This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the Valley. Quality of food, quantity of food, value, atmosphere... the Shanghai Grill has it all! My wife & I have been there with our extended family too, and we have ALL been super impressed:)))

Been coming here for years. We usually get takeout. The food is a mix of Chinese American and south East Asian. Service is good so is the food. Their egg rolls are my favorite.

This was my first time trying this place. Pretty good food and the service was great. The Kung Pao Beef was tender and had a nice flavor. The egg roll was also good and the hot and sour soup was tasty. The decor is nice and the parking is convenient. This restaurant rates 4.5 stars in my opinion but that's not an option.

So gentle readers, I would be remiss for not more than mentioning "The Shanghai Grill" on W Union Hills Road and N 91ST Ave in Peoria. We first tried this restaurant several times multiple years ago and it was alright. While alright is a relative term, it is not necessarily a glowing recommendation. Through the advice of other NEXTDOOR writers, I was advised to give the new owners a try. Our first re-visit was a little over a year ago, and per my most recent bank statement, it appears we are now sending the new owners children to an Ivy League college of their choice! (Yes, the food is that good!) This is the point where I recommend my weak bladdered readers and those whose drink is now mostly ice, to empty and refill said mentioned items. If you have read any of my previous food reviews, you will know I recommend not reading any reviews rated a "1" as most of them seem to have an axe to grind; not all but 95%, as stated by their own other reviews. Remember, you can select their name and read their other reviews. Most never spoke to their server, or the restaurant manager. One should ALWAYS give the restaurant an opportunity to make things right. Also remember, your right may not always be the fair right! As for the "5" reviews, again throw out 25% of those reviews, mine included because we never had the opportunity to write as we had hoped over the years! Now onto an honest review of the "new" Shanghai Grill Restaurant. First off, we have found their menu is merely amazing and only a recommendation. They can and will do almost anything to their ingredients, spices and heat levels. If you see an item in the "pork" section and not in the chicken section... guess what? They will do it! This is the exact conversation with our server: "Is your Chicken Lo Mein saucy or dry?" His response was "Tell me how you like it!" Seriously, in this age of "non-customer service" and "take it or leave It", someone asked me my opinion; THEN delivered on it? WHAT is happening here? Over the past year of "reconsidering" Shanghai Grill we have come to truly love this place. Their Hot and Sour soup is pungent, but not vinegary (a word I thought I just made up, but nope, it is a real word). The vegetables are fresh and on point. We have tried so many of their entrees, it is hard to choose a favorite. The six fried shrimp appetizer is delicious, (although some have criticized them for being flat). The cocktail sauce comes with a flavorful kick! I must mention the Six Crab Puffs, while crab or anything from the sea is not a favorite of mine, the creamy texture with a hint of crab drudged through a delicious maybe duck-Ish sauce left me wanting more. Next onto our favorite entrees! Feeling like taking the tastebuds out for a spin? Try the Vietnamese Sun Devil Chicken and get it SPICY! You will hate yourself the next day, but it sure is delicious and flavorful on day one! Are you one for full flavor and no spice? Try the Thai Curry Chicken and leave the pineapple in! It sounds weird but adds another level of flavor one can only experience at Shanghai Grill. Do your tastebuds want something beefy and fulfilling? (But also, afraid that any beef dish might be chewy?) Fear not, try the Mongolian Beef and you can never go wrong by adding snow peas for the added crunch! Finally, we could never decide between chicken fried rice add extra onions and snow peas, or the Chicken Lo Mein and running it through the same garden. Well, the server advised us to try the Pork, Beef and Chicken Lo Mein with extra onions and snow pea pods. Let's just say that servers children have since been added to the college fund! So, keep in mind gentle readers, everyone has an opinion, but YOUR opinion is the most important to your gastro needs. You can only take other peoples opinions and see if they add to your dining out experience or if those blue formed together cans of "La Choy" in your bottom cupboard outrank another's' opinions. Yes, I paid for my meal; no, I am not a family member, and yes there might be a small upcharge for adding snow pea pods! The Shanghai Grill will continue to grace our favorite Chinese dining experience. Happy dining!

We heard they were under new ownership so we decided to give them another try and man, what a difference! Food and service were top notch! Glad we came back. Everything was awesome this time. Definitely back on our list of favorite!

After not going to Shanghai for several years ( bad experience). We heard it had changed owners and decided to try it again. We have been going most Monday evenings I have something different each time. I love onions but They don't love me , so I ask them to exchange them for another vegetable. One dish doesn't come with vegetables but I asked if they could add some carrots broccoli and mushrooms.No problem. Everything is as fresh as can be. The waitresses know the menu & can guide you without having to check the menu. This restaurant wants your business and acts like it. The owner Julian must be so proud
