New Shanghai Restaurant & Takeaway — Restaurant in Northern Territory

On a work trip here was told to try Regents. Unfortunately, they lost their roof in a storm so we tried here. I got the green curry chicken and rice takeaway. $12.90 with a drink for lunch. OK price wise but flavour was terrible. So bland, watery and absolutely no seasoning and was utterly terrible. Work colleague got beef and black bean and said it was good.

So I though maybe I got them on a bad Day and went back for dinner tonight. Female staff member was not very welcoming, I think it was because she was clearly sick and shouldn't have been at work in the current climate.

I ordered satay chicken, beef black bean and rice. Again utterly disappointing and I didn't finish it. It's bain Marie food at best. If they were anywhere other than Katherine they would be closed by now.

One thing is for sure, they will not dupe me out of money...

I use this laksa as a standard against all other laksa I have and the New Shanghai’s is always the best! It’s light, flavour country and certainly filling. Other dishes have generally been good to excellent and they tailor make a chow mein to our exact liking. Great service and family run business. There’s a reason I keep coming back over many years… they...

The taste of the food is great. The fried rice is nice. The food is not oily, too salty or too sweet. The chow mien is very unique and tastes great. The price is reasonable and the service is fast. It's a much better Chinese than the other one in town.

The place looks tired and they use carpet in the dining area, very unusual for a takeaway place.

During lunch, they have a great deal, medium size for $12 and big size for $14 plus free drink. Probably the most descent place to have lunch in town. They use a proper plate if you dine-in and the portion is huge. You can still do a la carte...
