I wouldn't normally complain but tonight's meal was terrible. Husbands ribs were over cooked, chips were cold and hard, and the so called scampi was slimy and undercooked. It wasn't even scampi, I hate to think what fish it came from. It all went in the bin

My wife and I fancied a takeaway following a return from a winter holiday, however our usual Chinese and Indian takeaways were closed. My wife spotted New Shanghai via a web search and we thought we would try somewhere new...and we were impressed. The website we ordered through suggested the order would be with us within the hour, however it arrived just 20 minutes after ordering, and given we live the opposite end of town, that's pretty fast. The lady who delivered the order was very friendly and cheerful. The food was plentiful and tasty...we ordered General Tso's Chicken, House Special Curry and a large Thai Fried Rice...the dishes were nicely spicy with fresh chilli pieces in the rice and a spicy sauce with the General Tso. Not only was it great food, but they provide free prawn crackers with orders over £10 and they also gave us a Chinese wall calendar for the New Year in with the bag. I was impressed. I am sure we will use New Shanghai again, based on this first order.

Awful meal. Starting off with being charged 50p to order of their own website and collect paying with cash. Food ready and in a bag when I arrived 10 mins early so only lukewarm. Spring rolls in batter and mainly bland beansprouts. The shrimp chow mein should have been called chow mean as 5 shrimps! Go elsewhere . Sad as used to be okay. Maybe it has changed hands?

To be honest flavors and food was beautiful my only complaint was as being a lover of spicy food In my order I asked for special curry an could it be made extra hot what I got was lovely flavors but borderline if u would call it a curry even with the xtra sliced chilli in it just didn't have any punch not what I would call a curry even if u like them milder apart from that food was very nice

So disappointed, always use as lovely but tonight ordered at 5.30pm and was told 1 hour wait. Rang at 7pm as still not arrived and was told they were busy and would be another 30/50 minutes. If I was told they were busy when I placed the order I'd have arranged something else.

So sad to say that our chinese tonight was really not too great...chow mein was over cooked and slimey, rice tasteless and the curry sauce was so watery and bland plus the veggie spring rolls were soft and squishy.

Me and my partner have been getting our Chinese from new shanghai now for about a year. We have tried many other Chinese’s in lowestoft including the one in corton and golden Phoenix and this tops them both! Their food is always hot, fresh and tasty! It’s never greasy and so flavourful! I rarely leave reviews on here but I had to for these guys as they deserve it! Don’t believe the old reviews, you won’t be disappointed with this Chinese! Big portions and good value for money. If you also like veg spring rolls, they do the best ones I’ve ever tasted! Not the cheap frozen ones that normal Chinese’s do, I’m sure these are home made! Give them a try!! Family run and delivery is always quick! Thankyou new shanghai, we will always return to you! 💗

I usually use this Chinese.. it’s usually pretty good.. but today i’m Absolutely appalled. The food arrived 55 minutes early from my requested delivery time (ordered for after my daughter was in bed), but yet it was stone cold. The salt and pepper chicken was tough, cold and pretty much flavourless. The Salt and pepper chips were soggy, stale and with hardly any seasoning... the rice was okay other than the temperate. The chicken curry was the only thing that was actually hot, although didn’t have the spice it usually does. I’m thoroughly disappointed. It was almost like I’d left a Chinese out overnight and reheated it the next morning :(

Everything was hot and the delivery driver was lovely. I would say all the food or most of it was very bland, I didn’t feel it matched up to other Chinese restaurants I’ve ordered from. The Satay sauce lacked true flavour, you could tell by its colour, none or lack of peanuts and there was nice spice to it either. The chow mien was rather salty and I didn’t taste the sauce it was in, there was just no where near enough flavour for me. The chips were crispy and hot, could perhaps do with a pinch of sea salt and a little shake. The ribs tasted weird for me, I’ve had a lot of Chinese ribs and these just didn’t have that normal taste I don’t know why though, could be different meat that I’m used to etc. The crispy fried sweet chilli beef was lovely, not many restaurants get it nice and crispy, I really enjoyed it, I do think the sauce it was in should be a bit thicker as it had the consistency of water. My food did arrive earlier than expected a bit too early and sometimes having your food arrive to early makes you wonder whether it was cooked all from fresh. Apart from what I’ve pointed out I think if you add more flavour into your cooking, you could do really well. The delivery man was lovely as well.

Won't be ordering from here again. Food was late, and the food itself was tasteless! I ordered duck pancakes and the duck was dry and bland, also ordered some satay sauce and it tasted nothing like how satay sauce should taste. All I could taste was coconut which I hate and I even had to phone them to double check they had given me satay sauce as it tasted more like a mild curry! The chips weren't great either. This will be the first and last time we order from these.

If you love our visit North Lowestoft and fancy some really good fish & chips, you won't beat going to Pips in Queens Road, beautifully cooked and very reasonable prices. Try the XL Cod but only if you're hungry! !

As a local I don’t use the cod house but happened to be close so tried it but it was very disappointing The fish was dripping in oil and the batter was soggy. The battered sausages looked like they’d been cooked about 4 hours earlier and only half covered in soggy batter There are much better chip shops in the town so avoid this one !
