My Szechuan chicken was excellent as the chicken was tender and a very good taste to the sauce I'm sorry I don't recall what she had but I thought I had already posted once before, but I don't see it so I'm not sure what happened to it Service great turnaround time from placing my order in person to receiving it and going out the door If I lived in this area, it would certainly be one of my go to places for Chinese food

Service was prompt and friendly! Our food came out quickly and exactly as ordered. Wonton soup is…read moreone of my personal favorites & I believe to be the best version in the area. I was a bit let down by the lo mein sauce but all in all it was okay. The restaurant was busy, mostly with takeout orders.

We've been twice in five days. Is it the best Chinese bar I've been to? No. Not by a long shot…read more But, Marion is a small Appalachian town and this is the only Chinese option. The folks who run it are friendly. The bar was kept well stocked even between lunch and dinner. Many people got the bar to go. Not many folks dining in. The building is dated, fans dusty and it could use some updating....but it's solid. The bars were kept clean. Plates were removed from the table as we finished. Refills were adequate. We really enjoyed most of their flavors. Most things were sweet and heavy on meats as with most bars....but it's still what's expected at a Chinese buffet. I've been to some amazing buffets and I've been to some pretty sorry ones. This is a bit above the middle, but the freshness of the dishes on the bar and the kindness of the folks running it has to give it more credit. So the food was a solid 3/5 the ambience 2/5 and the kindness 5/5. Worth a stop if you are in town after visiting hungry mother's state park or other local attractions.

Over the past several years I have only ordered takeout and I am never disappointed. The food is always hot and fresh and prepared exactly as I ask. There is one dish I order with a modification and they haven't gotten it wrong in 30 years. The primary reason I keep returning is taste. I often find that Chinese restaurant food has an unusual taste that I do not like. The food at Shanghai does not have this taste. Taste, freshness, order accuracy, family atmosphere and friendliness has kept me coming back for 30 years.

While in town for the 2026 Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion we stopped in for a bite to eat and…read morelisten to some live festival music during a late afternoon thunderstorm. They had a large outdoor seating area set up just for the festival, but normally it isn't there. We went and sat down and on every table there was a QR code where you could order right from the table kind of similar to some of the restaurants I've been to in Chinatown in Philadelphia. We had started to order when a waitress came to try and take our order. I believe she was just family helping out so some of our message got lost in translation. She brought my drink and then some 10 minutes later brought besties's tea after we tracked her down. They had typical Chinese restaurant fair on the menu. The restaurant wasn't super busy when we got there. There weren't a lot of people seated outside. It appeared. They had only three people running food and taking orders. A fair amount of gas did show up after us and probably got their food. We had to track somebody down as there was some delay in them actually pulling our ticket to go make our food after we had ordered via the QR code of the table. This was a bit disappointing. I can only chalk it up to having inexperienced help during the festival. When ordering on the app, you can make modifications to just about any dish. Bestie did order something called ants on a log - it was a vermicelli rice noodle dish. Came out completely wrong without any of the extra she ordered. I ordered a simple chicken and broccoli. Chicken had an odd texture and Bestie's dish had chicken too and she thought it was a little odd as well. She did get a new order made when we saw her order was wrong. We brought it to one of the waiters's attention and they made her a fresh order and that came out very quickly. Which we did appreciate. We were served on paper plates, which I can only assume was for the festival. There was live music playing in the front room of the restaurant which could be heard throughout. It wasn't super loud so we could have a conversation. The food tasted OK. It wasn't anything to rave about. Prices were very reasonable.

Out of habit I go for General Tso Chicken or Mongolian Beef while my wife goes for a seafood or beef. Their lo mein and fried rice are always a great side or on their own. I have yet to have an awful dish, but I would really, really like to see a small expansion of the menu to include dan dan, Hong Kong or meifun dishes.
