Great Chinatown spot with cozy, authentic vibes and amazing food. The pork soup dumplings were perfectly juicy and the Shanghai lo mein noodles and sautéed chicken with garlic sauce were flavorful and satisfying. Portions were large, and the service was super quick. Definitely worth a visit! Their card machine was apparently broken so it was cash only tonight.

Crispy shredded beef is my dish. I have only been able to find two instances since my first intro over 30 years ago. It was my mission on this trip to NYC to find reliable crispy beef. 456... Mission accomplished. So good. Portions are really too large but still worth it. Also recommend the sesame chicken and sweet sour chicken as well as garlic green beans.

Been too long since we visited NYC, happy to be back to 456, a family favorite. Menu had our favorites, reasonable pricing. Service was prompt, food brought out hot, fresh and tasty. We’ll definitely be back!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable meal in Chinatown, 456 Shanghai on Mott Street is the place to go! We visited with our family of five, and it was hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. The steamed soup dumplings—both the shrimp and pork and the pork—were the best we’ve ever had, easily the top dumplings on Mott Street. The fried soup dumplings were also great, but the steamed ones really stole the show. The General Tso’s chicken was phenomenal—crispy, flavorful, and not overly sweet, the best we’ve ever tasted. We also tried the orange chicken and the Shanghai rice cakes, both of which were delicious. If you’re in Chinatown, don’t miss out on the best dumplings in town. The food, service, and atmosphere at 456 Shanghai make it a must-visit!

The food was ok we tried here 1. Vegetarian Dimsum 2. Dai-Lu Noodle In Soup 3. Earl gray shrimp 4. Earl gray chicken If you are a Chinese food lover you should try here.

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!

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.

Pretty good experience . Everything was fresh. They forgot my tea. Place is very busy. Pretty expensive . Expect a wait for a table

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.

It’s okay. Crispy duck was a bit dry, seafood platter was delicious and TSOs was average. I expected more from the heart of NYC Chinatown 🤷🏼‍♂️

I come to this restaurant for the 3rd time. I like how they cook and cook dishes quickly. The waiters are friendly and overall the atmosphere is pleasant. The downsides are the dirty floors, the stairs have never been washed. And it's a bit strange that the toilet is next to the kitchen. You stand waiting for your turn, I'm the toilet, and two steps away they make you dumplings

Food was decent, a bit on the salty side. Very obviously caters to tourists and as such a bit on the higher end for price. For a tourist that wants to try some authentic chinese food, still a great option.

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!
