Trying out this place with new ownership. Ordered some vegetarian, fish and meats. Service is superb. Food is delicious. Ordered some spicy dishes. Too bad I can't have spicy but my wife and friends confirmed it's also delicious. Going to take their word for it. This is a well lit restaurant. It's spacious and there's ample room between tables. It's very clean. Very comfortable atmosphere. Menu is easy to read and there's lots of pictures so you feel comfortable when ordering. Lots of parking in immediate lot and on the street. I definitely will come back and definitely will recommend this place. Give it a try read more

Happy Friday!! Allen and I came here after a longggg but exciting day! Parking: this plaza is getting better with the parking situation? However, be wary of bad parkers... We waited about 20 minutes before we were seated. This place is a mad house! Lots of to-gos, and also pretty stuffy. Service: pretty hilarious. We were sitting right next to the cash register, so the grandma who was running the show was monitoring my every move. (ie: *going to bathroom* "Where you goin'?!") Menu: really extensive! Prices are pretty good too! Between the two of us (don't copy us, kids), we ended up ordering (the names are not correct...please refer to picture): 1) Green beans with minced pork // +1 Big portion! -1 Too oily/salty for my liking. Definitely need to rinse it off before consuming. 2) Chef Zhou's special tofu // +1 YUM!! Allen and I loved this. The tofu was hella crispy...just like the texture of stinky tofu minus the stench. +/-1 Chef Zhou's in PA adds mushroom in their cornstarch mix. I wish they had some more toppings in this dish! +1 HUGE PORTION! Bring some back home for sure. 3) Stir-fry lamb with onions // -1 Lamb was okay- tasted like hot pot meat that was really dried out, and then stir fried. 4) Shanghai thick stir-fry noodle // +1 Allen liked this! Also a very classic Shanghainese dish. +1 Love how THICC the noodles are! Definitely yummy for leftovers. 5) 1 order of XLB // +1 Oh yay! Really fresh! Also, lotsa juice inside, so be careful of bursting the skin! Overall, had a good time here! Would definitely come here for hefty portions of Chinese food. You'll definitely bring home lots of leftovers! read more

Found a nice little spot in Milpitas Square to grab a quick lunch with my parents. We tried a few dishes and it was better than I expected. Parking: free parking lot parking. We tried a few different dishes since it was our first time there and we don't find out that way often. We ordered the wonton soup, large version, not the small ones. At first, I thought they meant size of the order, but I was wrong. When they ask large or small, they meant the type of wonton. I guess the "large" ones has more ingredients and meat. It was ok. The soup had seaweed in it, which was tasty. Reminded me of the seaweed soup my parents made at home. But the wontons itself seem to lack some flavor. Maybe because I'm used to the "fresh" taste that shrimp gives in wontons, so I wasn't used to it without. (These don't contain shrimp, at least not that we saw) May not get this dish again. It wasn't bad, just not to our liking. The Shanghai stir fried thick noodles was good, but a bit too salty. Think they added too much soy sauce. Maybe because it was so busy that they accidentally splashed in too much sauce. It was fine tho, still good. The steamed juicy dumplings were ok. Not much juice inside and not too flavorful. But since they served it with the black vinegar, I ate it well. Haha! It's the vinegar that helps. Glad they served it with the black vinegar and not the red type like many dim sum spots do. ‍ We tried the large pork balls with crab sauce. Very nice. The pork mixture was very very tender & juicy. Cooked perfectly. The seafood sweetness the crab sauce gave was very tasty with the meat. Make sure to add a few spoonfuls of sauce over your meatball as you eat it! The fried fishes was also good. Don't remember the name but it was like 5-6 small fishes that were deep fried and seasoned. Crispy. Yummy! Next time we come back to the area, think we will come back and try other dishes as well. They have a large assortment to choose from. Can't wait! read more

ShangHai foods have a special place in our hearts and we always check out several key dishes when we come to a new one. First, obviously, is XiaoLongBao (小籠包). Theirs were pretty good. The shell was thin, the juice was hot, and the filling flavor good. I would really like the ginger/vinegar to be better. Then we have the clay-pot veggie-rice (菜飯). The salty meat was just right, the veggie cooked to the right level, the rice well mixed. I was hoping for more crispy and slightly burnt rice at the bottom and found none. That meant it was not really cooked in the clay pot. Oh well. We also ordered fish tails (滑水). The fish was trimmed properly, and cooked just right (fried and sauced), and the sauce at the right sweet/salty balance. Overall, I was impressed. There are other dishes to check out next. read more

Handmade noodles and dumplings! This place is pretty good, but the wait for this could take 30+ minutes. Interior: - Small, just about 12 tables - Definitely a Shanghainese vibe (all the workers speak Mandarin) We ordered: - Pan Fried Pork Bun (6 pieces for $8.95) Loved this! Crispy exterior, juicy interior. This takes the longest to make (~20 minutes), so it would be a good idea to order this first. - Pork Dumplings (8 pieces for $8.95) The dumplings are freshly wrapped and made when you order it. The skin is so soft and tender, so be careful when picking it up and taking your first bite! The soup may squirt once you take a bite - it's extremely hot! - Braised Beef Noodle Soup ($10.25) This comes in a really big bowl with tons of soup (in my opinion, a little too much soup that it looks like there aren't that many noodles), but there are tons of noodles underneath. It also comes with a broiled egg and Chinese pickles on the side. Overall, despite the wait, I would recommend trying this place if you're around the area. The skin for the dumplings are definitely fresh and has a homemade quality to it. FYI - parking can be really bad on the weekends!! read more

The dry cumin with lamb and rice is such a bOMB dot com. Service was Slightly slow (and I mean like five to ten minutes between dishes coming out but it was during lunch rush so understandable). I would LOVE to try the boiled fish next time. Just wish my Chinese was good enough to read the menu faster LOL read more

My mom really wanted to come eat here for the duck soup so we ended up coming to this plaza. We ordered quite a few things, green onion pancake, XLB, fried crispy shrimp, duck soup, spicy chicken, veggie fried rice in a clay pot, shanghai noodle, and eggplant stir fry. All in all, dishes were okay. Portions were on the larger side. My favorite dish was the soup, followed by the shanghai noodles.We substituted the pork in the noodle to be chicken. Overall the noodles were good, but a bit too oily and wished it was a little sweeter. Service was okay. The green onion pancake wasn't very hot or fresh. This place is located in a plaza and there were plenty of saying don't leave anything in your car as there are plenty of auto theft and car smashing. Overall, place is okay, I didn't think it was amazing, the food was mediocre, service was average. read more

My dad and I came here to eat on a Friday and this place was busy. They told us to sit at a big table to wait for a table to open up. A couple came and sat with us and it might have been awkward; however, our table was cleaned up and we were seated there. The interior had a lot of pictures of food from the menu with their menu number. We ordered H12 Cured Pork with Garlic Sauce ($11.95), D7 Radish Sirloin Pot ($13.95), I1 Shanghai Style Steam Juicy Pork Buns ($7.95), and I27 Beef Noodle Soup ($9.95). The food came out after a few minutes. The H12 Cured Pork with Garlic Sauce was good and had the smoked flavor. If you're not a fan of that then you should pass on this. The cured pork was pretty much the Chinese bacon. The D7 Radish Sirloin Pot was tasty and good with rice. It would greatly improve the Beef Noodle Soup, but I will get to that. The I1 Shanghai Style Juicy Pork Buns were not bad even though there were other places with better XLB. The I27 Beef Noodle Soup was not good and the flavor of the broth was very light. The noodles were just okay. The Radish Sirloin Pot would have added more flavor if that was in it. I would not recommend the Beef Noodle Soup. Overall, this place had good Shanghai style food and would recommend checking it out. read more

The price was not bad, however, the food were not that great, several dishes were very salty. Taste were not very authentic.

This restaurant is a hidden gem of ridiculous of amount of other restaurant in the McCarthy Ranch plaza. The staff was very tentative and very nice. The food was delicious and brings back a lot of memories from my aunties and uncle who are Shanghainese. The portion is very generous and I can't really say anything negative about this place. It is definitely a hidden gem and will be back! read more

12/11/2019 - Looks like the menu was recently updated (no more red bean dessert!). The food is good and authentic. The veggies are fresh and have a good snap, and the soup tastes clean (not heavy or oily). I love the texture of the Shanghai noodles! They're thick and al dente, but I would not recommend the xlb. The juice is fatty, and the skin is too thick. Bonus - in a shopping center with lots of Asian shops (boba, Ranch $.99, boutique s read more

ordered their stir fry shanghai noodles. what i got was a major disappointment. It is not the usual stir fry shanghai noodles i have had, in fact, it was super bland - tasteless. I had to go back home and recook it to add more flavor. yes the price was decent but the product was not. needless to say that if they can't even prepare the stir fry shanghai noodles correctly, their xiao long bao would probably won't be as great either. read more

Been eating here since before the pandemic, I have to say this place really held up their quality during this difficult time. Always friendly, fast service. Food are delicious and ingredients are fresh. Loved their combo. For $35.99 you get 3 dish, rice for two, and a soup for two. I believe it is enough to feed 3 people or family of 4 if you have small children. Have tried 4 out of the 7 combinations and was happy with all of them. read more

Great food just not enough quantity but overall it was great food. We will order again

Everything ordered was good. My favorite has got to be their rice cakes (Sauce was ABSOLUTELY good) and the mapo tofu which consists of tofu in a spicy sauce, typically based on 豆豉 and 豆瓣. It also consist of minced meat which is typically either beef or pork. read more

It is the worst Chinese restaurant among those in this area. Worst taste ever. What is more, do remember to write down the amount of the tip on the bill, otherwise prepare to pay more if you only specify the total amount. (I got $66 bill when I clearly remember I have left $60). FINAL update: contacted with the shop owner and he sent me the photo of my signed bill. It is absolutely a fraud since there is an obvious tweak on the "0" to made it to "6". I don't care about this $6, just want everyone know what kind of restaurant it is. If the owner disagree my review, just post the photo and prove that I am wrong. However, I doubt they dare to do so. 换中文写给同胞们看看，这家所谓上海菜是我吃过的最难吃的，那小笼包做得和烧麦一样，西湖牛肉羹基本就是辣糊汤，锅贴做得和韩国大馅儿饺子。最终55刀的账单上我没有单独写Tips，写了总额60，算是对得起这样的品质了,结果回国后信用卡账单上收到了66刀。垃圾饭店，难吃就算了，还敢篡改用户签单！ read more

Their spicy chicken wings are delightful. Also, really enjoy their chow mein--seems like hand pulled noodles. They are very good and very consistent. One of my kids favorite places for spicy chicken wings and stir fried noodles. Next time I'll order their hot pot pork belly, yum! read more

Fairly authentic Shanghainese dishes. A little on the salty side, though the taste is good.

I have been coming to this restaurant for many years and missed going to it during the pandemic but went there this week with a friend...all I can say is that the quality is as good as ever. So good in fact that my friend ordered the same lunch menu one more time.....to go!!!!....he wanted to have it again for dinner. Wonderful food. Very little spice and all the taste comes through instead of being drowned by too much spice. read more

I guess this place had potential but due to misunderstanding and/or lack of customer service, we never saw that potential. We clearly ordered the steamed XLBs off the menu (provided the number off the menu) but after they gave us the wrong menu item, pointed at the item above in the menu (which was potstickers, by the way) and then said that's what we ordered. Turns out, they ran out of the XLBs. So I'm inclined to think they gave us whatever was left. Also, they claimed we ordered potstickers so how come we got fried cabbage egg rolls? I may not be Chinese but I can tell the difference between potstickers and fried egg rolls, lol. Aaanywhoo they were pretty much non-apologetic and never brought out the replacement. The shanghai noodles were okay, and I've had many better hot and sour soups. I was disappointed since I wanted to try their XLBs and was never informed properly that they ran out or misunderstood our order (and ended up paying for seriously mediocre fried egg rolls). Boo! read more

This square in Milpitas has no shortage of Chinese restaurants, but Shanghai Delight turned out delightful indeed. When the bf initially suggested this restaurant, I was looking forward to XLB. All the other dishes arrived before the XLB, and this was actually or the better (more about this later). The DRUNKEN CHICKEN appetizer, a traditional Shanghaiese dish, was a nice start to the meal. Shanghai Delight made it quite well with a strong wine flavor and decent quality chicken. Next came the TOFU... definitely one of the best tofu dishes I've had recently. The exterior was fried to a unique papery crisp, coating the silky soft tofu inside. The overlay of the savory, mildly thick pork-based sauce directly contrasted the crispy tofu for a complex texture. The only caveat is that if it sits too long, the tofu starts to get soggy though it still tastes good (perhaps sauce on the side would make the most sense?) The CLAY POT RICE is popular, and we noticed several other parties ordering it. Good clay pot rice is few and far between, and Shanghai Delight did not disappoint with the warm, fluffy rice. Although I would have liked more of the crispy burnt rice at the bottom (like in dolsot bibimbap), I appreciated the high ratio of veggies and salted meat to rice, making a satisfying dish overall. Lastly, the XLB. I think my expectations for the restaurant had built up too high because all the dishes had been unexpectedly good, so naturally I thought the super Shanghaiese classic of XLB would be amazing. It turned out to be a disappointment because the meat was bland, and--an Asian American foodie's worst nightmare--the XLB arrived with the soup mostly leaked out of the dumplings! The paper was wet and the dumplings looked sad and deflated. It wasn't inedible, but just far from what XLB should be. Despite the XLB fiasco, overall I really liked all the other dishes of Shanghai Delight. The space and service were like that cozy local Chinese restaurants I grew up with. read more

Hand made noodles is excellent, fresh and bouncy. Dumplings are meaty and tasty. However, frozen dishes kept in refrigerator such as cucumbers, chicken, duck...etc. are not as fresh as they should be which can be improved! read more

I ordered the steamed pork buns (xiao long bao), homemade pot stickers, and the bean curd with greens and peas. I wasn't expecting the best, but I though the food was tasty. I got there right when they opened, so there weren't too many people eating, but I noticed a steady flow of take out orders. I thought my food wasn't too oily, which is a good thing. The pot stickers had a nice flavor to them. Again, I've had better xiao long bao, but these fulfilled my craving. I wish they provided me with dipping sauce though. I would say this is a solid place. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, and there is plenty of competition in the area. I would be curious to see how the noodle soups are....maybe on a cold rainy day I'll be back. read more

Wow the lamb dish here is really delicious! Perhaps it's because I used some Shanghainese with the staff, but my friend and I were both overall treated incredibly, and the servers repeatedly came to check on us, and bring more tea, and water. Absolutely delicious dinner, and fair price, for two people, two dishes, and two bowls of rice, in total was $37, including a $7 tip. Highly recommended for a Milpitas casual dinner! read more

I've definitely gone to better places, but this is a quaint hole in the wall .. I guess? SHANGHAI STYLE CHOW MEIN: This was not what I was expecting at all! The flavor was nice, but instead of it being a noodle I'm familiar with, the texture was dense and it tasted more like a rice cake. If you're familiar with Korean cuisine, it reminded me of tteokbokki. XLB: Got an order of these that had pork inside. Pretty standard, but the flavoring was Amazing. It would have been one of the best XLB I've had except there wasn't enough ~soup~ in it, so it was disappointing. The wrapper was also a lot more thick than other places I've been to. [Peep the dumpling list on my page tho :^)] ???: My party also got a wonton soup ordeal that just had that, I'm not quite sure what it was called but that was probably the best wonton I've had in my Life (sorry mom). The meat was flavorful, not salty, and the wrapper was just enough that it wasn't too much you feel me? The only thing I didn't like about this dish was the soup because it tasted different/wasn't something I was expecting. TLDR: I feel like we got another dish, but that probably shows this place isn't as memorable as I was expecting. 6/10 would come again - probably just for the wonton sans soup to be honest! read more
