What People Are Saying About Lao Shanghai

Featured Review

Valerie Moloney

Contributor

The Scene – A vanilla-walled storefront at the western end of Chinatown Square shows little for ambience, but when your name is tied to Lao Sze Chuan, the extras aren't necessary. Foodies and locals alike pack tables lined with butcher block paper, anxiously awaiting what's to come. No music, no dragons on the walls, just eyes spying other tables for some of the best Chinese in town. – – The Food – The meat, poultry and seafood menu tantalizes with sweet and savory flavors that finish with subtlety. Shanghai dumplings reveal chubby pouches of pork, but lack enough…

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Another Lao sister--Lao Beijing--is located at 2138 S. Archer Ave.
Parking:
At $2 with a validated ticket, the Chinatown Square lot is a bargain for making an afternoon of it.

BEWARE

by rosemary1 at Citysearch

I recently visited this resturant with a class of 11 students. I thought the food was okay going down. But I suddenly became gravely ill 4 hours after my meal. I was vomitting and had dyskensia. My friend from class also became very ill with the same symptoms and ended up in the ER. It was a party of 11, 5 students became ill with the same symptoms. I was in bed for two days. I do not recommend anyone to taste this resturant. I have ate in the past raw sushi and other ethnic foods and have never become sick. Beware this place should clean up there kicthen if they want to continue to serve others. I ate Lo mein shrimp this should have not made me sick, what are they serving?
