Shang Hai has been serving vegetarian food a long time so they are a good place for vegans and vegetarians. The soup of the day was veggie soup and it was quite nice. The tea was jasmine flavored, which was yummy. The food was tasty and the portions were very generous for just $11.50. A good deal especially at lunchtime. Def recommend

Food was tasty but not delicious. The cook needs a bit more experience in Chinese flavors. It was quiet inside which was great. Also host is delightful. I would try again.

Absolutely delicious. I will definitely be stopping by ShangHai to grab Chinese food next time I am in Santa Barbara. The schezuan shrimp, orange chicken, chow main trio did not disappoint. Amazing service as well.

Orange chicken was immaculate. Staff was very friendly and nice. Definitely stop by when in Santa Barbara. It’s worth it and you won’t be disappointed.

Probably best place for Chinese food in Santa Barbara- or at least quick Chinese food reminiscent of places on the East Coast (North Jersey, NYC). Orange Chicken is the go-to, a bit on spicier side but great . Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some classic Chinese take-out.

Food was good, spring rolls are mushy inside. We ordered chicken with mixed vegetables but it only had bok choy no other veggies

I live in SLO County and there is no longer decent Chinese food- at least not in SLO or North Coast. I had to go to Santa Barbara for an appointment and I have been craving Chinese food for over a year since the one good restaurant closed. HOLY MOLY!! My mom and I both agreed this was the best Chinese food we have had in a very long time. The owner was so sweet and explained things really. She’s from Sichuan and that’s always been my favorite type of Chinese food. They had authentic mapo tofu. It came out almost boiling in a clay pot. I learned the “ma” part means “numbing” from the Sichuan black pepper. It was AMAZING!! She let us try a pepper and what a strange sensation! Every time I need to go to Santa Barbara…I’m going here!!!
