China-Restaurant Shanghai in Gerlingen

A visit to Shanghai is always possible. The restaurant has been around for several years and we stop by every now and then. Extensive menu, good food, large portions and attentive and friendly service. And you can park for free in the directly adjacent underground car park. The photos show the Thai soup "Tom Kha Gai" and two types of chicken (crispy baked with vegetables and curry à la Shanghai).

I've been a customer there for over 15 years now and have celebrated many birthdays. We really enjoyed eating there because the atmosphere was nice. However, the prices that are now being charged are no longer celebratory. But not only that, but in our opinion the quality has deteriorated. The curry dishes taste bland, the chicken dish lacked the consistency of the sauce. Unfortunately the soup was very salty. Only the spring roll was delicious. I also find the price for a bottle of still water at €4.50 steep! Been there often... now nothing for us!

We went there for dinner on the recommendation of family. The food is very good and, above all, the portions are gigantic. If you don't have a big appetite, you should share a meal or take the rest with you. We'll be back!

Diverse selection of food. Friendly service.

You should make a reservation on Sundays and public holidays, the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Wonderful service with super attentive staff. The price was extremely expensive for what it was. Unfortunately, the food was extremely bland and inedible. Everything tasted the same and nothing had flavor. Needed to add salt and chili sauce to make anything taste slightly better. We ordered several dishes to try and nothing came out as expected and the bill was shocking. I would definitely not recommend this place if you’re looking for tasty dishes. Very disappointing considering previous reviews.

Service one A. Immensely large portions, too big for my taste. The mixed salad was drowning in dressing and you could hardly eat it. The seasonal vegetables were ok. There was endless rice and you could also order more at no extra charge. Unfortunately, flavor enhancers are used (but they are stated!!!!!) and I didn't tolerate the food very well. The restaurant is incredibly big and all the tables were occupied. In my opinion there are better Chinese restaurants. But if you want endless food, this is the place for you!

My absolute favorite when it comes to Chinese food. Super tasty and my favorite dish, duck with peanut sauce (No. 73) cannot be beat. I've been a regular guest in the house for more than 20 years. Always my pleasure.

Tip Top! Delicious food, great service

A highlight for colleagues and family. Very good food and, above all, very nice staff.

It's always nice here and always delicious. We've been going there since it opened and that says it all. The boss and his wife and the staff, some of whom have been there since the beginning, are friendly and accommodating. we'll be back.

Was the first time in Shanghai in Gerlingen. I heard a lot of good things about it and was therefore very excited to see how I would like it. The atmosphere looks very chic. The service was also good. The food itself was OK. It didn't blow me away. In my opinion the prices are very high. Not justified for the quality of the food.

Top restaurant, it's best to call beforehand to reserve a place, The restaurant fills up quickly and tends to be busy! What is reflected overall in the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff, clean and appropriately furnished, a top Chinese restaurant!

One of the best Chinese restaurants I know in the Stuttgart area, if not the best. Great, delicious food and very friendly staff... Happy to come again at any time.

We've been coming for 31 years and that says it all, thank you very much, it was great again

One of our favorite restaurants for many years. Love coming here on your wedding day and other special occasions.

My meal was very tasty and a good portion too. We were greeted warmly and the service was nice and courteous. Chinese ambience, exactly as it should be. We'd love to come back

I've eaten there very tasty since I was a child

Food used to always be delicious, but now it was EXTREMELY expensive and the duck meat was full of fat and extremely tough. 2 meals 60 EURO

Food is very tasty, atmosphere with fish and turtle is great, staff - very friendly! I think soup is a bit more expensive - €7

The soup was the best I've ever eaten, very good food. The atmosphere is really impressive. Nice service. Moderate prices.

Very good food, the best soup I have ever eaten. We had a very nice time. The atmosphere and decor are the best I've ever seen.

We have been to this great restaurant many times. Everything was perfect, the food was great and the service was very friendly. Always happy again

Always friendly service and delicious food in a nice atmosphere. We've been coming here for decades.

A very tasty meal, with a fine taste

Great ambience, high quality food, portions very large and nicely prepared, very tasty. Staff is always extremely friendly.

The food was very tasty, personally I thought the portions were too big. The service is professional and extremely friendly. We'd love to come back.

Very good and the waiters and waitresses are very friendly. Food is always good

Our favorite Chinese for 20 years - it was always perfect. Keep it up. Shanghai gets full marks from us as our favorite Chinese restaurant ;-)

I've been coming here for years and it's still number 1, just like it used to be.

Large portions, good selection, atmosphere with aquariums and nice lighting, good Chinese! Well attended! Price-performance within normal limits.

Das Essen ist sehr lecker und authentisch, doch leider waren wir vom Service sehr enttäuscht und werden nicht wiederkommen.

One of the last good Chinese restaurants in a large area of ​​Leonberg.

Large portion, the taste is pretty run of the mill, but really expensive! 0.2 l drink for €4!

It's been a long time since I've eaten here again. Unfortunately I'm disappointed. Service was better and I was used to better food. 😕

Large portions that are prepared relatively quickly. However, the taste is not convincing; you notice that the quality of the food is suffering. This is particularly unfortunate considering the slightly higher prices for a Chinese restaurant. The boss seems nice, but the female waiters are not particularly accommodating and I would almost say unfriendly. Conclusion: We wouldn't go here again.

Very good food, very nice staff & super cozy atmosphere

Very good food, typical ambience and very nice staff. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity you get!

General: After many years, we had dinner here on a Sunday. We used to come here regularly during the week for lunch. Since the restaurant was quite busy around lunchtime on Sunday, I definitely recommend making a reservation. Tuesdays to Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. you have the opportunity to eat from the lunch menu. The portion itself is definitely enough and the prices are definitely cheaper. The menu also includes an appetizer. Either a noodle soup with chicken, Shanghai sour and spicy soup, a spring roll or a salad. Ambience: The restaurant is very comfortably furnished. There is a small pond with fish in the middle. You also have the opportunity to grab a spot around the pond to watch the fish and hear the splashing. The aquariums also really lighten the atmosphere. Overall, the entire decoration is pretty well coordinated and there is some music playing discreetly in the background. Food: The food always comes very quickly and promptly. You honestly can't complain. And, as always, the food was delicious. Nothing could be said about all four dishes. Especially with the sweet and sour sauce, I love it when there are lots of pineapple pieces in it. 🥰 Regarding the portions, I would say that they are very generous. And definitely quite enough. Service: Super nice and very fast staff. Even if we hadn't made a reservation, they still found a spot for us in the next room. The staff was still somehow present as soon as you needed something. When everyone had finished the soup, everyone cleared away immediately and the main course came straight after. There may be a small language barrier, but usually people will understand you. Prices: When I saw the prices on the menu, I had to swallow a bit. The prices have increased quite a bit over time. Parking: Next to the restaurant you have the option to drive into an underground car park and park or you can park outside the hotel in a free area. If you eat out during the week you get a coin from the restaurant to go out for free. Or, like ours, the barrier was open at the weekend. Conclusion: It was definitely a successful visit to the restaurant with a lot of delicious food. Because of the portions, you will definitely be full and the food is super delicious. The restaurant is definitely worth a visit. And I'm looking forward to being able to eat there again.

When I'm in Gerlingen, I like to be in this restaurant, why: Good food and great service. There is a good selection for vegan/vegetarian options. I can only recommend the restaurant.

Very good food, I've been a regular here for decades, especially the delicious lunch menu is unbeatable. But the atmosphere in the restaurant is always worth a visit. Mr. Jeh is one of the friendliest people I have met.

Very good food and a very friendly atmosphere.

Worst Chinese restaurant ever. Charge 4.5 euros per bottle faucet water without telling the customer and then later charge 18 euros without notice. The dishes are deadly salty. This level of Chinese food is worst ever i have eaten in the past 30 years. If you are Asian, don’t eat at this restaurant. It is a fake Chinese restaurant. The beef is rotten and not fresh at all. All the dishes taste the same. Deadly Salty and not fresh at all. The price is ridiculously high with such a low quality. I should check the previous reviews’s review before choose this one. I don’t recommend this restaurant at all and will never go back. Now I understand why they make all of the dishes deadly salty, because you will have to drink a lot of water then they can charge you horrible expensive water. The water is not spring water, it is just water the water from the faucet. Wow, rediculous.

I didn't give it one star because the portion size was okay. But the taste is not suitable for Chinese people. The fried noodles taste almost the same as the boxed fried noodles sold in supermarkets for 3 euros per kilogram, but the price is not very cost-effective. Generally speaking, it is not recommended for Chinese people to go. Spent 38 as a minesweeper.

A very tasty restaurant with a nice ambience and good service.

Food comes quickly and is very good. The portions are large. Reservations should be made on public holidays and weekends. Parking is free in the underground car park or in the hotel car park in the same building.

Great restaurant with a la carte food, it immediately seemed familiar to me, I was here 30 years ago as a teenager, I would love to come back and eat here, parking is possible without any problems.

Food is generally very salty, it didn't taste good.

Everything great. Always worth a visit. Delicious food

Unfortunately, unfortunately it's not at all what it used to be. We've been regulars since the beginning, but the last two times we've been very disappointed. Unfortunately, that was it. A pity.

Very clean restaurant with an elaborate setting and very friendly staff. The food is top, the lamb with onions and peppers (spicy) was really great, there is plenty of rice with extra sauce - so you can really enjoy your visit to the restaurant. I will definitely come back here as soon as the opportunity arises. Reservation is recommended. Free parking spaces can be found right next door in an underground car park (an inconspicuous sign shows the way to the entrance).

Beautiful restaurant, I felt like I went to China for a short while. Beautifully presented food and delicious.

The food (lunch menu) is super tasty and very plentiful. The ambience is typical of this type of restaurant. There was enough space. Free parking is possible in the underground car park. But there are only limited parking spaces.

The best restaurant in the area. Excellent food, simply brilliant cuisine. The operator's approach was to the unit. I would love to come back here and recommend it with confidence :)

Absolutely top, highly recommended!!!

Food very good throughout, service friendly and fast, clean and Chinese furnishings but prefer China Man 4.50 for a small beer and 5.50 for a wheat beer? I'm sorry, I won't go along with that 😩😩😩😩😩

Very tasty and very friendly service and cozy atmosphere

Great, delicious food is also available to pick up. It's a shame that there are no small dishes in the evening like at lunch

Peking duck food was again very tasty and plentiful.

Nicely designed restaurant, unfortunately quite expensive.

Super great food, friendly service but it was just extremely crowded and therefore it was difficult to get around all the conditions. Ambience very overloaded but tasteful, nice with the water and animals in the middle. Very loud, as everything is a large, open, huge hall with no real partitions, so you have no privacy and can only have limited conversations. Later it became emptier and quieter and therefore much more pleasant. Unfortunately I can't remember the names of all our dishes, ranging from duck to sweet and sour pork, vegetables, Thai spicy to fried noodles. But the pictures speak for themselves 😁

Always delicious, service is top notch. Only 4 stars for the ambience because there are no "King Kong" or "Godzilla" to be found on the fog-shrouded island 😉😉

Nice shop, nice and friendly service, prices in the upper range, in my opinion. Food (sweet and sour breaded pork) was the worst thing I've been served in years. But the food on the other tables looked excellent. I guess I chose the wrong thing

I've been driving past the Shanghai Restaurant again and again for years, even decades, and I was only in there recently. The restaurant is full of seating options and there are ornaments and decorations in a wide variety of shapes and colors on every wall and on every free window pane. Although you can always discover something new when you look around, it all takes you by surprise and can sometimes seem restrictive. When we entered, without a reservation, we were warmly greeted and shown to a free table that also had space for a stroller. However, the other employees were not so nice and seemed very pressured. One was running back and forth, pushing the cart of food down the aisles at a very high speed. He almost knocked over other guests several times. Others don't understand you, don't hear you, or ignore you. The menu in the restaurant is very large and the prices are very high. So we wanted to have a set menu, hoping to save money here but still be able to try a lot, so we ordered the Shanghai menu, thinking that we would be allowed to choose one of the dishes there. We were then informed by the waiter that all of the dishes listed were part of the menu. The fun costs 63 euros for two people. Includes 6 different reports, as well as a sour-spicy soup and a salad per person. The dishes also come with some fried rice. Afterwards there are baked bananas with honey. The soup and salad were delicious. Of the six dishes, only a few were good, others didn't convince us. The dishes can be summarized as “breaded and fried” and “fried chop suey style.” There isn't much variety here, despite the special menu. The quantities cannot be handled by two people. We had our food packed. Three people could easily have shared the main courses. Allowing food to go back can lead to a lot of food waste. I definitely can't recommend the menu. The prices are also very high for individual dishes, too high for what you get in the end. We were here on a Sunday, which is why there were no lunch menu options. However, I probably won't come here again.

I'll keep it short: food poisoning and unfriendly staff.

Beautiful restaurant with a stunning fountain in the middle with real fish. The food is also very tasty and beautifully prepared. Really great restaurant!

All dishes across the menu have always been of the highest standard for, I think, around 20 years, top!

Unfortunately very disappointed. Prices have been increased extremely. The service is hilarious. Overall rather disappointed. It's a shame, this used to be a top restaurant.

Best Chinese in the Stuttgart area

Nice Chinese atmosphere Polite waiters Very generous portions

See good food. Staff speaks very good German. Prices are very high. The highlight is the pond with fish in the middle of the restaurant.

Since 1995, top food, friendly service, the boss knows her guests. Always happy for 24 years. And the New Shanghai has a completely different flair, modern traditional with a buffet and traditional Chinese grill.

Service was totally overwhelmed in a well-stocked restaurant

The Chinese Restaurant Shanghai impresses with excellent food, friendly service and a great ambience. A clear recommendation!

Great restaurant with lots of choice.

You can eat well at a reasonable price

Great atmosphere and the pork belly was delicious.

Chicken with Black Bean Sauce awesome.

Affordable selection of full-size meals for lunch with your desired side dish on weekdays. Delicious Chinese and Thai dishes. Big portion.

Best Asian far and wide. There's no more to say

We've been going here to eat for years. The selection of dishes from pasta dishes to dishes with chicken, beef, pork and fish is very large. Of course there is also the original Peking duck as a menu for 4 people or more. But it must be ordered in advance. In addition, there are not only the standard drinks, but also cocktails, including non-alcoholic ones, which are delicious and not exorbitantly priced. The service is great. There are enough parking spaces available. I recommend making reservations on Fridays and weekends.

Sehr schönes Ambiente, Leckeres und reichhaltiges Essen. Schnelle Bedienung.

Das Essen und das Ambiente sind sehr gut, jedoch lässt der Service etwas zu wünschen. Alles in allem trotzdem eine Top-Adresse für chinesisches Essen.

Çok güzel bir yer çalışanlar kibar ve çok şık ve temiz yemekler çok güzel 🙂

Das Essen hat sehr nachgelassen seit Corona

Hatte immer einen sehr guten Ruf aber ich muss sagen man kann nicht vom Preis her ordentlich aufschlagen aber gleichzeitig qualitativ und mit dem Service runter gehen.

War aufgrund Empfehlung dort. Leider ein Reinfall...das Beste noch die Suppe, die WanTan schmeckten wie Karton und das Rindfleischgericht war mit mehliger Sosse, schlimmer als manches Fertiggericht. Ambiente ist aber schön und der Service gut. Laden war aber poppenvoll, muss also bessere Gerichte geben. Für mich aber: Nie wieder!

Immer gut! Sehr effizienter Service. Dankeschön 😊

Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, das Restaurant ist schön gestaltet. Das Essen war reichlich und hat auch gut geschmeckt, aber jetzt auch nichts außergewöhnliches. Der Kellner der uns bedient hat, hat wohl seinen Beruf verfehlt oder einen schlechten Tag gehabt. Ansonsten haben einen schönen Abend mit Freunden dort verlebt.

Problemlos erreichbar, jedoch sollte davor reserviert werden. Das Personal, das uns bediente war sehr nett und aufmerksam. Wir bestellten gebratenen Reis mit Gemüse und gebratene Nudeln mit Gemüse. Die Portionen sind üppig, sehr lecker und frisch. Der Preis, mit ca. 16/17 Euro ist etwas zu hoch aber noch im Rahmen. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön und lässt nach dem Essen auch zum Verweilen ein. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Restaurant, Service sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Essen fand ich auch sehr lecker. Auch wenn die Preise schon etwas gehobener sind.

War sehr lecker, vom Preis Leistungsverhältnis top Dankeschön

Wan Tan Suppe war nicht gut. War kurz davor sie wieder zurückzugeben. Shanghai Ente war gut.

Teuer, aber dementsprechend große leckere Portion. Das Restaurant allgemein, wunderbar. Für einen Freunde Abend oder etwas Abwechslung ,perfekt.

Nicht ganz günstig aber sehr lecker!

Super Essen und sehr freundliches Personal.

Wie immer. Superlecker. Vielen Dank dem Chef.

Das Restaurant ist klassisch Chinesisch aufgebaut, mit Aquarium und Teich in der Mitte. Das Essen schmeckt gut jedoch finde ich inzwischen die Preise extrem hoch. Man muss mit durchschnittlich 20€ pro Hauptgericht rechnen.

Sehr schön und sehr lecker! Wer Service und Qualität will ist hier richtig! Sehr schönes Ambiente, kann es nur weiterempfehlen!

Title: A Culinary Journey with China-Restaurant Shanghai Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: China-Restaurant Shanghai is a captivating dining establishment that takes you on a gastronomic voyage through Chinese cuisine. With a subtle touch of flair, this restaurant brings together a delightful blend of flavors and an ambiance that transports you to the heart of Shanghai. Now, let's talk about the stars of the show: the Amazing Duck Dish and the Beef and Broccoli dishes. The Amazing Duck Dish is, without a doubt, a true masterpiece. The succulent duck, perfectly roasted to a golden crisp, is served with an impeccable balance of spices and a tantalizing glaze. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that leaves you yearning for more. This dish alone is worth a visit to China-Restaurant Shanghai. The Beef and Broccoli dishes are no less impressive. The tender beef slices are stir-fried to perfection, enveloped in a velvety sauce that enhances the natural flavors of the meat. The vibrant green broccoli adds a refreshing crunch to the ensemble, making it a delightful combination that satisfies the palate. While the culinary experience at China-Restaurant Shanghai is undeniably top-notch, it's worth noting that the service can be a bit underwhelming at times. The staff, although friendly, seemed a little overwhelmed, resulting in longer waiting times and occasional forgetfulness. Nonetheless, the exceptional quality of the food overshadowed any minor hiccups in the service. The restaurant's ambiance is reminiscent of Shanghai's bustling streets, adorned with elegant decor and soft lighting. The authentic Chinese music playing in the background adds to the immersive experience, making it an ideal setting for a memorable dining outing. China-Restaurant Shanghai is a haven for food enthusiasts seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure. Despite the occasional service shortcomings, the Amazing Duck Dish and Beef and Broccoli dishes alone make this restaurant a must-visit for anyone craving an exceptional Chinese dining experience.
