Editorial Review for Shanghai Red's – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Waterfalls, a koi pond and a jungle of plants form the entryway, which leads to a dining room with marina views through large windows. Dates and families order from the standard surf-and-turf menu--in giant portions and with all the fixings. Fried onion strings or garlic mashed potatoes are side options for entrees like New York strip steak, and salmon in champagne-artichoke sauce. Desserts include chocolate-covered strawberries and a box full of chocolate mousse.

My fiance and I went for the sunday brunch. We were seated promptly and the waiters were very attentive, making sure that our champagne was always flowing. The food was actually pretty good too, but it doesn't quite match the price tag. I guess you're also paying for the view. Nice place to go if you want to mix things up.
Pros: The view, good service
Cons: Price

Last weekend we were married on the beautiful patio of Shanghai Red's Restaurant at sunset. We chose this location because it was right on the water, the food at SR's is delicious, and the sight of the sailboats going by is magical. SR's is right off the 90 freeway, parking is simple, and free with a SR validation! There are several hotels within just a few miles, which was important because we had many out of town guests. The entrance of the restaurant is wonderful, with waterfalls and bridges over the ponds that are filled with the largest koi fish I've ever seen! You could feel the romance before even entering the front doors. The ceremony area was set up beautifully, with every perfect detail. It was a windy afternoon/evening, so SR's staff had several heat lamps distributed to keep our guests warm. The gazebo made a dreamy backdrop for our vows. Following the ceremony, our guests enjoyed beautifully displayed appetizers and they were either served their cocktails or they visited the patio bar. Our 80 guests were then lead into the Southbay room that overlooks the patio/marina, which was elegantly decorated, with a dancefloor in the middle. It looked FANTASTIC! The catering manager is extremely professional, yet warm and accomodating. I had many detailed requests and she met them all, cheerfully and with a smile. The banquet manager is kind, attentive and works at lightening speed. I am very detail oriented and wanted nothing less than perfection, and they worked diligently to ensure that I was happy. One of our guests is a wedding coordinator, and she said that she was VERY impressed by the staff and the location. She cannot wait to recommend SR's to her new clients. We had SUCH a great time, and our guests REALLY HAD FUN!! The majority of folks danced at least a few times...some folks never left the dancefloor! It's too bad we can't have another wedding, because if we could, we would DEFINITELY do it at SR's again!
Pros: Food, location, parking, staff, service, prices
Cons: Not a good place for young children since it is near the water
