Old Shanghai Restaurant

Restaurant Chinese restaurant Shanghainese restaurant

🫤 I am chinese and no doubt the food was great, especially in an eastern european country!!but customer service was really bad especially coming from the guy waiter. #/code of the order doesnt coincide with dish that was being served. What we ordered, something else was being served. We ordered soup,... People often mention good, Chinese, soup, restaurant, served, great, waiter, order, ordered, spicy,

    Close to city center and a pleasure to eat here. We first had some soups to go, the spicy one and corn soup. Very tasty and large portions. Then we went there for dinner and tried several dishes, I enjoyed most the spicy beef, noodles with vegetables and the fried dumplings. The beef soup had no taste and it was quite watery. Don't know if it's supposed to be like this. Nice staff and decent waiting time. The only minus is the bathroom in the restaurant, poorly cleaned.

    We enjoyed the food here. For the price range, I think it's really good Chinese you can get in Eastern Europe. The translation on the English menu was a bit hard to understand but regardless, we got what we expected and it was great. If you are in Brasov and want to try something other than pizza, burger or Romanian food, I think this place would be a great option. The interior was nice. We went on a Tuesday evening and it was not too busy so we didn't wait long for the food. #Chinesefood #Asian #Brasov

    Exquisit Asian restaurant in the old part of downtown Brasov. The place looks nice, it's clean, well decorated. The menu is variated, but it has the same dishes that you'll find in any other asian/chinese restaurants, adapted for the Europeans. 😉 I only tried sweet'n sour chicken with rice and vegetables. It was good. Overall, it's a good place to get out and eat with friends, even you won't find a round table to share the food. :)

    I am chinese and no doubt the food was great, especially in an eastern european country!!but customer service was really bad especially coming from the guy waiter. #/code of the order doesnt coincide with dish that was being served. What we ordered, something else was being served. We ordered soup, brocolli and it never came, something else came.🤦‍♀️ Wanted to checked bill but got shown displeasure by the guy waiter. And he was taking someone else order first when we arrived first. Therefore i would rate on the service. Would i come here again, i dont think so...

    Familiar Chinese restaurant menu well executed. Service was good and portions reasonable. Decor is tasteful and gives a pleasant atmosphere. Dessert offerings were a little more interesting than usual. We had a variety of chicken, duck, shrimp, etc. Dishes and enjoyed them all.

    Delicious food, authentic flavours, Highly recommend. Quality is consistent! The spring rolls were crispy even after delivery! Amazing! The sweet and sour sauce was a bit too runny but the flavour was right. The chicken was amazing as were the noodles and the soup! Food was prepared very quickly. And the lady who served me, Oana, was very helpful and provided fantastic customer service! She was great to deal with.

    The best chinese food restaurant in Brasov at affordable prices. The rice noodles with seafood exceed my expectations. Thank you! 🙏 Later edit (02.12.2023): Be careful, the waiter is including the tip (10% of the final cost) in the final check without asking your permission! Please all the time request and check the receipt!

    the food awful. i ordered beef soup but it was just a melted aspic..my friend ordered FRIED dumplings, but they came to us cold and not fried at all. the service is awful too, we asked to separate our orders and they said no. the door in one of the restrooms isnt closing. the atmosphere is very poor too.

    Great Chinese food, probably the best in town! They have good prices and an optimum location, also the staff is helpful and super friendly. I've had sweet sour soup which was tasty and spicy, just how I like it, the spicy noodles were good, but I prefer them spicier and the caramel mix dessert was exactly what I needed to end my dinner on a high note. I totally recommend this place!

    Some reviews we read before going there were complaining about the slow service. Nothing like that for us. The food was delivered promptly. We had several dishes, Gambian 🐸 legs, Gambian 🦐, Gambian chicken, sweet and sour 🍲. Most of the dishes are heavily using MSG, like many Chinese restaurants (in Asia). So the taste is good, the frogs legs and 🦐 were nice. The soup wasn't too tasty, but overall a good experience. Ambiance is a bit sad, and prices are more or less on par with Europe (220 lei for 2 people, 4 dishes and a beer).

    The food and services are excellent, this is one of the best Chinese restaurants we have ever had for our traveling. It is authentic, Excellent flavours, perfect consistency, and the authentic aromatic flavor. We ordered two soups (egg tomato and seaweed egg), Eggplant, wood ear and hot pot beef, they are all delicious. The waitress is very professional and serves very well. Will strongly recommend anyone who visits Brasov.

    I’m Chinese and I’ve been travelling around Europe for half a year. I can confidently say I haven’t had Chinese food as good and as authentic as I’ve had it here. Excellent flavours, perfect consistency, and the authentic aromatic flavour of “wok hei” (which is almost impossible to find when eating Chinese food around Europe).

    From time to time I enjoy eating at this restaurant . The food is different from what we are used with but it is good and spice

  • 4/5 Ramani D. 3 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    A good Chinese restaurant in the old town of Brasov. The food is great especially the Kung Pao Duck and the Wood ear mushroom salad which is super garlicky and can be eaten either warm or cold. The sour and spicy soup is good too although can be a bit more spicy for people not used to spice but it is good with rice. They seem to have good desserts too. A tip: Be clear when you order because the waiter got confused with our order since we had asked for too many things.

    Excellent ambience, Good food with good portions of servings and not too expensive. Totally worth the money you pay. Menu open for communication as per your liking of spice. Overall very good experience.

    Nice location and good food (except fried icecream). Staff ok. No soap, toilet paper or towels in the toilet (after telling them, they brought only towels). The white wine was served warm.

    Good food, but pretty slow service. But in the end it’s worth it.

    A nice looking restaurant in the centre of the city. The food tasted great and was served fast. We had to wait quite long for our drinks, but it didn't annoy me since there was only one staff member doing all the orders. He was doing his absolute best.

  • 4/5 Mi K. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is absolutely fantastic, the waitresses are kind and always smile but a little bit clumsy, what made me not give this restaurant 5 stars is the fact that if you don't particularly come in a big group or don't look a bit more wealthy you will be served later than others and will mostly have to wait a lot , In my case it was that way , we did not sped much money because we didn't know if the food would be to our taste. But if you have time and are willing to taste some great food , this is the place .

    I was One of only three tables in there and I was given a menu but then I had to go look for someone to order from. Maybe the rest of the menu is good but all I ordered was curry soup and I couldn't even smell or taste curry. I had to get up and translate to the waiter twice to add more flavor and he was argumentative.

    I wanted to write because I love the restaurant back in July and August 🥰 I was here often. But sadly, I went again now and it was weird?? I Asked if there was an available place and waiter said yes. We asked if it was ok to sit, there were many table reservations. Waiter says yes and we sit. All ok but then 2 tables of 8- 10 people come in…and we wait 1.5h for order of 3 medium size dishes. All big groups were served before us and 2 tables who sat 15 min after us were served. The other small groups ordered like we did. Why did we get served last? We had to leave for work and took food to go. The order was not correct. I am very understanding but it seems that there is a miscommunication. Food is so good and I want to go back but maybe in a while.
