Shanghai City Chinese Takeaway

Excellent service and personal, cheap food. the food was tasty and the hot dishes were sufficiently spicy. were generous and eating was still hot at delivery. the female staff I spoke with was helpful, offering excellent customer services and ensuring that our meals were delivered immediately to the hotel during the stay. I can say that the experience was great and I will immerse myself in the opposite.

Excellent food. Staff very attentive. I took my son's has a treat before I came home. We had the £13.99. Buffet. Too numerous to mention what was on offer. But we would recommend anything. Only thing what wasn't right was the egg fried rice.. tasted a bit too dry..well done. We will be coming again.

I have travelled to Stoke-on-Trent with my girlfriend for a short break. We were looking for somewhere to eat late on at night. We arrived at Shanghai City and they were more than accommodating. The waitress was very pleasant and helpful in recommending dishes suited to our palates. The portions were more than generous and the food was outstanding. We would definitely recommend the Shanghai dumplings. Furthermore it was really reasonably priced for an authentic Chinese restaurant.

Worst Chinese restaurant I’ve ever experienced After reading all the 5 star reviews we thought we’d give it a try. When we arrived half of the restaurants was in darkness and we where seated in a corner because it was “warm by the radiator” we took this with a pinch of salt and sat down to order. We where served our drinks and the ordered our starters, as we where having from the all you can eat menu we thought we’d try a few different dishes. The ribs had no meat on them at all just a layer of fat, the salt and pepper chicken Wings were disgusting it was so greasy and had no flavour at all and inside of the chicken was black and so off putting! The Aromatic duck was greasy and flavourless With hard bits that could not have been chewed, the wraps where hard/crunchy (considering supposed to be Soft flour wraps) and smelt like play dough! The main- bean sprout chow mein smelt like feet and was inedible, sizzling beef in black bean was just ok. Even the ice cream was crunchy and tasted off. Not once during our meal did anyone ask how our meals where, we where left eating with the spoons that come served in the dishes as no fresh cutlery was given with each meal even tho the other had been taken away with the other dishes. Nicest part of the meal was the chips! Then as we went to pay the bill we where told that they didn’t have a card machine and that bank transfer was preferred, in all my life I have never experienced a restaurant that does not accept card payments without telling you before you have eaten! And to top it off the lady told me to walk down the street to the cash machine- which when I got there was out of order, I walked back up only to be told there’s another one further down the road. All-in-all terrible experience and will NOT be returning.

Thought we would have a change and try the place out as we seen some good reviews..!! The curry sauce was like jelly I needed a knife to cut it. It came out my tub in one lump after some force, the salt and pepper chicken was soggy and like eating battered worms!! The crispy shredded beef was also like soggy worms could not even tell it was beef!! The chicken chow main was tasteless, and like a bucket of grease. Will never use this place again I don’t see how any of you people can rate this place!!!
