Shanghai Express in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fresh, hot food. Singapore noodles were too spicy as were the Szechuan prawns.

Not good , sorry ! Fatty inedible meat .

our food turned up early and cold and the prawn crackers were stale the curry sauce was solid and the rice was mushy. i think we deserve a refund. probably the worst Chinese I have ever had.

Ribs were excellent, sweet and sour a little bland this time around. Always very quick delivery and good quality, would order again

the food was excellent - fresh, well cooked and filling. This is teh second time I've ordered from this restaurant and both times the standard was equally high

The food was on point and I would definitely order from them again. The Only One criticism that I have is where they fry the ribs before putting them into the Honey sauce they over fried my ribs and they were really crispy and a little tough. So I think next time I have to say please do not over fry my ribs. Because when you're spending £6.50 on a portion of ribs you want to be able to enjoy them not to be crunching on them and I was crunching on the meat not the bone.

This the best Chinese takeaway we have had in the past 3 years I would recommend. The starters were a little average but the main courses were really good

It was absolutely disgusting. We threw most of it into the compost bin. Complete waste of money.

I wish I could up load a photo... the Shredded Crispy Beef in Chilli was filled with too many onions which overpowered the entire dish. I suggest if you have to pad the dish then use carrots or nothing at all...shame really. Spicy Ribs with Salt & Chilli were good. Egg Fried Rice was underwhelming

I always order from this restaurant. same dishes but ordered a lot more tonight. Two noodles out of three were inedible, mushy and noodles all stuck together. Just Eat rang them to say food wasn’t good and their reply was ‘ this is how we cook, and sorry not our fault’ Will NOT BE ORDERING FROM THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN.

Very good food I well definitely order again.

Ribs were great, with extra salt and chilli as requested! Sweet and sour was ok, not a lot of flavour but quite tasty. Very quick delivery.

We did not get the dessert and the drink we ordered and paid. It was very bad service.

Very good food, delivered in good quality sealable boxes with napkins and both plastic cutleries and chopsticks. Delivery arrived 20 minutes early. I will definitely order again.

Food tastes like it was made in a rush using cheap ingredients, if I wasn't so hungry I wouldn't have eaten it. They forgot part of the order and it was over 2 hours later that I received them.

Food was good except disappointed with the bbq pork canotonese style. Delivery driver rang the bell and knocked loudly despite the instructions to be quiet as my baby was sleeping...

The ribs were floavourless and bad texture

Great food. Authentic and tasty satay.

Food was okay but forgot my can of Coke again!

Quality of food was substandard. Food took ages to arrive, which would be fine if it were freshly prepared, Hough quality food; but it wasn't. It was clearly heard I'm a microwave. So why did it take so long to arrive? Duck was very dry and resembled wood or cardboard. Everything else was like a slimy mixture of sugar and msg. It alright whilst not but as soon as it cooked down just a little it was bland and tasteless. Biggest problem was food was tied and old.... Food should be fresh, full of favour and exciting, not dry, tired and old.

Not worth the calories. Poor seasoning, hard rice

Satay sauce does not taste like satay but salt and pepper prawns were sooooo tasty. Once the Oder was placed it added an extra 30 mins onto the delivery time, making it take about 1 1/2 hours to arrive.

absolutely delicious! great takeaway, thanks xx

Once the order was placed, we were advised it would take an hour for delivery... in total it took 80 minutes to reach us! Much, much slower than other delivery services.

Ordered from here several times now and it never dissapoints !!

Delicious fresh food, delivery was early. Would defiantly order again!

Really good food, loved it, would order again and again.

fillet steak was not nice at all, very rubbery meat.

Nice food, great portions. Will certainly order again! Thanks 😊

The restaurant added 15mins to delivery time. When the driver finally arrived he had trouble getting into the building, when I went downstairs to collect the food he was extremely hostile and accused me of not answering the door for 10 minutes, I did but it was obviously a technical fault and I went down after trying to open three times. He gave me the food then he slammed the delivery box, took the money without making eye contact and left. I would only recommend if you want mediocre Chinese food with a side of unecessary aggression.

Food was ok, the broccoli wasn’t as described and the delivery was really late. Called the restaurant, no apology, wouldn’t order again

really great food. came early. no complaints

first time ordering, we had to change delivery address which was no problem, customer service was great. Food arrived quick and hot, very tasty! the only problem was we ordered the meal for two and we didn’t get the spring rolls!

Very disappointing. Food was tasteless, too glutinous, had little diversity of texture or flavour. Spare ribs especially poor.

The food. Was hot and fresh. Best Chinese we've ever had

Extended delivery time by 30 mins then delivered 40 mins early. Item missing as per one of the other reviews and delivery driver had gone before realising, otherwise was good

forgot item in order, still got charged for it

Great food! They also gave us 2 free tubs of chilly oil. very satisfied customers :)

the delivery and package are good but the taste of food is not very satisfactory. I ordered Thai food but it's too sweet.

super place and very delicious food

Great tasting food, highly recommended Will order again.

Very happy with the service. Always high standard

All of the food was dry/overcooked and the prawn crackers were chewy like they'd been left out overnight. A very disappointing meal.

This was my first time using this website and I'm a bit disappointed. Delivery was fast but the food was not what I was expecting. Shredded Duck Fried Rice was ok athough when I read "shredded duck" I expected it to look well......shredded. Looked more like duck chunks to me. . The Honey Ribs were dry and tough to chew. Crispy Seaweed wasn't as sweet as some other places I've tried. Tofu was nice but portion could have been bigger with less sauce.

Really fresh, good quality food and a much shorter wait than expected. Would definitely order again.

the tofu is too sweet with spicy bamboo shoots, if anyone like sweet dishes, it will do. the only dish I like is the beef fry rice noodle, however, the quantity is satisfy for the price is offer.

Food was food but missing a pack of prown crackers

Very tasty, quick delivery, and large portions. 8.5/10 for me

no flavour in the food. Pad Thai came with no peanuts or lime. absolutely flavourless!

Good quality but it came very late.

The food had no seasoning what so ever especially the green thai curry wasn't a curry

Ribs were so dry and hard to chew like rubber. Crispy duck was not crispy and it was too overcooked. Every dish was overcooked and dry. I don't recommend you order from this restaurant unless you want to eat rubber.

Best Chinese outside china luv it

Missing items very late food, staff seem unhappy

The food is delicious and always on time but this is the second time now that all of my order hasn't been delivered (cake this time, spring rolls last time) and that just isn't good enough; that is £6 lost!

Took 1 hr 15 mins but said 45 mins when ordered. The prawn crackers tasted awful

Absolutely no taste or seasoning in any of the food tasted like frozen Iceland food deep fried I'm so upset I spent £26 on the food was soooo hungry and not one thing tasted nice will not be ordering again I would suggest using fresh meats as you really can tell it was frozen food

Delivered half an hour later than original timing

The worst takeaway I've had in a very long time. The mixed starters were so dry they were almost inedible. The main course was bland and very disappointing. What a waste of money.

Starter for 2 was disgusting. Inedible! Rest of it was ok

Order came quicker than listed, food was delicious and really reasonably priced, would definitely order again!

Lovely food big portions lovely

No Coca Cola in my delivery.. spring rolls quite poor.

Great portion sizes, unbelievable seaweed. Speedy delivery

Arrived an hour early - requested for 20:45 for a reason food was then getting cold at the time we planned to eat. Food was not particularly authentic. Roast pork was hard, not much flavour. Sauce a bit watery. Prawns were good though. They didn't mark the reciept as being paid already so the just-eat deliverer tried to get me to pay again in cash. Overall. Unsatisfactory.

Not the best food, took a long time to deliver, wouldn't order again.

If you're looking for a half-decent Chinese takeaway, don't bother with this one. Food quality wasn't great and the whole order was pretty much inedible. Delivery was prompt however.

5/5!! Excellent EVERYTHING! Will not disappoint it was all delicious!! Completely recommend!

The food was great, but I did not receive one of the items I ordered.

The lemon chicken and salt king prawns were delicious but the honey ribs and sweet & sour pork was dry

Quality food, price and delivery time.

Highly recommended, Food is close to authentic. Great customer service!

Excellent food. Loved everything about it. very very tasty.

The food was absolutely awful. Pad Thai smelt like socks

Delivery time was 22:40 - the food arrived 22:15. Amazing.

It was all yummy and great! It also came early :D

Extremely disappointed! Will be the last time I order from here and I recommend you look at other options also. I placed my order at 19.30 the food arrived 21.17!!! I live 0.9 miles away! The time of order and distance was even printed on the receipt. When I called to see where the food was and what the delay was I was met with a unsympathetic tone and no additional discount or even free prawn crackers was offered! To make matters even worse the delivery driver arrived without any change and insisted I find the correct change in my house or pay extra!! Once again AVOID THIS PLACE, its not worth the hassle or the money!!

The food wasn't tasty, delivery was late, and the service wasn't nice

didn't send veg spring rolls, got ignored when i contacted to request them

Quick delivery time, big portions, tasty food and good value. Will definitely order again.

Very good quality food, delivered extremely quickly.

We were really happy with how early it arrived

Lovely food, nice portions! Will definitely order again

Coke wasn't the size I wanted .

I love Shanghai Express. Today's dishes were especially good! The flavours were great. But I think I may think that every time! :o)

aromatic duck and the noodles were on point but the tom yum soup was gloopy and awful. Would order again but stay away from the soup

Missed my prawn crackers and added meat to the noodles that were meant to be vegetarian

Food was excellent and arrived before it stated it would, the food was still hot on arrival, unlike some restaurants. very happy will order again.

I always ordered same meal and same quality. Which mean really recommend.

Great timing with the food and very happy with the taste of all the dishes I ordered. Would happily ordee again

Amazing food but arrived 15minutes later than predicted. Worth the wait though - would definitely order again!

Person who delivered my food 9nly gave me one drink when I bought two

excellent food excellent prices 20% off what more can you ask for?

Very good food and service. Thank you

Love their food. I only order from this restaurant. I'm not kidding.

Didn't get any pancakes with the half duck we ordered...

absolutely enjoyed the food and will definitely be ordering from this great establishment again!

Disappointed with food quality. Extremely salty, dry and and unrecognisable. But we got it really fast!

Would recommend. Its not the first time I ordered here and will order again.

We have just moved into the area and we're going to try lots of places to find out new favourite. However we now don't need to look any further. Food was all flavoursome and hot.
