Shanghai Express

The food was very delicious. The server took our six orders without writing them down and brought out the correct six dishes quickly. The food was very good, and we were all impressed with the portions. The restaurant had a steady stream of locals ordering food and talking about how much they liked the food. I would go here again.

Visiting family, we stopped in during the second week of June. We have NEVER in our lives been to an Asian restaurant where you can actually order a dish the way YOU like it!! Added my faves, and the bourbon chicken was OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD!! Then..when we needed to leave suddenly, they were quick to package everything to go and were so nice about it!! We can't say enough good things about this business...you guys rock!! Hope you are there next time we travel to Georgetown, cuz we're def coming back!! TEN STARS from us!! Gratefully, Terri and Marti

Shanghai Express is a good place to eat , if anyone had an issue with their order , all you have to do is say something they will fix it . They always want their customers happy . It’s not just Shanghai that people come for it’s tony . His memory for everyone order and that he cares for everyone that walk through the door. So to bash all you like those who really knows Tony and the restaurant knows the truth . He was running the Orient Express for years until he and Hubba open their own. Those who knows him follow him. Because he no only care about what he does he care about people .

I stop in when I need serious comfort food. The egg rolls are so delicious. I've been known to get just 3 or 4 orders of egg rolls (2 egg rolls per order) so I have extras to take for lunches at work. The veggies are the best I've had at any Chinese restaurant -- so fresh and crisp. The fried rice is a little disappointing, but I can make good rice at home. I can't make those egg rolls. Tony -- host, waiter, and I assume owner/manager -- is friendly and personable. I was looking for a reasonable replacement since The Plum Tree closed. I'm glad I found Shanghai Express. Nothing else in Georgetown or Lexington compares.

Place was empty besides people staggering in and out to get their take out orders. We went to Georgetown originally for Orient Express but for some reason it was closed. This was the next stop down and shown decent reviews. Food was bland. I got the Hawaiian Chicken and it tasted like nothing more than boiled chicken breast covered in sauce. My husband got the Singapore Noodles with Shrimp and the shrimp were the tiniest things I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. He will usually eat anything but after a couple bites he pushed his food to the side. I wouldn’t go again.

Well first time and last time I will eat there. Ordered sweet and sour chicken and the chicken was over cooked and burnt. The rice was stale and tasted like left overs from yesterday after we got through the hard pieces and could bit through the rice. Very dis appointed in quality. Needless to say I had to throw out the dinner.

Amazing. We drive from out of town at least twice a week to eat here. And we have since Tony opened this. Actually, we have been with Tony since before he opened. It started because no one in my family believed how he always remembers your order. Always. Try it. The food is fresh, the restaurant is clean, and the service is never wrong.
