Super tasty vegan options - Edit
Contrary to most reviews, I had a really good experience here. They have a lot of vegan options! We ordered the veg lettuce wrap, veg mushu chicken, and veg flat noodle tofu. Pretty decent size portions too. Will definitely be going back.

Lies about being vegan - Edit
This has been my favorite restaurant for years, many options listed as vegetarian and vegan. However, my friend us a health inspector and reports that they use fish sauce, even in their vegan and vegetarian dishes. I definitely feel betrayed and won't go back.

Mmmm! Food is to die for! - Edit
I have tried the vegetarian kung pou chicken, veg potstickers, and the cream cheese won tons. All are exceptionally good. From my knowledge the pot stickers are vegan. I am not sure on the kungpou chicken. I thought it was vegan, but it may just be veggie. I've only dealt with 3 different people there and only one guy isn't very friendly. The other ones are very nice!

not vegan - Edit
If you are vegan, beware!
Read moreI am very unhappy with my previous experiences. The first time I went to Shanghai I specifically asked if their "vegetarian chicken" was vegan. And they assured me that it is in fact vegan.
After another vegan friend told me he was weary of their knowledge of if their food is vegan, I decided to double check with them. I asked if their vegetarian chicken was vegan and I was told yes. Then I asked if it had any milk, dairy, eggs, etc. The man I spoke with told me he thinks there might be egg whites in it, but he's not sure. So I asked if I could speak with a cook to confirm the ingredients, he told me no the cooks are too busy to speak with me.
I have since stopped going there and will never return.
Pros: cheap, fast
Cons: unknowledgable, rude

Agreed!They were very uninformative about ingredients in their so-called vegan options and the cooks wouldn’t talk to me either. If they had nothing to hide, they wouldn’t have hesitated or avoided talking to potential customers about ingredients that should never be included in a vegan option. I don’t trust Omni restaurants that tell you what they think you want to hear. I stopped going here almost as long as I’ve been a vegan. There are so many other fully vegan eateries I support 100% and will never go to Shanghai because of their shady practices.

Yum. - Edit
I'm honestly baffled about the experiences the other reviewers had with this restaurant. I go to Shanghai Cafe somewhat often, and it is always wonderful. The food is delicious, and if you're like me and you miss the variety of non-veg asian food, it will really hit the spot. There are actually more than "a few" veg options, there's an entirely separate veg menu which ranges from Orange "Chicken" (which I highly recommend) to Mu-Shu "Beef" to various asian soups and noodles dishes. The staff has always been friendly, though admittedly there are a few staff members who do not appear to speak English, which may be why they seemed somewhat rude? The owner is incredibly amazing, and she'll give you free dinner on your birthday, which is always a plus.

Super Delicious, Very unfriendly Staff - Edit
This restaurant always has lots of customers and its not because the friendly staff, its 100% based upon delicious food, I'm not saying the whole staff is rude but most are. The manager is a very nice lady and one other lady is extremely friendly, probably trying to make up for the others. I went there for a birthday dinner with 16 family members and all but 2 agreed to try the vegetarian meats and not one had a complaint. They have great flavors, and are very quick. You order and BAM its there. I recommend this restaurant very often.

CHEKC YOUR RECIEPT STUBS - Edit
i have been eating at this place for a year and i started noticing that my charge on my bank was different than what it said on my receipt - i never tip with my card i always leave cash. least 4 or 5 bucks and not only do they take my tip
Read morethey charge me at least 5 to 10 dollars or more than what my receipt says. so i call my bank and get all trans actions since last summer and the total they ripped me off is well over 100.00 so i say again check your receipts and file a report- no need to be ripped off.. thats all
Pros: ok food
Cons: Steals your money , Bad drinks, Poor service
