Reviews Overview

Most Liked

A standout feature at Shanhai House is the generous portion size that keeps diners happy and satisfied. The Beef in Black Bean Sauce garners rave reviews for its perfectly cooked meat, the rib meat falls right off the bone, a true delight for meat lovers. Customers rave about the quick delivery service that ensures meals arrive hot and fresh, ready to enjoy immediately. The convenience of microwaveable containers allows for easy reheating, making leftovers just as enjoyable. Friendly staff consistently provide top-notch service, greeting diners with warmth and making everyone feel at home.

Most Disliked

Some diners express frustration with the limited seating during busy hours, especially on weekends. Meanwhile, others wish there were more variety in dessert options; the current offerings of Pineapple and Banana Fritters, while tasty, leave some wanting more. A few reviews mention that occasionally, delivery times can be longer during peak hours, which may lead to impatience for those eagerly waiting to indulge in their favorite dishes. Lastly, while the prices are reasonable, a handful of diners feel certain items could be slightly more affordable.

Amazing little place, my chow mein came in a round plastic pot that I could microwave and reheat my food without having to transfer it on to a safe microwaveable container, which was very handy. My food itself was bigger than normal portions I get, and there was a lot of options of food to chose from. 😃

I have been enjoying Shangai house food since around 2011ish. Food has always been freshly made, absolutly delicious, portions are big and over time standards have not changed. Staff are always lovely and helpful. Since I'm not living around the corner anymore, we get delived, it's always on time and still warm. So thank you so very much for your hard work Shangai house people 😊

Just ordered for the first time... really impressed. Beef in black bean sauce cooked superbly... rib meat falls off the bone, best spring rolls & chicken balls I've tasted... every dish full of flavour. Quick delivery & too hot to eat straight away, as it should be. Great price, great food, great service 😊 thank you!

It was a 'must have a Chinese delivery' moment! The delivery companies have a limited selection so I took to trawling the Web. Shanghai had a number of very positive reviews so I rang up. No delay in response by a very friendly assistant who explained that they could deliver to Denton but there would be a surcharge which I was ok with. The food arrived hot within 35 mins (told it would be at least an hour). The ribs in sauce were fantastic; loads of them and lots of meat too. The House rice was also delicious and had a lot of varying meats and prawns. The duck with ginger and spring onions was not on the menu but they made it for me anyway (a little more duck would have been appreciated). Possibly the best delivered Chinese in years and will certainly use again! This is a cash only delivery so ensure you can cover it before ordering 😉
