Shanghai Chinese - Lake Mary

I do not live in the area and wanted to try the restaurant. The food tasted fresh and was very good. No complaints. I would go back.

Not the normal Chinese take out. Where we lived before you could pretty much go to any China 1, China 2, China 3000 and get the same foods. Some a little tiny bit better quality than others but mostly your chewy chicken, odd tasting won ton meat in the soup, and your typical rice that was eh ok. That's not what we found here. My entire family was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food at this place. We figured it would be just like everywhere else but very happy it wasn't. We first had the orange chicken which had pieces of orange peel in the sauce and was fresh, not chewy and delicious. The fried rice doesn't even LOOK like all the other fried rice and is fluffy and tasty. The steamed chicken and broccoli is delicious and the choice of sauce is nice (we recommend the szechuan). The only thing I would hope for is for the steamed chicken portion to be a little larger. The won-ton soup is the best I have ever had. My only complaint is I wanted extra noodles and they don't do that. You get a good amount though. I just like A LOT of noodles. So, if you haven't tried this place yet and are used to the typical Chinese takeout not being anything near fantastic, you should try it out. It's also reasonably priced. All the other dishes you get a good amount for cost.

Having absolutely no expectations (being disappointed way too many times with Chinese takeout in CFL); the food at Shanghai was a refreshing welcome. We ordered the typical dishes readily available in most takeout joints.

Love this Chinese food! Always fresh and taste so good. We order here often and the times we’ve tried to stray, it hasn’t been the same. Highly recommend, especially for special fried, and orange chicken, and dumplings!

I absolutely love this place! I eat here once a week, the food is always excellent and the staff is very friendly. Best Chinese takeout in the area by far.
