Shanghai Terrace

Chinese restaurant · Near North Side

"Proper tea is difficult to find, but Shanghai Terrace, up in the Peninsula Hotel, takes the beverage seriously. Some diners love to hate on the fact that an upscale Chinese restaurant with prices more than their neighborhood delivery joint exists. Don’t let that deter you: Shanghai Terrace with its ambience and attention to detail is worth every penny. Their selection of seafood dim sum — and the Beijing duck service — make this spot worth a visit for a special occasion." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
