Shanghai Garden Restaurant (traditional Chinese: 滬江春; simplified Chinese: 沪江春), or simply Shanghai Garden, was a Chinese restaurant in Seattle's Chinatown–International District, in the U.S. state of Washington. Established in 1990, the restaurant closed permanently in May 2025.[1][2]
The Chinese restaurant Shanghai Garden operated in Seattle's Chinatown–International District. The interior featured a large saltwater aquarium.[3]
Shanghai Garden catered to a mostly Chinese clientele[4] and served American Chinese and Shanghai cuisine.[5] The menu included approximately 100 options,[6] including barley noodles with spinach and beef, chicken, shrimp, or tofu.[7][8] The restaurant also served black fungus, hot and sour soup, pea vines, and soup dumplings.[5][9][10]
History
Helen and chef Hua Te Su opened the restaurant in 1990. The business relocated in 1992. The couple opened a second location in Issaquah in 1996. The outpost operated for approximately one decade. Following Helen's death in 2005, four children took over the family business: Betty, Christine, Dan, and Kathy Su-Tsow.[1]
