    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.

    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.

    I would echo what poster Joel said. Yes the location is in…read morea very small strip mall, casual ambience. but we went on a Tuesday night; plenty of parking available, immediate seating. it's a small restaurant but there were very few people there. and now that I've eaten there, I'm very surprised it wasn't packed full. The first thing I noticed upon entering is; the restaurant smelled very pleasant and clean, unlike a couple of other good sushi restaurants that I do not like entering. We ordered the Viking, fantasy, spicy Ninja rolls and all we're done very well. Hreat flavors and freshness. I would say most notably their fish was extremely fresh tonight. none of that slimy strong tasting stuff you get from some places. Sorry, I know totally gross! That is why the past year or so we pretty much quit going to many sushi restaurants in the area. It just wasn't worth the cost. I hate to say it; but actually H-E-B can beat some of these other sushi restaurants on certain nights. But the fish here tasted fresh like it should taste. Service was quick and efficient and pleasant. We will try it again before too long and I will update accordingly. But I totally know fresh fish when I taste it and this was it.

    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.

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.
