“ First time ordering to go here and and portion size was large indeed. Very flavorful and tasty. Would recommend if you have a taste for some good Asian food. ”
“ I wouldn't say excellent as some others have said; however, but very good applies. Server was attentive, not exceptional but very good. Food was good. The orange beef was nice. Still room to improve, but I would come here again and try more items, or even the same. ”
“ Absolutely wonderful food. We have ordered from this restaurant for takeout many times with special requests. The restaurant has gotten it right every time! We like that this is a local family-owned restaurant. ”
“ Good food, good prices, fast service, glad I gave them a try. I have lived 30 minutes away from decent Chinese food for 10 years. So glad to have moved to a place with good Chinese restaurants! I will be back. ”
“ Favorite place to enjoy some Chinese food! Everyone there is great! Couldn't recommend more! ”
“ Good standard Americanized Chinese. Spicy shrimp in garlic sauce with lo mien and hit and sour soup were both great-- AFTER adding their homemade chili oil. Great personable service in a laid back atmosphere. ”
“ This week I stopped by Shanghai Express for lunch. It is consistently good, and one of my favorite Chinese places in Georgetown. I got the Peking Seafood Combination lunch special. It was not my favorite. It has a brown sauce that I am not partial to. Next time I will stick with my favorite Rainbow Shrimp dish. That being said;, my fried rice, egg roll, and egg drop soup was good. The service was fabulous, as always. Yesterday, I witnessed one of her owners run out to the parking lot to take a purse to a customer who left it behind. They are always extremely courteous and friendly, and that is what continues to bring me back again and again. ”
