Shanghai Gate - Allston

All I tried exceeded my expectation regarding the quality of food. The menu is not big, but they have a good choice. The price is moderate and the share is very decent. But as with all Chinese kitchens, you need to know what your own taste is to build your perfect dinner!

Very authentic Shanghai food. Taste goes a little light but that’s usually how Shanghai food was made. Seat is a little small and space is tight, feel a bit crowded especially with kid. It has dim sum on weekend as well(not the same type of dim sum you could expect eating in Chinatown)

As of today, no dine-in yet,but good food that comes out and stays hot. Packaging was great and the eggplant+dumplings were tasty.

Pretty good. Authentic Chinese food. Just a tad bit bland but again more authentic than American Good portions Decent prices. Around $25 a person

As a Shanghainese, I confirm the menu has some of the traditional Shanghai style dishes. The dishes we tried tasted very homemade, in a good way. Nothing too impressive though. Like the restaurant’s decor.
