A reinvention of a Chinatown classic with Shanghai staples like soup dumplings in a smart setting.
From Google Maps reviews.
I've only been here during the lunch hours and it can get quite crowded. The staff are very adamant about where you sit. I wanted to change my seat and the waiter just ignored my request and walked away. Another time, I wanted to position my chair for more space and the waiter said no. Other than the disrespectful staff, the food here is very good. I tried the fish fillet and it is crispy and delicious. The eggplant over rice is amazing as well. The lunch specials are affordable and you get
I had a great experience at this restaurant. The service was impressively quick, and the staff kept everything moving smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Their lunch menu has a wide variety of dishes, all at very reasonable prices, which makes it an easy go‑to spot for a satisfying midday meal. The food came out hot, fresh, and flavorful, and the portions were generous for the price. Definitely a place I’ll return to for a fast and tasty lunch.
I’ve been to 456 New Shanghai many times, and it’s one of my favorite places to eat in Chinatown. The food is always tasty and authentic — it really reminds me of the flavors from China. I especially love the xiao long bao; the hot soup inside is so satisfying. My favorite dish is the crispy pork chops with salt and pepper — crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. It’s a great spot for delicious Chinese food without spending too much.
