Got some Hunan Beef to go. First time eating from here. Lemme just say it's very good. Service was fast and friendly. Dinning area looked clean and nice. And you get a lot of food. So it's definitely worth it. I'll come back to check out some more food. My wait was about 10 min read more

Shanghai Express - Hunan Beef Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Wonton soup and egg rolls were very good. My son had cashew chicken which was great and caught in-law had egg foo yung.

My favorites here, whether we dine in or to-go, are the Egg Foo Yung and the BBQ Pork Ribs!

Food has always been so good here. I haven't eaten in. I've Always ordered and picked up. It's always ready on time and fresh.

Great egg foo yung. Courteous staff. Prices are affordable. So I'm ordering again. Highly recommend them.

This is the most putrid excuse for food I've ever had put in front of me in my 40 years on earth. The chicken and beef are sitting under grease and smell and taste rotten. The fried rice is soupy and smells like an old sink sponge. The egg drop soup is thicker than paste and smells like wet dog. I've never ordered food my children couldn't bring themselves to eat. Called the manager and told me he doesn't give refunds. read more

Good standard Americanized Chinese. Spicy shrimp in garlic sauce with lo mien and hit and sour soup were both great-- AFTER adding their homemade chili oil. Great personable service in a laid back atmosphere. read more

The food here is great and the lunch special is a bargain. There are several great choices off the menu and I've not been disappointed. Everything tastes fresh. The ambiance isn't date worthy but if you just want good food and generous portions, this is your place. read more

We have been loyal to this once great place. We order to go. We ordered shredded pork Peking style. It was wonderful the last time we ordered it. BUT THIS TIME... mostly onions and pork not shredded. Yes regular onions. This is normally with scallions. All good things come to an end. So sad it has come to this. read more

We have been coming to this place for years. The food is always amazing! It's a restaurant that has kept its food, service consistent for years! The owner and the staffs have always been friendly and attentive. Sarah is the best. She will keep your drinks full and always checks on you. The ambience is relaxed and casual. If you're new to town and craving Asian food, this is the place. They have lunch special all week and weekends too. read more

Very mediocre food, nothing special and nothing too bad. Very basic menu and the flavors are basic. I ordered sweet and sour pork- was not expecting it to be fried pork. Tough, and unpleasant. Inside decor is not impressive, but plenty of seating space. Lastly, for what it's worth, it doesn't feel remotely authentic since there is no Asian employees or chefs. read more

This week I stopped by Shanghai Express for lunch. It is consistently good, and one of my favorite Chinese places in Georgetown. I got the Peking Seafood Combination lunch special. It was not my favorite. It has a brown sauce that I am not partial to. Next time I will stick with my favorite Rainbow Shrimp dish. That being said;, my fried rice, egg roll, and egg drop soup was good. The service was fabulous, as always. Yesterday, I witnessed one of her owners run out to the parking lot to take a purse to a customer who left it behind. They are always extremely courteous and friendly, and that is what continues to bring me back again and again. read more

Shanghai Express - Rainbow delight - delicious. Lots of shrimp in this lunch special - A white plate contains cooked shrimp, assorted vegetables including broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and onions, along with a mound of rice and a spring roll. The plate is placed on a dark wooden table, with a cup of coffee on a saucer visible in the background. The setting appears to be in a casual dining restaurant. - Chinese Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Food has consistently been mid but hey, not too many choices in Georgetown for Chinese. The reason I won't go back is that in my last carry out there was a clump of lint and hair in my soup. I've never had that happen before, anywhere. I emailed the restaurant with photos and heard nothing back. read more

TL;DR: Americanized Chinese food, decent all around (taste-value). Will definitely stop by again for Chinese next time. We ordered takeout from Shanghai Express for dinner. I ordered sesame chicken with white rice and a few egg rolls. My wife also ordered a chicken dish but hers wasn't battered (can't recall which dish). The food overall was decent as expected, it's American Chinese food, which is what we wanted. Our dishes were both very saucy although since my chicken was battered, it absorbed the sauce. It's not necessarily a bad thing but unnecessary. My chicken got soggy from the amount of sauce. The egg rolls were a little small but tasted fine; at $2 per egg roll they're a little expensive for what you get. Couldn't see the dining area from takeout pick up so no opinions on that and the counter person seemed nice from our very brief interaction. read more

Food sucks had ordered an egg drop soup and I received a soup without any eggs and cold. I then ordered the general TSO chicken with pork fried rice and received cold food again, also the rice didn't have pork. I then heard a customer next to me complaining about a wonton soup not having wontons in his soup. The owner should eat the food himself but I thought that he doesn't care so much about his restaurant. Everyone works hard for their money and so should he and his chefs. He's waitress was great but your food sucks. This is my first time giving a bad review since I've been in Georgetown Texas. Hope the owner starts to be a real owner and chefs like he first was. Good luck. read more

Don't ever eat there, my wife and son brought the rest of there food home and there was a sautéed cricket in my food read more

Good food, good prices, fast service, glad I gave them a try. I have lived 30 minutes away from decent Chinese food for 10 years. So glad to have moved to a place with good Chinese restaurants! I will be back. read more

This place was such a disappointment!!! I ordered Chicken Egg Foo Young and got vegetable with nothing but alot of mushrooms which I hate. The gravy had the meat in it. I called and was told that's how it is made and I was denied a remake or refund! Never is all my years experienced Egg Foo Young Like this. Food lacked flavor was not freshly made at all. read more

First time ordering to go here and and portion size was large indeed. Very flavorful and tasty. Would recommend if you have a taste for some good Asian food. read more

Been here multiple times very good food definitely recommend! I usually get fried rice and their teriyaki chicken on a stick

Food looks good but looks can be deceiving. FRIED RICE is just white rice with soy sauce 1/10. The sesame chicken 2/10 (sauce is watery and tasteless). Orange chicken same as sesame chicken 2/10. Chicken kinda tastes cheap. HOT & SOUR soup tastes like dirty dish water 0/10. Wonton soup tasted like wasabi but claims theirs ginger in it (I spit the soup back in the bowl). And for the most disappointing part we got the egg rolls too- they tasted old. 0/10 read more

The service people were very nice... the only reason I gave 2 stars We ordered the lunch deal Beef and broccoli Lunch; the wonton soup, meh lacking flavor, the egg roll and rice were ok, the beef and broccoli was so over salted the copart passed after a few bites trying to pawn of to me to see if I would agree.. I did.. Orange chicken Lunch; Not on lunch menu but you can ask for it... Huge mistake.. I started with the hot and sour soup which was ok, and I was fine with the eggroll ( no dipping sauce, I think you have to ask for it ) and fried rice, kinda plain like school food, ok you can eat it. Now the orange chicken showed up, I should have taken a photo, it looked more like chicken nuggets in motor oil... The sauce should have been orange, or even orangish, but no this was nas car looking motor oil, not very orange to the taste and was spicy, I had half the plate and said you may pay for this later and stopped eating it. So the lesson here is next time, go into Pizza Hut and get lunch and not roll the dice.... We won't be coming back here, I rather get Panda express over this... read more

The was a halfway meeting place for me and my mom. We wanted chinese and this restaurant had good reviews. I had to order the pu pu platter, ut brought back childhood memories. I LOVE chinese food and this restaurant didn't disappoint. Crispy egg rolls, delicious crab rangoons, and the hot and sour soup was tasty. read more

Picked up dinner here one night order the orange chicken, which was good but more citrusy spicy than the traditional orange chicken. Also got some fried rice and Kung pow chicken. All of the food was good just lacking a little flavor I believe prices were OK 15 I believe a piece. read more

I wouldn't say excellent as some others have said; however, but very good applies. Server was attentive, not exceptional but very good. Food was good. The orange beef was nice. Still room to improve, but I would come here again and try more items, or even the same. read more

Favorite place to enjoy some Chinese food! Everyone there is great! Couldn't recommend more!

Hot, absolutely delicious food, fast service and relaxing atmosphere! I highly recommend and encourage you to try this place if you're seeking amazing flavor and service. The brown sauce is savory and well balanced and the portions are perfect. I love saucy food and was able to get extra sauce on the side The vegetables are well cooked and still a bit crispy and the service was equally amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Shanghai Express - Spicy garlic chicken l, customized to my preference - A plate contains rice topped with stir-fried vegetables, sauce, and seasonings, with some rice sprinkled with black pepper. Three cups of hot beverages, likely tea or broth, are placed on a wooden table, suggesting a meal setting at a restaurant or cafe. - Chinese Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Absolutely wonderful food. We have ordered from this restaurant for takeout many times with special requests. The restaurant has gotten it right every time! We like that this is a local family-owned restaurant. read more

I still stand by the original review. And your restaurant would be a minimum of $12/person, so a party of 8 would be nearly $200. Show me anywhere on your menu a lunch meal under $12 with drinks. I ordered two small orders of crab rangoons and a combination lo mein to go recently, which was $30. I'm confused as to how that is 'much cheaper' than the other options in the area. read more

If you want uncle bens rice and expired crab Rangoon, this is the place to be. The rice is NOT authentic at all- has no flavor. The crab Rangoon tasted like old cream cheese, as though it's curdled and expired. The tofu has no flavor. Yikes. Customer service is 2/10. read more

Shanghai Express - Fried tofu and vegetables - The image shows a styrofoam takeout container filled with stir-fried tofu, broccoli, carrots, and other vegetables in a sauce. In front, there is a bowl of white rice with a piece of tofu and a small piece of pumpkin on top. A metal spoon rests in the rice bowl. The setting appears to be on a light-colored table. - Chinese Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Picked up food to go. Very good food and was ready quickly. We had fried rice and moo goo gai pan. read more

Overall food was great. The broccoli oli and beef, spicy garlic seafood, lomein, and fried rice was good. The only thing I didn't care for was the egg drop soup. Everything is reasonably priced and decent sized portions. read more

Update: 03/05/24 I came in today to try and grab a quick drink I only had 15 minutes. I was informed that I can't just buy a drink because they are a restaurant and they can't serve just a beer. As nicely as this was put I was bumped out because no other restaurant has ever done that. They appreciate the sale. I will try one last time soon. If I continue to have problems I don't see myself coming back or recommending anyone else go as well. This place is a convenient spot for me since I'm in this parking lot almost 10 hours a week and the people are nice enough. I'm just hitting roadblocks. read more

Never disappoints! Rich tasty sauces and fresh crispy veggies. We pick up from there and bring it home about once a month and it's always consistently good. Dishes are not too spicy, so ask for it if you like it more spicy! Our favorites to order: Cashew Beef Kung Pau Chicken Beef Egg Foo Young Sesame Chicken Plain White rice! Coupon in every months "Community Impact" newspaper for a free egg roll and soup with each dinner ordered. Cant Beat it !! read more

Very good shrimp egg foo young ! Definitely better than all of killeen! Sauce was over flowing with more shrimp!

We came to eat dinner here last night, and everything was perfect! We actually ended up ordering a second order of crab rangoons because they were so good! For our main entrees, we got the sesame chicken and the sweet and sour chicken. They were both perfectly cooked. We also ordered an eggroll that was nice and crispy. It was very quiet and relaxed inside, and our server was super attentive and helpful the whole time, too. All in all, it was an excellent experience and we will be coming back! read more

One of the best Chinese places out there!!! Their sweet and sour chicken is TO DIE FOR! I come here once a week!! I wish I could come more but my funds won't let me!!! LOVE THIS PLACE read more

Just really poor quality Chinese food. If this place was inspiring in its early years, that's long gone. Every dish came with the same salty unappetizing brown sauce. The Lo Mein, the Happy Family, the Kung Pao chicken were all over cooked like they'd spent too long in a steam table. This is the second time I tried this place and at least they're consistent. read more

Quick service and good food. We all had egg rolls--very good. Hubby had Kung Po combination and I had the sizzling chicken. Both were very good. Fried rice instead of white rice wasn't worth the price. We'll be back!! read more

I've found a place closer to home that the entire family enjoys! We ordered chicken fried rice, chicken and broccoli, vegetable lo mein and it was all good. I hate they're closed on Mondays because that is one day I'm not actually excited to cook lol but give them a try if you're in the Georgetown area. My food was ready before time and the customer service was great!! read more
