About Shanghai River Restaurant

Shanghai River Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant located in Richmond, a short sky train ride from the cruise port. The restaurant is not high-end in terms of decor, but it offers a busy and inviting atmosphere, with mandarin being the predominant language spoken.

The menu, presented in a laminated book with full-color pictures, features a variety of dishes. A popular choice is the Xui Long Baos, which are served hot with thin skins and juicy meat. The Shanghai Chow Mein, Szechuan style Prawns, and Peking duck are also highly recommended. The lettuce wrap with beef, while plentiful, was not as well-received due to the overpowering celery and underseasoned beef.

The restaurant is a popular choice for families and groups, with round tables providing ample space for family-style dining. The service is efficient, with hot water and tea offered immediately upon seating. However, note that water is not offered unless requested and carryout containers incur an additional 30 cent charge.

Overall, the restaurant offers a delicious and authentic Chinese dining experience. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the service is efficient. It is a must-visit for those looking to explore traditional Shanghai cuisine or simply enjoy a taste of China in the Vancouver area.
