Called to ask when they open, because they it said 11:00 but when we got there it was closed and dark inside on a Thursday. The person hung up on me when I called later to ask. To the owner, you need to go to a class of some kind, or just not be so nasty to the people that give you a living by paying you for a service. read more

Great hidden gem in Somers Point. Food is reasonable and good. They do deliver and have take out. Plenty of vegetarian offerings.

Continuity! Of good food, quality and service! Patrons for over 20 years, Favorites are always delicious and when venturing to trying something new, I have always enjoyed the new choice. Customization has never been a problem, that makes trying something new easier. Good food! read more

Certain menu items are great..order the BBQ spare ribs. Our shared entre tonight was supposed to be plain fried rice. We got white rice with soy sauce instead. No eggs, no sesame, no taste. The bill was $35 plus $5 tip--for 2 shrimp spring rolls, 2 large soups, creem cheese wontons (which were filled with raw white onion), and extremely plain fried rice. read more

I asked when I went into S H if they were the same people that owned the place a couple of years ago, because the food was terrible. They said that they have owned it for 16 years... MDF wanted to try it, so I bit the bullet. When I got the food home the first thing we tried was the spare ribs, they were the driest, burned ribs ever, to their credit when I called and complained, they offered to replace them and delivered them to us, they were better. I should have waited to sample the rest of our order before calling. So here is a report on the rest of the order; shrimp egg roll, terrible, General Chow chicken, a weird taste, pork egg foo young, a weird flavor. The only two things that we ordered that tasted alright were the vegetable fried rice, and the dumplings. All in all rest was a disappointment. They won't get another chance... read more

If you're looking for the best steamed dumplings in town, look no further! The dumplings here are absolutely perfect--delicate, tender and filled with juicy, flavorful goodness in every bite. And don't even get me started on the salt and pepper chicken wings! Crispy on the outside, incredibly juicy inside, and packed with bold, savory flavors that keep you coming back for more. Every dish I've tried has been fresh and full of authentic taste. The service is fast and friendly.This is hands-down my go-to spot for Chinese food. read more

Best Chinese in the area. Always fresh. General Tso's is made with white meat & stays so crispy! Love their sauce as well read more

Shanghai House - General Tso's special combination platter with white rice SO GOOD! - Chinese Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

See all

Moving from Philly to Ocean City trying to find good Asian food has been a struggle. Shanghai House KILLED IT! Boneless BBQ spareribs were to die for. Cooked perfectly. Crab Wontons were amazing. Veggie Lo mein was good as well. Will be our go to place moving forward. read more

We haven't been here in a couple years. But tried it a couple days ago. The food IS ALWAYS FRESH. They also give enough in their combinations platters for two meals. Their prices did go up by $4 or more dollars a meal. But that's the world we leave in‍ read more

I'm really surprised about the 3 starts right now. I feel like there are a lot of "Karens" out there that are easily upset. I order here all the time. I have never had bad food here, it's always delicious. The people are nice, and it's not over priced. We always order a lot of food, and I have never had any missing items. We have a house in Margate, and we drive over or get delivery here only. Our other house is in Center City Philadelphia, and this is better than any restaurant I can think of there, even in Chinatown. It's the best around, and we've tried them all. Thanks Shanghai House! read more

Had not returned here for food in awhile. Very inconsistent. Ordered delivery and proved again to be a correct observation. Cold Sesame noodles average. Kung Pao Chicken great as always. Boneless BBQ pork, burnt and bitter. I did call to say something about the pork, Owner brought new order but informed me that "that's how our customers like it" I guess I'm not a customer!! Thank you for the response, let's just agree that "some char" is the key phrase. read more

OMG!!! If you like wings, then you NEED to come here ASAP!!! The is salt and pepper wings is soooo freaking gooood and addictive!!! This family is sooo sweet and friendly. I live 30m away and will definitely come back for more delicious food read more

After repeating my phone number address three times, they had it wrong. Delivery took 1hr and 20 min to deliver cold , crappy food. I called the owner, no apology or I'm sorry!! No I'll credit your food or discount it. Her only reply you want food or not! If I could give no stars I would Skip this place Save yourself time and trouble I won't order from them again I'll go hungry first Ps I never post bad reviews but this deserves one read more

Avoid at all cost if you suffer from migraines. I ordered the shrimp fried rice. It was loaded with salt. But I was hungry, and didn't think a couple of nibbles would hurt me. I had eaten from here one other time, and despite it being salty, wasn't too bad. Not great, but not bad. Yesterday, I should have thrown it in the trash. A day after, on a Saturday too boot, I still have this horrible headache from the salt and msg in that food. I'm partly to blame, yes for eating it. I knew better, but I'd just like to warn others to just forgo this dirty little joint. Simply not worth it. read more

The Best take out Chinese food you can get in this area. Highly recommend: boneless spareribs, orange chicken, egg foo young, & salt and pepper chickens are amazing!! read more

Pretty good food. Lo Mein and General Tso was flavorful. Speedy delivery to our hotel room, met the driver in the hotel lobby. Wasn't a big fan of the scallion pancakes, but everything else was great and we would gladly go back. read more

If I were to title this review, it'd be "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad". This is an unassuming small storefront on the road from Somers Point to Longport. Blink and you may miss it. There are a couple tables inside but no wait service. It's basically a takeout place. As Chinese takeout goes, especially at the Shore, this is better than average. We started with very good won ton soup, delicious steamed meat dumplings and a disappointing veggie egg roll (overdone, too much curry). Moved on to a wonderful General Tso's with, yes, real chicken, not ground up processed chicken product. Nicely spicy and sweet. Also quite yummy according to the group was the Shrimp and Chinese Vegetables, chock full of large shrimp and crisp veggies. The Veggie Fried Rice, on the other hand, largely consisted of onions. Disappointing. Not a broccoli floret to be seen. We'll definitely be ordering here again as it's the best we've found in the area...so far. read more

Service was bad as people were rude. Acted out out by everything, had to ask for a bag for soup, I got my soup and walked out. They lost business and a customer. Soup is good but people who are rude will not get my business. read more

Their food is good and we've had them deliver for a few years, we just have a problem with one of their delivery drivers. They have 2 delivery drivers one is a male and one is female. The female driver is outstanding and very nice and polite, while the male driver is extremely rude every time he drops off food to us. The male delivery driver, when I fill out a credit card slip, always tells me to "fill out here and here" implying that I need to specify a tip amount. I always give a generous tip to the drivers each time they come, so I don't need a lesson on how to fill out a restaurant cc receipt. Another example of his rudeness is when he delivered over the holidays, he said "Merry Christmas or whatever holiday it is that you celebrate" in a rude and condescending tone. I'm not surprised he has to tell people to fill out the tip amount since I'm sure he's rude to not just me and if that's true, he apparently doesn't get many tips from other customers. After several times of this I called the restaurant to discuss this with the manager and the person at the restaurant who answered the phone said I couldn't talk to the manager because he only speaks Chinese. So I went on to explain about this driver and ask the person on the phone to never send the male driver to our home again. She said we were the only ones who complained. In that case we will find another place to order Chinese food. It's too bad, since we like their food but I won't tolerate that delivery experience from them any more. read more

Surprisingly enough, the wings are the best deal around: large pieces for a relatively low price. All the chicken dishes are great, but don't go expecting anything else to really blow you away - it's above average Chinese take-out with excellent fried food. read more

I called for delivery at 3 PM for a late lunch apparently according to the driver she does not come in till 4:30 PM they did not tell me this at the restaurant and I did not receive my food until almost 5 PM I called multiple times and they lied to me and said the driver was on the way when they were not even in yet this is very low read more

This restaurant is not abiding to CDC guidelines. The cooks are not wearing masks. So, if you are ok with taking a chance of getting Covid-19, then be my guest. The meal here was not complete, missing an egg roll and fried rice. One of our three meals was not edible. Had to throw it away. When I called to tell them about missing items and nit wearing masks, they didn't care. And, when I said I would not be back, the response was "THAT'S FINE". very poor customer relations and service. If you want really good Chinese food in the area, go to Northfield Garden. By far much better service and meals. read more

As a Chinese Take out place and that it's in one of the worse areas to find decent food other than pizza, this place was a pleasant surprise. Definitely no frills but the food was well seasoned and spicey where we asked for extra spice. Not everything was good, The Scallion Pancake was way overdone and was as hard as a brick. By far the worse rendition I have ever experienced. Yikes For an Appetizer and this is a great Hack, we ordered an entree to be split as an Appetizer, The Tso Shrimp was a surprise. The only drawback was the dish didn't travel well so it got soggy from the sauce. Next time we'll ask for it on the side. But the flavor was, I can't believe I'm saying this...it was delicious. It had some good heat to it and the Shrimp tasted very good. Then let's touch base on the Szechuan Beef. I asked extra spicey and I got (finally from a takeout) SPICEY! This unto itself was cause to celebrate. The Beef was tender. The Other entree, Shrimp with Vegetables was very flavorful. All in all, this was very good. Finally, a Chinese Takeout that understands what "make it spicey" means. read more

Thumbs down. Eggroll: Small and soggy, flavorless but salty. Fried dumplings: Very nice Shrimp lo mein: EEW. Shrimp were mushy, smelled fishy and not freshly defrosted. The fishy taste crept into the noodles. I was afraid I would poison myself so I threw it all out. I live too far away to take it back. Staff: Friendly read more

We have ordered here a few times, and tonight I ordered General Tso's tofu and vegetable fried rice for myself. I got home and after a couple of bites I realized it was not a firm tofu like I tried to convince myself but chicken. I called and was told that I had ordered chicken not tofu. I am a vegetarian, so not a chance would I order chicken! They then told me I had to bring it back and they would remake it. I got there and they exchanged it for tofu and said "now it's all good". No apology. It's not all good. I have not had meat in 15 years, I am sick to my stomach, literally still nauseous 3 hours later. read more

Generals TSO's Chicken, use real white meat, unlike other chinese take out joints that uses processed chicken. though pricey for chinese take out. you pay for the quality. would have gotten 5 stars if their white rice didnt suck. read more

Shanghai House - a car parked in front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Somers Point, New Jersey

Still looking for my "go to" Chinese restaurant on or around the Island. The cashier was friendly, the portions were good, and the prices were very reasonable. Its an open kitchen so you can see whats going on, and I'm almost positive the cashier also made my meal while the cook was sitting down. If you are sensitive to sodium, please by pass this place. I am very sodium tolerant and was still left with a headache after eating their food. read more

I ordered chicken lo mein and chicken wings and French fries. I expected the food to taste similar to NY Chinese food but didn't meet my expectations. The chicken wings were ok but their fries were too salty. The chicken lo mein was my favorite. It wasn't super greasy like I'm used to and it was also very flavorful. All in all, considering there aren't too many Chinese places to choose from, it was a decent meal. read more

We have been getting food from here for quite a while and it has been okay. Well tonight was the absolute worst. Chef Special Lemon Chicken Absolutely horrible. You know, sometimes I just do not want to cook and just order out!!! I will just make my own Lemon Chicken next time we want it. Their version was absolutely terrible!!! read more

Foods great. Will recommend this chinese resturant.foods always hot and fresh . found out about this place through a friend

I hate that I never tried this place before....and now I'm moving away in a month. Looks dubious on the outside, but walk in and you won't be disappointed. They have maybe 4 tables inside where you can eat in. People behind the counter were very friendly. Food is definitely better than most hole in the wall Chinese places. Dont forget to get the house fried noodles with homemade duck sauce! Try this place....you'll thank me later. read more

I have never been a fan of take out Chinese food. The 'dark, I am not sure that it is chicken but what the hell' meat that you usually get. Dried out fried rice, etc...but this place is different. Surly not P.F. Chang's but the chicken is white meat in the General Tso's Chicken. The fried rice has really good flavor. Now the ambiance is nothing to talk about, it is still Chinese take out...but the food is far better than the average. read more

By far the best Chinese food I've ever had. Plump white chicken in my favorite general tzos. Never any mystery meat. Always fresh, flavorful and high quality meats and veggies. Consistently delicious! read more

It's your local Chinese take out spot , that has really good food. Soups are great and the combination dinners are very large portions . The delivery service is also very good. Very glad they are only a Phone call away. read more

12/3/18...Wow... all the good praise that this place has gotten by "word of mouth" over the past few years, we decided to try it tonight..well, we were very disappointed with our order. Our fried rice wasn't fresh at all... tasted as if it sat around awhile and they reheated it... the shrimp was way over cooked... very chewy & rubbery....our Cokes were very flat... I checked the date and they expired on August 13, 2018. And the spring rolls...we just threw them out..don't even want to try them at this point. read more

Better than most take out places...nice people, well prepared food, and would like more traditional Chinese items (I am sure they can do it!) read more

I think this is the best Chinese food on the mainland. The food is always good and fresh. I always get the vegetable mei fun. The portion is big and the vegetables are fresh and crisp. read more

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE EXCUSE FOR A CHINESE RESTAURANT I ordered takeout from this establishment and I'm quite dissatisfied with the food, as well as appalled by the service. I ordered a gen. tso's combo and an order of steamed dumplings. The dumplings are very mealy and quite tasteless. Also, their small container of sauce tastes like a tablespoon of soy sauce with a cup of water- quite watered down. The gen. tso's is WAY, WAY too salty and it all cost me over 17 dollars!! That means that we spent $10 on gen. tso's chicken that was unacceptably salty and more for crappy rubber dumplings. On an occasion a few weeks earlier, someone in my family ordered crab wontons and chicken and vegetables. Their chicken and vegetables were almost inedibly salty (they didn't even eat half) and the crab wontons came with no dipping sauce. I'm definitely not wasting money here again because I feel that good customer service can smooth over mostly any scenario in the food industry, as opposed to not giving a flying buck. I called to tell them what I thought however they were rude and apathetic; like many places, they haven't caught on to the fact that word of mouth and your reputation take you a long way in this business. Thus, this makes another Chinese takeout place scratched off my list and another restaurant I will make sure I tell EVERYONE to stay away from, including all the summer tenants that rent our properties during the busy summer months. I just don't understand why one can't find a good Chinese place around here. Seems like anyone can open up a shack and serve salty and expensive nonsense these days. It's alright, however. Establishments that treat their customers poorly seldom survive. read more

We ordered Beef and scallop and got RAT MEAT! The beef was so nasty and slimy we called and told the owner and they argued with us about how GREAT!!!! There food was and never had a complaint in 25years. Whatever U do DO NOT EVER GET THERE BEEF!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Love this place. Best Chinese takeout food along the Cape-Atlantic Jersey shore area.. We have tried multiple Chinese take out places since we re-located to the shore 10 years ago-- from Cape May thru Atlantic County, and this tiny, little family owned/operated business on Maryland Ave in Somers Point is, without a question in our minds--the single best place for Chinese takeout food!. The owner is the best--very friendly, efficient and looks after orders to make sure they are correct. Look, we have not had a bad experience here..We regularly travel the 25 miles RT to enjoy this takeout food. The brown garlic sauce on the shrimp/chicken/Chinese veg combo is awesome! Certainly recommend trying Shanghai House for wonderful Chinese takeout! read more
