Yeah Shang Hai is absolutely wonderful. My dining experiences here have always been great; no complaints. To set up the scene: there are two sections inside the restuarant. The one nearer to the door has rectangular tables. The midsection leading to the back is a lovely, lttle wooden bridge with fish underneath it in the water. Once you get pass this, you will come upon a medium-sized space with round tables, large ones for if you have a big group with you, and small ones for couples (very romantic). I think there are also rect. tables in the back (for four). The walls are brick-covered and adorned by oriental paintings. The food is absolutely amazing; simply a delight. The General Tso's chicken is just the right amount of tender and spicy dipped in wonderful sauce. Dinner for two will probably not cost you over $20 (depending on what you order) and you will be VERY full!

Regardless of how great the food was, I'm giving it one star because of the terrible service we received. We walked in, asked for a table, they told us to wait as there were no tables available. Then, a bunch of caucasians walked in and they were served right away. There were three of us and three of them and as far as I was concerned, Yeah Shang Hai does not deal with reservations. I thought this was ridiculous and completely rascist, but...we stayed anyway because we had searced the entire area and we had waited. Finally, we got seated. We ordered. One of the dishes (squid, I think) tasted funky. So we asked to order something else with the same price. We order a shrimp and egg dish...and there was like a total of three shrimps! We told them about this and they said, "if you don't like it, eat somewhere else."
