I had not been to Shanghai in such a long time and had forgotten how good the food is there. I had the Garlic Shrimp and fried rice and it was very good.

Extremely disappointed in this food. There are certain things you should never forget with Chinese takeout. Tonight we ordered sweet and sour chicken and they forgot the sweet and sour sauce. They offered us credit for a free sweet and sour chicken for our next order, but we probably won't order from here again.So...here's what we ordered and a reviewWonton soup- good flavor, but that weird artificial yellow colorPu pu platter- ribs were very rubbery, everything else had very little flavor. My husband liked the shrimp toast. The crab Rangoon was alllll cream cheese and a little tiny piece of Krab. Sweet and sour chicken- I'm sure it would've been better if we actually got the sauce. But dry and flavor-less. Shrimp Fried Rice- absolutely zero flavor. If I closed my eyes I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and white rice. Honey fried banana- this was good. Things to consider- I really like food with good flavor and I lived on the west coast so I have experience with Chinese takeout there. But either way the food was extremely disappointing.

Solid 4 star, however after getting the Shrimp Toast it was elevated to a 5 because this place provided authentic Shrimp Toast with actual big Shrimp! Wifey did a random search on this place and it came on our radar as we were visiting Durham and family. With no references, we took the gamble with family which everyone loved it, so Shanghai will definitely be on our dining list going forward. The ambiance, service and food were excellent! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

This is our go-to Chinese spot for dine-in and takeout. Although it's 4 miles away, they will not deliver??!! I enjoyed the chicken lo mein, wonton soup, and pork egg rolls. House hot mustard was super hot to me. For my entree, I chose chicken lettuce wraps and added my own peanut sauce. The iceberg lettuce serving was huge; I think it was half of a head of very fresh lettuce. There was plenty for leftovers. Hubby enjoyed the shrimp. Solid joint. Fast service.

Hot and sour soup was delicious, broth was rich and flavorful and paired well with the crispy fried wonton chips. Highly recommend.Mongolian Beef wasn't at all spicy but the flavor makes up for it. Try it with some of the hot chili oil they have at the table for little kick.We also ordered the Happy Family, a house specialty. It had a nice assortment of meats including shrimp, chicken, and pork with vegetables. Well balanced yet tasty. Can't go wrong with this one. Large portions... and came with lots of rice. Each dish could easily feed two. Service was okay. We had to prompt the staff a few times for tea cups and utensils. It was a Saturday evening and the place was quite busy. Great place for groups.

The food has lost flavor and quality. I couldn't eat it and I have tried, even on a different visits. I'm done.It hasn't been the same since we lost Lie Li Wong.I'm sorry to write a bad review but it's not good anymore. So sorry. Getting a new chef would be a suggestion. Restaurant is noisy too. Bussing tables during lunch and staff yelling across tables. Not the same place it was.
