The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Milton Keynes South East

Out of the blue, the owners of this fabulous restaurant have decided to retire and the Old Shanghai won’t be getting any older under their management. So it was that a large number of regulars managed to get a table booked to give them and their extended family (including 2 grandchildren – part of the decision to retire, I suspect) a good sendoff. Usual great service, usual great experience but sadly, for the last time. I think the majority of diners were ordering one of the festive meals and no point is commenting on the food as the restaurant closed when the last person left. From all in Olney and surrounding area, Alan and Mei, have a great, long and happy retiral - you will be missed.

The food is really really tasty, tried food from both the Chinese menu and the Japanese menu and both are good. The sushi tastes fresh and the Chinese food is very flavourful. The staff are polite but sometimes it can be a bit difficult to flag one down to order more drinks as they are quite busy.

Amazing food, great service. It is a shame they have now clised becayse if retirement. I wish them well!

The rice Isn't exactly great as for the Sauce in the curry powder its thick and just fit for the bin, God knows why the food is cold when it arrives, I wont be using it no more.

Food full of flavour spring rolls and chicken sweetcorn beautiful duck so tender mina who runs restaurant made us feel so welcome always smiling definitely be back

We ordered a takeaway. It arrived lovely and hot. However, that’s the only positive I can give. The egg fried rice was BOILED rice with some chopped egg thrown in. The chicken balls were soft and stodgy. The batter was very thick and nasty and the chicken inside was tough and chewy like it was rubber. Clearly it was made the the cheapest chicken ever. The special chow mein was tasteless, I mean NO FLAVOUR at all. All the meats were chewy and hard. It was disgusting. We will NEVER eat from here again. I make better Chinese and I am English.

Been going to the Chinese a few years now each weekend we're at our caravan. Fantastic food every time. Chicken chow mein in satay sauce, special chow mein,chips,pancake roll every time. Nowhere else beats this Chinese, the lady behind counter knows our order now.Miss it through the winter months

Nice Chinese takeaways with authentic Hong Kong flavours. Reasonable price with good portion. Highly recommend

Had a couple of deliveries now and food is so nice, good flavours and portions at a reasonable price. We really missed Linwah so pleased this is now our go to for Chinese

Ordered a takeaway. Delivery was 40 mins late. When we tried to call for an update the person was rude and hung up.! When the food arrived it was cold, tasted funny , the tofu was hard and greasy, the chicken was slimy, the noodles were all stuck together and the duck smelt off. Called to complain and asked for a refund. Again they were rude and hung up. Called again and he told me to call back and ask for manager.

Just had a brilliant meal from Sam’s, it was the most recent visit of many here over many years. The food is always made with the freshest most flavoursome quality ingredients. Always very tasty and well cooked. Great value for money. Would 100% recommend to others. The best in the area by far.

The food was delayed by 15 minutes as they were busy. But it was worth the wait.

We always got our takeaway from the New Mandarin when they were in Shenley and always thought they were the best, then they had the fire and closed , we tried several other takeaways and then found the New Mandarin were at the Countryman Pub in New Bradwell and went there, the first time back well before Xmas was fine, but we went yesterday (for a takeaway) 10/2/2024 we had half a duck the portion looking much smaller than it used to be, but as it happened it was supposed to feed 2 but when i saw the green on some of the pieces of duck i did not want to eat it, my partner who has no sense of taste or smell picked out the green bits and ate his half of the portion, luckily he has not been ill but i have lots of digestive problems and i think i would have had a reaction. I am posting a phot to show the green bits picked out. As it was Chinese New Year there were a lot of Chinese dining there i bet they didn't have green meet, also since Covid the prices of a lot of things have nearly doubled whilst the portions are smaller.

Always had a good service and food is always piping hot and delicious

awful food, the lady at the front was rude and disrespectful. all the jewlery she wears while giving me my food is not okay. leaving her vape sat on show when we come in the shop is not good
