Shanghai City - Palm Beach County

Everything was very good, but I was surprised to have been charged $10.00 for a side of plain, steamed broccoli...

I've found it very hard to find good Chinese food in So. Florida. Shaingai city is about the best I've found so far. It's clean with good service. The shredded beef szechuan style was excellent and just a touch spicy. Tender beef strips, a good mix of vegatables and a flavorful sauce. Egg roll was small and uninspiring but the spring roll was good. Both the hot sour soup and wonton were very good. General Tso chicken was very good with all white meat, a light batter coating and an excellent sauce that was not overly sweet. (perfect for many people but if you like a heavy and crunchy batter with fattier dark meat this one may be too light. orange beef looked good but didn't get a chance to try it.

Main food was good but the boiled rice seemed to be cooked at the previous day.

Went to early dinner on NYE with 5 others. Food was extremely bland and pricey. No accompaniments with main course. Upon payment was told I didn't give amount due and tried explaining I gave certain amount and awaiting change. Rather than making a scene, I paid more than what I told her I gave. Needless to say I or others in my group will not go here.

Uuuuughhhh. I never write a bad review. Usually I am doing this for my favorite places. But this time I felt the need to let others know to stay away.So, initially, the place is depressing. Needs to be renovated. Looks like it was cleaned and painted in the 1970s and never touched again. The white table cloth on the table had filth and stains on it. We should have left right then.Then we waited. There was a large group of people in the back and the staff was small no one came to greet us. We waited 15 minutes.I had to flag down the girl who kept walking past us and ask if someone could take our order. So they did. But without an apology.40 minutes later I had to flag down the same girl to ask if someone could check on our order in the kitchen! A few minutes later our COLD food was brought to the table. No apology again.Not good. Overall just a bad experience.
