shanghai shanghai in Carlisle

After having to wait a few minutes to get seated I thought that as it's so busy this place must be quite good... But, the woman a front end came and got us and instead of showing us to our seats showed us to the till where we were asked what we wanted to drink, no menu, no price list just "what do u want to drink" so after me and the Mrs requested a pint and a glass of wine we were immediately charged almost 30 quid then we were sat down, 2 rows of food, lunchtime menu, 1/3 of it was for kids, another 1/3 was over salted deep fried usual stuff like chips etc and the rest was bland salty rubbish, I can only think that the queue was people who have never been here before, I mean who would go back? Did I mention they give you One fork for your whole visit, I thought at first maybe they made you pay up front because some people eat and run, but after eating I think maybe people have refused to pay

Cheap, plentiful, popular. Maybe put price up slightly and greater choice . Would still go again. £12.95 all you can eat buffet. What's not to like

So many years on the street nothing change food quality average prwans never be out of shell with digest sistem and expensive drink too far I think. FOR TEN OR 11 & you could have nice burger in lodys

Good food and not expensive...children friendly. Clean inside and friendly staff, nice for a evening out.

Good food, clean, staff always helpful. Do not give 5 stars just because there was no prawns and sesame toasts 😜

Always really lovely selection of food and sweets. Food has always been hot, and staff polite and attentive. Really good value, always enjoy.

Loved this place drove from Whitehaven, just to try it date day with the wife, food is really nice although Luke warm maybe stronger heat lamps would be good, Defo go again

Perfect tasty oriental food for good price. £11,50 per person and you will get quality cooked meals. Meat is amazing with lot of different seasoning. Eat as much as you can. Nice people, good atmosphere.

This is a great place to eat, the all you can eat buffet had such a great selection, and at a great price as well. You really can't fault it. Staff are friendly as well. If you are in Carlisle and looking for a great place to eat and love Chinese food don't look any further. 👍👍👍👍

Very nice food, polite and helpful staff, but unlike us almost none of the customers followed the very clear request/instructions to wear masks while walking around the open food trays. Staff didn't enforce the rules but worried about abuse etc I guess.
