Shanghai House

Let's start with the call, woman who I spoke with was short and rushed me off the phone, hung up on me even.Was disappointed when they said they no longer do boneless spare ribs.Crab rangoons, dry with little filling.Hot and sour soup, only had mushrooms and tofu. No carrots bean sprouts etc.Mongolian beef, ZERO spice or flavor, more veg and hardly any meat at all. In a brown flavorless gravy.Fried rice? ZERO veggies. We found one piece of egg in two orders of it. Sad.Pork and snow peas, again, same brown sauce no flavor and TONS of snow peas hardly any meat.I would highly advise against eating here. It appears they are trying to save nickels and dimes and cut out as much as they can. Stingy for what they make you pay. Very disappointed.

3 stars? 4 stars? Somewhere between I guess. BLUF - good food with terrible order taking system and terrible timing.Food is pretty good but the timing of the kitchen is so bad it's laughable. Everything is pick up, there are tables and chairs inside but I've never once seen anyone eat it it's always to go and the tables and chairs are for hanging out as you wait.... and wait.... and wait.... for the order you called to place some time ago. The "system" in place is archaic - just orders scribbled on random scribbled pieces of paper which I'm sure leads to missing items if you aren't diligent about specifying what you are there to pick up and what is in your order.Most recent visit I was told it'd be 40-45 minutes. Turned out to be more like 80 minutes, 40 of which were spent sitting in one of the aforementioned chairs at one of the aforementioned tables with a bunch of other people waiting for their orders. Small snarky side note - I was the only person waiting reading an actual honest to God real paper book - everyone else was on their phone watching Tik Tok or Instagram or some other crap. Anyway rant over - good food for sure but the time it takes to be made is crazy and I don't know if you can ever trust it at all.

The cook, who I assume is also the owner is preparing the food. I have not seen any gloves worn and he has handled all different types of ingredients and food items. Have not properly washing of hands either. Nobody is within the restaurant, so that probably says something too.

Good local take out. I do wish they would put vegetables in my sweet-and-sour chicken. However, not too many people care about the vegetables on that. I'm spoiled because I'm a foodie and I love Asian food so venture out in Memphis. I definitely will still go there though because I feel like I need to support them so one of them will smile. Owners are definitely hard-working, maybe they are tired.

Long-time family run establishment . Good prices and large portions! Fried rice is always a go too.

The worst hot and sour soup I've ever had. Left a disgusting after taste in your mouth. It was neither hot nor sour just gross. The shrimp fried rice was mushy. The food was just not good. Which is sad bc the cooks seems so nice. But this is a hard pass.

The orange chicken was Very Good but that was it. Shrimp was almost mushy and the meat in the house fried rice had no seasoning. The house chow mein didn't have noodles in it. Wish I would have known. I guess I was supposed to use the bag of hard "noodles" that came with it. TOOK FOREVER TO GET FOOD.

Very good food !! The sesame chicken is the best I have enjoyed eating. The hot and sour soup is excellent. Egg drop soup is very good! They cook food to order which you get it fresh and hot!!

Perfect quick lunch. Sweet and sour chicken fried rice, egg roll ..................................................,.,.

food... the hot and spicy beef dish I ordered was undercooked. the meat also had a bad smell. it was covered with sauce in attempts to cover the bad taste. refused a refund.
