It was over 20 years ago I first visited Shanghai Cafe. It’s small and simply decorated. All the entrees I’ve tried are under $15 and quite filling. Lady who takes the orders is very nice and the food is usually out in about 10 minutes. Sometimes I’ll order to go and walk over to Vons and grab a few things and my order is waiting for me when I check back. Shanghai Cafe is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. I’m glad they are still open and offering takeout during the apocalypse.
This visit I ordered Hong Kong style won ton soup. My order came in 2 containers. One container held the hot soup. The other container had egg noodles, bok choy, and won tons.
Egg noodles were soft and smooth with a nice mild flavor. Bok choy had a fresh flavor and a nice snap. Won tons had a thin wrapper and a pork won ton with a hint of shrimp. My favorite soup here.
My other favorite dishes:
Bbq pork pan fried noodles was fully of tender flavorful bbq pork and bok choy. Noodles were crunchy and covered with a savory brown sauce. Tasty classic dish.
10 ingredient fried rice has a big assortment of ingredients. Love all the different flavors and smokiness imparted from the wok.
They take orders online and over the phone.

The barbecue pork pan fried noodles look super yummy!
It was good. I love the egg noodles they use.
Awesome that you’re supporting these little mom-and-pop places Soo!
Thanks Kirk! I don’t wanna have to eat at Panda Express after this is over.
I like your won ton soups finds! The price for that portion seems awesome. I haven’t heard of this restaurant before. Will have to try it out if i’m in the area any time soon.
It’s a great neighborhood joint. I liked how they packaged the soup + noodles separately so they noodles didn’t get soggy on the drive home.
