I was first impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant, and how friendly the staff is. The woman greeted us with an authentic smile, the kind that truly appreciates you as a guest. Their service reflected the same. I felt welcome.
I appreciated the silver chop sticks, and the upscale atmosphere. If you are looking for an excellent dining experience, this is the place! I ordered Sesame Chicken (which does have a bit of a rubbery texture like another reviewer had mentioned), but the flavor was amazing. I chalk it up to being unique. They use a different cooking method than others. I like unique! Leftovers tasted even better the next day.
My husband ordered General Tso's chicken. Said it was the very best he's ever had. He had just returned from 6 days in AZ on a food conference experimenting different foods for his job, but said this was probably the best food he had tried all week!
The dinner specials are $8.99 ( includes, soup, main entree, side of rice, and caraffe of Jasmine hot tea).

John's Shanghai has a nice menu offering dozen of Chinese dishes. The food is very good. Try the steamed buns.
The pork n buns are fantastic and they are the only ones in town with Shanghai style soup dumplings (probably the best in the State and the most comparable to the ones I've had in China) ... And the Thai iced tea is delicious and also the cheapest in town
Very tasty dishes! Big portions! Servers were very polite!!! Would highly recommend the pork soup dumplings (;
Their crab meat xiao long bao is delicious. If you want to experience Chinese dishes. This is the restaurant you must go in State College
I have eaten in once and gotten delivery once and was very impressed both times. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very lovely and I especially liked the metal chopsticks. The fried rice was delicious, as was the chicken I got. A lot of Chinese food in State College is pretty bland, but John’s Shanghai has so much rich, delicious flavor. My new go-to for Chinese in town - I’ve been recommending it to everyone!
