Customer Review Summary
Duck draws the most mentions, with the crispy aromatic duck shredded for rolling pancakes and the orange duck both praised. Close behind are the sweet and sour chicken balls, crispy seaweed, salt and chilli squid and special chow mein, with reviewers describing good portions and food that arrives hot and not heavy. Delivery is repeatedly called quick, and one notes ordering directly is cheaper than the apps. Long-time customers describe friendly staff who remember orders and accept slight menu tweaks, and one diner found the allergen menu easy to interpret. The complaints concern money. One regular reports a delivery total higher than the phone quote, with the shop replying "you ordered" and "pay or no get", and another found the sauce with ten chicken balls far too little for a pricey order. Against that, one reviewer says staff fixed small problems without complaint, and a counter worker took an order after closing time.

“Have bought from here at least once a month for a number of years now and it never disappoints me. Lovely food and the staff are always friendly and welcoming would 100% recommend it”

“Delicious food and super speedy delivery, much cheaper to order directly with the restaurant than on the apps.”

“Shanghai Garden has been serving the locality with delicious and nutritious food for at least the five years I have been returning to Brislington as a temporary resident. To say that the menu is extensive would underrate it. A selection of cold drinks and deserts means it is an ideal choice for any kind of dining. The crispy aromatic duck is well worth splashing out on. Shredded perfectly every time it's an ideal opportunity for the family to roll their own pancakes. More conventional? Try the sweet and sour chicken balls. Adventurous? The crispy seaweed. From the star-ratings this business seems to be going up in locals' estimation, and has a perfect score for hygiene.”

“We’ve ordered from Shanghai Garden for over 10 years and have always had good experiences, so this was really disappointing. We placed a delivery order and were given a price on the phone. When the driver arrived the total was nearly £10 more. My husband had repeated the order back clearly during the call and we definitely did not order two chow meins. When we questioned it while the driver was here, the response we got from the shop was simply “YOU ORDERED” followed by “pay or no get.” There was no attempt to check the order or resolve the issue. After being regular customers for so long and usually ordering the same meals, this was very frustrating. Sadly the service seems to have gone downhill. Please double-check your order and the price before accepting delivery.”
