We are REAL FOODIES and the Shanghai is our favourite restaurant ANYWHERE here and overseas. We have been dining there regularly for almost 40 years and still love it. The food is exquisite and not expensive. We have also celebrated several birthdays there with friends at one of their big tables. The Shanghai was recommended to us by our NZ/Chinese friend...and every time we go the majority of customers are Chinese. ( A good recommendation!)

Best food , been there three times this week and don’t be afraid if quiet or busy as food will be perfect every time without fail. The service was excellent and made me very welcome , great value and so much better than Majestic in Courtenay place . This area of Wellies is struggling so get in and support this restaurant, This owner bought in 2008 and deserves to survive So I’ll be back as much as I can as just BRILLIANT ALSO warm as last night went to Great India and was great but I was cold as no heating on at all Shanghai toasty warm and also bathroom clean as well 10/10 AAAAAAAA++++++

Had a fabulous meal here including divine crayfish and steamed cod. Orange beef also excellent. Food a little slow to come out though. If you want top notch Cantonese style food this is a great restaurant. Surroundings are plain but the food is not! Went twice in one week when visiting Wellington. Ask if they have any specials on.

This restaurant is a gem! The food is delicious, portions are very generous and price is reasonable. The waitress was very kind and attentive. The atmosphere is very warm and relaxing. I will definitely be back!

Great food meals came out really slowly and some of us had nearly finished before the last person was served. There was only four of us. Would definitely eat there again. Toilets were the cleanest, not only for a Chinese restaurant but for most. Wow.
