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
Chowmein and the gravylicious chicken starters draw repeat praise, with reviewers also naming rice and noodles with king prawns and chips compared to "back in the day" as regulars. Most describe the food as tasty and reasonably priced, with friendly, welcoming order-taking and polite service, and several call it their new favorite or say they order weekly. One reviewer, though, describes a collection order that arrived wrong, a box of bean sprouts instead of soft noodles and a sweet and sour chicken portion mostly green peppers with barely any chicken, charged at full price despite the order being read back correctly. A couple of diners note it gets busy on Fridays, and one wishes delivery were offered since the distance from home makes the trip a consideration. Overall the recurring thread is consistently good food and service, set against that one detailed account of a mixed-up order.

“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..”
