Shanghai House Restaurant — Restaurant in Southaven

I keep giving this place a chance because it’s convenient and I want to support local, but I’m writing this review to remind myself why I should never go here again. The owners are unfriendly, which whatever, but coupled with the food and lack of care I perceive I don’t understand how they have repeat business. I want them to succeed and I want them to do better . But, I gave it a year before I ate here again because the last time it was dry, and not flavorful. Today, the flavor was better and the rice seemed fresh BUT the hot and sour soup was literally like jello that needed about 20 more minutes before firming up. The veggie lo mein was so soft and mushy and barely had veggies in it. The hunan chicken had a noticeable gritty consistency like the flour or cornstarch wasn’t completely cooked through , and tasted like it too. It’s going in the trash and that it is so frustrating and wasteful. And yes, I know I should be grateful I have the means to pay and afford food, but I’m not a wasteful person. This is the last time - I hope future me reads this and...

Edit: My order today was for their Lo Mein and Beef Egg Fu Young. I was told no Egg Fu Young after 4:30.... that makes no sense...

First Review: Just tried it for the first time by myself at lunch time, two days ago. I had their beef lo mein. It was delish! Decided to have it as a family again next night. I had the beef lo mein again and I also had their beef egg fu young. So good! I literally put the egg fu young on top of my lo mein to eat it YUM! One complaint we had was the sweet and sour chicken. The pieces were cut into more like strips than bites and the sauce isn't what we are used to. Not bad but not really great either. Our other complaint was that they were super busy and the cheese wontons we ordered were way over cooked. Just going to chalk that up to being busy and understaffed and hope they are better next time. Reasonably priced. Will be ordering...

It's been a while since I have been here. It's been about over a year. I was in the area and decided to grab lunch. As usual, the food was good. Now, I always order the same thing from here which is orange chicken, white rice, and an egg roll. After eating my food, it made me remember how much I missed ordering from here. Order was about $13 and some change which is reasonably priced to me for the amount of food that they give in my opinion. I already ate the eggroll, so it's not included in the picture, lol.

Note: They are not the friendliest at answering the phone and taking orders, but they have always gotten my order right. It has always been fresh and hot.

Also, they close during various times throughout the year for vacation, so call before you drive out to make sure that they are...
