Quick info
About Shanghai Takeaway
On Penn Rd in Aylesbury, Shanghai Takeaway is a Chinese takeaway serving the local area for collection. The kitchen prepares dishes in the familiar Chinese takeaway style, with orders placed on a walk-in basis rather than by reservation. It runs evenings only, and opens every day of the week except Tuesdays, when it stays closed. The straightforward counter setup keeps the focus on getting food out to customers picking up their orders rather than on seating or table service. Anyone dropping by should check the closed Tuesday before making the trip, since the schedule differs from a typical seven-day operation.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return again and again for food described as hot, tasty, and quickly delivered, with several calling it their only or go-to local Chinese. Portions come up as large and affordable, and one collection customer highlights fresh dishes with unusual options not often seen elsewhere, plus polite staff. Phone ordering also draws praise, with one caller describing a helpful, friendly response even when placing an order from an unusual roadside location. A recurring complaint centers on incorrect orders: one reviewer says missing or wrong items led to a dispute where they were accused of lying when they tried to resolve it, and another notes researching the shop beforehand and finding earlier reviews flagging the same incorrect order issue. Despite this, delivery speed and taste are consistently the draws that keep regulars ordering.
