Quick info
About Shanghai Chinese takeaway
On Chorley Old Rd in Bolton, Shanghai Chinese takeaway serves the neighborhood on a walk-in, counter-order basis with no card payment option, so customers bring cash. Regular sweet and sour chicken comes with noodles and bean sprouts, and the menu also runs to chowmein, gravy-licious chicken starters, and rice or noodles with king prawns. Chippy-style meals are on offer too, with chips available as a side. Fridays tend to bring a busier stretch of orders. The full menu is listed on the business's website, and the shop stays open through bank holidays.

Customer Review Summary
Chips lead the praise, with reviewers calling them just like back in the day and describing chippy meals as decent portions. Close behind, diners name the chow mein and the gravylicious chicken starters, and one enjoyed rice and noodles with king prawns. Several call the food tasty and reasonably priced, and one reviewer who likes it hot says Shanghai delivers, ordering weekly. Service is described as friendly, polite and welcoming, one reviewer calls the place nice and clean, and one notes it gets busy on Fridays. One reviewer says the distance is worth the drive and hopes for delivery, while another says it is cash only. The main complaint comes from a single reviewer whose usual sweet and sour chicken with soft noodles and bean sprouts arrived as a box of bean sprouts with no noodles, and the chicken was mostly green peppers with about ten pieces of meat, even though the order had been read back before collection.

“My Dad ordererd and collected our Chinese this evening, however I Asked for a sweet and sour chicken with soft noodles and bean sprouts - just no onions - my usual order - but just got a box of bean sprouts instead of any noodles and charged the came price had to have a few of my Dad's left over chow mein noodles and even the portion of sweet and sour chicken mainly had green peppers only about 10 bits of chicken - very disappointed especially as my Dad said she read the order back to him before he left!?!”

“Go to place for us, mostly dinners, with regular orders, this place is a nice treat for a lazy weekend. Downside is they only accept cash so if you are not carrying you miss the treat. Nearby atm may come to rescue. Chowmein and gravylicious chicken starters are great..”
