Called order in, picked up with no issues. Food was great, serving size was plentiful! Clean place!

Sometimes takes a while, but everything is always great, my go-to is kung pao chicken and egg rolls with some wontons

3 stars? 4 stars? Somewhere between I guess. BLUF - good food with terrible order taking system and terrible timing. Food is pretty good but the timing of the kitchen is so bad it's laughable. Everything is pick up, there are tables and chairs inside but I've never once seen anyone eat it it's always to go and the tables and chairs are for hanging out as you wait.... and wait.... and wait.... for the order you called to place some time ago. The "system" in place is archaic - just orders scribbled on random scribbled pieces of paper which I'm sure leads to missing items if you aren't diligent about specifying what you are there to pick up and what is in your order. Most recent visit I was told it'd be 40-45 minutes. Turned out to be more like 80 minutes, 40 of which were spent sitting in one of the aforementioned chairs at one of the aforementioned tables with a bunch of other people waiting for their orders. Small snarky side note - I was the only person waiting reading an actual honest to God real paper book - everyone else was on their phone watching Tik Tok or Instagram or some other crap. Anyway rant over - good food for sure but the time it takes to be made is crazy and I don't know if you can ever trust it at all. read more

Let's start with the call, woman who I spoke with was short and rushed me off the phone, hung up on me even. Was disappointed when they said they no longer do boneless spare ribs. Crab rangoons, dry with little filling. Hot and sour soup, only had mushrooms and tofu. No carrots bean sprouts etc. Mongolian beef, ZERO spice or flavor, more veg and hardly any meat at all. In a brown flavorless gravy. Fried rice? ZERO veggies. We found one piece of egg in two orders of it. Sad. Pork and snow peas, again, same brown sauce no flavor and TONS of snow peas hardly any meat. I would highly advise against eating here. It appears they are trying to save nickels and dimes and cut out as much as they can. Stingy for what they make you pay. Very disappointed. read more

The cook, who I assume is also the owner is preparing the food. I have not seen any gloves worn and he has handled all different types of ingredients and food items. Have not properly washing of hands either. Nobody is within the restaurant, so that probably says something too. read more

Good local take out. I do wish they would put vegetables in my sweet-and-sour chicken. However, not too many people care about the vegetables on that. I'm spoiled because I'm a foodie and I love Asian food so venture out in Memphis. I definitely will still go there though because I feel like I need to support them so one of them will smile. Owners are definitely hard-working, maybe they are tired. read more

Very good food !! The sesame chicken is the best I have enjoyed eating. The hot and sour soup is excellent. Egg drop soup is very good! They cook food to order which you get it fresh and hot!! read more

Shanghai House - Perfect quick lunch sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, egg roll. - Chinese Near Me - Southaven, Mississippi

The orange chicken was Very Good but that was it. Shrimp was almost mushy and the meat in the house fried rice had no seasoning. The house chow mein didn't have noodles in it. Wish I would have known. I guess I was supposed to use the bag of hard "noodles" that came with it. TOOK FOREVER TO GET FOOD. read more

The worst hot and sour soup I've ever had. Left a disgusting after taste in your mouth. It was neither hot nor sour just gross. The shrimp fried rice was mushy. The food was just not good. Which is sad bc the cooks seems so nice. But this is a hard pass. read more

My family has been eating here for years. We even frequented when they owned New China buffet. I have tried so many other Chinese places and nothing compares! Shanghai House is the best in Desoto County. I moved to Hernando and still drive there for my Chinese takeout!! read more

I think they're understaffed because the wait was 30+ minutes for takeout but the food was good, didn't care too much for the chicken in the fried rice. Overall I'd visit again, I prefer their orange chicken to Panda Express. read more

Don't stop if you think this is going to be any sort of "fast food" because Christmas will come and go before you actually get your order. I've seen snails move at a faster pace. Thought I was gonna die of boredom, attend my own wake, and be buried before I ate. Actually lost my appetite before the food was served. read more

Our family have been patronizing this restaurant for the past 3-4 years. It has not been been perfect (name one restaurant that is), but overall we have been pleased with the service and the food. read more

food... the hot and spicy beef dish I ordered was undercooked. the meat also had a bad smell. it was covered with sauce in attempts to cover the bad taste. refused a refund. read more

They were so kind and the food was great. I've gotten takeout twice now, and it doesn't disappoint! The lo mein is so good!

Like LaTasha, I too have not eaten here. But I'm gonna give it five stars! We must balance the scale.

Had good flavor on all we got but questioned Some of the dishes. Ordered pork fried rice And not one piece of pork in either of our Orders. Also asked if they had crab Rangoon And was told yes but got the fried wontons Instead. Probably will try again if get answers To above resolves. Sesame chicken was very good read more

Quite a few of my friends live in this neighborhood. So I figure I stopped by their neighborhood Chinese takeout place that my friend John P said, "Was decent," and Amanda B said, "Good for a Tuesday night." I ordered a Spicy Shredded Beef and my friend ordered Sesame Chicken special combinations (including pork fried rice and eggrolls). I also order dumplings because, whenever I think of Shanghainese, I think dumplings. So what we winded up getting is tasteless fried rice with no pork, doughy eggrolls filled with very little of anything else, extremely chewy chicken, and "how the heck is this supposed to be shredded" beef with 95% more onions than there are beef (which is definitely not shredded). I wasn't looking for soup dumplings, I'm just looking for some jiaozi; but what I got was mini wontons with a super watered down dipping sauce, that they probably purchased from Costco - Bibigo wontons perhaps. I would not recommend this place for any time of any day. I eat often at Chinese take-out places like Green China, Wok N Roll, Rice Bowl, and even Yum's. How the heck could Shanghai House be so bad, I have no idea. As for service, the guy was kind of rude. But the lady is nice enough I suppose. Shanghai House makes Panda Express look like a 5 star restaurant! read more

We order here at least a couple times a month. We have learned that weekends and Fridays are there busiest time and that to expect to wait 45min or more. There is only two people working. The food is consistently good and we have a lot of different things in the menu. We usual get general Tao, white rice, egg roll, wontons, egg drop soup, chicken wings, and pork dumplings. We have tried pretty much all of the other Asian places in the area and this is the only place for us that is constantly good. The Red Koi in Hernando is our second favorite, but that's Habachi. read more

Delicious! Fresh! And this is coming from a native New Yorker that recently relocated to the area. I've been looking for a good Chinese food spot and have tried MANY in Memphis and Southaven. This place is 5 star! Real, authentic, FRESH Chinese food. This was my 3rd time going and I said oh man, I have to post a review this place will not disappoint! It supersedes your expectations. Soooo good! read more

This is the only Chinese place that we like in desoto county. Noticed that lately the portions are getting smaller. The staff isn't very friendly on the phone but I figured they don't know much English ‍ But the food is really good so we'll keep coming back! read more

I not sure if I went too late but the fried Rice had no flavor, but the egg rolls did.. will try again

I have been coming here since they opened. The owners are the hardest working people I've ever met. Most of the time we get the General Tso Chicken. The food is always fantastic. read more

Just go to a buffet instead. This place is much worse than the average Chinese takeout. They're cheap and don't give you what you order. read more

Shanghai House - These are their so called "steamed dumplings". Terrible - Chinese Near Me - Southaven, Mississippi

We live near here and usually get our Chinese here. Food is very reliable. My kids will only get food from here. Portions are not as generous as some other places where you can get 3 meals out of them, but are still good. Family run place and genuine. They DO NOT deliver or have online ordering. This is done with an outside company. Just a warning as I stood with unhappy people who had ordered online, but the restaurant wasn't paid. read more

Food is "always" fresh. Your food will take time because it is a family own business, normally 2 people working

This one of my favorite Chinese restaurants ever. I have gone here for over 10 years! I highly recommend the sesame chicken.

This place is so yummy! Not necessarily the friendliest place but I always just get it to go. The wait sometimes seems like it takes forever but the food is fresh and delish so it's worth it! read more

There is a 25 minute wait time for a simple order. When I finally got my food (which was the Mongolian chicken) didn't taste anything like Mongolian chicken it tasted like grilled chicken. I am disappointed at the fact that for so long of time the food wasn't good at all. read more

Rude did not appear to want to sell me food. Portions are small and food just isn't good

Not your typical Chinese place. The food is very high quality when comparing it to other places like it. My only complaint is the portions aren't as big as others, yet quality is great. read more

I love this place. General Tso's or Sesame Chicken + Shrimp Fried Rice = my favorite meal there. As far as Chinese Takeout places go, it's a 5 star. read more

I've gotten used to a specific type of Chinese food. It wasn't terrible but just not as flavorful as I prefer. I tried the sweet and sour chicken and cheese wonton. Different flavor of sweet and sour that I didn't like but the chicken was thankfully not too much breaking. Cheese wonton I would've preferred more filling but was good for what was there. read more

We ordered over the phone and it wasn't done when we got to the restaurant 30 minutes later. My girlfriend and I then waited 45 minutes inside only for them to lose our order. It was a truly an awful experience and I will never return. read more

This place is primarily designed for take-out.There are only a few tables.The food is cooked fresh when you order.Food quality and taste is pretty good. read more

I was visiting my parents in Nesbit, Ms just a stone throw from this eatery. The only so called Chinese takeout in the area. Well, don't order the Sweet and Sour Pork, all you receive is a hunk of pork and sweet and sour sauce! Really? What part of China are these owners from????? I called to question the order, where's the pineapple, carrots, green peppers and onions? The answer was this is an American Chinese eatery and this is how the locals like it.....when I mentioned I cook Chinese at home and the recipe calls for vegetables the young man on the phone didn't care and basically advised me to stay in the area that I live in, which is north of this city by 20miles. No problem I said, the Chinese restaurants there cook REAL Chinese food! Don't waste your money on this place! read more

Tried it on a whim because I was hungry and it was on my way home. But I really enjoyed it and thought the quality was good. I am going to have to go back and try different selections to really check the place out but so far so good. read more
