Shanghai Garden, Restaurant in Issaquah
My sister-in-law was in town to visit her daughter. She called and invited me to lunch. It was going to be at Shanghai Garden. That sounded fun to me. I don’t usually choose to eat Chinese food but when I do I do enjoy it. The place is sparkling clean and service was very fast. At other Chinese restaurants all the dishes seem to taste alike but this was not the case here. Even though the menu has many choices, we weren’t very adventurous, next visit perhaps. We all ordered different things and shared, which is typical. We tried Szechuan Beef in Hot Garlic Sauce, General Tso’s Chicken and Snow Peas with Chicken and of course Hot and Sour Soup. The snow peas were very fresh and cooked just right, not limp and overcooked and not too crispy. I will go back.
The chef and cooks came out to dine right next to us. That indicates to me they are very confident in their craft!
If you take the kids and they don’t like Chinese food, they can be entertained by watching the fish tanks.
Shanghai Garden has several dining areas and can handle a lot of patrons. Closed Monday. They have lunch specials 11:00am - 2:30pm, week days. They are located at 80 Front Street North in Issaquah, WA 98027
