Shanghai Mama's is good for friends night out Late opening, downtown location, spiffy decor that isn't just your regular touristy Chinese/Asian stuff. Bring some friends so you can share and sample. I was tempted to buy one of their cute "shut up and eat your noodles" teeshirts that they have for sale in the restaurant but my husband threatened to disown me.

Flavor Wonderful flavor and lots to choose from. Although this restaurant is located downtown, it is definately worth the trek if you do not live downtown. It's also great if you're looking for some late night food after having gone out on main street. Shanghai Mama's usually opens until about 2am on the weekends. Their noodle dishes are wonderful and filled with lots of flavor. There's always a nice atmosphere and filled with people. They've also got really neat decorations and neat Chinese chairs and tables. However, be pr... read more

So glad they finally reopened!!! We love the food, the people, and the atmosphere of Mama's. The chicken lo mein and crab cannolis are amazing.

Mediocre at best. – I love Chinese food, so I was hoping to find a new place to experience, but.... I wasn't impressed with the total lack of attention from the wait staff. Although the waiter was nice, he basically gave us a menu, took our order and disappeared for the rest of the evening. The place was small and there were maybe 4 other tables occupied, so I can't really imagine what else was occupying his time. I never saw him walk through the room to attend to the other patrons either. Then after our checks, he offered t... read more

salty, inauthentic Chinese food – I love the atmosphere at Shanghai Mama's. However, that is where my love for the restaurant ends. I've been there 3 times and the service is at snail's pace every time. The food is not authentic Chinese at all. After sampling 8 dishes, the only two I can recommend is the Shanghai dumplings and the Shanghai flatbread.
