Works night out, food was good, atmosphere was great service was quick staff were brilliant with everyone. Good for a party atmosphere but not for a date night

Fantastic night was had by all. We took our staff along for the night and everyone had a ball. The pre-ordered food arrived at the table piping hot and all 20+ meals to the right people. The atmosphere was brilliant, the place was packed. Yes there was dancing on the chairs etc, that’s what this place is known for. Every table was invited to the dance floor one by one and asked to sing and also others picked from the many people who put their names up, I’d like to give a special mention too to our waitress, Wendy. She was great, very efficient and helpful. We will be back

Absolutely diabolical from start to finish. Venue fill to capacity, pre orders yet no idea where the orders where going. Our table out of the full night had 2 requests fulfilled yet we were a table of around 20 people. Weren’t given a list of songs and then when they didn’t have songs didn’t let people know despite it being well known songs from the 90s. Found it very difficult to relax and enjoy. Also out right next to an indoor pond and all our table where consuming alcohol and allowed to stand on tables

DONT EAT THE FOOD. EDITING REVIEW AS OWNERS OV CANT HANDLE ABIT OF NEGGY FEEDBACK- rude to anyone who shares how bad the food actually is! I HAD ONE SIP OF ONE OF THE DISGUSTING COCKTAILS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHOTS! I CERTAINLY WASNT DRINKING SO YES IT WAS YOUR FOOD! So unprofessional to say that seeing as the tables i was with spent ALOT of money that night. Food needs improving take the feedback and try to learn from it like adults!!!! Absolutely appalling sorry but it was. Big group half of us are ill. I was throwing up an hour after eating it. Chicken fried rice was bone dry. Spring rolls oily. Worst chinese EVER

I can't praise this place enough. If you've got a group activity that you're looking to have fun or break the ice, this is the place. The food is lovely, that's the first and most obvious point. Often in places such as these, when the activity is seen as equally important the food/service drops a little. I had one of the nicest Asian meals I've had in many, many years. The service was brilliant. It's table service and just as your near finishing your drink, as if by magic, a staff member appears to take your order. Perfectly timed every single time. The entertainment. If you love karaoke then this is the place for you. Young or old this place had them all, no pressure placed on those who don't want to and encouragement from everyone to those that needed a helping hand. I had a fantastic night, we went for a friends Christmas work night out and the whole experience was magnificent. Genuinely can't think of a bad thing to say.. we even got Christmas hats with bobbles which where top quality. If they charged £10 each hat, you wouldn't have felt short changed such was the quality.

We went as a party of 12 for our staff Christmas night out. Everyone had a fantastic time and I was the praise of the workplace for recommending it! Best work night out we have ever had. The food was fantastic. Some had Christmas dinner with trimmings, others had traditional Cantonese a few even had the steak. Prices were very reasonable and value for money? 100%! Since we had a few people who didn't make it (we were already told it was non refundable as we had to book well in advance due to it being Christmas) But the staff very kindly gave us a round of free drinks and a few rounds of shots too since our friends couldn't be there... I have never had a place do that before. I don't think that is common practice and they were so nice and friendly to do it, really over and above as far as customer service goes, more than we expected. The atmosphere, the staff and the food, I would recommend all of it.

It’s 4am, we’re Bo’ness and we are still patiently waiting on our names being called. We will give you the benefit of the doubt as there must have been a mix up, however at the same time we are disgusted and offended at this absurd behaviour.

I booked shanghai shuffle for my 22nd birthday with a party of 42. From the moment I enquired, they could not have been more accommodating and helpful. On the night, despite a few late covid call offs, they were nothing but an absolute delight. A lovely meal, great drinks, followed by the most fun I have had in my entire life. If you are looking for a birthday, Christmas night out, family party, or any sort of celebration, I could not recommend it more highly! I’ll be seeing you for my 23rd, 24th, 25th and every single birthday until I lose my voice from singing. Thank you so much!

Good enjoyable night out with work colleagues. Music was fantastic and everyone in the place were having a ball. The compère did a great job of encouraging all to sing. Food was ok but that’s not what you go for. One word of warning. Waiting staff serving drinks tried to charge same amount for second round as first despite two less drinks, then reduced amount by one drink. Also watch your food if you are up dancing as staff tend to clear plates even with food still on them. Still enjoyed the night but keep your wits about you.

La última vez que estuve aquí fue hace mucho, mucho tiempo y juré que nunca regresaría. No puedo escribir aquí lo que leí en el periódico unas semanas después de la visita, pero simplemente resumí lo que sospechaba. Basta con decir que lo hice solo por 1 noche y ABSOLUTAMENTE NUNCA volveré a hacerlo. Lo único que había mejorado era la comida. Si no te importa salir por la noche donde hay música alta y gente parada en sus asientos y bailando mientras todavía comes, este es probablemente el lugar para ti. Llámeme anticuado, pero me gusta poder hablar durante una comida y conocer a personas en un grupo que no he conocido antes. No hay mucho espacio en las mesas, ya que la gente parece estar abarrotada. Agregue a eso algunos comentarios de los cantantes / DJ que se considerarían muy groseros y unPC donde trabajo, y puedo tomar una buena broma con el mejor de ellos) y puede obtener la imagen. Disfruto de una buena noche y un baile, pero este no es mi lugar y tengo muchos colegas que están de acuerdo conmigo. Ah, y la pista de baile (si se puede llamar así) está llena de 6 personas.

Fuimos a Shanghai Shuffle para nuestro trabajo nocturno y justo para decir que nos quedamos muy decepcionados. La comida de todos salió por separado y el personal estaba sacando bebidas de la mesa que estaban llenas mientras la gente bailaba. Cuando se les preguntó acerca de esto, el personal era extremadamente grosero e inútil. Shanghai Shuffle más como Shanghai Shameful. Definitivamente no volveré! ! !

Recientemente visitamos en una noche con 32 amigos. Éramos las únicas personas en el lugar y todo fue un desastre! Primero, mi amiga que es vegetariana pidió sus papas fritas con sus fideos como plato principal y la ruda camarera anunció que era grosera y que no le servían ninguna bebida. ! El servicio de comida fue impactante, considerando que éramos las únicas personas que recibían las comidas principales antes de que se sirvieran los entrantes. Después de todo esto comenzó el karaoke, pensamos que iba a convertirse en una gran noche, ¡pero poco sabíamos que cada vez que alguien compraba una bebida y les daba la espalda, las camareras estaban levantando BEBIDAS COMPLETAS para hacerte comprar más! ¡Después de exigir hablar con la gerencia o los propietarios y no hacer nada más que despreciar al personal, todos nos fuimos temprano! No recomendaré este lugar a nadie y, sin duda, no volveremos.

Desastre absoluto. Cada vez que nos levantábamos a bailar, el personal tomaba nuestras bebidas de la mesa y, cuando se les preguntaba a dónde habían ido, todas las copas estaban vacías y para obtener más en el bar. Una estratagema para sacar más de nuestro dinero. Aparte de eso, incluso la comida era desastrosa. Todas las comidas, que no eran nada para jactarse, salieron por separado, y algunos de nosotros terminamos antes de que otros hubieran recibido la suya. El "karaoke" no tenía música actual, y el personal fue muy grosero e inútil.

Food was delicious, and the mixed starter sharing platter was so tasty. Mixed satay was not what I was expecting as the meat was on skewers but very nice all the same.

We visited on a Monday and had the 2 course set menu between 12 and 2 which was really great value . The portions were good and the curry had a lovely flavour. Very busy and good service.
