| - When my husband worked near Arcadia, this was our go-to place for a "cheap Chinese" lunch. It was a good solid experience, nothing delightful but nothing offensive either. We give the overall rating of food, service, and ambience 3.5 stars.
Our experience with the food is the standard fare: Lemon Chicken, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Kung Pao Shrimp, and Sweet and Sour Chicken. In particular, I recall the Lemon Chicken was tender and plentiful but a tad too sweet for me; also, I probably liked the Kung Pao Shrimp the best for the well-cooked veg and yummy shrimp. On the side, I found the eggrolls rather average, but the hot and sour, as reviewers have noted, well above average for the bevy of complex flavors and numerous shrimp.
The decor is plain and slightly 80s cheesy, but it's fine for a quick lunch drop-in during the week. The staff is friendly but not too friendly, which is acceptable and probably preferable to over-attentive in my opinion. It's a solid place overall.
I wouldn't go out of my way to head down this way to Little Shanghai unless there was a reason to be in the area, but I would stop in "when in Rome!" Cheers!
