About this business
If you're afraid of stereotypically greasy, meaty Chinese food, try this eatery, which emphasizes on fresh, lightly cooked food with plenty of vegetarian options. The restaurant is justly famous for its succulent rice, corn and barley green noodles, shaved by hand from a block of dough. Try the crisp, sweet Sugar Pea Vine, and the unusual starters, such as Spinach Dumplings, and Black Moss and Bamboo Fungus Soup. Service can be slow, but it's worth it.

Great Chinese Restaurant in International District - Must try the Barley Green Hand Shaven Noodles – We've been here twice before and will return again. Our favorite is the House Special Barley Green Hand Shaven Noodles with shrimp, chicken and squid. Food is served very quickly, is hot and always delicious.
Horrible (Xiao LOng Bao) Shanghai Dumplings – Went in thinking I might have found a place to have the soupy Shanghai dumplings in Seattle but alas...they were chunky, not soupy at all with a thick outer skin that made the whole dumpling taste like an overcooked meatball. The dumpling is supposed to have a thin outer skin with a soupy inside that bursts with flavour when you bite into it. NOT! Big disappointment. The hot and sour soup and the Ma Poh ToFu was OK. Would not go back.
Yum-oh Shanghai Garden is a yummy restaurant. I love their hand shaven noodles, sugar pea vines, and their mapo tofu. This restaurant has the best Shanghai cuisine in Seattle, WA.
Best chinese in Seattle! Anytime I visit Seattle's International District I have to eat at Shanghai Garden. the only place to go for real chinese food. Great Moo Shi Shrimp!!
Big disappointment – Hard review. I was expecting so much based on previous reviews, but I was sorely disappointed. I have yet to find really good, authentic chinese here. I am used to chinese from Vancouver, Toronto and NYC, so perhaps I am too spoiled. Anyway here it is: Busy. Rushed meal at the end. Mediocre to poor service. (too forever to get our order in and then were didn't see the wait staff until they tried to rush us out). Food was good, not great. Kind of bland, nothing special. Not even close to NYC chinese. Best... read more
Best Chinese in Seattle? No way! – I went here with a friend who raved about the freshly shaven noodles and their dumplings. I was disappointed on both accounts. Way too doughy. Dumplings should have a thin "skin" not gummy as these were. The vegetables were over cooked. I'd take Hing Loon (same street on the east corner of the block) or 663 Bistro (SE kitty-corner from Hing Loon) over Shanghia Garden any day. Granted these places feature Hong Kong-style cuisine, but the quality is so much better.
great vegetarian options, super-fast service – I've been to Shanghai Garden several times now. Every time I go, no matter what day of the week of time of day, I'm always seated right away, and my food always arrives much faster than expected. The menu is extensive, with many many options for my vegetarian companion. I particularly recommend the barley-green hand-shaven noodles. The texture is amazing. I crave them all the time! And I usually have enough left over after becoming pleasantly satisfied for lunch the next day. A ... read more
Not the best service – I went there for mother?s day and the service was not the best. I don't know why. Maybe it was because we are African American. (why is it that when I go to a place I have to think about that?) I felt like they we're rushing us out. We have four children. No one ever asked us what we needed. The water boy did give us water but pretty much I had to ask several times for them to remove plates and napkins from the table. I noticed no one else's table had plates piled high etc. They kinda pushed the check ... read more
perfect chinese food – I'm not a chinese food person really but whatever i ate in this place i loved it. My favorite is mu shu pork or chicken doesn't matter it is delicious. I love that plum sauce in it. And that green chowmein with anything i love it.. the service is really fast, sometimes you have to wait for a table but believe me it takes only 5 min after you order and always in the same taste. Waitress love their job and treat you like you are a guest in their home.. I love this place..
