“All the food was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service.”
“The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and always had a smile on their face, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was good overall, especially the beef dumplings and Entree sea bass, both were delicious and definitely worth ordering. The wine and champagne list selection was also very nice. A special thank you to Chonlakorn (I hope I spelled your name correctly), who provided exceptional service. She was attentive, professional, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our meal.”
“The epitome of Chinese cuisine in a global landscape. The dim sum and dumplings, plump and juicy with excellent flavor; the hot and hour soup, perfectly viscous with a sharp piquant taste; the steak and white fish are perfectly cooked; and the service, most notably, is warm and accommodating who are filled with passion and contagious enthusiasm. 10/10.”
“Amazing experience at Shanghai Terrace. Max and Anna provided excellent service — very attentive and welcoming throughout the meal. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Highly recommend the Peking duck and outdoor terrace dining! 😊”
“An elegant high end Chinese restaurant experience with foods that we often have on tables with white plastic tablecloths. We really enjoyed the experience and the food. The service was great - fun, professional and suggestions made were terrific. Our meal of soup, dim sum, and lobster was perfectly paced and delicious. Look forward to returning to try more dishes.”
“Delicious chinese cuisine with an upscale refined twist.Peking duck is perfect golden crisp.”
“Always make a reservation here when in Chicago. Fantastic perfectly executed high end Chinese food. The Peking duck is succulent and excellent as was the crispy beef tenderloin. The dragon smoked cocktail was unique excellent and worth the high price. Highly recommend. It is hard to find as it's not right off the street. You have to go up the elevator to the hotel lobby then down a flight of stairs. Well worth the effort.”
“Food was amazing, the lobsters rolls and the Peking duck are a must! Smokey cocktail was great as well. The mango pudin is out of this world ✨✨ the attention is impeccable. Since it was my anniversary I was expecting like a dessert with a candle or something hehe but everything else was fantastic.”
“I went there for afternoon tea, They provided exallent service. Will back for sure!”
