A terrific restaurant with VERY reasonable prices and excellent food. This was my first visit and the service was perfect! It's a quiet, tucked away place despite being on the Katy Freeway. I ordered the Kon Pao Chicken with Won Ton soup and it was terrific. Spicy with tender chicken and an array of fresh vegetables. The use fresh ingredients... no powdered Ginger in this kitchen. I'll be back next week! read more

Great for lunch special. Don't expect small talk from the owner she is way too busy making and serving great food. I prefer it that way. read more

Fast food, cheap lunch, and man, do they give you a TON of food. The owners had to leave recently for family reasons but they are back and running the place better than ever! The owners are so nice and remembers you from the second time you come! Just a simple little restaurant so ambiance isn't really a thing, but don't let that deter you! read more

Great lunch prices and quality fresh food. Fast friendly service with family owned spot.

Our meal was okay. We ordered eggdrop soup, wonton soup, chicken lettuce wraps and chicken with cashews. First, the delivery was almost 1 hour! Chinese delivery never takes that long. Second, the wonton soup showed up as hot and sour soup. The guy who took our order over the phone repeated the order saying "hot and sour soup". Even though I corrected him, it was still wrong. I'm not a fan of hot and sour soup, so that was disappointing to receive the wrong item. Third, they use a ton of onions in their dishes. That usually indicates filler and you get less meat. I'm not a fan of onions, so that was another disappointment. The eggdrop soup was good and the eggrolls were decent. First and last time we will order from here. What a shame. read more

We decided to try this place because of the good reviews. It was OK, but nothing spectacular. When did Chinese food go from bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and water chestnuts to tons of celery and bell pepper? That seems to be the new thing at every Chines restaurant we try lately. And they threw in loads of zucchini here, which I'm not a fan of. If you don't mind that choice of vegetables, then it was fine, but we probably won't go back. read more

What is this place? I can barely call it food Everything was either too much oil Or very muddy tons of MFG in it The service was crazy the lady up front was rude The restaurant is in the middle of nowhere I would never come back again read more

Stopped by here around 6 p.m. to pick up some dinner because I was craving Chinese food and saw online at this restaurant had pretty good reviews. You wouldn't be able to find this place unless you follow Google Maps or you've been here before it's located in a shopping center right across for a gun shop. A small restaurant, but looks clean. When I entered it there was no one there I ordered Mongolian beef which is around $12 and chicken with broccoli which I believe is around $10 not bad IF YOU USE A CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD THEY DO CHARGE A FEE! BRING CASH! It didn't take long for the food to come out the lady at the cashier was very nice however the taste of the food was not it!! Tasted very greasy/oily, absolutely no flavor. Wasn't good at all in fact my son and I threw the food out. Very disappointing read more

Worst treatment I've ever had from someone making money off of me. It was a hard time getting her to understand two dishes on the phone order. Child's plate has 2 choices of items but she kept thinking I wanted 2 child's plates... No maam One child's plate and the 2 items are shrimp and rice. Then I asked how long and she hung up on me. I went to go pick up the food and she immediately scowled at me. I told her my daughter ordered from them and she didn't care, still really rude. She never rang up the bill on the cash register or give me a bill. She just said a total amount. Then she tells me she's charging a fee for using my card. (that's against the law) So I didn't have enough cash and took the charge fee hit because I was hungry. She's not ringing up the food on a register, wanting cash and collecting tax she'll never declare but keep that too along with the credit card fee. The food: A child's plate with 2 fried shrimp small and dripping with oil (dripping). The egg fried rice was fair. MooGooGiPan was pretty much tasteless but had lots of chicken (which was the only good thing) but not enough vegetables. The whole thing was floating in a lot of liquid. I will not be back. I don't do business with rude disrespectful people like her! read more

This was by far the worst Chinese Food I've ever consumed. Ordered that Mongolian Delight. The meat was dry and tasted burnt. The rice was very dry and no flavor. They also charge a 4% for using credit cards, signs are not posted so you are aware. read more

Great delivery by the owner.The food was delivered on time , hot and very tasty , thank you

Our family loves Shanghai!!! It's an intimate restaurant run by a husband and wife team. Their food is delicious - especially the pan fried dumplings and orange chicken. I love that they offer healthy options - the generous portion of steamed vegetables are fresh and delicious. I love the atmosphere. You can actually carry on a conversation and hear each other talk. We eat at Shanghai at least once and often twice a week. read more

Very disappointed with this place and owners. We always place large orders for over $35 and ordered SL9 Avocado Chicken & Shrimp and was given SL8 Mongolian Triple Delight. When calling back to advise the order was wrong, the manager kept arguing saying I placed the wrong order and they did not make a mistake. I told the manager that my company will no longer order from Shanghai and the manager said, "you don't want to order no more from here, fine we don't want your business". Wow! Talk about customer service, clearly none at this place. I will NOTTTT recommend this place to anyone. Do not call for delivery. Your order will not be accurate. They don't know the difference from fried rice and steam rice. If you ask for Fried Rice with lunch menu, you will get steamed white rice. The manager on the phone is a total jerk and RUDE!!!! read more

The food was absolutely awful! The delivery lady was nice. But every single dish lacked any flavor at all. The shrimp tasted like nothing. The pork dumplings were horrible. The Lo Mein was nasty. It tasted stale. There were 5 of us eating and we all agreed it was all disgusting. We were staying in a hotel and I was so thankful we brought a bag of Cheetos with us because the food so terrible that we couldn't eat it. Skip this place for sure. read more

This place is so great. We always get our Chinese takeout from here. The dinner combos are a good amount of food and it's all good. I drive past several other Chinese places just to go here. The inside is a bit cramped but we have just done takeout. read more

This is my absolute favorite Chinese food place. I go here probably once a week or at least three times a month. It is family owned and NEVER disappoints. They give you 3x the amount of food you pay for. You will get at least two meals off of each dish you order. If you want amazing Chinese food in the area I would recommend this every time. read more

Obviously not the best Chinese food I've ever had, but really good nonetheless, especially for takeout. I called to order the Pork w Garlic Sauce dinner combo and he said it would be about 10-15 minutes. My order was ready when I got there and it smelled so good I almost ate it in the car. You get a TON of food for what you pay. I only finished half my rice and less than half of the pork, and have a tasty dish for lunch tomorrow. The egg drop soup is pretty bland but I'm pretty sure there's no MSG in it, so that's a plus. Cheese rangoons aren't greasy at all! I'm so glad that I found this little gem and can fulfill my cravings for Americanized Chinese food at any time. read more

We ordered online (from the "Chinese Menu" website) for a work order. I'll be honest here - I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not because --- well, you never know about third party ordering websites. Let me put your fears to rest on this instance. It worked. The delivery came close to the time we were expecting, everything came as ordered, and everyone was happy with the food and temperature when we received it. We had a few special requests because the Menu App allowed for notes and choices, which the restaurant performed admirably. As for the food: You never know with a large order if someone is going to get the "one-off" menu item, but this place has proven that their food is consistently well prepared. Everyone was extremely happy with their food, which made me look like a rock star, so Thank You. Personally, I would have liked my Szechuan wontons spicier, but I can always add my own to the mix. I can tell that they made their own dough, as it was fresh and not a pre-bought store variety. I liked the chili oil side order - and the fact that I could order 8oz as a side was awesome. Someone thought that through, and I appreciate being able to order more than a tiny container. I do judge my Chinese restaurants on their hot and sour soup - it had the right thickness, all the elements were included, and a good balance of hot and sour (a little more sour, less hot than I like - but the balance was there and on point with my expectations). I'm sure I'll have more to say about their food as I go through their menu in the future. We will most definitely be ordering from here again... if not regularly. read more

If I could leave a zero star i would be doing so. The customer service was awful. I have worked in restaurants for decades. I understand what it takes to make the customer happy . But Let me tell you about this visit. There was 5 in our dinner party Strike 1- A person in our party didnt I like their food and wanted to change their order to something else. It tasted "off". You know when it just not right. She (the waitress/manager) said of people like it so ,it's too bad that you don't like it. And then said if we reordered different food that would be a separate charge. Who does that???!? Are u kidding me !!? Strike 2 -as if you need more. She didn't bring another plate of ordered food until we asked if was coming. Gather you , 3 plates had been delivered and 1 rejected. Her answer to our question, " is my food coming " and her answer, " I have no idea". I can't believe it !! Don't go , You will be gambling on whether you will like your meal or not, or even receive it , And still pay for it read more

Hidden gem! Homemade sauces and dumplings are delish. We recommend trying the fried rice too!

Ordered lunch today for coworker and myself. We both got beef and broc and it was the worst choice we both ever made. The beef taste like its been months old, eggroll was disgusting and stale. Overall the meal was horrible! We call to let them know and the lady on the phone was so rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. Then another guy got on the phone and he was so rude and unprofessional. His response was "don't order here again" We will never eat here again. Disgusting food and employee. they are very luck that I'm at work and don't throw this food back in their face. read more

I got the chicken fried rice, it was amazing. My mom got the vegetable stir fry and she loves it. It took about 20 mins to get the food, but it came out so fresh and hot. I highly recommend this place. read more

Shanghai - Chicken fried rice and stir fry veggies - Shanghainese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was my 1st time there- I got veg. egg foo young- no flavor-I got veg fried egg rolls- no flavor until I used the sweet and sour sauce- I got chicken noodle soup---GOD Awful! The soup had no flavor of broth...broth tasted like water and soy sauce at best---Oh my God was all the food terrible- the fortune cookies were stale and in cellophane. Hell no-don't go. I called them to ask for my $ back on the soup---(how do you screw up chicken noodle soup?) they told me to go eat it elsewhere- so I called my bank and they gave me my money back and paid them too! I am so tired of God awful restaurant food! read more

This may be our favorite Chinese restaurant. This owner staffed small business strives to make every order perfect - and succeeds! My favorite appetizer is the spicy wonton. It is just spicy enough to be enjoyable. I also love their corn chicken soup. In fact, I have yet to be disappointed. They will gladly customize dishes for dietary restrictions. For example, I have them make dishes which normally have breaded chicken with sautéed instead. Try them - you'll like them. read more

This was the worst customer service ever. I called for delivery he said I lived too far. No problem. I pick my shrimp fried rice and wonton up and The lady acted like I was bothering her. When I get home I notice that the rice is really dark and taste like it was burned. I call and the guy tells me that it's supposed to taste like that. I will NEVER order from here again. Who wants burned shrimp fried rice. Total waste of 13 bucks! read more

Lunch special menu is varied with good quality ingredients for $8. I ordered the kung pao shrimp and the veggies were fresh and plentiful. The family owned-operated restaurant is clean with service that is friendly and attentive. Will definitely add this place to our lunch spots list. read more

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I wish I could give a better rating because I really wanted to like this place. Pros: White meat chicken Option of brown rice Kids meal options Clean, newer restaurant Cons: I have never been fully satisfied with the food -Flavorless, thick hot n sour soup -Only 4 pieces of shrimp in garlic shrimp lunch I was given fried rice when I asked for steamed Summary: you can give it a shot, but don't expect greatness. I've encountered great customer service but sub-par food here. read more

AMAZING!!! Everything is HOMEMADE! Homemade dumplings, homemade eggrolls white chicken "no chicken foam" The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The inside of the restaurant is very trendy and cute and clean!! LUNCH MENU $8 for fried rice, eggroll, and soup and entrée huge portions; can't be eight dollar lunch!!! read more

I love this place. The lady at the front is always so nice and welcoming. Their food always comes out hot and taste so fresh. I typically get the combo fried rice and the beef and broccoli. The egg drop soup is okay but I like it because it's not too salty!:) also very yummy egg rolls!! read more

Can not recommend this place. First the website had a $15 minimum order but I was forced to increase my order to $20. Kung Pao was ok but not fresh. I ordered pineapple thinking it would be fresh. I received canned pineapple that had begun to spoil. Fortune cookies were stale. Restaurant offered to bring me pineapple next time to replace it. There will not be a next time. read more

I had really low expectations for Shanghai. I've driven by their sign a million times, never having seen the restaurant. It's in a terrible location, tucked away toward the back of a very modest strip mall. We are looking for some food to pickup and I said "why not let's try this place." I pulled up the menu on Yelp, called my order in, and 20 minutes later pulled up to a really decent looking restaurant. I was expecting a complete hole in the wall place. There was no one in the restaurant. But it made sense - the location is that bad. The food however was pretty cheap and very actually pretty good. The sweet and sour pork was so-so but everything else was good. A bit heavy on the sauce but without weighing the dishes down. I don't know how long they can stay open but for the time being we know we have a decent Chinese place close by. Its not Chinatown and it's not as good as North China on Hwy 6 but is much cheaper, and more authentic than Panda Express. They deliver as well. If you live in area and are craving Chinese food it's a good option. read more

2.5 is my rating. Service is not bad for a small mom and pop restaurant. They should probably hire another person as these 2 are surely understaffed. The food is really cheap in price and mediocre / decent tasting . Don't so fresh and got cold pretty quickly. read more

Food was amazing and very very reasonable alot food for the money. I got the pork garlic lunch and it was so good... it's sort of hidden off the feeder but totally worth it!! read more

Shanghai - The pork garlic lunch special... smells and taste so good!!! - Shanghainese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is a nice mom and pop shop. They have a wide variety of typical Americanized Chinese food. The price per dish is about $10-$13 and you get a pretty decently sized portion to eat. The staff is really friendly and very helpful. The chef even came out to refill our water and check on us. The building is a little hidden and your gps might take you on a weird route to here since it's new. Just make a u turn at dairy Ashdod and it'll be on your right. read more

These people are great! Always so pleasant and smiling. Food is made fresh, so nothing preheated sitting around. If you're in a hurry this is not fast food. It's made when you order. NO MSG!!! The portions are super generous. No MSG. I can never eat it all. I usually buy the lunch special and it's my lunch/dinner so two meals for the price of one. The Spicy Won Ton's are an addiction for me. No MSG. The ambiance is wonderfully relaxing, and always clean! Did I mention it doesn't have MSG? This is a great place. Great atmosphere, great good, good value, good ambiance. No MSG. :) read more

I was beyond impressed. I ordered the General tso chicken along with the Combination Fried Rice. The sauce on the genera tso chicken was not watery at all. Had the perfect texture and taste. Chicken was fried to perfection. The rice was just as great. You can tell they took their time preparing the dishes. I will definitely be coming back. read more
