It showed the hours open are 11 went there twice door closed phone goes to recording the message box is full try later. Tried again yesterday drove got there at 11:45 doors closed could hear the phone ringing same message no answer, waited till 12:30 no one came to open the door and noone answered. I will not recommend this place as their hours of operations are not what they advertise read more

Take out food is pretty good, no complaints here. BUT you have to wait like 10 minutes for someone to come out of the kitchen to take your order even if there is no one else waiting. Not a deal breaker but sure is a pain. read more

Great value, great service, get two days of dinners from one order. I would recommend the orange chicken and the Mongolian chicken.

We ordered the Kung Pao shrimp, Garlic chicken, Szechwan green beans, Crab Rangoon, Vegetable fried rice, Chicken potstickers, Singapore rice noodles, and Mongolian beef. All entrees come with a take-out carton of white rice. I think the large entree comes with a large take-out carton of white rice. Large portions, fresh, and delicious! The Kung Pao Shrimp, Garlic Chicken, and Szechwan green beans are spicy, but not too spicy. Shanghai Garden on Vernon in Glencoe is open on Christmas Day, which is nice. Mostly a take- out restaurant, but there is 1-2 booth seating for 4. Posting new menu photos to update on Yelp since I was looking at older menu photos and it is always helpful to see a recent menu. read more

This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer's Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable. My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can't dine in the restaurant though, as they don't have a dining license. 9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces. The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service-- I would love to return if I'm in the area again! -- Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: N/A Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5 read more

Shanghai Garden - Walnut Shrimp & Green Beans - Chinese Near Me - Glencoe, Illinois

Shanghai garden in Glencoe makes the most delicious ( not too salty and not too thick sauces) Chinese food! Each dish is freshly prepared to your liking. I have eaten there since they opened. It's a little jewel for carry out only on the northshore. read more

This is a delicious no-frills Chinese takeout place. I've tried many of the lunch specials and Mongolian Chicken is my favorite so far but they've all been pretty good. Good portion sizes -- I split one order into two meals. Sometimes they go heavy on the sauce. Service is always prompt and friendly. Typical chinese restaurant ambiance with tasteful decor, plants, old magazines, and one table that you can eat at if you really want to but I'm sure they prefer you take your food and go. Prices are fair and they don't hound for tips. read more

So my neighbors raved about this place. I won't be taking on their suggestion however as much as I love them LOL. From all the reviews I was forewarned about the inordinate amount of time from order to pickup. I didn't experience that but got the food pretty quickly made. Pros: fried tempura shrimp were good, crispy and flavorful. But then again, how do u F up fried food. Beef with broccoli was tasty and had lots of fresh, and not over cooked veggies. Kudos to this. Cons: pot stickers were gummy and had too much dough. Filling was meh. Chicken fried rice was unappealing and not enough veggies. Not one bean sprout in site. I so wanted to patronize this establishment as the lady at the counter was hussling to get all the pickup orders and she was friendly enough. Unfortunately I still need to keep searching. One reviewer said there's no such thing as good Chinese food on the North Shore. I think he's right! read more

great take out chinese food. always reliable. great egg fu yung, egg rolls, steamed pork dumplings!

Love this place! The food is so good. We've ordered here several times, and each time has been better than the last. Just be sure not to walk in to the sandwich place next door by mistake. Yikes! Not friendly. People at Shanghai Garden are so nice by comparison. read more

I was a little worried about them when they first opened and I stopped in on a Sunday evening to order a won ton soup (nothing else). They informed me it would be a few hours...for soup! A few days later I called at 4:30pm for a Friday night dinner and they had it ready by 5:15pm. And then several weeks later (this evening) I called at 5:30pm and they told me my order, which included way more the soup, would be ready in just 15 minutes. So I think they have their service issues under control..phew! I've yet to find amazing Chinese food in Chicagoland, but I actually think their food is pretty good. I've now tried a few different things on the menu and everything is tasty. My go to healthy option is the shrimp and broccoli. And my husband is really liking the (not as healthy) mongolian beef. I"m thrilled to have another good takeout option in the hood and love that they also have some healthy options on their menu! read more

Good Food, fresh ingredients, same location for years. Nice to enjoy this under rated culinary amenity in our neighborhood!

Nothing short of Shanghai! After eating here I'll be saying Shangbye to Shanghai (because the food was so good) and saying more ShangHIs to all the workers! WORD PLAY ! Anyways despite popular opinion I actually loved the potstickers! U know me when I see a doughy bun I'm all in! But if dough ain't ur thing don't u worry there are plenty of hidden gems on the menu. A full secret garden of them u could say! So grab ur car keys and go go go because Shanghai garden is amazing! read more

The food was delicious. It was just not clear about their menu; there were none at the restaurant so there were discrepancies between what I saw online and what I was told I could order. While waiting 12 year olds came in and out with ice cream bars and I couldn't see where they got them from. Glencoe is bizarre. read more

Ordered for pickup. Husband was wanting Chinese: ordered potstickers, egg rolls, orange "beef," some noodle and "chicken" and the eggplant dish. We filled our plates, and were VERY disappointed. The meat did not taste like meat...maybe some ground up version. Anyway, we tied it all up in a plastic bag and threw it away. Tasteless as well even though covered in sweet sauces. That's our opinion. Others may differ. read more

Food is delicious Wide variety of menu items Will adjust ingredients to suit your needs and allergies read more

This is possibly the most disappointing restaurant experience of my life. I used to come Chin's on a weekly basis and was crushed when they shut down. I was intrigued when the space was taken over by another Chinese restaurant, and I loved the fact that the entirety of their redo consisted of removing Chin's dead house plants. I'm serious. I just want things to stay the same. So I yelped Shanghai garden and discovered that the new owners did not consider customer service part of the dining experience. I was disappointed but I made my peace and bid farewell to Chin's. Fast forward two years and my friend, another native Glencoan insisted I stop bitching about Chin's and try Shanghai Garden. "The food is exactly the same" he dared to say. My previous order at Chin's was almost always Cantonese noodles and pot stickers. I don't remember the price for the stickers, but the noodles were 0.75c. And this was until like 2017-28. I think it was the best food value on the north shore, and it was delicious to boot. This time I ordered the crispy noodles (Cantonese is no longer an option) and potstickers. The noodles were from a can. Hard, dry, nasty. Can't say I've ever had a good canned noodle. Some might say this is something which just shouldn't exist. The potstickers were all about the dough. Not good. So congratulations Shanghai Garden. You took over one on my favorite restaurants, kept the decor and menu basically the same, but holy shit you managed to mess it up. Chin's just died for me the second time. read more

Let's be honest - there's no real outstanding Chinese food up in the North Shore. However, after trying a lot of places, this is the least worse. Compared to other restaurants, it wasn't overly greasy. The food was decent. No real complaints about the quality, per se. The pricing was just confusing, as everything on the receipt said "custom price" and seemed rather expensive. Plus I think the sesame chicken I ordered wasn't on the menu, so they just slapped a price to it. I also asked for 4 dumplings, and they gave me 4 ORDERS...of 10 each. 40 in total. Be sure there is no miscommunication or you'll pay the fee. read more

The food is mediocre but it's convenient. You should add 30 minutes to time they tell you to pick up. They are always behind and aren't apologetic. Glencoe needs a better Chinese spot. Come on Shanghai Garden! read more

I feel so unbelievably mixed about this restaurant. The food we ordered was very good. However the order was ready about 55 minutes after the promised pick up time. 6 different people sat around waiting with me. It was a Tuesday night. I suspect there is 1 cook in the back with 1 pan and 1 woman in the front who pitches in by packing the food. The food is good because it is freshly made. They obviously are not precooking. They need a better system. Most people who are picking up live nearby. If they texted me with a 5 minute warning before it was ready, I wouldn't have wasted an hour of my life. I would not have been mad. I could have even waited it out at comfortable guildhall down the road instead of standing by the front desk. This reminds me of a college expression "I'll buy, you fly" where you would pay for the round of drinks but your friend would fight their way to the bartender. If I could find a friend to "fly", I would be back much sooner because the food really is good. read more

I love their egg rolls. They remind me of Kow Kow that was in Lincolnwood and close about a decade ago. Food is consistent "old school" Chinese food. I always get the Pepper Tomato Beef. Very convenient local food. read more

Wow, the reviews do not match our experience. We really wanted the KungBao Chicken - and ordered it. Unfortunately, it was as tasteless as anything I have probably ever eaten in my entire life. It was exactly the same as the other chicken dish we ordered - chicken with Broccoli. Even a little self administered red pepper flake couldn't wake up the dish. I searched in vain for the typical red pepper pods - and nothing. If possible, the steamed pot stickers were worse. The outer dumpling was so thick it could have been an empanada. In fairness, the tiny amount of pork filling was well flavored. We had never tried Shanghai Garden in our 25 years on the north shore and we hope to never return. read more

Best Chinese food that I've had on the north shore. The Empress Chicken is a favorite in our household, but I also recommend the Shrimp Egg Foo Young. read more

Good as always good. We really enjoy the taste. Friendly and always done on time. Place is inviting

Quite possibly my favorite Chinese place on the North Shore. The food is awesome and it's a welcome addition after losing a staple like Chin's. The prices are amazingly reasonable and the food is all really good. The one fairly large problem they have is they have no idea how to manage a kitchen. They'll tell you your order will be ready at 7 and it won't be ready until 7:45. You'll be waiting with many other confused patrons for your food. They need to hire another person to help manage the kitchen and get the orders ready. The fact that I'm still giving it 4 stars and keep going here and waiting long waits speaks to how good the food is though. read more

Amazing quality food and great prices!!! This is a great example of what the Chicago land area has to offer for excellent Chinese food!

Good neighborhood Chinese take out. Stopped in several times. Enjoyed the Hot and Sour soup and Egg Drop soup. Liked several of the chicken dishes too. Will definitely return. read more

This little gem replaced another Chinese take out. They have generous portions and the food is consistently good. Hot and sour soup is a perfect way to warm up on a cold winter day. Love the mu shu chicken. Full of chicken breast meat and veggies. Everything thing we have ordered has been great. The owner does not speak English very well but has never made a mistake with an order. The food is ready quickly for pick up. read more

The food was very bland, had no flavor. The pot stickers were doughy and soft (even after I asked for well done).

We couldn't even order food because the service is so bad. They need to staff up on the weekends or the place likely won't last too long. I have heard the food is good, but without the ability to order (waited for 15 minutes and the woman was in back the entire time) who knows. They were not answering calls as well. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Many great options and always fresh and delicious. Wonton and egg drop soups are favs, the Mongolian triple is awesome, shrimp fried rice is amazing. read more

Food is delicious and quick. Hard to find good Chinese on the North Shore. Love fried rice, egg foo young, egg rolls...Cheers!

Very happy to finally have a great Chinese resto in the neighborhood. Have tried them several times and our experience has been consistent: - good food: fresh & not salty (although we did specify). - good selection: pleasantly surprised that they have nice vegetarian options that are beyond the typical. Also have weight watchers options. - the time frame they gave us for take out was 20 min which is reasonable. Food was packed ready to go when we got there. They also packaged the food well. - price very reasonable. Definitely becoming a regular! read more

Enjoy the vegetable tofu Kang pao and veggie chow mein. Portions are good and tasty. Definitely coming back.

5 stars because it's good Chinese takeout for the burbs. The person who took our order and the delivery driver were both very nice. Food was hot and on time, order was correct. Doesn't hit the spot quite like some of my favorites in the city but I'm very glad it's here! read more

Really delicious food, the veggies all tasted very fresh and the flavors were authentic and tasty.

Hey there, just wanted to say, please be weary of your egg-rolls. My coworker offered me his egg-roll from his lunch special and when I took a bite, I noticed the shrimp had not been properly deveined; meaning there was waste in my food. read more

I have eat at or gotten carry out at a lot of Chinese restaurants. I have to say this is a great restaurant. You can get no msg on a lot of their foods which is great. The food is flavorful, deliciousness. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

This place has great food and prices. but services are declining after less than one year. no delivery and it sounds pithy but no more brown rice "ever" said owner. lately she often gets orders wrong as well. every other rest. in area gets orders right and the brown rice things seems to be a basic. they only send small amount of white rice for two entree's. weird! may have to go back to yummy Bowl. Ugh! read more

We ordered the other day at 8:30 and it was two women in the restaurant. It was so fresh and so delicious I would have waited hours for it. As it was we waited 1/2 hour like she said. This is the most delicious Chinese food north of Chinatown and we've tried them all! Thank you for opening here in town, I will order often. I understand your a new business and it will take a bit for you to settle in. Glencoe people that haven't tried - so completely yummy!!! read more
