Shang Hai Gourmet

I am not from the Los Altos area but my daughter recommended it as a favorite of their family and I can certainly see why. When I come to visit the first place we go for a delicious chinese meal is ShangHai Gourmet. The food is exceptional and it is also a pleasure to be able to take my 3 yr old grandson as they seem to cater to families. Besides the traditional fortune cookies the waiter usually has a little candy surprise wrapped in a glistening gold wrapper for him.

Take out is easy and the abundance of food is evident in the fact that we are guaranteed a nice lunch the following day.

PROS: Top cuts of meat, no hidden fat, gristle, etc
CONS: Parking can be iffy at times although their is a lot in the rear

I've really enjoyed all the dishes I've had at Shanghai Gourmet, and I've always found the staff very accommodating of my young children. When I order take-out, they often give me a free bowl of soup or an appetizer, and their recommendations for daily specials have never led me astray.
