Shanghai Town - Shropshire

We have spent the last 10 years avoiding Shanghai town instead we would drive to our old home town of Wolverhampton what a mistake! We have had numerous takeaways from Shanghai town since lockdown began and every meal has been seriously excellent. Lovely fresh vegetables and flavours from starters and main courses. chicken beef duck all cooked brilliantly with no evidence of the sloppy msg texture seriously cannot recommend this place highly enough But be prepared to ring numerous times at the weekend to get through as they are so busy!

I have been a customer of Shanghai Town for over 10 years and have never had a bad meal. The food is first class, which is saying a lot as I lived in China for several years. The staff is excellent and the service is fast. This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in Bridgnorth. You must try the Thai Pantang red curry - it is simply divine!

I don't think I've ever written a really bad review so I'm not going to start now but I feel that I should comment in the hope that the owner reads this. To be fair my friend and I have ordered from here before and the food was fine, but on Friday my Thai red chicken curry and fish cakes were not up to standard. I don't know what went wrong but the curry lacked flavour, didn't taste like the Thai red curry I've had elsewhere before and the fish cakes were tough and rubbery. I would have complained in person but my friend is a regular customer, she was paying and I didn't want to spoil her evening. I'm prepared to give the chef the benefit of the doubt, we all have off days and on the plus side the telephone order went smoothly and the delivery arrived early with a smile and polite attitude. I probably won't eat here again or at least I won't order Thai red curry and fish cakes!

This is my youngest boys favourite takeaway. They are generous with their servings , you do get a lot of chicken balls in a portion and they are nice. The satay sauce was lovely instead of sweet and sour and had just the right amount of heat for me, The chow mien was nothing special but for value for money it's pretty good. Not the best Chinese in Bridgnorth but in a handy location with good parking next door.

It is quite challenging to find a really good Chinese takeout place in Bridgnorth. This restaurant stands out as the best among them all, which says a lot. On several occasions, we have ordered sweet and sour chicken balls in the early evening only to find that they were reheated from the previous night. The prawn crackers were also disappointing - they were tough and hard to chew. However, the Chinese curry and chicken in black bean sauce were decent, and the egg fried rice was tasty. The prawns were not as good. One advantage this place has over Indian restaurants is that they open at 5 pm, making it convenient to pick up dinner on the way home from work. The front of house staff are English, but the kitchen staff are not as impressive. The prices can also be on the higher side, so it's important to choose carefully when ordering.
