Shanghai bistro 4223 Research Forest Drive, The Woodlands, TX 77381

"Found this little restaurant while searching for Asian buffets. Even though it is NOT a buffet, it is a good place to eat. I took my dad here and we both enjoyed it. We went on a Thursday during lunch time and there was only a couple of other customers present. For how good the food is you would think they would’ve been packed during lunch. (They did get a lot of to go orders by phone while we were there) This just allowed the waitress to attend to us quickly. We choose from their lunch menu and selected chicken lo mien and szechuan beef plates. Both came with fried rice, fried spring roll, and a soup. We choose the egg drop soup. It was all good, especially that egg drop soup. My meal was under $10 and my dad’s was around $12. They have vegetarian options as well. I recommend going here. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures this time."

"I have ordered take out from this restaurant two times and have been extremely pleased both times!! The food is delicious— some of the best Chinese food I have had! And the portions are very generous! My orange chicken dinner special was could’ve been enough for 2. And the Singapore noodles (which are delicious, but very spicy!!) can easily serve 2 or 3 as a side item. I would say this is one of, if not the best Chinese restaurant in The Woodlands. Delicious food, quick and friendly service —five stars all around."

"While in the vicinity during my work hours, I sought a change in my lunch routine and was drawn to this establishment due to its abundance of positive reviews. Upon my arrival, I discovered a well-maintained restaurant with a tidy and inviting atmosphere, offering an appealing array of lunch options. Although I initially enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken, I harbor some reservations about it being the optimal choice. The lunch menu featured three soup options, accompanied by a spring roll, and the rice selection could be substituted with noodles, evidently. The food was served promptly and piping hot, and the prices were reasonably competitive for the area. The customer service was nothing short of exceptional, truly impeccable. I would have awarded this place a perfect 5/5 rating had I chosen something more to my personal liking. I intend to delve further into the menu and amend this review if necessary. Overall, it presents itself as a promising dining option."

"It was delicious! The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing!My mom came to visit from Chicago and hasn't been able to find good Chinese food. We were both very impressed and she said it was the best double cooked pork shes ever had. The appetizers were delicious (potstickers, shrimp toast crab cheese puffs) and my honey shrimp was so good!"
