Shanghai Garden in South Holland

Apparently delivering food 2 hours plus after it's ordered is ok. And walk ins jump the queue over already allocated time slots

Have ordered many times from here and only had the odd issue here and there. Unfortunately tonight it took 2 hours 10 minutes to be delivered and the food is cold. This may be the final nail in the coffin for shanghai garden for me. Disappointed.

Unfortunately I shall not be ordering online anymore as too many mistakes. This time no sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style was delivered so already a meal short then also found the crispy shredded beef had no sauce and was far too dry to eat. Pretty disgusting actually. Normally the food we do get is good so will only eat in the restaurant in future so can complain in person if the food quality is not to scratch or if dishes are missing.

Far exceeded expectations, really good selection, excellent speedy service, every dish freshly cooked, piping hot, and without doubt one of the best value meals in the town.

We ordered a Chinese from here and ordered same as we always do. Unfortunately it had some hard bones in the meal which shouldn’t have bones I rang them up and said her chef checks before the food goes out I said well it definitely had bones in it wasn’t a great experience at all won’t be going here again unfortunately last time we had also was chewy and cold very let down as used to be rather nice

Placed the order for delivery, waited two hours and 10 minutes, then called and was told the food was not even prepared or cooked. Told to wait another hour for the delivery. App is pointless and there is no customer service whatsoever.

Always had a decent meal from this Chinese but the last couple of online orders which included sweet and sour prawn Cantonese style have been delivered as sweet and sour prawn balls even though ordered correctly. Clearly there is a mistake with their online menu or someone can’t read.

I have eaten Chinese food in Hong Kong, Malaysia the USA and Canada, and this restaurant ranks with the best of any I have eaten in. Allowing the diner to select multiple small portions of food for each course, mirrors true Chinese dining. The food is authentic Hong Kong, beautifully prepared and presented, the tase matching the presentation. The value for money is excellent, we paid £65 for a meal for two with a bottle of white Zin.

Had a delivery was missing part of my order was told when I called the that I would get a refund for what's missing and nothing else as there to busy Been using them for a while but won't be using anymore

Rang and Ordered a delivery and was told it would be an hour, an hour and half later not arrived so I rang and was told it was on its way. 2 hours from ordering rang again and heard the manager in background saying what does she expect it’s a Saturday night tell her stop calling. If I hadn’t paid for the meal I would have told him where to put it. The lady that took my call was very professional unlike the manager. Eventually after 2 hours 10 mins food arrived and was very average. I will NEVER order from there again.

First of all, I ordered a takeaway through the holbeach branch at 6 o’clock, which was then transferred to the Spalding branch without any communication to myself. After ringing the original branch at 7:15 to find out where my order was, only then was I informed about the change. I then rang the Spalding branch to be told after 10 minutes on the phone that it will arrive in 30 minutes - when in fact, you could hear the chef in the background say to the person on the phone that they didn’t even have the order. After 45 minutes we then rang again only to be told that it would be another half an hour! At 8:30 the food then arrived. I am really disappointed with this and there nothing was offered to rectify or apologise. Because of that I definitely will not be ordering from here again and would urge anyone else to find elsewhere.

Given we were eating on a Friday night and the place was empty, I should have realised it wasn't going to be great. The food was OK but left with stomach cramps and was ill a couple of days later. Ordering was via a piece of paper like a betting slip, wine was over-priced and not very nice BUT the staff were nice and friendly.

Order food thew just eat, was really looking too it till I opened the bag containg crispy duck the smell knock me back it smelt rotton completely off I rang them straight away didn't really care made every excuse and told me to contact just eat for.a refund I will never use again and will be reporting

Great service and food was delicious - very fresh and hot; we enjoyed all the dishes. Would definitely recommend Shanghai Garden

Regularly visit this Restaurant for it's outstanding a La Carte menu. Great food, great price and great service

Metal wire found inside piece of chicken while chewing - manager didn’t know what to do and gave me a refund for the chicken curry, as this is a foreign body in food meant for consumption - local health inspectors have been informed.

Always good food ,service and choice relaxed atmosphere been many times and have never had reason to complain,

Beautiful food! Lovely setting! Very friendly staff and very well priced! Always a good experience! Food very fresh, flavoursome, hot and tasty! A very good price with the À la cart menu.

Ordered a takeaway to collect, waited next door in the red lion for it to be ready. When arriving home found that the 1/4 duck was missing. Called and informed them only to be told they have no record of that being ordered although I paid for it 🤔 but I paid in cash 🤔 someone is on the make 🤔 who knows, but my son went without his duck. Avoid avoid avoid !!!

The place could do with a bit of a brighten up. The food is good, particularly the lunchtime buffet. Recommended

My husband treated us to a takeaway last night, usually get it from Shanghai when we do have a Chinese. Usually our meal is good, not excellent but normally ok. Last nights meal was terrible. 30 minutes we were told for collection, 1 hour later we got it brought downstairs with 3 other orders. No wonder it was freezing cold by the time we got it Home, god knows how long it had been sitting upstairs in their kitchen. Everytjin* tasted like it had been cooked 3 times, dry, cold and duscusting. I think prawn crackers should be supplied if you spend over £20 and also a 50p card charge. I can understand if you spend less than £10 but should be free if you spend over £15/£20.

Never order from this restaurant if you expect your food to be delivered on time or hot.If you ring to complain expect whoever is answering to ask you what you expect them to do about it.Well don't take large orders from people when you can't deliver on time and constantly insult people's intelligence by telling lies about where the food is.Epic fail by Shanghia Garden.

Ate on a Monday evening in January. We chose this restaurant as it was the only one we could find open in Spalding town centre on a Monday evening ! Interesting menu, essentially three choices for eating. Normal a la carte menu you would get anywhere, normal set meal options for 2/3/4 people etc again as you would get anywhere, but then there was the 2 course choice menu as I will call it. Basically for £13.50 per head - provided there are at least 2 of you - you may order 3 dishes per person from the starter menu (about 30 items to chose from) then 3 dishes each from the main courses/rice/noodle dishes on offer (again about 30 dishes). Many of the mains list the sauce/cooking style and you may then chose different meats or prawns. This seemed good value so we opted for this. Starters - chicken satay skewers - delicious. Seasme prawn toast - OK but only 2 pieces was disappointing. Smoked chicken - nice but in effect two chicken strips served in breadcrumbs - not the small pieces cooked in chili I have usually eaten. Breaded mushrooms - served rather cooler than they should have been. Prawns in batter - delicious. Mains - Lemon chicken - very good. Noodles with prawns - delicious, probably the best dish we had. Stir fried mixed veg, - good. Beef fried rice - good. Stir fried prawns in garlic and ginger - very good but small portion. Lamb in Szechuan sauce - very disappointing, meat totally overpowered by thick cloying sauce, could have been beef rather than lamb I would never have known. So some good dishes, some not so. Staff however were very friendly and welcoming. And price at£13.50 per head was very good.

Phoned for a take away to be delivered but told hour and a half wait, so decided to collect as that was only a half hour wait! Returning home we unpacked the food only to discover the lemon chicken was missing....very disappointed

Parecía un buen lugar, justo en el centro de la ciudad, pero una vez dentro es como la de un hotel de una estrella con una mala recepción bar y mal presentado. El saludo fue muy agradable y nos llevaron a nuestra mesa, que tenía buen Manteles y servilletas. En la esquina de la mesa, era la pared que estaba resquebrajándose y también cubiertas con láminas de plástico y cinta de peligro muchas telarañas, que tuve que quedarme mirando durante toda la comida. Las entradas llegaron rápidamente y tuve que decir que era muy agradable. La red era bastante horrible, como de un mal para llevar chino que es extraño teniendo en cuenta los aperitivos estaban bien. La camarera luego disspeared por un largo tiempo y podíamos oír el ruido muy fuerte como si alguien moviéndose de arriba, quizás hay muebles arriba inquilinos... extraño. Puedo decir honestamente que no volveremos, pero hay un montón de posibilidades aquí para mejorar si sólo un poco de esfuerzo con la decoración y conseguir un chef descenso también solucionaría el venidas de arriba.

In town to pick up a sandwich, it was just after midday and first smelt then saw a lady with a take away box of Chinese food. Close to Shanghai gardens so nipped in and for £4.30 given a standard takeaway box, fork and napkin. It's buffet style with all usual offerings,opted for a half a dozen things, ribs, egg fried rice, noodles, sweet and sour chicken, wrapped prawns, and Chinese pork. Sat in broad street car park and eat it using up my car park ticket. A good hot alternative to a sandwich meal deal and very enjoyable. Recommend and will return.

10/10 would come again. I caught 20 drowzees while waiting for my mushroom fried rice. There are always 12 year olds who use their parents money on lures for the Pokestops in this area. Worth the cost of the food alone.

Always great food and personally the best Chinese takeaway I. Sanding . Food always quality and recommend the Chinese pork and mushroom

Hay que probarlo, qué opción tienes y la comida es increíble lleno de sabor.

Cuatro de nosotros llegamos a 6,15 pm, nos llevaron a nuestra mesa y se explica cómo nos pide la comida buffet - entrante y plato principal estaban decididas recién preparado entrantes llegar rápidamente (nos había explicado que íbamos a ir al cine para 7,30 ) entonces nuestro plato principal ... así que muchos recién hecho, sabrosos platos. Buena comida, encantador, personal amable y nos hubiera gustado haber permitido más tiempo para disfrutar de la experiencia. Sin duda volveremos, y le daremos más tiempo para disfrutar de la noche.

I regularly visit this chinese all you can eat, the food is generally very good for the money you pay as its very competitive, however if you get there for around 1pm you normally find that the owners are very reluctant to fill the food up. When lunch runs till 1.45 you really need to be filling up the food when more people are arriving. It is a small moan but important one. This said the food is tasty and the price is very good

This place ticked all the boxes for me. The food, a lunchtime Chinese buffet, was delicious. There was a wide range of tasty freshly cooked dishes and the curry sauce was especially good. The value was unarguable..all you can eat for £6.50. An adjacent café was advertising "Chicken curry for £5.75"! The venue is a cosy oak beamed dining room. The service was delivered by Mary, a delightful young woman who combined warmth and courtesy with boundless energy and efficiency. I had no hesitation in leaving a 20% tip. Please do not be put off by the negative reviews I have seen. The restaurant was very busy from 12 until 2 with good reason.This is an ideal place for lunch and when I next visit this beautiful market town I shall certainly lunch here again.

A very well priced buffet option. £15.50 for three courses. The food was plentiful and freshly cooked.As we had three people in our party, we could choose six items for our starter and main. Starter portions were large, and very tasty. The King spare ribs were a particular favourite! Second course was crispy lamb - which was lovely, and moister than duck!Then we had the main - again six choices. Portions were slightly smaller, but by this point that didn't matter!Highly recommended ... By all three of us! We will be back!

We arrived at seven and left at eleven after only a small amount of terrible food, which gave me diarrhoea. We had to wait an hour a between courses, while the staff kept repeatedly asking whether we wanted any more of the horrendously watered down drinks. But we were all clearly starving. When the food did come they served the equivalent of reheated ready meals. I just wanted to leave.

Looked at the reviews and this looked like a good recommendation. When we got there it was closed even though it should have been open and it was only a very seedy take away shop. There were no signs anywhere to tell us where the restaurant was and we had the right address. Don't waste your time on this!

Had lunch in here. Food was excellent; very tasty indeed. Good value for money, although website said it was £5.50 for the buffet. Was charged £6.50. When I questioned this, apparently the prices had gone up in October (10 months ago) and the manager refused to honour the advertised price! Apart from this, staff were friendly overall. HIghlight is the building which is very old and has wonderful old beams; well worth a visit just to experience this historic place.

Love this restaurant, we have had many work meals here and we cannot fault it. Friendly service and beautiful fresh food.

We were in spalding for one night and stumbled on this restaurant and had a great meal. The place is clean and the buffet selection idea is a great idea. Everything we ate was tasty and hot and it was exceptionally good value for money. If we were ever in Spalding again I would go back.

I ate tonight with my family and friends , the food was fresh , the staff are very good . The chicken are halal. I would recommend this place to all my friends in my hospital .

The place looks clean enough once you get through the door, the staff were very welcoming.I liked that you could fill a sheet out to order you're own parties buffet (we didn't)We had an appetiser each, separate main courses, fried rice, chow mien and a couple of soft drinks.I have to say the food was good and plenty of it, loads left over. I think the bill at £35 was a fair price too.The downside; The waitress was in a hurry to clear our table while we were still eating (she did apologise). The worst thing was the other guests who were very noisy, so not much of a cosy meal and chat was had. Overall not bad at all.

Thoroughly enjoyed my night. Great price all you can eat however I was stuffed by the second corse. Great service, and fair priced drinks. Will be going back
