Food was lukewarm and some of the sauces a little gloopy.Although I can't 100% pin it down to the food, I did have an upset stomach (that's the polite term) the next day.

Great Chinese all you can eat buffet.Will definitely return. Only fault I found was the ice cream wasn't very nice which was a shame after eating a lovely meal before hand.

Large open buffet area with plenty to choose from. Quality good generally and prices good (£13.50 in evening, all you can eat, 2023). Parking expensive in area unless you can get side street space after 6pm.

Excellent buffet, friendly welcome, and a good selection of foods. Children enjoyed themselves.

First time we've visited Carlisle and stayed at a hotel literally next door to this restaurant. We arrived at our hotel just before 7pm, dumped our luggage and went for a walk to see where and what we could eat as both my husband and I were starving. As we passed we looked in the window and it seemed busy enough and the prices in the window for a Friday night was £15.99 per person. It was 8pm we went in, they quickly served us, explaining we have to order our drinks at the bar before being shown to our seat, at the bar they charged us for our meals and drinks, before we sat down. A few minutes later a server comes to our table with our drinks, a cutlery set of a fork, knife and pudding spoon, (no soup spoon, but maybe they had spoons beside the soup), we certainly never saw any. Oh and two napkins. Head to the salad bar, this has to be the poorest salad bar I've ever seen, consisted of salad vegetables,sweetcorn, peppers, onions, tomatoes , jalapenos and I'm guessing what was potato salad and coleslaw, something that looked like vegetable sushi, there was no meat, cheese or egg etc. Most of the food was lukewarm, and not much left in the containers. Very limited choice, and as most of the food looked like it had been been sat for sometime, some of the dishes were floating in grease,. So sorry but no way could I eat that. When we were at the buffet we did see a sigh up telling people use the same cutlery throughout their meal but to change plates. After my boring salad I fancied my main course which was thai curry and boiled rice, they seemed to have run out of prawn crackers, this was at 8.15pm, so I asked the young server for more, only to be told "the kitchen is shut". Not wanting to cause a scene, I ate my curry, which was really tasty but would have tasted better had it been slightly more warmer. Now to my husband, all he could eat was chicken, I don't think he has eaten as much chicken in his life, (this was because most of the dishes had seafood, which Incidently I happen to enjoy. We ate up, went to leave and not a single person asked,did we enjoy our meal or said goodbye to us as we were leaving. A lot of money for lukewarm, greasy food that looks like it's been lying out for a good while in my option. To allow guests in at 8pm, when they were clearly, running their food down and not topping it up, or like us, could not get prawn crackers with their curry. Surely this should have been explained to us at the door. Yes the servers cleared our plates and not once did they ask if we were enjoying our meal, plus as I've already mentioned as we left not one person said goodbye, in particular the bar staff facing the exit door. Well really, why should they, they already had our money! Like I said, I will never return to this restaurant untill things vastly improve. All easy fixes as well, I hope the owners take heed and try to sort these issues out

After hearing great things about this restaurant I have to say I was seriously disappointed. The soups and sauces were tasteless and very thin and thickened with cornflour. The prawn crackers were stale, the rice was one big blob the noodles were also glued together. The chicken curry was tasteless, the sweet and sour was neither. The lemon chicken was absolutely disgusting. So food was lousy. The staff were polite and friendly the restaurant was clean as were the toilets. Won?t be going back.

Shanghai Shanghai has loads of food to offer, from spring rolls, chow mein to chicken curries.Food is good and totally worth it for the price.Wheelchair accessibility: It's just a big restaurant in the ground floor.

We drove 20 miles to come here having checked their opening hours on google and on the website. We drove into town, paid to park and walked over for 20:00. We were met by the head waiter who told us that they now closed at 20:30 and stopped cooking at 20:00: so we could pay £15 for leftovers, but only had half an hour to do so. I asked where their new opening hours were advertised as the board outside advertises to 21:30 still. On the door, below all the information is a printed piece of paper with the new hours. Around knee height. It?s fine to change your hours. But at least be up front about it and change what your information says. Pretty poor to be honest.

Only welcoming person here was the guy who took the money . All the other staff looked totally miserable no smile from anyone. Food was over cooked and tasteless. Also people eating there were a lot to be desired as i witnessed food being put back in server and hands being used instead of tongs . Will not be back

Food was average nothing special, was clean and warm environment, staff seemed very distracted and not really interested in what customers had to say, we paid and my son wanted to take the little he had on his plate home and they refused to let him even though it wasn't much and we had paid for it.
