"Went for lunch at the Shanghai on a Saturday with the family and have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. First of all, the place looks amazing! Massive chandeliers, a big old fake blossom tree, huge fish tank with koi carp and marble effect...throughout. We were escorted through the restaurant to a ‘VIP’ room (no idea why, round table with a lazy Susan off the main room lacked a bit of atmosphere) and there were menus already laid out. One word of advice, if you are there for lunch you need to ask for the lunch set menu as they don’t automatically give you it. We chose off the set menu (a reasonable for courses and a rice/noodle side) aside from my wife who went a la carte. We also had a couple of vegetable dishes (which were both a punchy each). The lunch menu is very limited but ok. We also ordered cocktails (and a mocktail for one child) and a bottle of Prosecco. The food: plentiful, very tasty, a definite step up from take away Chinese food although it still has that sweet edge that I sometimes find challenging. The non-fixed menu option was much more ‘authentic’, being a Szechuan pepper laden tofu/pork dish. And the veggies were absolutely delicious. Rice and noodles all good, starters again are nice but over sweet. Had a few lucky Buddha beers as I’d never heard of them refreshing and tasty. Service was very good. Attentive and quick took no time to catch someone’s eye and get what we requested. My only gripe would be that the price point is just a little over what I think it should be. As long as you go in knowing that you are going to be paying double what you normally expect then you’re ok and if you think that the environment and service warrants that."
