Reviews for Shang Hai Restaurant in Sparks, NV
We loved this place. The hostess was super nice and always checked it on us, the food was soo good we finished.
We ordered the Szechuan Chicken combo dinner plate and the Sesame Chicken dinner combo. Both main entrees were very good but I... especially liked the Szechuan chicken. The rice that came with that was pretty much average. The meal also comes with choiceof egg drop and seet and sour soups. Neither is what we are used to, both were pretty flavorless and can definitely useimprovement. We also got an order of the street dumplings, they were very good but nothing to shout about. I live in theneighborhood and never went in to eat, it was so dark and gloomy. Looks like they somehow lightened it up so it's better. I'dalways just got their mo shu pork to go. It's the best around that I have found in Reno Sparks. I'm addicted to that dish butchallenged myself to something new. Service was outstanding. Went back again today. This time I got the MooShe Pork again. It was delicious (5) as usual. I also decided to try the Hong Kong Noodles for the first time ever. The meats and shrimp werecooked to perfection. The noodles however were as dry as can be and I got an inkling of the sauce I it was delicious. I decidedto put them in a bowl so I could add some water or sauce. After I removed the noodles I saw a red sauce I saw on the bottom. Ieagerly started to pour and scrap it from the bottom, sad but it was all soaked into the Styrofoam container. I wish they woulduse the old waxed paper containers of old. The Styrofoam always leaks anyway. Read more
Absolutely delicious! We had originally ordered a la carte, and was encouraged to get "all you can eat", as it would be more... cost effective, but already reasonably priced. Sushi long rolls made traditionally. Most certainly will be back! Read more
We dined there Saturday late afternoon. The food was extremely ???? good and fresh. It was not too busy yet, so the service was... quick. The hostess was very nice as well. We had Chinese food which was great; but, next time I will try the sushi and get pics. Read more
Our first time there and we'll definitely be going back! Big sushi menu and alot of options
The Hispanic waitress with blonde hair was super helpful and got our food out fast ! Overall she gave amazing service and... that’s one of the reasons we keep coming back , such a polite waitress. On the other hand the food could be better. Like thesesame chicken for example tastes so different from the old recipes, the food has gone down hill to be honest :( Read more
We hadn't been here in a while, so we thought we'd give it another try. There was no sushi, but we were there for Chinese food... anyway. The egg rolls were overpriced, but everything else was delicious and worth every penny. The service was good andfriendly. We'll be back! Hopefully they have sushi on the weekend soon. Read more
OK. I have seen many mixed reviews on this place. I wanted to try it for myself...So glad I did. As you can see I am giving 2... stars. 1 star because the beer was cold. 2nd star for fast friendly service... That is all the positives you will see from me. Iwanted Sushi. The Sushi was not available. We then ordered from the regular menu. There was 4 in our party. We had Crispy Duck,Chow Mein, Tso Chicken and Chicken Broccoli. The Duck was overcooked, dry, tasteless and tough. I know crispy duck is deep friedand can dry out fast. I have had it many times before from other establishments. This was the worst I have had. All of the otherentrees had no flavor, bland, stale two day old rice... Just overall BLAH... Later in the evening 2 out of 4 of us had stomachaches, gas and well, you know, up all night with all the issues that come with the nasty stuff that follows... I would notrecommend this diner to anyone. Glad I went in, my curiosity has been satisfied. Needless to say I will not return. Read more
