Shanghai Chinese Cafe - KATHERINE SOUTH

I was told the take away would take 20 minutes and it took more than 45 mins. Talking to others waiting this was a standard time. Food was excellent and good value. I was a little concerned about the noise coming from the kitchen as it sounded like arguing and the staff were having a full on domestic. The yelling could be heard from the outside. It was OK dispute the dramas.

They say you never never know if you never never go...well it's best not to never ever go in this case. We had food provisioning from here! It's poor food and poor quality Asian food...overpriced...don't bother.

Spicy pork 10/10 My partner got chic omelette n said it was great. Fast n friendly service for take away at 9:15pm. Wouldnt dine in there but def will get take away from there again, great job by chefs!

Some dishes just stay in your taste memory and the wonton soup at the Shanghai is one of them . It is quite simple - a very tasty stock, wontons, Bok Choy and cubes of ham and I Love it. So much so that I had it for lunch nearly every day I was in Katherine. The steamed pork dim sims are also delicious.

Normal full Chinese menu even if it is a bit pricey. Most mains were around $23 mark.Got the Salt & Pepper Squid and took back to where I was staying. Absolutely disgusting.The batter was so hard it was like pork crackle chips. The salt was so heavy it made the food inedible. The two pieces I tried to eat the squid had been hammered to such a thinness as to be non exsistent.I had driven 5 hours to get to Katherine and was really hungry but could not eat it. Returned it to the shop and although lights were on inside the shop was closed. Went back to write compliant on some paper but had nothing to write it on. I have taken a month to write this as life does go on and you forget.Thanks to Maccas for a great meal instead!
