456 Shanghai serves popular Chinese dishes that appeal to most people, though the flavors are fairly ordinary. Their lunch special is a very cost-effective option for a quick and filling meal. For only $9.25, you get rice, an entrée, and hot and sour soup. Overall, the food quality matches the price.

I’ve been to 456 New Shanghai many times, and it’s one of my favorite places to eat in Chinatown. The food is always tasty and authentic — it really reminds me of the flavors from China. I especially love the xiao long bao; the hot soup inside is so satisfying. My favorite dish is the crispy pork chops with salt and pepper — crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. It’s a great spot for delicious Chinese food without spending too much.

The place is fantastic, food really terrific and tasty, and I have to say, enormous portions.
My wife and I happened to be in New York, all the way from Northern Ireland, and while here hopped on a bus, hopped off at China town, and did a bit of shopping, and decided to have something to eat.
I asked, very politely, a passer by were would be nice to get something to eat.
A restaurant she replied, I said yes, and around the corner is a really good one, meaning New Shanghai.
Not disappointed, as we were seated and offered menus, large selection, drinks, and water.
I happened to ask if the portions were large, and thankfully I did, as we ordered one meal, of which was sweet and sour chicken, and it was more than enough for the two of us, and we unfortunately couldn’t finish it, and not for the want for trying, as it was delicious.
Top tip, if you’re not sure, ask a local.

Went here with a couple of friends and it was delicious. Amazing late night dinner find. Pan fried noodles were delicious although a lot of oil pooled at the bottom. Still give it a try though! Soup dumplings are always a classic here – hot, flavorful and super tasty! Stop here to get some great authentic eats!

BE CAREFUL – when we paid in cash, the server automatically kept 30% tip, and gave us less change. They did not tell us they would do that. They did not allow us to choose how much to tip. Otherwise, food is great.

Last night, we had food at a restaurant in Shanghai, and the food was delicious—we enjoyed it, and the atmosphere was nice. But the biggest problem was that they really overcharged us. We didn’t feel good about it. For example, they had added a value-added tax, then an extra 18%, we were just 3. Then an additional tax of about 10%, and then at the very end, when we gave them the card to charge, they added another 2 or 3 dollars saying it was for the device they use to swipe the card, because the device isn’t free. That was the first thing I noticed. Adding up all the charges, they overcharged way too much. This doesn’t create a good feeling for the customer; it makes you feel like they see you as money. Also, their English wasn’t great—but that was okay, since it was a Chinese area, and maybe that was part of the charm!! May be! But when they charged us so much, it just didn’t feel good at all!

I came here twice when visiting NYC. Great food, fast service. The only thing that left sour taste in mouth – added obligatory “service charge” second time. We were family 2 adults 3 kids. First time they didnt charge extra and I happily left about 20% tip. Second time – they suddenly added 18% service charge. Not that I wouldnt leave a tip… but I would appreciate for parties of 5 it would be my choice. Never had experience like that with parties of 5.

I got the peanut butter noodles and was honestly disappointed to say the least. Maybe I just wasn’t expecting them to be served cold, or for the flavor to be better. They tasted like normal, cold noodles with a ton of peanut butter and soy sauce.
The whole place was packed though, so I’m sure they have great food! I’d love to come back and order something else. The staff was great at getting me a table quickly, even thought there wasn’t a lot of open space. Very fun vibe!

The food was absolutely delicious! We had chicken lo mein, soup dumplings, and sweet and sour chicken (with sauce on the side – our preference.) They have plenty of seating, good service, and the food came out in good timing and was very fresh and hot. We also received hot tea when we were seated. 10/10 recommend!
