Shanghai Bistro

This is my fave spot for sushi. The sushi chef is very cool! My fave things are Saki and Salmon and avocado rolls. The atmosphere is great and they have excellent customer service!

Awesome menu options, great happy hour selections and prices! I have never had a bad experience here. I will miss the patio in the downtown Stillwater location, but will continue to frequent this location in its place. Also, they do great weeknight specials on different days.

I was leery upon arrival as there were only 4 customers. I was in the mood for sushi, so I decided to give it a try. My server was great and the menu was surprisingly diverse. My food was excellent. I’m shocked this place wasn’t busy.

Best sushi, the guys are always going out of their way to please the customers at sushi bar. I know when they make a roll that isn’t made right they never send it out.
Best place ever

Great sushi, but staff has not improved and the manager again is not attentive. I think I’ll have to pass next visit up here.

Sorry to see their Stillwater location close. Will look forward to trying the Hudson location.

Just ate here for the last time. Awful service, seriously took forever. Food was cold. Spent way too much money on a really poor experience. Our waiter could not have cared less.

Love the gluten free options for numerous menu items. Excellent service on every visit. My favorite is the gf chicken mushroom with cashews.

My friend and I came in about a half hour before close, and the entire staff made it known to us that we were not wanted to come in and eat, which was extremely uncomfortable. Our server was rude and mumbling to us. She said they weren’t making any more fried rice even though they weren’t closed and told my friend that they couldn’t make her a different kind of sushi roll even though she has done it every other time she has come in. The sushi was good, but probably will get sushi somewhere else from now on.

Their sushi is the best!!! The Salmon sake just melts in your mouth it’s so fresh. The sushi chef we had (johnny) was super nice and attentive. I would love to come back.

Great food and service! The restaurant was clean and servers were attentive. We will be back!

Sushi is delicious and always fresh! Hot food is great too. Always fresh veggies and quality meat in each entrée! :) give it a whirl!

A great place if you are looking for sushi! The staff is very friendly and they occasionally have great specials. It only gets a 3 out of 5 because the service is not the fastest and it is a little pricey for what you get, but overall a great place.

Real toss-​up on which ‘Chinese’ food in Hudson sucks the most: Dragon Pearl or Shanghai Bistro. DP clearly the front runner on lack of flavor of any kind, whereas SB finishes first in gastrointestinal distress. SB does have beer served in bar glasses (labeled Bud Light, etc) which is true a mark of high class any time they are used in a setting outside the bar or home. I’m gonna put DP just slightly above SB for now. Won’t be back at either soon to update review.

Delicious sushi! Bad piggy roll is the best ever! Plus kids eat free on Tuesday is awesome :)

I love the sushi bar here. But they must not sell much sake because the waitress let it slip that they heated my sake in a microwave. They make sake warmers for goodness sake. I don’t ever want to go to any kitchen that heats anything in a microwave. Cold sake from now on I guess.

I’ve been to Shanghai Bistro in Hudson about 7 or 8 times since they opened. It takes me about 6 months to forget how bad they are and I give them another chance. I really want them to get it right as I enjoy sushi and asian food in general, but someone must be trying to save money somewhere and thinks the perimeter burbs customers can’t tell what good food should be.
This time I stopped at Shanghai for lunch after I heard they had new bento boxes on the menu. I ordered the «classic bento» with rice and teriyaki chicken and miso soup. They missed on everything but the rice.
I’m only going to go into detail about the chicken. Not hard to cook chicken breast, right? After other bad experiences there I figured it would be a «safe» option. It arrived as a 4″ block of white meat substance with a single slice half way through it, probably for the cook to check if it was done. Usually teriyaki has the meat cut up already, right since you’re going to be eating it with chopsticks? That’s ok, I’ll cut it myself. I could barely cut it with the provided butter knife. It was obviously chicken, but I had never experienced any chicken this tough, yet not burnt. I sat there wondering if it had been poorly handled by thaw and re-​freezing or something. I let my friend try it and he didn’t believe it was chicken.
After a discussion in the parking lot about what happened, we came upon what it must have been. Microwaved. Likely straight from frozen state to microwaved tough.
So, if you’re into over-​microwaved chicken, try Shanghai Bistro! I don’t have the courage to try the sushi.

I go here often and the staff is great and the food even better. The sushi chefs are the best and they will go way beyond reasonable to make the occasion a special one. As the photo shows, they wrote «Will you marry me» in Japanese on the sushi serving dish (Oct 2012) to make my proposal perfect!

I eat here often mostly for lunch. The food is always fresh and it tastes wonderful. There is a good variety on the menu including sushi which is excellent. Ive yet to have a bad experience.

i am still figuring out where in the area I can get my Chinese food fix… this is it!!!
I decided to come in out of the cold and get a drink while ordering take out. Damn they were fast with my food… when I got home it was delicious. I got sweet n sour chicken and it was loaded with delicious chunks of pineapple. The husband got his standard The General Chicken and he loved it also.
I had no idea this place had such a nice atmosphere. Very nice bar… you can watch the chefs make sushi and such on down further and they even had nice live music…
I asked the guy to make me a cosmo and it came out too red for my taste but I drank it and next time will just order wine or beer…
