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.

Don't Go There – We were thoroughly disappointed by a dinner visit to Shanghai Garden. The "salt and pepper spare ribs" were essentially inedible, and it wasn't even a dish of spare ribs (instead it was a plate of pork strips). Crispy Garlic Chicken was below-average, way too garlicky. We ordered 3 dishes that were supposed to be hot and spicy but none of them was prepared in that manner. Too expensive and not a good experience. We would recommend a hole-in-the-wall place on the corner of 12th and Jackson called Sezchuan Cui... read more
Good Chinese in the ID – My family goes here often, weeknights and weekends, and we're always warmly welcomed, even when they're rushed. The food is delicious. Most memorable are the corn potstickers and barley green hand shaven noodles. You can park in Uwajimaya's pay lot for two hours for free if you shop there and spend at least $10; it's just around the corner and a convenient spot to pick up everything from massaman curry paste to sushi to humbao.
Excellent food – A friend recommended Shanghai Garden to me and now I know why. It's one of the best Chinese food restaurants in the Seattle area. The food is nicely prepared and quite flavorful. I highly recommend the barley-green hand-shaved noodles. Also, the crispy prawns with chili sauce. The prices aren't cheap, but it's worth it. The parking situation is a drawback... finding a spot on the busy streets of the International District can be a real challenge.
light, but satisfying – My favorite Chinese restaurant in Seattle! The menu has many vegetarian options. Ingredients are very fresh and prepared with a light hand, and the hand shaved noodles are definitely worth coming back for. The decor is admittedly utilitarian, but the food more than makes up for it.
one of Seattle's best Chinese – On Tuesday 29JUL03, our group of ten arrived for a specially prepared meal. The menu was custom-crafted from classic Shanghai dishes suggested by a HongKong Shanghainese plus dishes from the regular menu. Helen Su, owner, was very helpful and mothered the meal, start to finish. The Tsingtao beer was quite cold and served in chilled glasses. The servings were generous and artistically presented. The most stunning dishes included: geoduck, pork thigh with seaslugs, eel, jellyfish, black moss sou... read more
Try the hand-shaved noodles – Shanghai Garden is a comfortable place with a great selection of dishes. Service is friendly & the food is very good. Try one of the versions of hand-shaved noodles for a unique treat.
Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. I walked 3 miles from my hotel to eat there. Fried quid was fork tender and no grease to be found. Green noodles with pork were excellent. You must try the black moss and bamboo fungus soup. Extremely smooth with deep subtle flavors.
Reviews put to test – My boyfriend decided to eat here after reading the reviews. So we decided to try a few entrees. I see why the hand shaved noodles are such a hit, they were incredible. The sauce was extremely flavorfull and the chicken was moist, tender and flavorful. The two other entrees we chose were also very good. We didnt want to eat too much, due to the fact that we wanted to enjoy it later tonight. The helpings are plentifull and the service was accomodating. However, never asked for refill on beverages, in exce... read more
Superb Food! – This would have to be my favorite restaurant. I highly recommend Sesame Chicken, but the whole menu is full of excellent choices!
