Shanghai Chinese - Bristol

This is an amazing family-owned gem in Bristol's historic downtown area. We dined outdoors on the covered patio, right along State St. Some highlights of our meal include: the best hot and sour soup I have had anywhere; shatteringly crisp *homemade* spring rolls (the peppery beef one is especially delicious); locally sourced roast duck; pan-fried shrimp and water chestnuts; and a chow mei fun strewn with fluffy egg and vegetables. Everything was delicious, and we can't waitto return!

I went to this restaurant a few hours ago and I definitely will not be back. I ordered the Japanese Udon Noodle Soup and as I was eating, I noticed a little dead bug in the soup. I then looked closer at what I thought was pepper or seasoning and every single black speck had legs. There were tens of tiny bugs in my meal. Edit: After receiving a reply from the owner, I will add a few things for clarity. After noticing the bugs and bringing them to the attention of thestaff, they offered only to take that single dish off our bill. We told them that we did not feel that we should have to pay for any of it, and thankfully they did not give us a hard time. We immediately left the restaurant and no one fromour party of four ate any more of their meals after I found bugs in mine. More than half of each meal was left on the table. I also find it incredibly odd, and I am honestly quite offended, that it has been said that the kitchen staffdidn't find anything strange about the dish. I will not waste any more time on this, but I do not think that this is acceptable.

We continue to love their food offerings and friendly service

My family and I dined in for the first time today. The owner was so sweet and genuinely kind. I absolutely love that he is so welcoming and kind. He definitely made us feel like family even though we were strangers that had just met. The food was pretty good but his kindness bought my loyalty. He was so kind to a homeless man that came in asking for food and took the time to talk to us about how he came America. I am so happy to see such a humble person living the American Dream and having such a big heart. Thank you for everything! God bless you.

They always have the best food and it is always fresh!
