Tucked away in the west end of seaside Parga, Shanghai Asian Restaurant is a gem that’s absolutely worth a visit. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming — a perfect setting for a slow, flavourful evening. Shanghai Asian Restaurant offers a delightful mix of excellent food, warm service, and a laid-back vibe.
We started with Crab Rangoon and Teriyaki Chicken Wings — both delicious and well-prepared. The wings were especially juicy, with a lovely caramelized glaze that balanced sweetness and umami beautifully.
For mains, we enjoyed a selection that truly impressed: – The Szechuan Duck (spicy and full of bold, layered flavours) was perfectly paired with a glass of Ktima Biblia Chora 2023, a crisp white wine that cut through the heat in just the right way. – The Fried Tempura Sushi — filled with salmon, avocado, cucumber and cream cheese — was indulgent and tasty, though the portion was quite large compared to what we’re used to, so it was a bit more than we could finish! – The Peking Duck with Pancakes was classic, tender, and beautifully seasoned — a true highlight.
The service deserves a special mention. The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and eager to recommend pairings or explain dishes.
If you’re in Parga and in the mood for something flavourful and different, this spot is well...

They mostly serve Chinese dishes but offer a sushi menu and a few Thai dishes as well. They have vegetarian and vegan options. I recommend the egg fried rice (which you can get without egg and just vegetables) and the Chinese mushrooms and bamboo- they were delicious together! The edamame was great too.
My partner ordered the chicken chow mein and it came in a beautiful, clever ceramic takeout box.
They even serve Greek-made fortune cookies at the end!

Read moreI give a 2 star for the food, we have phenomenal Chinese food in Toronto Canada. This does not come close. However I give it a one star for the misleading Menu. They advertise 26.50 Euro for dinner for two. When the bill arrived they had charged 26.50 x 2 when I asked to see the menu. I see in very small print that you literally need I microscope to see per person. I guess they don't care for repeat business because of how busy Parga is. Save your money and eat at the local Greek Restaurants and forget about this mediocre...
