Shanghai City - Nanaimo

It's been years since I've come here, but still it's a good restaurant. The waiters and waitresses are kind, patient and attentive. Some of the food honestly changes flavor from batch to batch, but it's still overal good. We went when there was very few other people so it was a good atmosphere, but when it's full it gets a little noisy, but that is anywhere.Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for working with people with food allergies.

The buffet had a good assortment of typical items and the staff refilled immediately, as needed. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Their mixed drinks need work but we’ll definitely go back for the food.Update: Dinner on July 2 was much different. Inattentive server, staff just standing around. We were upcharged because they added 2 dishes to the buffet! We didn’t leave happy this time and won’t be back.

One of the best Chinese restaurants my family and I have gone to. Average prices for good Chinese food. Great service and awesome food-both dim sum and the buffet. 100% would recommend eating here. Comparable to the Chinese restaurants on the lower mainland.

This was probably my worst restaurant experience in a long time. I have no idea what disgusting mystery meat I was eating. Besides the friendly staff, everything was not up to par. I went for the 27 dollar supper buffet. I wouldn't even call it that because the selection was so minimal. I get that inflation is affecting business, but if we are paying that much, I want quality not rubber meat. The veggies were slimy and tasted a little off and the meat items were tough and lots of gristle which turns me off. Whe. I went to pay they asked how it was. I said not the best, and she didn't reply....just gave me the machine to pay. I have told everyone about my experience. Never again.

Arrived for lunch buffet but learned it was only on weekdays. Tried dim sum instead and it was pretty good. Flavours were good, chow fun was great.
