  Fun Night But Early

  Current

  I was invited by a friend to a birthday function held in one of the private rooms in Shanghai. Never been before I was surprised by the deceptive appearance of this rather nice little resturant.
  Just behind the aisles of bench seat left from the pie & mash days is a smallish restaurant which with a steady flow of customers.
  The private room was fun, with karaoke and service which was both friendly and professional. For the function I attended there was set menu's (choice of two) £15 a head, drinks extra obviously..The only downside (for me anyway) is that on a Saturday night it still closes at 11PM ...Much to early for me.

  Yummy Yum Char!

  Current

  Traditionally called Dim Sum in this country.. I am always one for a good yum char sunday afternoon to wash away the hangover from the night before.
  
  Sunday's at Shanghai is awesome. Its happy hour!! Dim Sum dishes are all £1.60-£1.80. Bargain.. It's a cute little place that used to be a pie n mash or butcher or something along those lines hence the tiled decor at the front.
  
  We were seated in the coldest room but managed to warm it up with lots of beers that our lazy susan had a great time spinning round to the 7 of us. The fancy pants waitor had a little bit of a bee in his pink bonnet but I thought he was rather funny. Service is a bit crap, but we aint in no mitchellin star place so you gotta roll with it..
  
  Everything from chicken feet to whole/half ducks, my favourite bbq pork bun its all good - Our bill was £20 each with loads of booze and I could hardly walk afterwards, there was no need to eat that much really but I can never help myself..

  Local Chinese restaurant with Karaoke rooms and Dim sum. Fast service. Cheap and cheerful. Has booths at the front that in the winter seem a bit cold and a more traditional feeling restaurant seating area in the back.

  A journey to Dalston, to the main road and down to a restaurant named Shanghai, is a chance to be treated to a mix of East London tradition and fine Old Shanghai cuisine.

  Traditionally an East End Eel, Pie and Mash shop, the front of the house still retains the original  decor of the Grade II listed building.  A unique combination of East meets West, the restaurant itself blends traditional London with traditional Chinese to match its fine and varied meals.

  The chefs have kept with the traditional Chinese cuisine, but have included a selection of modern dishes and taste combinations for the more adventurous customers.  It is in fact for the more adventurous patron that Shanghai is the most rewarding.  The wine list is also carefully planned and bottles have been chosen to complement each meal.

  Food is freshly prepared on the premises, with home-made sauces, ground spices and Shanghais own pastry.  Head chef Paul S Cheng creates between eight and twelve signature dishes each month - reacting to customer comments to create new and delicious dishes.
