I ordered take out, but was instantly impressed with the decor of this place. No 1970's warehouse here! The manager was very nice, explaining why my food was taking a little longer than anticipated. I noticed a bar off to one side where a few people were eating and drinking. Mostly booths, but a handful of tables in the middle. The wait staff didn't seem overworked or especially busy.
But let's move on to the food. Now I have had one meal from the china palace and found it disappointing because the food was so tasteless, under seasoned. But shanghai grill is a different story. Mongolian beef, beef chop suey, and chicken fried rice, all wonderful. The egg rolls were not greasy, and they must use a peanut or sesame oil to fry them in, because they were delicious. Definitely a great carry out, and probably dine in too!! Can't wait to try some of their other dishes.
