Shanghai Kitchen sur Marseille

This must be the only Chinese restaurant in Marseille where you actually get Chinese food and not a mix of everything from Asia. They also have the best eggplant in Marseille. Always make a reservation because otherwise you'll never get a table. Be aware of the loud customers, but at least you feel comfortable doing the same. The young waitress was so nice.

My favorite Asian restaurant in Marseille

The food was decent, the taste was good, it was authentic Chinese cuisine, and the price wasn't expensive. However, the service was truly appalling. There were three of us, and when we entered the restaurant, there were only two tables occupied, with about a dozen empty tables. The staff seated us in the corner (pictured below). Sitting there, one person was facing the wall, and the other was pressed against it, making it difficult to reach food or communicate. When we asked to sit elsewhere, the staff said they would check if other seats were reserved for the evening. I just want to ask, were all those dozen or so seats booked? With only one or two tables occupied, they immediately seated us in this kind of spot? Even if we had reservations, how long could we possibly eat for a casual meal? It's been so long since I've traveled all over Europe, and this is the first time I've encountered such a situation.

Don't expect to find dishes like at your local all-you-can-eat buffet! There, you'll find authentic local dishes. In fact, their main menu is in Chinese, but they also have one in French if you don't read it (like me). Excellent and truly original dishes that you won't find everywhere. Definitely worth discovering!!

Having lived in Shanghai, I can attest to the true flavors of the country. It's a pure joy to find authentic Chinese cuisine that actually tastes good.

Authentic Chinese cuisine with delicate flavors and well-balanced dishes 😋. The service is quick and friendly, the atmosphere relaxed 🧧✨. Generous portions and excellent value for money 💶👍. Whether it's stir-fried noodles or homemade dim sum, every bite is a true delight 🍤🍚. I highly recommend this friendly spot! 🎉🍽️

Authentic Chinese cuisine, the kind you rarely find. We tried several dishes and everything was delicious. We'll be back.

I very much enjoyed the food here. They took me in on a busy night without a reservation. The flavors of both their spicy dishes and lighter, steamed seafood dishes are very authentic. I recommend the spicy pepper beef and steamed garlic shrimp. Yes, the service style is maybe more direct and more minimal. But a number of my favorite Asian joints are like this, and I don’t mind at all. Would come here again and again.

I wish I lived in Marseille so I could go back and eat there every week: it was delicious! My friend chose fish and told me she'd never eaten any so good, it was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent. The atmosphere isn't anything special, the dining room is quite small and I don't think it's suitable for large groups of friends, but the food was truly a delight.

One of my favorite restaurants in Marseille! Admittedly, from the outside, it doesn't exactly entice you to go in! But the food is excellent, everything is homemade, there are only a few tables, and you really do feel a bit like you're in their own kitchen! The dishes are delicious and the quality/price ratio is perfect! I highly recommend it! 👍
