Sadly, we have no Shanghainese restaurants in Louisville, although I'd love it if we could get one.
Oriental House, Red Pepper and Jasmine are the best choices for authentic menus at this point, but their chefs are from Hong Kong (Oriental House) and Sichuan. Jade Palace also for dim sum.
Here's an interesting Website to check what the local Chinese community is saying about restaurants:
Organization of Chinese-Americans of Kentucky restaurant page
Some of the listings are outdated, but they're still adding new entries - there's a Red Pepper listing now. It's fun to see how the local Chinese community views the local dining scene (both Asian and other).
