Shanghai Restaurant

Shanghai Restaurant (as the name suggests) serves classic Cantonese food and the big portions and easy-going atmosphere make it great for a quiet, casual Chinatown meal. A long-time resident of Bellaire Boulevard, Shanghai resembles a ‘90s pastel breakfast nook, and nearly every table hosts a big family quibbling over snow peas leaves and rice. The menu is simple but solid, with sizzling clay pot dishes and sweet and sour sauce-blanketed meats.
