Rui's Shanghai Bistro is a chinese restaurant in Redlands, California. It is listed at 405 W Stuart Ave, Redlands, CA 92374, which places it among the local businesses of Redlands that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as dim sum restaurant, shanghainese restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Redlands; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9:15 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.
