Was Frank Maglin at Shanghai Express a mag?
The interior could use some updating, but the food was exceptional. Our server was friendly and attentive. It may sound amusing, but I highly recommend the Pu-Pu platter sampler; the presentation, complete with a fire in the center, was impressive. This is a great spot in Georgetown for Chinese dining, whether you choose to eat in or take out. View all feedback.

What Kimber Woollard dislikes about Shanghai Express:
I found the food to be bland and tasteless, one note. Appetizer shrimp something so mushy, horrible mouth feel. I will not be going back and after reading about the hair, I can 't even finish my food.. hair is the simplest to remedy. I paid $27 something, gross. I 'll order pizza for delivery for $27 :⁠ '⁠ View all feedback.

Sarah was extremely polite and friendly, and her sister Stephanie is too, although she was not there today. The soup was fantastic—hot and flavorful—that I had to go back for another serving! My pregnant wife has been craving it for a while, and after finally trying it, I really loved it!

We absolutely love this place! The egg rolls are truly the best; I've lived in Japan, so I can say that with confidence. Everything we've ordered has been excellent. Although we've moved to Lampasas now, we always make a point to stop by for a meal whenever we're in Georgetown. It never disappoints!

I had a great experience with the Pu Pu platter and the sesame chicken. This is definitely the best Chinese restaurant we've been to so far. Once we find a place we like, we stick to it, and this has become our go-to Chinese spot!

This restaurant is delightful and cozy. The food is excellent—delicious and freshly prepared. Sarah attended to us this evening, and she provided exceptional service with a warm smile.
