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.

“When I researched before I ordered, first few reviews where bad due to incorrect order. I have ordered many times from a Asian restaurant and gave out the number rather than the name of the dish. The person requested name only not number. Gave my order and paid but he had to recheck my bank card number. Finally received my order and it was incorrect. I ordered x1 chicken chow mien and one hot and spicy prawn chow mein. I called them back up, sam person, who said he only heard me say chicken chow mein. I know what I ordered. He said 50p more!!!! Dont touch the second portion as I want it back. I was concerned then!! I didn't pay 50p and gave the extra back but took a recording as the food left my home. Any issues after the container left, is a HSE issue which i did raise! I was advised it was not going to be re-gifted lol Ppls please be aware. Restaurants like this should not be allowed to operate. I only ordered as got the leaflet for the first time through my door. Did Google thought 4.3 rating why not!! Not longer the case!! A treat to have a takeaway but not at the expense of someone stating they misheard but could misheard my card details but want confirmation of that rather than my food order!!! Mmmmmmmmm.....”

Customer Review Summary
The complaints centre on order accuracy and how problems were handled. One reviewer says a chicken chow mein and a hot and spicy prawn chow mein order arrived wrong, and the person on the phone said he only heard the chicken one and asked for 50p more. That reviewer also describes being asked to recheck card details. Another says incorrect items arrived, they were told they were lying, and the bag was checked rather than the mistake put right, which the reviewer called terrible customer service.
