The chips and salsa were not my favorite. The chips were a bit hard and the salsa was bland, not much flavor and no heat. Now the Pollo Feliz was a different story. This dish was fantastic and would go back just to eat it again. It had flavor and was a filling meal. I did order the Flan as well for dessert. I probably shouldn't have as I was only able to eat a few bites. However, the flan was also really good and apparently runs out as my waitresses had to check to make sure they had any.

I was so glad to see everyone together! It was a hot, humid day, but I was happy to be inside this nice, clean restaurant! Upon entering, I was able to get glasses of iced water, Sprite, and chips and salsa. These workers here were very nice, great customer service! For lunch, I had a $9.00 taco, 2 enchiladas, and rice plate. They brought more chips and salsa, too. I was glad that the salsa wasn't very spicy today as it was so hot outside. I used the salsa on my chicken taco, my 2 ground beef enchiladas, and on the awesome rice that they make! This great meal, with family, at a new place was the most perfect combination for a birthday celebration! I also appreciated clean men's restroom. I definitely would come back here when passing through and highly recommend!!!

I'm going to preface this review with a disclaimer--my parents own this restaurant so some people…read moremay see my review as potentially biased. But some people also think being a Yelper makes them royalty and they derive Karen powers from Elite status so... The past reviews I skimmed through are right--it's not the most exciting "Chinese" food ever. But then again, real Chinese food probably wouldn't fit the local culture all too well. So, if you are in fact seeking genuine Chinese cuisine... the closest Chinatown that exists is in Chicago and OMA airport is just 1.5 hours away. Now, if you're a true local who has seen the restaurant evolve over the years, then you will know just how much love and effort the owners, Susan and Bob, have put into their restaurant and the food. The exterior walls were recently repainted a tan/beige color. Previously it was a stone and white paint exterior. In the past, there would occasionally be racist slurs graffitied on the white walls, which Bob always painted over promptly to ensure guests hopefully didn't have to see such unpleasantries. The interior decor is rather tacky looking in my opinion--but it looks like every other "Chinese" restaurant in small-town Midwest. A neat fact many people may not realize, the paintings that line the walls are hand painted by Bob himself. He was an artist in China before moving to the U.S. There's no music playing in the restaurant but that's because the owners would need to undergo a ton of paperwork and licensing procedures to be able to do so--which isn't exactly something you have time to do when you spend 6 days a week working in the restaurant with the 7th day being dedicated to food prep and administrative duties.. All of the food is prepared fresh in-house, including the breaded chicken, orange sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and crab rangoons. Well, ALMOST all of it is...I am sad to report that the non-existent Anaheim peppers are only figments of people's imagination and the JALAPEÑOS are obviously not grown in the kitchen. (SHRUG) Many people travel to Beatrice and to Shanghai Inn for the crab rangoon and lo mein especially, though. The lo mein recipe is a proprietary in-house recipe that you won't find anywhere else. Lastly, what really gives this restaurant that authentic feel of a "Chinese" restaurant is the fact that the owners still have an accent. They've worked tremendously hard to assimilate into a town that initially was rather weary of newcomers, including learning a new language without taking any classes to do so. So, in a town that has managed to somehow shrink from 13k people to 10k people over the course of 25 years, Shanghai Inn is the only "Chinese" restaurant remaining and I dare say it--for damn good reason. Overall, they get four stars instead of five because their restaurant hours are annoying as their daughter who never gets to see her parents because they're always busy working and trying to impress the food critics who clearly should quit their day jobs, instead. (This is pure sarcasm by the way.) Go, keep your expectations in alignment with the location, enjoy some American Chinese food that is prepared fresh, and for gods sake, tip like a decent human being--or just go to a fast food restaurant or the frozen aisle at the store.

Each Wednesday, on the way home from work, two of my co-workers and myself pick a place to stop and pick up food. In the afternoon I called 3 times and let it ring for minutes each time and no one answered. I tried back a little while later a finally got an answer. I very slowly and concisely read off the 3 orders from the list and the person kept repeating it back to me incorrectly. Finally there was a time when she repeated it correctly and I thought I was safe. When we arrived to pick up our food we were slowed down by the cashier having to add all the orders together to be on one bill. I do not know why that took so long, while it was holding up a group of 8 behind us. My Chile Colorado was horrid. It was not chunks of beef simmered in sauce. It was hard strips with some canned sauce thrown on it. Looks nothing like the picture on their Door Dash. My partner, whom I specifically asked for fajitas tejana, no vegetables, flour tortillas, and only rice and beans, none of the sour cream , lettuce etc.; he got fajitas with all the vegetables, no rice and beans, and no flour tortillas.
