Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Their sushi is the best!!! The Salmon sake just melts in your mouth it's so fresh. The sushi chef we had (johnny) was super nice and attentive. I would love to come back.

i am still figuring out where in the area I can get my Chinese food fix...this is it!!!! I decided to come in out of the cold and get a drink while ordering take out. Damn they were fast with my food....when I got home it was delicious. I got sweet n sour chicken and it was loaded with delicious chunks of pineapple. The husband got his standard The General Chicken and he loved it also. I had no idea this place had such a nice atmosphere. Very nice bar...you can watch the chefs make sushi and such on down further and they even had nice live music.... I asked the guy to make me a cosmo and it came out too red for my taste but I drank it and next time will just order wine or beer...

I've been to Shanghai Bistro in Hudson about 7 or 8 times since they opened. It takes me about 6 months to forget how bad they are and I give them another chance. I really want them to get it right as I enjoy sushi and asian food in general, but someone must be trying to save money somewhere and thinks the perimeter burbs customers can't tell what good food should be. This time I stopped at Shanghai for lunch after I heard they had new bento boxes on the menu. I ordered the "classic bento" with rice and teriyaki chicken and miso soup. They missed on everything but the rice. I'm only going to go into detail about the chicken. Not hard to cook chicken breast, right? After other bad experiences there I figured it would be a "safe" option. It arrived as a 4" block of white meat substance with a single slice half way through it, probably for the cook to check if it was done. Usually teriyaki has the meat cut up already, right since you're going to be eating it with chopsticks? That's ok, I'll cut it myself. I could barely cut it with the provided butter knife. It was obviously chicken, but I had never experienced any chicken this tough, yet not burnt. I sat there wondering if it had been poorly handled by thaw and re-freezing or something. I let my friend try it and he didn't believe it was chicken. After a discussion in the parking lot about what happened, we came upon what it must have been. Microwaved. Likely straight from frozen state to microwaved tough. So, if you're into over-microwaved chicken, try Shanghai Bistro! I don't have the courage to try the sushi.

Sushi is delicious and always fresh! Hot food is great too. Always fresh veggies and quality meat in each entree! :) give it a whirl!
(5)Jay D.
I go here often and the staff is great and the food even better. The sushi chefs are the best and they will go way beyond reasonable to make the occasion a special one. As the photo shows, they wrote "Will you marry me" in Japanese on the sushi serving dish (Oct 2012) to make my proposal perfect!
(5)Laura E.
Delicious sushi!! Bad piggy roll is the best ever!! Plus kids eat free on Tuesday is awesome :)
(5)Brett G.
I love the sushi bar here. But they must not sell much sake because the waitress let it slip that they heated my sake in a microwave. They make sake warmers for goodness sake. I don't ever want to go to any kitchen that heats anything in a microwave. Cold sake from now on I guess.
(4)Polly H.
A great place if you are looking for sushi! The staff is very friendly and they occasionally have great specials. It only gets a 3 out of 5 because the service is not the fastest and it is a little pricey for what you get, but overall a great place.
(3)Dan A.
I eat here often mostly for lunch. The food is always fresh and it tastes wonderful. There is a good variety on the menu including sushi which is excellent. Ive yet to have a bad experience.
(4)Mandi H.
Horrible service! The place was mostly empty and yet our order took almost an hour. That was after the 15 minute wait to get water. After we questioned the waitress we were informed the cook was also the dishwasher and he had to wash dishes before he could cook our food..... Uh gross. Our appetizers came out twenty minutes after our sushi. Meanwhile both managers were just standing around while the one waitress was doing all the work. I have been here twice and the manager has had an excuse about the poor service each time. The bar looks dirty too. I won't be back.

I liked very few things about Shanghai Bistro. The exterior of this place doesn't portray what Shanghai Bistro is trying to be. The signage is poor. I had to ask my date if I pulled into the right place because it's impossible to tell what it is. The main door isn't even very obvious. The two pots of uninspiring petunias seemed the same as what Country Kitchen used to plant when it was in that space years before. How about something a little more imaginative for your Asian fusion restaurant? The layout of the restaurant left a lot to be desired. I always prefer sitting at a bar with a date, but this bar was all wrong (alas, after scanning the room several times, I concluded it was still the best seat in the house). I did like the jazz trio playing nifty tunes near the doorway on this Friday night, but they were tucked awkwardly in a spot where only a few seats in the house could see them. The trio really seemed unappreciated by all other patrons, and as a result, they added very little to the energy of the space. The food didn't make up for any of the other shortcomings. The large seaweed salad was just a small serving of seaweed on a huge bed of plain greens (and not even the type of greens that compliment seaweed very well). I felt ripped off. The avocado roll and my date's cucumber roll were OK, but not much better than grocery store packaged sushi rolls. Last and *most definitely least*, is Shanghai Bistro's Ma-Po Tofu. In fact, if this was your very first introduction to tofu, I'd bet you'd never want to eat tofu again. It's really too bad that this was the bartender's enthusiastic recommendation of the best tofu dish on the menu. I was also incorrectly reassured that Ma-Po Tofu was the way to go if I wanted a dish full of vegetables. The only thing that made this dish edible was the side of steamed broccoli I later requested to dip in the soupy glop. I am not compelled to return to Shanghai Bistro.

I L-O-V-E this place. I seriously have eaten here......Well, mabe more then someone probably should. Considering it's pretty much the ONLY place in the River Falls/Hudson area to get sushi, I don't have much of a selection to choose from. despite this sad fact, I would come here regardless. The food is great. Fresh ingredients, food comes out quickly and good service. I mainly stick to the sushi bar area, and usually always get the same thing. The sushi chefs have never complained or called me boring for ordering the same rolls or sushi dinner four times in a row haha. Nobu and Mike are two of the chefs there and they ROCK my socks :) Their happy hour (Monday-Friday 3-6pm) is the best you will find ANYWHERE else. I mean, a salmon roll order for $2.50? For all you ballers on a budget like me, it's pretty wonderful.

Some of my girlfriends wanted to take me here for a birthday dinner, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a bit sketch on it. 1) It's in an old Country Kitchen. 2) It's called Shanghai Bistro, and they serve Pu Pu Platters and Lo Mein as well as sashimi, nigiri, and specialty sushi rolls. 3) It's in Hudson, WI, next to Denny's. Nonetheless, I really just didn't want to have to make any decisions for my birthday so we went to Shanghai Bistro on a Saturday night. Needless to say, when we got there, I was impressed by the interior of the building. Its Country Kitchen overtones are unmistakeable on the exterior of the building, but inside the lighting is dim and tasteful, the sushi bar winding and bright, and I loved the fun circular booths scattered throughout the restaurant. Not the least bit crowded on a Saturday night... but service was quite bad. Everything took forever, water was never refilled, and our waitress just generally seemed apathetic about doing anything well while waiting on us. The food was all right. Loved their super spicy, crispy wings and the crab rangoon. Admittedly, the sushi was better than I'd expected it to be but was nothing to write home about. We got a couple of specialty rolls and a chef's choice sashimi platter. We wanted it with rice, but our waitress didn't put that in with the order. When I asked for just a bowl of rice to go with it, we were brought the world's driest, most unsticky white rice ever; I'm talking, like, Uncle Ben's rice if it were sitting in an Asian rice cooker for too long. Epic fail. Overall I left full and satisfied, but I don't know that I'd be rushing to venture back to this place anytime soon.

I have been here before and the food is consistent. I had the shrimp and scallops and it was nice, light, and tasty. It came on a sizzling hot plate and the shrimp pieces were big. Overall a solid choice for Asian food in Hudson.
(4)Anne K.
Waited over an hour for our sushi. We were told a number of times that it would be right out, the place wasnt even busy. No one even said they were sorry for the wait
(1)Bree R.
Evidently, this restaurant holds their server's tips in an interest generating account for a week (possibly illegal) and then takes a 4% cut. That's not very ethical. Consider going somewhere else, there are plenty of tasty places that don't abuse their staff.

Henry,Mike and Jeremy are awesome!!! Great food,atmosphere and service!

Located in the old Country Kitchen in Hudson, the former chain exterior hides the goodness inside. Since it's new, I'm guessing all the jing has been sunk on the inside, which is quite beautiful. Not sure how to describe it -- perhaps Chinese-Japanese fusion? Happy hour is 4 to 6 p.m. offering fantastic deals on drinks, tempura, dumplings, wings and sushi rolls. There is a sushi bar which seemed quite popular with folks. I had a pomegranite saketini, $4 happy hour price, and just delicious. We ordered a tempura combo entree as an appetizer, pleased to have received one extra huge shrimp (4 total) than the 3 advertised. They also brought the 3 of us miso soup (one came with entree so that was generous), which was excellent (but just one seaweed salad, absolutely delicious). The tempura plate had five big carrots, three or four red onion rings, and numerous broccoli. Tempura batter was light and delicious. For entree, son and I split shrimp and scallops. The scallops were delish - not rubbery. Son said the ginger-white wine sauce over white rice was akin to eating a combo ala "cake and ice cream." Spouse had chicken chow mein, which was good as well, but this place is not your typical chow mein house or Chinese buffet so why bother. Rasberry creme brulee was good with the sweet crispy warm top over the cool creme but was light on the raspberries (one or two with some sauce at bottom) so that was a tad disappointing. Looking forward to trying other dishes there.

Good food. They have pick up but it would be nice if they had delivery.
(3)Sarah R.
Not the best. Service was good, but the food, although decent, has a lot of filler to make the portions larger. I'm not sure if I'll go back. Okay, so I did go back to get a take out order because I was desperate for chinese food and it almost seemed like the food got worse. I couldn't event choke down the nasty sweet and sour sauce I got with my meal. I should have learned my lesson the first time. This place will go out of business in no time. When I came in to pick up my order there were only 2 tables that were being used at 6:30 at night. My review used to say 3 now i have to drop it down to 1 star.
(1)Chris R.
I am basing this review primarily on service more so than food. Bad: I went in with my wife and 2 friends who live in the area for dinner on Saturday night. The place was not real busy maybe 40% full and we were promptly seated. From their on it was downhill in terms of service. Our waitress was generally slow, inattentive, and not good. - 1: First of all we had to ask for our cutlery / chopsticks after our food was brought to the table. - 1: When she brought us new beers / drinks she left the empty previous ones on the table - 1: We asked for additional plates as we were sharing entrees / sushi and she looked at us and pointed to the plates underneath the entree bowls saying we could use those. Those are not service plates those are for spoon rests / spill guards like a coffee saucer Good: I am a purist when it comes to Asian food (because I lived in Tokyo for 4 years) but I can appreciate fusion Asian especially when it is labeled as fusion and not passed off as authentic. That being said I thought the food was pretty good without MSG and the specialty "American" sushi is well presented and tastes good.

Darn you Shanghai! Your sushi cuts are great and food dishes, concepts are good! Mongolian beef, sesami chicken, strange flavor chicken--awesome! I dig the fusion thing. We've been customers probably 10 or more times in the past year. I think it's great your using the old Country Kitchen building. It's better then letting that building go to waste. People are finding you just fine. You have GOT to get your service figured out. Here on yelp all these people are commenting on it. We went again on Friday night. Our server seemed very menu unaware, we ordered a bottle of wine for 3 ladies to share, he brought one glass of wine for just one of us. We all ordrered waters, he brought one. We had to ask for a round of waters. We had to remind him about ordering a bottle of wine (which, when he did bring it, he couldn't figure out how to open). COME ON. Also, we didn't have chop sticks of napkins--had to ask for those like a lot of people on Yelp... AHHH, the food is pretty GOOD (aside from the seaweed salad--I agree with the one guy who says it's weird together with the leaf lettuce)--just give me seaweed salad like the sushi resturaunts. The drinks are good and the entrees are pretty good (sometimes you go wild with the nuts). Please get your servers straightened out. If you don't, I'll miss those beautiful cuts of fish when you go... Love, your fading fan

More than sushi ,Great Asian dishes give the strange sauce chicken a try it's sweet sour and spicy all at once real chicken not that white strips of mystery meat that some of those other places use ,great happy hr and specials
(4)Tucker C.
We keep coming back. Very nice favors and the Sushi is very good. Some rolls are a little thin, but the quality is phenomenal.
(4)J L.
My first impression of the new Shanghai Bistro restaraunt was very good! If you're looking for a nice place for a nice dinner out, without driving up to the Twin Cities, Shanghai Bistro is the place to go. Great evening atmosphere with good food at a good price. We sat at the Sushi bar, and the chef was very friendly and willing to answer any and all of our questions. Well worth a try!
(4)C T.
Awesome place. First time ever to try sushi and liked it. Can't say I loved the food because I hate seafood but this place gave me a future of myself and seafood living in harmony. Great atmosphere and staff. Lovely presentation and restaurants.com has amazing gift certificates for it as well. Very cool!
(5)Harrison W.
It was great when I had the Sweet and sour chicken and Sushi. But the orange chicken was a bit dry. So it depends what you have but over all great service and Layout. I would go there again.
(4)Ellen C.
The sushi was fine, but expensive. The Chinese was also expensive for Hudson, and my szechuan duck tasted like it had been made much earlier and kept warm on a steam table. The Thai style shrimp curry was pretty good. The kid's meals are very plain, I suppose this is for picky kids, but mine were disappointed (they had chicken lo mein and chicken wings-- the chicken wings had no sauce on them at all, just plain deep fried wings, who would eat that?). All in all, I won't be rushing back, Dragon Pearl's food is better and more affordable. I would recommend this restaurant if you wanted to eat sushi in Hudson.
