Shanghai Cuisine 上海小馆

This might be the best Chinese restaurant I've tried around Boston! The food came in fast but was also freshly cooked. The pork tongue and the whole fish were authentic. This is Shanghai Cuisine and they are indeed good at non-spicy dishes. It's also easy to find free 1-hour parking nearby. The place doesn't look fancy at all, but definitely don't overlook it!

I recently moved and used to be a couple minutes away from this place and will really miss it. The servings are very generous and the prices are fair. A nice hidden gem if you’re ever on moody st. It’s almost always empty inside but don’t let that fool you!

Amazing experience. Highly recommended. All the dishes we ordered were above average, very delicious. Very good staff. We got the pork soup dumplings which had very tasty soup broth in it, the noodles with brown beans and pork sauce (both the sauce and the noodles where done perfectly), the crispy steak ( unique item here, very juice and tender but also crispy and well seasoned with the perfect sauce to complement), and mapo tofu with white rice. The mapo was very good and shows the skill level of the chef, very satisfying.

As someone grew up in Shanghai, I can confidently say that Shanghai Cuisine in Waltham captures the essence of authentic Shanghainese flavors. Recommend Shanghai style poached chicken. It was juicy, tender, and served cold with the ginger scallion sauce. I also tried the shredded yellow eel with boiled oil which is one of my favorite Shanghai dishes. The shredded eel was silky and coated in a scallion oil sauce with just a touch of sweetness. It’s balanced and flavorful. The place brought me straight back to the tastes of home.

Best Shanghai food in Boston. Authentic and old fashioned Shanghai cuisine. The steamed chicken needs reservation and it is worth it. The sauce is the soul! The sweet sour fish is recommended as well. This reminds me of the Sechuan dumpling house in Arlington. Both are good choices for similar type of cuisine. But if you want a bit more authentic and focus on the food, definitely try here. It is also quite family style. Will go to explore more.

The food were great and service was good. The crab rangoons have decent amount of fillings. The pan fried buns took a longer time to come out than expected but was worth the wait. The pan fried noodles with chicken tasted good. The shrimps with vegetables are good, suited my taste. The prices are also decent for the amount of food you'll get.

Was in the traveling in the area and needed some sort of stir fried vegetable in my body. The chicken and broccoli, rice, and hot tea was perfect.

After so many years, today is unexpectedly my first time here. The taste of this place is great, the portions are generous, and the service is top-notch. The dry-fried green beans, pork elbow, and loofah are all good choices. However, the sweet and sour mandarin fish is too sweet for my taste. For parking, you can try Pine St or Cresent St, but don't count on finding a spot on Moody St.
