"I love Chinese cuisine both American and traditional styles. So, having tried countless restaurants, I'm pleased to say this is my favorite. Shanghai Tokyo (ST) is located on highway 1 near the University of Maryland, College Park. There are other restaurants, a walking trail, and metro rail station nearby as well. Across the street on the same side of the highway is a convenient pay to park lot it's pretty cheap in comparison to other parking lots in the DC Metro area. ST isn't huge, and offers a naturally lit, relaxed ambiance. The staff are quite friendly, and have offered some flavorful recommendations. I often go with friends so that we can eat family style and I can get to taste as many of the dishes as possible. Last time, we had the Ma Po Tofu, Beef with Peppers, beef Chow Mein, Chicken Mei Fun, and Four Season Green Beans. Each were exquisite. The tofu was cooked well and lightly spicy as done in Sichuan. The green beans had a mix of spice, umami, salt, and pepper to give a well balanced profile. Both of the noodle dishes had tender meat and noodles NOT too saucy. Lastly, the beef with long peppers was spicy, yet well seasoned. In addition to Chinese food, the restaurant also has Thai and Japanese cuisines as well. I've had both their curries and sushis before and they were also great. Overall, this place has some of the best Asian food I've ever had. I can't recommend ST enough."
