Shanghai Express

I've been eating here more than I'd like to admit during this pandemic over the last 10 months or so (just when I am craving Chinese food because we all know that stuff you buy in the frozen section at your local grocery is not worth wasting your money on). I've actually ate here many times over the years but never more than once or twice a year. Now, I've eaten here at least twice a month since this dang pandemic got started! That's honesty for y'all! I have to let you know how great of a time I have every single time I go there! Truly! First of all, when it all began I was so tickled to be able to call in my order of Beef & Broccoli with a side of white rice! Do y'all know how nice it was to be able to call someone in the middle of all this mess with the pandemic & have them make your food in less than 15 minutes, have it boxed -n- bagged & be ready to pick up to take home as soon as you pull up in the parking lot in your bathrobe, messy bun & slippers? PLUS have it all look & smell amazing & truly taste great?!!?? And it still be super hot when you get it home to sit down & eat? I mean in my house when you go and try to cook something in a super fast hurry, it has a tendency to come out burnt, be hard as a rock, have caught on fire, be charred black or hell, all the above. So once we've decided against all the above for a night, I go & make a quick call to place our order, it takes all of 2 minutes to speak to the kind staff & place your order. Y'all I'm telling you that these people that run this place are fantastic! From the moment I went to pick-up my first to-go order last year, I knew instantly when walking up to their store front that they truly cared about the people that they were serving food. They had prepared their restaurant for Covid more than any place I had been to at the time & it remains that way even now. They made me feel so safe when I saw all the work they had put into making sure that their customer's health was being put #1. They closed their entire dining area, closed in their entire doorway to the restaurant & blocked off the entire place from anyone being able to get inside. Only their staff was in there. They left their big glass & metal front door propped open for months so that this makeshift sealed in doorway could be used because they had turned it into a walk up pick-up window! All you had to do was either call in your order like I did many times, or just walk up to the window, place your order, wait outside or in your car and then BAM!... your food is done super fast! They use speakers to talk to you when you go up to the window, so you never have to come into contact with the staff in any way. They had even built the window a certain way so that they could hand your stuff out into a window box & then you take it from there! They went above & beyond during the worst part of the last year for their customers & they continue to do so. Even though the dining room is open & the storefront has returned to it's original door, they still have the kitchen, the checkout counter, register & food bar behind a makeshift wall inside of the restaurant. It still keeps their staff from coming into contact with us. Ordering is also the same fast easy process too! I almost forgot to tell you about the food itself! I do apologise. I know I've already made a long review.. but hear me out. I'm probably one of the most picky eaters you'll ever meet. I like my food cooked a certain & I only eat certain things. But I can eat their food because the wonderful people that make my food here, do it so wonderfully. The broccoli is always crisp & fresh & it snaps when I bite into it. The meat is always tender & flavorful and it's never rubbery. (I know y'all know what I'm talking about.. Where you go out to eat & end up with what I can mystery meat that no matter how many times you chew on it, it seems to get even chewier but you never actually get it chewed up). The rice is always perfect! What more can you ask

What a MASSIVE amount of food you get here! I like the food. I've never been disappointed with anything that I ordered here. Staff is quick and friendly. Great family atmosphere. I usually get food to go lately and it's always still hot when I get it home. Plates could easily be split here or one order could serve as at least two meals if you enjoy leftovers. (When re-heating rice in microwave add a little water sprinkled on it and it will have a more fresh texture- but stovetop reheating produces better results, but still add a touch of water to enhance the texture of the rice).

I absolutely love this place! Been eating here since I was a kid when my parents would take me and it's always been a tasty treat every time! Their eggrolls are excellent and the hot and sour soup is my go to when I get sick because it's spicy and brothy and will have you feeling better in no time.

Placed an order with them tonight around 9pm food was ready fast and was excellent! I have been eating here for the past 16 years and this is in my opinion the best Chinese place around here. They are great always nice and friendly and I will continue eating here as long as they are open!

Owners/ workers very nice and friendly. All of this food and egg roll for 9.19 each!!

This is 5 star all across the board. Awesome food and the most kind people working there. It never falls short of being fantastic I feel like I could live off of their food daily. I almost go there daily.

Good prices and large servings. Every time we have ordered food was good!

The food is amazing, the price is amazing, staff and service are fantastic. If your in the area looking for a good meal you won't be disappointed here.
