Shanghai Fast Food: Reviews & Ratings
Thee BEST food in the world! The quantity is just as great as the quality, they load your tray up and leave no room! My wife and I moved 1,200 miles back to Cali for this place to be honest. You have to try this place
Very good food! Would not eat at the restaurant it is very warm in there. Restroom was nice and big. Only one though. Need a key. Quick and decently priced.
The owners are very nice. Their food is always good. You can't beat the price! I eat here 4 to 5 days a week. They have a great selection and you are in and out fast. I don't usually do Chinese buffet-style places but this is a great one. The house chicken is one of my favorite.
You may have passed by this very humble, tiny hole in the wall spot off Riverside Dr in the 4 corners area of Lake Elsinore. The place is high key busy w lots of traffic coming through. It is your typical no frills Chinese fast food where you pick your sides and entrees. Everything here is priced low. So why did I drive all the way over here from Temecula area on a busy Friday rush hour traffic? Simple. Chow mein & chicken wings!!! Though the noodles are the typical yellow noodles you find at fast food Chinese joints, I looooove that theirs has a hint if the white pepper taste and also has that wok fried, fire seared taste. They have spicy chicken wings in weet spicy sauce but I ordered it dry WITHOUT the sauce and had them add jalapeños with it. We waited 20 minutes for the fresh made wings (esp bc they were busy) but it's ok it was worth the wait!! This was a craving I had to satisfy since I thought about the chicken wings and chow mein all day long.
This is our to go place for fast Chinese food. The food is really good, very flavorful and not expensive at all. The staff is always very nice and quick on serving you. The ambiance could be better, we always order to go and rarely see people dining in the building; most order to go. I definitely recommend this restaurant, it is about 30 minutes from my home but I definitely don't mind driving there and back for good food. I recommend this restaurant!
