I have been eating at Shanghai Express since it opened in Georgetown. I have always enjoyed visiting with their staff and eating their food. In the beginning it was a small establishment that we wished would expand. The service was also slow due to there being so few employees. Since then it has grown much larger and changed owners. The staff is still very respectful and nice and the establishment is clean. I have never, NEVER gotten sick from eating there and we eat there usually once a week, if not more. All the entrees are very good, the soups are delicious and even their mixed drinks are good. I am afraid I am not going to throw racial slurs around to get my point across, because frankly I dont care who is serving my food. If they are polite and clean and the food is good, who really cares what race they were born of? I honestly dont. If you want a fancy place that has all Asian people working there, with $10+ plates because they have a koi pond in the middle of their establishment, then this place isnt for you. If you would like a place to go with friends, relax and have good affordable food, then I highly recommend Shanghai Express.

Ive been here twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. The resturant was not clean at all, I asked them to clean the table once we sat down and it still looked grimy afterward. They have no kids menu, so I had to order my 7 yr old an $8.00 entree. The service was HORRIBLE both times that I went and they werent even very busy. The food was average at dinner and pretty good at lunch. The lunch menu prices are a pretty good value for your $. Its definately not on my list of favorites, but I would tolerate it again if a friend invited me to go to lunch with them there. I wouldnt go there for dinner again. I dont really think the resturant is beautiful, they have fuschia and lavendar colored walls and no decorations.

To be honest, as much I find the environment of the place to be extremely outdated, the wall paper being ugly and the floor being dull, the food itself is actually quite decent. The food has some good flavors that can appeal to almost anyone living in the Georgetown area. For example, everytime I order the Triple Delight, the food always comes to me at an insanely short amount of time, all of the 3 meats well cooked, not raw or overcooked, with the brown sauce to be somewhat creamy and well-seasoned. The service is alright(for the most part as I hear that they are not careful in the delivery aspect). But it is tolerable considering the food to be a refreshing taste so it doesnt hurt to come to the Shanghai Express.

When I first came to Georgetown 4 years ago, I tried this place and fell in love with the chicken sizzling rice! I hold the broccoli, mushrooms, and bamboo, and it is so good! Went back again tonight and had the same dish, it came with carrots, water chestnuts, celery, zucchini, and I asked for shredded cabbage instead, and it was so good with the zucchini! The wonton soup was so good, and not salty, the chips that go in the soup were fresh tasting. The egg roll was great, all veggie, nice crunch, and very flavorful. Also order Mu shu chicken, which was so good as well. Will be going back, and would recommend to anyone! Dont let the lack of cars fool you, or the outdated decor, food is great!

DISAPPOINTED IN GEORGETOWN!!! I just received my order from Waiter with Wheels and I am extremely disappointed. I ordered my Kung Pao extra extra spicy with a side of hot oil. 1) it is not even extra spicy 2) the sauce is burnt tasting, the pepper flakes are black, 3) the Peanut were tossed in raw and just coated in the sauce 4) there was no extra hot oil. I am trying to salvage my lunch since I did pay extra for delivery, but I may never order from here again. I hope this is a isolated incident as this is not my first time to order, but I have severe reservations now. Not the best to begin with, but they Did have decent fast food Chinese.

I literally ordered Mama Fus and had to throw it away it was so terrible. I then called Shanghai and talk about a complete 180! From no flavor to tons of flavor. I got the beef kung pao, egg drop soup and egg roll and it was all amazing. The veggies were fresh, the rice was perfect and the egg roll was just the way I like it - lots of flavor and super crispy! If you are looking for Chinese food in Georgetown this is the only way to go.

I typically go to this restaurant because it has always been a great place to eat lunch at. Today I had a hair in my soup. I was offered a new bowl of soup which I declined (Im certain a new bowl would have come from the same pot as the one I had just found hair in). I still paid full price for my meal which included the soup. I was disappointed with the lack of regard shown for them having hair in the food they served.

Cant even ask a simple question. Literally called to see if they deliver & she said they dont deliver in the morning? So I asked when do they like at 12? & she said what do you mean? Sorry I thought I was asking you a simple question. I wont even try this place because of the service I got off of the phone. They probably cant cook from the reviews I see. Id rather drive to round rock for food

They lied on their menu. I ordered Lo mien and when I went to pick it up they said it did not come with it. I understand that sometimes certain things dont go with certain foods, and then they started pointing at several things on what comes and doesnt come with. On the menu it clearly says something else. Im not a fan of being deceived.

The food is great!!!! Though its best to not use a credit card here. I had 70 dollars removed from my bank acct by the restaurant. I placed a carryout order. They added a 24 cent too afterwards, then when closing it out added a 0 to the end. My bill went from 7.42 to 76.60. My bank told me I am not the first this has happened to.

Nice little hole-in-the-wall spot for lunch, my kids liked the aquarium. I was a little concerned about the lack of yellow in the egg drop soup, but it was delicious. The lemon chicken was also not very yellow, maybe they just avoid food coloring? Whatever theyre doing, theyre doing it very well, I will certainly be back. Great stuff.
