About My Shanghai Bar & Oriental Buffet
At The Cannon Inn in North Shields, My Shanghai Bar & Oriental Buffet serves a Chinese buffet on a walk-in basis, with no reservations needed. The grand buffet adds teppanyaki alongside the standard spread, and dishes such as duck, mussels and hot and sour soup round out a menu of sixteen items. A bar pours beer, wine, spirits, rose wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee to go with the meal. Table service brings dishes to diners throughout the visit rather than leaving the counter self-serve. The restaurant opens daily, giving a consistent option whatever the day of the week.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise food that keeps coming out fresh and hot, with plenty of choice. Servers are described as nice and attentive, and the room as clean and air conditioned. The caveats are specific: one diner found the chicken rock solid or chewy with almost no desserts, and another heard the noodles were oily. Drinkers call the beer selection thin, though Guinness gets a nod.

“What I ate was very good. I was told the noodles were very oily! Disappointed at beer selection or lack of. Several cheap lagers. Cans of John Smiths (one of the worst drinks ever) Guinness is good though. A few good wines, spirits and soft drinks on offer.”
- Kim Lamb
“Met my expectations! Lots of choice, quality food all at a reasonable £12! Will definitely return. Lovely and clean, comfortable fully air conditioned environment. Great selection of drinks from the bar, plus soft drinks and the usual selection of tea and coffee.”

“The food Wasnt fresh, most of the chicken was either rock solid or chewy. Not alot to selection out of main meals, and basically no desserts. Servers were very nice and polite. I was here acouple years ago and it was better. I wouldnt recommend, and wont be back.”
- Amy
“My partner & Icame in today with my parents for the first time. It was for my birthday & we had a fantastic time. The young lady that was serving us was fantastic. The food was absolutely incredible, constantly coming out fresh, hot & full of flavour. There are plenty of options to try. The only downside is the drinks are quite pricey but it's understandable. However with the price of the food & the standard I can't mark the place down for the drinks at all. I highly recommend this place.”
