Shanghai Surprise in Southwark

Delicious!! Delivered very quickly.

Food was not seasoned, chips were soggy, tofu was bland and dry, tom yum soup was vile, it tasted like soap. Prawn toast felt undercooked and the whole thing sucked. DO NOT ORDER HERE

Ordered from here and the owner phoned saying I always cancel my order although I’ve only ordered once LAST AUGUST I told him there is 2 of my address that always get mixed up but he wouldn’t listen and cancelled my order. I don’t order often because of the £18 minimum and it’s just me ordering but he wouldn’t listen to a word, customer service is appalling and it’s sad because I actually like their food but it looks like I’m band for no reason at all🙂

Great tasty food as always. Great customer service from the delivery guy too. Thanks

Food was very good. all 3 people was happy.

Sweet and sour tasted terrible , tasted off. Rice and noodles no taste needed more seasoning . Wasn’t great .

It’s cheap ! It Could have been hotter and slightly more flavour on chilli beef and salt and pepper ribs but but crispy chilli beef was actually crispy ! Good portion sizes. When prices are this low can’t really complain

Excellent service. Delivery was extremely prompt and food was piping hot. Thank you.

30 minutes to travel 1.5 miles, was the driver crawling?

A little takeaway, hidden in a secondary road, catering to locals. Depending on the cook, it can be surprisingly good.

Really nice food fresh very happy was a little worried about delivery time but arrived

I'm not very happy with my order or the restaurant, I'll definitely not be using this restaurant again. I think I deserve a full refund.

Great food , excellent delivery driver

Food wasn’t as expected at all. Arrived in a storage box, and the food was freezing cold, even the Sauce was firm. Very disappointed most went in the bin as can’t reheat.

Wasn’t delivered had to collect it myself

Your service was very poor and the delivery man too,all my foods was mixed together.I have to throw all the foods away.

Awful food, arrived two hours after ordering and was cold, tasted terrible.

This place shouldn’t be allowed on just eat. I have used them several times at my mums and my address. There is always something missing. When I spoke to the restaurant, tonight after she cancelled twice when I phoned the restaurant, the lady was VERY rude and said I always complain, I only complain when stuff is missing. Dreadful, I won’t use them again and will warn my family to not use them again. I always use just eat and don’t feel they should be on just eat.

I have tried others.....But "Shanghai Surprise"are never beaten on price and outstanding quality. Plus when you order a large........it is LARGE! They will always be my main go-to for fast food.

Good value and generous portions. No complaints Ace

Love this restaurant wouldn’t order from anywhere else. The delivery man is always polite and the food is always hot. Thank you

Good value, the king prawns are ace. Will try other dishes in future.

Enough portions but most of them doesn't meet my appetite. As a Cantonese I think they are saltier than Cantonese food I'm use to.

Love this place. Ordered from here several times during my time in the city.

Great tasty food and fab customer experience! Thank you

Love this Chinese always comes pipping hot

£50 worth of food in foil containers shoved into one plastic bag meant that we received a ball of food mixed up and leaking in the bag. I'm never ordering from here again.

All dishes very tasty Hot and Sour soup - really tasty Ribs (honey glazed) - lots of meat Singapore rice noodles (king prawn) - lots of prawns

Great all round experience, food arrived early and tasted perfect. I will definitely be ordering from this restaurant again.

I ordered for 7pm I called the restaurant 6.45pm saying I am home now to deliver early if they can, instead it was late. The app said ENJOY YOUR FOOD at 7.05pm But I did not get the order. I called restaurant again explaining the app said ENJOY YOUR FOOD. The lady explained that they use their own drivers. It can 7.25pm late.

Best Chinese food I've had in years , will be ordering again , highly recomended

Really tasty food, with great portion sizes and friendly staff.

Food was delivered really fast 40 minutes earlier then stated, the food was actually alright I enjoyed and will order again.

It was absolutely tasty,will definitely order again

The best Chinese iv had always go there, highly recommend this place.

Always early, fresh , hot and tasty. Great service.

Stale food, cold and undercooked smh.

food came really quickly and it was really good!!

Love my local Chinese take away shop. Their food is on point and there timing is gd.

No flavour, wrong items and dietary request was ignored

The food was tasty. I liked they they had a good selection of veg in the chow Mein. I'd definitely order from here again

I've never been let down by this Chinese, food is always hot and yummy and the delivery guy is always friendly and polite.

Great food and large portions. All delicious, especially the tofu vegetable sweet and sour.

Love this place. The food is amazing

Food arrived on time, food was amazing (mini spring rolls, King prawn vermicelli & hot & sour soup) thumbs up from me!

The spring roll had pork in which I do not eat

Great hot food, delivery guy was 101% on the ball, super fast delivery !

Rubbish food, half an hour late, they don’t even know when the drivers are on there way or track them. Ridiculous.

Worst place ever u will call them and they never pick up but when you go in they ready to take your order! What’s the point of having a landline never again good ain’t that nice any way go else where

Food was absolutely below par. Lacked quality, I ordered for fried squid with ginger and onion, it didn't look anything like fried squid more like plain squid in sauce with spring onion. Man was very rude when we called to complain. Specification should be made on each dish. Very disappointed with the service. bad food and bad service =PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷

Ordered Salt &’ Pepper Chicken Received Wings Not Happy

Order A Large Rice Received A Small

Loved it. A real bargain, this place. The food was tasty, delivered early and you get so much more for your money here compared to the prices of others - I’m sorted for a few days!!! Will definitely order again.

Really disappointing today. Food not as great as it usually is so will think twice before ordering again. Plus points: food was still hot when arrived, driver socially distanced as asked and it was delivered early. That's it.

Crispy beef good but broccoli needed more garlic. Disappointment was in mini spring rolls. Bland, greasy and not worth it.

Excellent broccoli in garlic, and lovely crispy chilli beef. Delivery earlier than stated and food arrived still hot. Fab

Been using Shanghai surprise for years, always good service, food delivered fast, arrives hot and tastes great.

Food is tasty, not oily, good quantity of meat and proper vegetables/ingredients for the price (unlike some other takeaways that fill up the dish with onions). Not the best Chinese food I had but far more than above average for takeaways standard, thank you

Estimated delivery was 1 hour and it came well within that. Good tasty food.

Always on time, food always yummy!

My favourite Chinese takeaway. Always really nice. The restaurant are always really accommodating of dietary requirements.

I've worked here and the kitchen is absolute filth, the boss never washes his hands, the floors havent been mopped to the point there sticky and there are mice sticky traps everywhere.

The food was nice but it looked like they fried up the veggies and put the curry sauce on top. Tasty but not worth it. Next time I’d just buy the curry sauce by itself.

Quality of the meat related food wasn't great. Tasted a bit off.

Delivery was fast and the food was so tasty ... I loved it

So delicious and wonderful! Staff really friendly too. My seaweed was forgotten but they've said they're sending someone round to bring it :)

Meal arrived on time and was hot throughout. New experience with Chinese provider but was impressed. Compliments very enjoyable meal.

first time ordering from here -tasty meal - delivered quickly - no problems. Thank you

Food was of good quilty and order often but on a few occasions had items missing from order

The quality of the food is always delicious but there is always an issue on delivering the food on time.

The delivery went to the wrong entrance and when I was directing him to the correct entrance he was very very rude and had to go downstairs to collect my food The curry was horrible as well never ordering again

Food Was Stale And Stone Cold Quite Frankly Inedible Chips Were Rock Hard & Cold Rice Was Quite Clearly Reheated With Barely Any Meat In At All Sweet & Sour King Prawns Soggy & Chewy Sweet & Sour Chicken Hard & Chewy Disgusted

Excellent food delivered early as always with the Shanghai Surprise take away!

The food is delicious but what let’s this restaurant down is the delivery time. My order took over 2hrs to arrive, by the time it came it was near to cold.

DISGUSTING SMELLY FOOD! The name of restaurant is adequate to what you can expect from them- SUPRISE. FRIED squid is NOT fried but chewy and smelly- uneatable. The chicken with cushnuts is covered with bread crumbs, which isn't mentioned on the menu. Pieces of chicken dried out. I called the restaurant as soon as I opened up the packages and told them that this is NOT what the menu describtion says and not what I expected to be delivered and that it will not eat it. I heard that this is what I ordered and there is nothing they can do about it. An absolute WASTE OF MONEY, time and appetite, this is all I can say.

Everything was bad honestly, shouldve ate cereal

Food is always good delivered reliably as always and will be ordering again soon

Food was hot and tasty and will always be ordering from Shanghai Surprise in the future!

Ordered 2 curry sauces and received i curry and the other was like dishwater not cosumable

Everything came, we all enjoyed the food, but wings needed to be crispier, but th service and the timing were great

Ordered simple items The ribs had no meat on them all gravey an bone and the rice had no pea or egg in the chicken fried rice. This isn't the first time it's happened

Food was good, could have been bigger portions though. Would not give you free prawn crackers.

Quick delivery. Maybe too quick. Duck in Plum sauce wasn't great. No flavour. Just sugary sauce no thicker than water. Duck was more fat than duck. More pineapple than duck. Peking ribs were okay.

Bad quality even for a cheap takeaway standard.

I have ordered from here for many years. It’s normally extremely tasty! But recently it has taken a total nose dive! The pancake roll & noodles was dripping with grease! My duck was oily and no crisp to it. The rice, well that was something else. The only decent thing in my order was the prawn crackers!

Absolutely bang on best prawn toast I've ever had mind you all of it was pucker

The food was fantastic, absolutely delicious fresh would definitely recommend

Best Chinese restaurant ever ! I order from here all the time , they always deliver fast ( took about 15-20 mins). I’ll recommend the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice or curry chicken with fried rice.

So basically this driver couldn’t find my place so I have to leave my 8months old son to go out and look for him. We finally met but gosh he was extremely rude and I am sorry wouldn’t order again if you guys don’t do anything about it as this is the second time he has done it.

The food was very tasteless and dry. Onions not cooked properly and chicken slightly cold with no sauce. Quite disappointing.

Thank you very much, my dinner was great!

Guy who delivered couldn’t find my house so was rather rude on the phone, I have ordered here before and they found my address so I don’t really understand it.

Waste of money!! Food was seriously over cooked

Thank you great service and delivery

Great food, would highly recommend.

Great food, great delivery driver.

Singapore noodles were very bland. They use to be packed with flavour.

I ordered Malaysia chow mein and instead got rice. I think it was special fried rice but not sure. I was hoping to get noodles was not very happy but ate the rice because I was very hungry.

It was greasy and plain all the food we got just tasted of salt and oil. Vermicelli did not have vegetables, pork or chilli peppers or taste. Rice greasy. Spring rolls were greasy. Disappointed.

Good quality food, fast delivery and polite professional delivery driver.
