Shanghai Pavilion

Phone: (212) 585-3388

Since 2004, Shanghai Pavilion has been serving the most delicious Shanghai style Chinese food in a sleek and inviting location on the Upper East Side at 1378 Third Avenue.

Shanghai Pavilion’s most requested menu item is their famous Soup Dumplings filled with pork and crabmeat- a must try. While their menu offers a treasure trove of Shanghai specialties including Beggar’s Chicken, Wu Xi Spareribs and Lobster with scallions and ginger, there is also a plethora of classic Chinese crowd pleaser classics such as General Tso’s Chicken and Lo Mein for the less adventurous.

Host Simon Wu and his team of friendly and courteous wait staff make everybody feel welcome and happily help guests to navigate the menu. Most evenings, Shanghai Pavilion’s dining room is filled with a local and loyal customer base. It is a welcoming spot for both couples and families alike. There are also excellent value lunch specials and an efficient delivery service throughout the day and evening.

Shanghai Pavilion's menu is online at www.shanghaipavillionnyc.com (and yes, I know that pavilion is spelled differently in their web site address, but so it goes!)
