Shanghai Terrace at The Peninsula Chicago

Foodies take note. This is how a 5 star hotel should run a restaurant. The prices are reasonable and in line with the level of service, decor and food, which the best Chinese in Chicago outside of Chinatown. The Peking Duck was incredible, and the Dim Sum small plates are excellent. This is a hidden gem for sure.

I went to Shanghai Terrace with my husband for dinner, and we loved it.  The food was excellent.  We started with the shrimp roll, which was tasty and hot in temperature.  The dipping sauce for it was so good.  For our main course, we split two dishes, both which were phenomenal:  beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken.  They were not drenched in sauces, like you usually get at a Chinese restaurant.  They were still very flavorful though.  The service was very good.  The wait staff was extremely attentive, and the atmosphere was authentic.  I loved every second of it, and can't wait to go back!

Excellent service - romantic - especially like duck, Kung pao fish and can't go wrong with anything else!
