My husband and I work in the area seasonally. We've been to this restaurant on many occasions…read more While the food has never been great it's passable, especially if you skip the combos and specials and order entrées instead. We went there last week. My husband ordered the wonton soup, which looked great... Except for the fly floating around in it. We discreetly brought it to the servers attention, upon which he nonchalantly asked if my husband would like another bowl. Yeah... Probably not. I paid for my entrée. But the weirdest thing was that there was absolutely no acknowledgment that there was an insect floating around in the soup. It's not like we expected some kind of groveling repentance, but a simple "I'm really sorry that happened. That's terrible blah blah" would have sufficed. But no. Sorry, Great Wall, but you've lost our business. Not that you care.

The food was also not well seasoned like 100s of past visits. My wife and I have been dining here since we bought our home in Seaside in 2015 and have always enjoyed New Garden Asian Cuisine's large portions of fresh food and fast service from Candy and her attentive staff. I have not seen Candy here in the last 3 months during 5-6 visits and I can easily attest that the food quality and service is "off" and we strongly suspect that this restaurant has changed ownership. Current staff claims Candy is on a "vacation" in New York? Consider us extremely disappointed! After our latest meal at what was once our favorite restaurant in Seaside, I will think twice about dining here again as our food was very bland and service was not attentive like it always was when Candy was running it.

pho in centralia? and it's actually delicious?!…read more the historic building is so cute, it was super clean and modern while the outside has the iconic sign. it was busy at 3PM which shows how good they are - and there was a ton of take out orders too. The owners work there and are so cute and sweet! I had the pho tai and to my delight they serve nuoc beo!!! (pronounced nook-bail, which is the skimmed pho fat with green onions soaked in it - SO GOOD AND ADDICTIVE. if a pho place does it i know the pho will be good.) the pho is more southern style - sweeter, darker broth. but so so good!! they give a GENEROUS amount of meat and noodles. the pho was so good i got it twice in one day, lol. my husband got the grilled chicken, level 3 spicy. and gosh was it spicy! they make their own chili oil and paste and you can definitely taste the unique twist on the chicken. it's so deliciously spicy, it hits your tongue then lingers. def recommend if you're a true spicy fan - otherwise stick to level 1/2. they warned him when we ordered the chicken lol. will be a regular spot for us now, and will tell all our friends.

Server was friendly and patient. We did a big to-go order while traveling through town. The fried…read morerice and lo mein noodles were our favorite items. The pad thai was unique, it had a much thicker tomato based sauce than what you typically see. While I appreciate a place putting their own twist on things, I'm not sure I liked it more than other pad thai's I've had. We did ask for a few dishes with no spice, and 2 of them ended up very spicy anyway. The server taking our order confirmed it back to us, so I assume just a mix up in the kitchen. Not a huge deal, but it was disappointing for the few in our group that don't like spicy food. Not a bad experience on the whole, but I'm not sure I'd call Shanghai Cafe unmissable either.

Coming from a background where I've worked a sushi restaurant and have had really good quality…read moresushi, I was pretty disappointed with the quality served. Let's start with the positives though. The service here is friendly as my boyfriend and I were greeted and seated promptly with menus. We ended up going with their current special where you get two rolls and an appetizer, my boyfriend got the salmon delight while I got the coconut shrimp roll with the shrimp tempura for our appetizer. The ambiance here is very classy and definitely goes for a more upscale dining experience with paper lanterns, minimalistic decor and the slightly dim lighting. We got salad and miso soup but I have never seen the salad with a thick orange dressing, it was alright but my boyfriend wasn't a fan. The miso soup was okay but I really wished they put tofu or wakame. We got the shrimp tempura first and the shrimp is nice and juicy, however the breading was a bit off. It had a weird texture and taste that I have never tasted on shrimp tempura. Our rolls were dropped off and I noticed that the rolls are huge but the quality was not the great. The rice appeared mushy, the spicy tuna filling for both rolls was meh (also spicy for my boyfriend who can't handle spicy), and my coconut shrimp roll had a different sauce from the coconut shrimp as it was a spicy mayo (orange) compared to the white coconut sauce that was drizzled on the side of coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp also had the same batter as the shrimp tempura so it was off putting and I was hoping more for the traditional coconut shrimp with coconut flakes on it. I wouldn't mind trying out the peanut butter chicken or their other entrees as I feel like that would have been the better move. Our server didn't really check in on us until the end which was unfortunate as my boyfriend needed water, especially due to how spicy the spicy tuna was.
