Shanghai Diamond Garden — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Delicious authentic Chinese food. An Iranian Jew bought the place, made it Kosher, and retained the original Chinese chefs. I believe it is co owned together with one of the Chinese chefs.

Prices were reasonable and portions were nicely sized. Great tasty and affordable place to go with the family and split dishes.

Ambiance was very nice. Family feel, but with some fancy vibes.

Service was excellent. John was our waiter. He was lightning fast and very sweet.

I highly recommend getting the House Fried Wontons as an appetizer. They were scrumptious and had a very unique taste! The egg roll appetizer was nice and well worth the price for 4 medium sized egg rolls.

Egg drop soup was alright. Had to have a couple spoonfulls before catching on to it. I dont reccomend eating anything salty right before tasting this soup.

Chicken Low Mein was AMAZING. Flavors and textures were perfect!!! This is definitley an UMAME dish. Crunchy bean sprouts and yummy green onions. Savory mushroom and juicy delicious chicken. An absoutley tantilizing menu item.

They even have an entire menu of alocohlic drinks! Strawberry daqueri was spectacular, garnished with beautiful mint. And the House Sake was super interesting! Must be prepared for a novel tastebud experience. And its pretty strong. Beware if you are driving!

Highly...

We used to order once a week from Shanghai through DoorDash. One week they forgot our rice and for some reason gave us half a portion of chicken lo Mein- honest mistake right? So I call Shanghai and they said instead of sending their driver back with the rice they will give us a credit for rice and chicken lo mein for next time. Reasonable right? A few weeks later I call back to use my credit and the manager tells me that they can’t find my credit and that it’s impossible that there was a mistake with my order. His words were “ I don’t mean to insult you but it’s impossible that my kitchen sent you half a portion.” And he refused to honor the credit… all this for one chicken lo mein and rice??? Worst customer service I’ve ever seen.

They lost...

The service & food has gone downhill as of recently. All the waiters had no clue of the goings on. Serving food with no plates, ignoring us, waiting forever for our check when they were all standing around. The food was awful. I think most of the items were frozen. The egg rolls were terrible. Very greasy and super well done. Fast food is better than this place and 1/2 the price. It seemed like another commercial boring restaurant with exorbitant prices and bad quality. We came at about 2:30 and it was very hot outside and inside. The owner shuts down the AC at odd times to conserve energy and it was boiling in the restaurant. I would NOT recommend anyone going to Shanghai. There are plenty of other Chinese Kosher...
