Customer Feedback

Customers have shared their positive experiences at Shanghai River:

  • "Great Chinese food at a very competitive price. The lunch soup to go was huge! Easily twice what I am used to. The egg roll was a very standard veggie one with nothing to complain or rave about. The sesame chicken was also quite good with nice big pieces of white meat Chicken. Fried rice was pretty standard, but a good accompaniment. If I am looking for some simple Chinese food and in the area, I would stop by again."

This is good Chinese food. The environment is great and the people are so nice. I thought the prices were a little high. We had fried rice, orange pork and sweet & sour chicken. Food came out fast. I was surprised, for dinner there were no egg rolls included or a cup of soup. That would be a nice addition.

We were in town looking at a car and stumbled upon this place for dinner. Could not have been happier, reviews can be misleading but these were anything but. The food and service were amazing!!! We live in Montgomery and will gladly make the drive back in a heart beat.

This place was fantastic! Very nice decor and the staff were super friendly and attentive. The food was hot, plentiful, and in line with the price. I particularly liked the hot and sour soup and the Kung Pao (pictured) was savory. I couldn't figure out why the crowd was so sparse on a Sunday for lunch, but we enjoyed it.

My husband and I ate here a few months ago. I got so sick right after I ate our meal. I used to love this place. I am not sure if it was the scallops or what but I had extreme stomach discomfort. Then my husband felt it later on in the evening. I will never eat at this place. It was the second time this happened. Never again.
