it for dinner as well. Service was fast! This is far from my house but I will drive for their delicious food! Can't wait to try other dishes that I've marked on their menu.

    Take it from a Hong Kong kid...these are seriously legit zongzi that taste just like the cantonese…read moreones I grew up with. Definitely above your typical market rates, but I promise these will be true to the OG flavors. It's mostly a food pick-up type of service where you walk up to a shared space and ring a doorbell to have an aunty bring out your stuff. Online ordering was how I did it, but you can also call/text an order over the phone. The ordering process is a bit unusual in that you have to plan these ahead of time (by about 3-days or so depending on time of week) then wait for a confirmation text on the day of. Unfortunately, impromptu cravings must likely be held at bay. Sometimes you can short-notice stuff if they have leftovers, but that's defintely a gamble. With either planning or luck, you'll then walk off with a hefty bag of deliciousness. You can have the option of getting them freshly cooked or frozen (for stocking up). The zongzi are well packaged and tightly wrapped with color-codings to the string to separate the fillings from each other. It's a bit cryptic, but you'll notice those correspond with the pictures on their ordering site. Descriptions of the fillings are true to their amount and pretty well packed with goodness (none of the mostly-rice-zongzi here). After cracking the first one open and taking my first bite, it was like that Ratatouille moment with Anton having flashbacks to his childhood (but like the Chinese version). Filled with delicious aromas and rich succulent glory, with not a dry spot in (culinary) sight. If that hasn't convinced you to at least try these buggers, I'm not sure what will!

    Honestly my expectations were super high given the price, but you just can't get this homemade…read moredelicious thing anywhere. They have it at some dim sum bakeries but it's usually just rice with a small piece of pork or sausage and maybe some peanuts. The website says to order 2 days in advance but luckily she made extra! I got 6 orders and shared with my family, they all agreed it is better than anything we've had as a kid and man is it packed from corner to corner with pork belly, salted egg, chestnut, and mushroom! It is pricey, but what isn't nowadays?

This dish was bursting with flavors from the spices and herbs and the combination of chicken, squid, and pork intestine. It's a good blend of flavors. The beef noodle soup had the al dente noodle, but I was not that impressed with the broth. It tasted a little plain for my liking. My son and hubby enjoyed it a lot and almost finished the huge bowl. This was our first time at this restaurant. It was great to see how efficient the whole restaurant operated. It was busy throughout our visit. Non-stop walk-ins for dine-in and takeout customers. We were fortunate to be there just before 12nn to beat the line-ups. They say that they open at 12nn but they start letting patrons in way earlier. Would love to go back to try their other dishes.

My friend ordered the pork knuckle over rice had a large portion of minced pork , and extra vegetables ,plus rice .

    More Than Bento is a hit or miss experience here. It's really just your average Taiwanese bento box…read morespot compared to most other competitors who would easily get a 4-5 stars rating for Taiwanese cuisine. Most people order takeouts. Cashier was multitasking. Self service kiosk is convenient. It's a different feeling here. Order took awhile to come out, so prepare for the wait time. Note, the item photos on the menu may not look exactly what you thought you may be getting though. Keep that in mind. Yes, I ordered the Chestnuts and Chicken Stew Bento $15.99 with an egg $1.99 and bottled water for Dine-In. I left 12% tips. Unfortunately, my meal didn't have the tomato eggs stir fry nor same veggie options from the image. Instead, it was substituted with canned corn/beans/hash brown which tasted a bit sour or expired/mold taste and cabbage with vermicelli mix. It even came with an egg (I wouldn't have purchased another egg for $1.99 if I knew this meal came with an egg). More calories and carbohydrates. Totally different than the pictures/a bit disappointed. Plus, the chicken was so old/dry/tasted like it's been in a crockpot for days. This bento box surprised me today. Menu selections are decent though. Again, More Than Bento just set a different impression for my lunch appetite. I would likely go elsewhere for a much better bento box fix in future. Room for improvement. The sour/moldy taste of the canned veggies was not what I planned to eat in public. It's a good spot for new/young people or teenagers/afterschool meals, but it didn't meet my dining expectations. Food portions are huge though. Each experience may be different. Hit or miss for sure.
