    Rainbow delight - delicious.  Lots of shrimp in this lunch special
    Gwen A.

    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.

    A sautéed cricket

    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

    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.

    We've been going here since the mid '90s, it's always great. The service and food never fails.

The entry area and interior of the restaurant are clean and colorfully decorated. We were seated immediately and beverage orders were taken and delivered promptly. We asked for extra time to look over the menu before ordering. There is a wide assortment, even on the lunch menu. Prices are very reasonable (less than $15) given the quality and amount of food. Included in lunch are choice of soup (corn, hot and sour, egg drop, and wonton), egg roll, fried or steamed rice, and the main course. My friend and I both chose wonton soup and shrimp entrées. The soup was rather salty. The entrées we ordered were very good, with my friend's Kung Pao shrimp on the spicy side. There was no skimping on the amount of shrimp! Our waitperson regularly checked in and refilled our water glasses. There's no doubt that we will return the next time we want Chinese food.

    I enjoyed the Viking roll -- found it innovative and pretty tasty. Other rolls (Cajun, Pandora)…read morewere pretty average. My biggest gripe was the Salt & Pepper Shrimp. It wasn't that. It was tempura shrimp and it wasn't peppery (they just stuck jalapeño slices in there). It tasted fine but it's not what I ordered. I've had this dish many times at other Chinese restaurants and it refers to a specific method of cooking shrimp: lightly battered and crispy, with a strong flavor of black pepper. Wish they took the time to make it correctly or rename what they gave me.

    This place is BANG FOR THE BUCK, delicious food, good price and atmosphere…read more.. Sometimes it's difficult to pigeonhole "ambiance"; Is it atmosphere you pay for despite mediocre food? Surroundings that transport you somewhere, like a villa, to embrace a type of cuisine? Here, I'd say ambiance is a comfortable escape with a kitchen and menu offering quality Japanese fare we all crave. The menu is vast and easy to read as you nestle in the cozy, Japanese themed surroundings. Not fancy. Cozy. You quickly forget the strip mall location and vape shop next door. It's a place to settle in for a spell or a quick, relaxing lunch. The service was extremely friendly, smiling and quick. The sushi was delicious, proper temperature and flavorful. The spicy seasonings were on point and the very spicy is appropriately noted on menu. I'm going back for more exploration, relaxation and `affordable quality.

    Soooo good! I asked on next-door what was good for Chinese food near me, several people recommended…read moretwin panda although it was a little further than I wanted to drive I'm glad I did! Shrimp and walnut prawn very delicious good size portion nice big shrimp and not gooey . Combination fried rice has plenty of meat. Great flavor and shockingly also has large shrimp. Mongolian beef because I thought I had to give it a try most Asian places I am very particular and don't like chewy meat. Very good not chewy! Bakmi Ayam noodles with chicken and mushroom very good. I like this more than I thought I would. I also appreciate that it had fresh greens on top. it's also served with some chicken broth. I did not use it yet, smells amazing though. When I walked in, I was greeted by two friendly young ladies. I placed my order and waited. I do not have a large waiting area. They also do not have a large dining room. I would love to come back and bring friends as it's a very cute place and the staff is very friendly. Small and casual decor would be a great place to come with friends. They do have some Asian beer in the back cooler. I can see from where I am standing. I apologize, not taking a photo of each dish however I didn't think about it until after I made my plate.

    Small lil join off of parmer around the corner of where I live, so I took a stroll here to try it…read moreout. Since my fridge froze all my eggs somehow lmao. This is my breakfast/dinner. The service is great, my waitress just knows how to read the room, ask, and provide info. I was looking at the menu for a while that she came up to me and help explain certain dishes and fan favs or her personal favorites which helped a lot! She's very kind and sweet. It's a quiet little place, but it's quick to fill up. I sat in the right hand corner which is tucked off. I like my spot cause I felt like I was in a noir vibe. So here's a quick lil announcement though. The wait for the apps was short, but the wait for my main dish was 15-20 minutes I don't think my wait is Normally that long but just a heads up. This is the cost of cheap but great quality food. For the appetizers I got the spicy shrimp and the steam chicken dumplings. They both came out really hot so be careful lol. Man the spicy shrimp was very delicious and spicy! But not too spicy for me because I'm use to it but if you're not a spicy veteran this does have a good kick. I loved the sauce and the lettuce, which i used pieces of it to scoop and eat my shrimp in whole. This is a 5/5 recommend The dumplings came out in a pair for like 4-5 dollars I think. It was very hot and soft. The only thing tho was that the meat inside the dumpling was a lil dry compared to a lot of Asian restaurants I've tried BUT it tasted good and was flavor. 4/5. I got the Ox tail Beef broth soup and the Nasi Padang. The ox tail was very good, it has its spices but it's a simple soup with the meat, the potatoes and chopped up tomatoes all thrown into the bowl, with wontons. I used the side chili they gave me, lime into the soup. It was so much to eat for me including the rice with the bowl. Of soup was a lot. Because it was ox the price was a bit high so like 19 which is reasonable. The broth was great, it's simple yet very delectable. The Nasi Padang, was a curry based plate with two types of meat, shredded beef and chicken, two different curry flavors. One was sweet and the other was tangy which was different. It wasn't my favorite but the ox tail definitely beat it. Overall this place was really good and something yall should doif you wanna eat out on budget but good.
