We visited tonight Saturday 6th January for my husband his twin sister’s Birthday. The food was gorgeous and piping hot with plenty of choice too . Worth going later for extra dishes , especially the prawns. Delicious ! The staff were so nice & very friendly, they made my husband and his sister’s Birthday a memorable one . Thanks very much . We will definitely be returning.

Toilets are absolutely filthy!!! I can tell they have been like that for a while too!! Will not be visiting again because of this as it is not hygienic. Should of took photos on hindsight…

My Shanghai is a Chinese buffet style restaurant. The food is good with lots of choices and you can have them in any combination. I always go there when I am visiting North Shields. I would recommend this restaurant.

Well i must admit this was an experience we won't forget in a hurry! I phoned and asked to speak to the manager in august (whomever the man was that spoke to me i had assumed was manager) i asked if we could dine with midnight in his stroller. I was told yes of course that's fine!! So we went on friday as time passes so quickly...i initially thought we were getting vip treatment and we were pleased we found somewhere to dine with our boy. The food was pleasant other than the salad (prawns tasted bad) and the dessert choices weren't great. Sadly when we went to pay we were not only lied to saying no-one remembered me phoning (yet you remembered we had to travel ?) and we were told we couldn't come back with our boy!! ?? Considering we were paying customers who ate quietly in a deserted area where there was only us and our boy...whom was sound asleep in his stroller being good as gold! Your complete change of attitude towards us has reflected on your review!! Would've been a good review if you hadn't had attitude problem and became hostile towards us! Such a shame as your only staf member i still appreciate is the english gentlemen that seated us! He was polite and kind . Unlike the blonde girl keep coming over and whomever the (gentleman "i say loosely btw as you weren't" was that tried to tell me i no-one remembered my call) so like we told you i am a google reviewer and we have plenty other places that are hospitable for us to dine. Word of advice work on your attitude as you could loose alot more customers than just us!!Vegetarian options: There were various kinds of vegetable dishes-mushrooms, mixed veg, and saladsDietary restrictions: Plenty options for ketoKid-friendliness: Seen alot of children here in the pastWheelchair accessibility: There's a step to get over easy for strollers might be more difficult for wheelchairs

Came here for lunch the other day.. amazing value for money.. food was hot, fresh and plentiful.. exactly what you expect from a Chinese buffet. Can’t wait to come back and try the evening

I really enjoy my visits to this restaurant the food is excellent quality . This visit was marred by a noisy drunken man put on the next table. He abused the staff,and his loud swearing was not acceptable. Unfortunately this spoiled what otherwise was a great experience.

Plenty of choice. Food was hot and tasty. Staff were friendly and kept buffet food topped up. Definitely recommend a visit!

Gorgeous food as always. Amazing service. I went for my birthday. It never disappoints and has so much choice. Love it. Free parking too.

We have been today at 14:00 and dear me. I have never ever been to a worse buffet in my life. Not one piece of food was “fresh/tasted not stale”. Everything was so stale like eating chewing gum. All they do is reheat food from night before. I hope these guys get caught out on food safety because some of the foods were honestly a joke. How as business owner someone can just serve that out. Not to mention the service ?♂️ . Unless you shout from top of your lungs for a waiter you are not being seen. Sad part is it looked like it was an Asian owned l. I expected so much better from Asian cuisine. This place would be empty if it was located in china.

Went for a late lunch with friends. The food had obviously been standing a long time and was far from fresh. It was all dried up. The beef in black bean sauce had no sauce and I was unable to get my teeth into the beef it was so tough. The spring rolls were so hard I could not eat them either. There was a selection of rices all of which were dried up and in a solid mass. The restaurant itself is very pleasant and the staff were friendly but sadly the food was very disappointing. Will not recommend and definitely will not be back.
Booked a table for our granddaughter’s birthday for 10 people arrived to be told they had not kept us a table and it would be an hour for a table . They did not care refused to get manager . Disgusting customer service this place has gone way downhill

The food was very good. A large variety of traditional and non traditional cusine. Desert was also good. However, It was quite when I arrived and the waiter directed my friend and I to a table next to another customer . I found this uncomfortable. Most of the other tables were available and spaced apart so why crowd a few customers tightly together? Over all it was worth the price and the staff were attentive.

Nothing fancy but it's ok. It cost 12.90 per person but u need to order drink for at least 4£ (one glass of coke) otherwise u can't pay by card. some dishes were flavorful and satisfying, others fell short in terms of taste and quality.
