    Don't be fooled of the name thinking it's Shanghainese food, but it's not; instead, it serves traditional Cantonese food that is not dim sum in a place that looks like an old-school Chinese restaurant. However, the food is worth it since the salted pork spare ribs (which is one of their specialties) were delicious. The beef chow fun was okay, but it could use a little more seasoning. Overall, if you're looking for soup dumplings and other Shanghainese food, this is not the place since those are not on the menu.

    Delicious and no nonsense service. Family friendly establishment. Chef Special Tofu - light crunch on the outside and fluffy pillows of tofu on the inside, a must order item. Sautéed Egg Plant - they did not have a beef ribs for the eggplant and beef rib clay pot so we pivoted to sautéed Egg Plant. The eggplant was tender and the flavor was so good. Baby Bok Choy and Chicken - Bok choy had good texture and the chicken was tender and moist... Good Dish Salt toasted Spare Ribs - I know it has salt in the name but it was a little too salty.

    The food is cooked per order and its tastes wonderful. Definitely will try the short rib casserole and walnut shrimp on my next visit. If you come during the week it's very quiet and relaxing.

    Love the food & services here. The basic typical stir fried beef with flat noodles here is delicious. (够锅氣 = Have the wok heat flavor) staff server Thuy is excellent in recommending great dishes. She is friendly & courteous. Will return next time when we are in Houston area again.

    This Shanghai Restaurant 富仔記 has served me some great meals. That's why I have an upgraded opinion with this updated review. I came here one night looking for some home style dinner. It was cold winter in the middle of the week. I didn't know the closing time but I saw a couple still eating there. I ordered pepper ribs and a bowl of rice. I didn't think of anything but realized the employees are eating... Appeared to be eating dinner as end of their shift. Oh shoot I said. One employee came to me and said, "no hurry. You can stay until you're finished." Wow. So nice. Yeah. I hate to be rushed. It was actually my first-time dining in. I loved the decorations and those home feeling. No wonder it's been featured by Chow Down in Chinatown group many times. For the same reason I recommended my neighbor brought her family to dine here tonight. Because they took good care of me that night.

    Best fried spare ribs in the city! Great veggies and excellent walnut shrimp. The hot and sour soup is also really great, different than anywhere else I've had. Awesome food, casual atmosphere, great service!

    This place is always fantastic. I have never been disappointed with anything I have ever ordered here. I don't care where you live in Houston you need to get over here as it's not going to blow you away with how pretty it is inside it is definitely not an instagrammable place but that shouldn't be why you were going out testing food in houston. You need to visit Shanghai and get yourself some great food ASAP

    General Tso's Chicken

    If you try anything, you need the general tso's chicken, sweet and sour pork, and the fried spare ribs. Hands down the best! Seated immediately and they were able to accommodate a large party. Service was fast and staff were friendly. They came around often to refill drinks. Everyone enjoyed their food. Great portion sizes and great prices. You can tell this place has regulars and fills up quickly.

    I've been dining here for almost 2 decades when their location was closer to Fiesta on Bellaire. I know the husband/wife owners as he is the chef while she manages the register. I remember seeing the chef on his wife beater shirt chatting with patrons while the wife never had a good attitude serving customers. There're a few other Cantonese restaurants throughout the years and I haven't been back since 2018 until yesterday. We were deciding where to have lunch and my husband pointed at Shanghai restaurant thinking they serve xialongbao. Well, their restaurant's name is mis-leading as it's a Cantonese restaurant and almost everyone speaks Cantonese. It has been a long time and I thought why not? The place was completely empty for a Sunday's lunch around 12:30 pm. The server greeted us with paper menus and seated us afterwards. I wasn't sure if they are still owned by the same couple but turned out yes! I saw their now adult son sitting in the back. We got a couple of rice plates: beef with bitter melon and fish filets with veggies. I also ordered their poached chicken (1/2 chicken) served cold and dip with ginger scallion sauce. Both rice plates tasted good; lots of rice but small portion in terms of proteins/veggies. The chicken dish was average but the ginger sauce helped. I love this and always get more in the past. I have never been charged extra for the sauce. Naturally, I asked for more. I was surprsied to see $1 for the ginger sauce. While I don't mind paying for it but think the waitress should inform us first. In addition, if the chicken has more flavors, we probably don't need so much sauce to eat with. Maybe we'll be back in a few years...

    Salted Toasted Spareribs

    I've been coming here for years, and while the place has been remodeled and updated, the food still has that same authentic, homey Chinese flavor. It's the kind of comfort food you'd expect from a family kitchen, and it's always on point. Great vibe, great food--never disappoints.

On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.

She got mad bc she said she still took my order. I am really tired of tipping etiquette becoming completely an entitlement.

Also, the service is phenomenal, but we also speak Cantonese. D5. 化皮燒肉 ROAST PORK If you ran a knife across the roast pork skin, you would hear the perfect crisp crackle. Each order comes with an appetizer-sized plate of roasted pork belly. The crunch on the skin was phenomenal, like a dense and crispy chip. Imagine if they made snacks out of crispy pork skin. The ratio of fat and lean pork meat was perfect, so juicy and rich, yet soft and tender. The roast pork is phenomenal. We loved it. D1. 燒鴨 ROAST DUCK The roast duck skin was flavorful and juicy, complemented by the tender duck that was fresh. The soy sauce-based marinade was delicious, and this is a classic Cantonese BBQ option that you cannot go wrong with. K15. 港式咕噜肉 SWEET & SOUR PORK HONG KONG STYLE This isn't my favorite dish, but the pork was crispy and held a lot of the sweet and sour sauce. I enjoyed it, but it pales in comparison to the others. Still, another safe Cantonese classic that I would recommend. P6. 鞋菌豆腐煲 TO-FU W. MIXED MUSHROOM IN CLAY POT They served it to us in a glass plate, but it was still delicious. Arguably, I think this was my favorite out of all the dishes because of how simple it is, and it's full of mushrooms and vegetables! There was a strong "wok hay" flavor, and the fried egg tofu were hot (it burned the roof of my mouth, but I did not care), soft, and incredibly jiggly. I loved the mushrooms and vegetables which was braised with the sauce. Big yum all around, this one hit home and one of my go-tos. F2. 菜炒牛肉炒河 SAUTEED FLAT RICE NOODLE W. BEEF & VEGETABLE Not a single vegetable in sight, unless you count the green onions and bean sprouts. This is probably one of the most well-known Cantonese classics with its strong "wok hay" flavor. The rice noodles had the perfect texture and there was a generous amount of beef stir-fried in. While it's many people's favorites, it's always a bit too oily that I would like (and that oil is almost necessary for good flavor). I recommend it if you want a safe staple, but I would encourage trying something else. We basically ordered the Cantonese classics and it was so delicious and more than what the 5 of us could finish. I highly recommend this restaurant for Cantonese food. The interior is your typical mom-and-pop restaurant, 80's/90's-style decor. It's not fancy, but the food is exceptional.
