I drive out here for these reasons:\n\nI like me some fake duck.\nThey have an insane wine list, and a decent beer list.\n\nClosed on Monday, open for lunch and dinner the rest of the week, Shanghai is better-than-average Chinese fare that has a full page of veg-friendly options. It is also very affordable, with mains coming in at about $9-$10 each. Its a smaller menu than I'm used to, and not everything is available (looking to try the \"vegetarian seafood medley\" I was informed it was no longer being served, since no one was ordering it). A surprising number of the appetizers are, however. We went with Lettuce Cups, which was pretty standard, except for the sauce that accompanied it. No plum sauce here, but spicy, watery, sweet-sour hot mustard! Wowza! I was happy.\n\nLike Donna said, they'll do whatever level of hot you want. I ordered my stuff at a 9 (out of 10) and wasn't satisfied. You can ask for whole chili's rather than dried flakes, and that's my plan for the next time I come, 'cos I crave the heat. \n\nI'd have another star to award Shanghai, but I find the lack of veg-friendly soups a little sad, having to pick through their larger-than-what-they-actually-serve menu a bit of a hassle, and the flavors a little far over the \"too sweet\" line.
