Shanghai Cafe - Centralia

Absolutely the best sweet and sour chicken I’ve ever had! Their homemade sauce recipe was the perfect combination of flavors. The tea was fresh, the restaurant clean, and the owners were very nice. The place was consistently busy so you know it’s good.

False advertising! Why name your restaurant Shanghai Cafe and not even be able to do the simplest of Chinese dishes? I get that it’s mainly Vietnamese food but with a listing of sweet and sour chicken under the heading ‘Chinese Chicken Dishes’ on there menu and then to give a basic Teriyaki sauce and poorly cooked fried chicken. They then tried to convince us that this brown sauce was sweet and sour and when that didn’t work they pawned off a red sauce which turned out to be a spicy chili sauce. Listen, I lived in China for a year and know what sweet and sour sauce tastes like. And they obviously knew they were in the wrong when they tried to pass of chili sauce as sweet and sour.All we asked for was a refund of the one meal, not the other two we purchased, but they refused. Horrible service industry mentality!DO NOT RECOMMEND AND WILL NOT GO BACK!

This place has come FARIdc about their pricing, I remember when it was a grimy all you can eat 15 years ago, now its the cleanest looking restaurant on the block.Their Boba Tea is A+

My order was incorrect. They also did not have any accommodations for smaller children for seating.

This place had the best food we have had in so long! The staff was so friendly and so helpful!! And the atmosphere was so calming.
