Ordered a takeaway and can’t fault the service. Delivered in time, the owner even phoned to check we’d received meal. Food is delicious, containers topped to the brim with contents. Look forward to enjoying this over next few meals as there’s so much.

I am absolutely appalled by the way the service was tonight with Shanghai Chef. I've always used this Chinese for numerous years however I made an order at 9pm via their website. I waited up until 10.15pm still nothing,phoned the restaurant for them to tell me he's on the way. Then at 10.30pm still no sign so I phoned them back for them to contemplate if I made the order on just eat or uber. I told them no it was on your website,for them to turn around and say " oh I'll phone the chef now" huh don't make sense. All for the phone to be put down,so obviously I called back for them to say sorry we will get it sent out now!! When it did arrive at 11.05 not forgetting they close at 10pm when the delivery driver came finally I said to him they close at 10 he said no 10.30 so why does the time online say 10pm?? Also here is a pic of one of the dishes which was obviously made quickly as it's al dente and full of bloody onions. Not happy at all!!

Tried a delivery from these guys for the first time today. We were very impressed. The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. We will certainly be ordering from them again.

Always a good 'served' buffet meal with friendly service in the past (pre-Covid.) Now this huge place is just a takeaway, but the food is delicious and there's plenty of it
