Shanghai Restaurant 富仔記

This Shanghai Restaurant 富仔記 has served me some great meals. That's why I have an upgraded opinion with this updated review.I came here one night looking for some home style dinner. It was cold winter in the middle of the week. I didn't know the closing time but I saw a couple still eating there. I ordered pepper ribs and a bowl of rice. I didn't think of anything but realized the employees are eating... Appeared to be eating dinner as end of their shift. Oh shoot I said. One employee came to me and said, "no hurry. You can stay until you're finished."Wow. So nice. Yeah. I hate to be rushed. It was actually my first-time dining in. I loved the decorations and those home feeling. No wonder it's been featured by Chow Down in Chinatown group many times.For the same reason I recommended my neighbor brought her family to dine here tonight. Because they took good care of me that night.

If you try anything, you need the general tso's chicken, sweet and sour pork, and the fried spare ribs. Hands down the best! Seated immediately and they were able to accommodate a large party. Service was fast and staff were friendly. They came around often to refill drinks. Everyone enjoyed their food. Great portion sizes and great prices. You can tell this place has regulars and fills up quickly.

I couldn't resist trying the salt-toasted spare ribs, and they were absolutely fantastic! A definite must-try when you visit. The staff is incredibly friendly, providing top-notch service, and the food arrived surprisingly fast. Highly recommended!

Food is great but there's hardly anyone eating in here which is a pity. Food does take a bit to come out though so be prepared to wait.

If you're craving authentic Cantonese food. This place offers the best ones. I've been coming here since I moved to Houston but with the influx of new restaurants I haven't been here for a long time. Plus they opened at 12 noon while others opened at 11. I happen to be in the vicinity so I decided to dine here. What I noticed is it's almost empty unlike before but the food is still good. I surely will comeback soon. Lets support good food Let's support this restaurant

I've been dining here for almost 2 decades when their location was closer to Fiesta on Bellaire. I know the husband/wife owners as he is the chef while she manages the register. I remember seeing the chef on his wife beater shirt chatting with patrons while the wife never had a good attitude serving customers. There're a few other Cantonese restaurants throughout the years and I haven't been back since 2018 until yesterday.We were deciding where to have lunch and my husband pointed at Shanghai restaurant thinking they serve xialongbao. Well, their restaurant's name is mis-leading as it's a Cantonese restaurant and almost everyone speaks Cantonese. It has been a long time and I thought why not?The place was completely empty for a Sunday's lunch around 12:30 pm. The server greeted us with paper menus and seated us afterwards. I wasn't sure if they are still owned by the same couple but turned out yes!I saw their now adult son sitting in the back. We got a couple of rice plates: beef with bitter melon and fish filets with veggies. I also ordered their poached chicken (1/2 chicken) served cold and dip with ginger scallion sauce. Both rice plates tasted good; lots of rice but small portion in terms of proteins/veggies. The chicken dish was average but the ginger sauce helped. I love this and always get more in the past. I have never been charged extra for the sauce. Naturally, I asked for more. I was surprsied to see $1 for the ginger sauce. While I don't mind paying for it but think the waitress should inform us first. In addition, if the chicken has more flavors, we probably don't need so much sauce to eat with. Maybe we'll be back in a few years...

Fat noodles w beef and no gravy is absolutely delicious!!! I can't remember the proper name but it is very delicious

Taste :4.1/5Environment: 3.8/5Service/: 4.4/5Aged family owned Cantonese style place .The environment is a bit old but the waitress are friendly to mitigate the atmosphere.It's the place suits for 3-4 ppl above in order to share platesRecommend fried pork 炸排骨&魚香茄子

A favorite place for us!! Ventured back since pandemic (been awhile) and found the same friendly faces and fantastic foods. Ms Queenie, not there today, once told us her food was Cantonese style. Her sister runs it now and she's an absolute joy and remembered us! Newly remodeled and fresh in red decor the place seems nicer new and fresh. Our dishes were absolutely fantastic. We were told no beer or wine license and no mention of BTOB. The entire Plaza has been remodeled and adds alot to be seen. Casual dining atmosphere and unrushed. Check for hours of operation. See ya there!

If you want authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go. They're family owned, from the chefs to the servers. Really hard to pinpoint down to what is good but just about everything you order is good and very flavorful. It's all family style, so the more people the more dishes you can try.
