Shanghai Kitchen is serving up reliable, classic American-Chinese dishes that are exactly what you expect. Because it is generic, I cannot endorse a five-star, but please be aware they are consistent and reliable, serving to the expectations of the masses. To be fair, we frequent Shanghai Kitchen about every 6 weeks when we want close Chinese food and are too lazy to cook. Their prices are fair and the kitchen is efficient, even with large orders. Just do not expect to be introduced to anything innovative or with a "wow factor.". There is value in that. read more

I'm glad that there's a pretty good Chinese restaurant in this area. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the food. It's nothing spectacular but the food is good and the Chinese menu is authentic. They do have 2 separate menus where there's one with the traditional Chinese American dishes and one that's catered towards more traditional Chinese meals. The greens were quite good. It did have a lot of stems and I'm not a stem girl so it was a bit much for me. The fried intestines were very tasty along with the braised pork belly and fried fish in black bean sauce. Service was fine. Food came out quick. Place has lots of seating. It did look like they had a larger room if you have a bigger party and need reservations for. read more

One of the few places that never disappointed was Shanghai Kitchen in Greenwood Village. Time truly flied, cannot believe it has been here for almost 30 years. Liked its old Shanghai scene decor, the authenticity of its dishes and story of Chef Zhou's culinary journey. Here were some of the dishes ordered during a recent trip there, including dynasty fish with pine nuts, pork meatballs, salt and pepper shrimps, smoked fish, vegetable triple delight and Shanghai braised bean curd, as well as Chef Zhou's new braised pork belly with pickled vegetable buns. For people who like noodle soup, the pork meatball and pickled vegetable noodle soup was also quite tasty. read more

Food is great! No need to go all the way to china town or federal way. Service is great also, fast and very nice servers, they accommodate all our needs. And the best thing is because they open for business until 9:30pm! and they have a good private room for 10-12 people. I will give 5 stars!! read more

Top of the line Chinese cuisine. Comfortable dining room, good service and reasonably priced

It's nice to have a go-to restaurant in your direct vicinity and I must say that this Chinese restaurant is one of them (although I don't utilize it enough.) A few days ago, a little past 9pm (on Christmas Eve to be exact), on my way to go to a friend's house, I stopped here to get me a few items. There was one group of people (the last diner of the night) that was finishing off their late night meal. Other than that, I appeared to be the last customer for the night. The lady that greeted me asked me if it was for a dine in or to-go (wonder if she would have accepted me had I said dine in? Not sure.) I immediately responded, "To-go, please." Like I stated earlier I only wanted a few items (a few sides.) I got me the pork dumplings and the veggies egg rolls. The lady said it'd be 5 min. While waiting, I looked around the dining room and took a few photos. Nicely dimmed lights, each dining table was neatly arranged/set. Very clean and inviting. I like the bright red napkins. This restaurant appears to have received several accolades in the past (there are frames magazine articles on one of the walls.) As promised, it was about 5 minutes before my food was ready. A different lady gave me a bag that contained my food with a nice smile. Service is good here. I didn't eat the food until next day. Sometimes there is a huge difference between eating it fresh or a day old so I'll be fair with this review based on the fact that I ate it when the food was half day old. Overall, both of them were good. To be frank, when it comes to dumplings or potstickers, I prefer them to be pan-fried to be deep fried. I wonder if they ever make them pan-fried or even steamed. This will be a little request I'll be sure to make upon my next visit for sure. The veggie egg rolls were a bit small for the price. Tasted good however. I really need to try their main dishes in the future. Then I'll be able to elaborate more on their food in a real sense. Until then my hon/frank rating shall be 3-stat. read more

We order take out here often. The online ordering is not great but they're super quick and helpful when we call to place our order over the phone. We're suckers for lomein, orange chicken, and the fried chili pepper chicken. I also love their soup dumpling. Always hits the spot! read more

Family in town so we stopped by for dinner on a weeknight and it was packed. Everything we tried was good- garlic shrimp, eggplant w pork, sweet pork ribs, and salt and pepper fried fish. Next time will try the more authentic Shanghainese dishes. Service was quick and served family style. read more

We've been eating at your awesome restaurant, that is so lovely and clean inside, for years now. The staff is so pleasant and helpful. The hot & sour soup, xiao long bai dumplings and basil eggplant are marvelous and I have become addicted to your fish in hot chili oil. We will continue to enjoy your restaurant regularly. read more

Shanghai Kitchen serves up some extremely delicious food, especially if you like Szechuan style food. The Szechuan style green beans are a must try. Their flavor will be what brings you back to Shanghai Kitchen over and over. I have tried many of the dishes in the menu and can highly recommend the Szechuan Style Triple Delight and the Orange Chicken. The service is always attentive and the restaurant itself is comfortable offering booth and table seating. I would suggest dining in as the times we have ordered food for take out have been underwhelming. read more

Shanghai Kitchen is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to. The food tastes incredibly fresh and authentic, and every dish we ordered was full of flavor. The salt and pepper shrimp was perfectly crispy, the Mongolian beef was tender and savory, and the scallion pancakes were some of the best I've had. read more

I hadn't been here in five years. The service was decent They forgot to give me my egg roll. I ordered the schezwan beef and it was beyond salty. read more

While waiting for our to-go order, we munched on Xiao Long Bao (XLB), because, it would be sacrilege to not eat XLB hot and fresh out of the steamer! My mom, a true Shanghainese, said Shanghai Kitchen's XLB is pretty authentic. She especially liked that the meat filling wasn't too fatty. That's not to say the bun didn't contain enough soup, though. I thought it tasted great. My tongue is still burning a couple of days later from eating it while it's piping hot, but it's worth it! Our to-go foods stayed warm thanks to the meticulous packaging (they would tape down lids to make sure nothing leaks!) The Lion's Heads meatballs are impressing, bigger than my fists! So don't be stingy, share with someone so you both have room to try more stuff! We adored that night's special dish: ginger and scallion crabs stir fried with rice cakes, so so yummy and filling. The portion was huge and you would think there would be more rice cakes than crabs (as the former is cheaper) but Shanghai Kitchen is way more generous with their crabs! The sweet and sour fish steaks were more Americanized than Chinese, it's not bad, but next time I'm ready to dine in, I'll order the whole fish in sweet and sour sauce. I'm sure it'll be way better! read more

I honestly didn't know what to expect when it comes to Shanghai food in Denver area - not many restaurants have been able to do SH food justice imho. I'm impressed by this place!

Decor is very Shanghai bund like. Shang means upper and Hai means ocean. So the cuisine of Upper Ocean is sweet and it's also the birthplace of Xiaolongbao. The Chinese menu here is precise and focused with Chinese and English translation. The Americanized dishes look good too. read more

All of the food was delicious and fresh! Sweet and sour chicken was super crispy and the sauce didn't have that metallic flavor most Chinese places do. The crab rangoons were stuffed with delicious filling. Definitely did not skimp on the filling. Shrimp fried rice and chicken lo mein were both flavorful and authentic. They even gave us a free bowl of sweet and sour soup which was amazing! My go to place for Chinese food now. read more

Shanghai Kitchen - Edamame - Dim Sum Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

Authentic shanghai cuisine in north DTC. This is my go to Chinese restaurant since it's so close, and the food is so delicious. They have an authentic menu with English and Chinese to accommodate for those who need either languages. I would skip the sesame chicken and Mongolian beef and try out the kitchen specials. I highly recommend the braised pork belly, minced beef soup, and the spicy beef tendons. If you're feeling even more adventurous, go for a big pot of red chili peppers and salted fish. This place has an incredible range of Chinese dishes from all parts of China. The restaurant atmosphere is very inviting, and the servers are kind. Service is usually fast unless it gets busy, which it typically does around dinner time. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area or want to try some delicious Chinese cuisine! read more

DO NOT ORDER THE GARLIC HONEY CHICKEN - it is deep fried, and when I mean deep fried, I mean the chicken had a 1cm layer of fried dough around it that made it taste like a funnel cake. All of the fried morsels were sitting in a soup bowl of what I assume was butter or some other form of oil. I'm from the south and enjoy the occasional funnel cake, but it would've been nice if there was ANY warning about this on the menu. Nasty, and made me feel sick for the rest of the day. read more

Where to begin? First table seated of 11 tables by the time we left an hour later. Placed an order for $80 of food for two of us. We got the large egg drop soup and a glass of wine. It took three tries to get someone to track down white pepper for the soup. (No, that's salt. That's sugar. That's Sweet N Low.) Had to ask twice for the hot tea before finally setting a fresh pot (+) that was so fresh it was still basically water (-). After watching three other tables and countless to-go orders get picked up, we left a $20 on the table and went to Pho 75, which was ready in 15 min. For some reason Yelp refuses to let me leave one star. read more

A very nice experience. We had a combination of dishes from the traditional menu, and each was prepared with fresh and well proportioned ingredients. Of note was the tofu and bamboo dish that was tender and lightly seasoned. The dynasty fish was also tender and notable. The chef knows his craft. read more

The chicken corn soup is thick as paste read more

This place has been on my 'to try' list for quite a while. Me and The Hubs tried it recently for 'date night' and I'm kicking myself that we didn't come here sooner. Wow! The food is good! We ordered mostly from the 'Chinese Special' section of the menu and were not disappointed. I think we ordered five different things, including soup, and everything was fabulous! We ordered Mustard Green Fish, Pork with Bamboo and Bean Curd, Chinese Broccoli, Hong Kong Noodles, and a soup that I can't remember. We did have a lot of leftovers to take home, but that was intentional. We had great lunches for the next two days! This was a great find and has the best Chinese food I've found so far since moving to Colorado. And the service was super-friendly. We will definitely be back! BTW - they have a full bar! read more

Authentic Chinese dishes with lots of menu options. Tried the dumplings appetizer and it was very flavorful. The Hong Kong combination noodles is also very good with lots of chicken ,beef and shrimps. Will have to come back to try out more read more

I didn't expect to have very traditional Shanghai style food in Denver, at least I couldn't find one in Dallas. When I came to ski this year, I just did a random search and found this restaurant in Denver which offers "shredded fresh water eel". It is a very authentic dish and many people in China grew up eating it, but it was so hard to find in the US. I really like the food, and this small restaurant in a city with not so many Chinese people indeed impressed me! read more

Shanghai Kitchen - 马兰头，腌笃鲜，熏鱼，响油鳝丝 - Dim Sum Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

Excellent place for various reasons: 1. Nice ambient environment that is not too bright or too dark. Music is nice, jazzy, not the cheesy Chinese traditional in the back 2. Chef is Shanghainese, how much more authentic can this place get? 3. Food is amazing and verified authentic by my parents who are from Shanghai. Picky as usual but if they are satisfied that says a lot about this place. I've read some critical comments here and really if you want good food you have to know what to order. If you order food that sounds like what you find at PF Changs or your local frozen food section orange chicken, come on, what do you expect? Ask for recommendations before you order!!! read more

We ordered two entrees and one app at 5:45 and were told that it would take an hour and a half for pick up to be ready. Since it was Christmas, I understood that it would be busy, so we agreed to this. I showed up at 7:30, to a huge line of people, and was told my order would take another 1 to 2 hours to make. I went home, and when I tried to call to ask about my order an hour later, the phone was busy. I showed up at 9:00, and I did not receive my order until 9:48. The food is fine. The veggie lo mein was a little under seasoned, the black bean spareribs were adequate. The cream cheese wontons were fine. However, if the wait is going to be longer than the customer was told, I would recommend that they have a callback system to inform customers of this. I tried to ask if I would receive a notification when I first placed the order, and I was told just to show up. Since I had to wait a total of 4 hours to receive my order, I would expect to be compensated with a free meal, or have my meal be discounted at least. Like just a thought. After all, the guy filling orders at the front said that multiple people did not pick up their orders, and he was taking home lots of food. Overall, I am disappointed that this establishment has zero communication with customers. As the "best Chinese restaurant in Denver," I expect better. read more
