Good tasting food and the service isn't bad either. The buffet food is fresh and hot.

Shanghai Buffet is one of the places I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a buffet with a great variety of food. The restaurant is clean, the staff is incredibly friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the food is good. They offer a wide selection of dishes, so there's something for everyone. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy a satisfying meal at a fair price. read more

The food was alright and no-frills since the buffet was nothing fancy. Unlike most Chinese buffets these days which have sushi, this buffet doesn't have sushi which is not necessarily a bad thing since sushi tends to be mediocre at most Chinese buffets. However, some of the food such as fried rice and lo mein could use a little more salt on it. But overall, the experience was not bad. read more

I met a group of 8 for lunch at Shang Hai. They seated us quickly at a round table which was great, because it makes it easier to converse with the entire group. Service was fantastic. The buffet was continually refreshed. Everything I tried was so good and fresh. Absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back. read more

Excellent selection with very good flavor. Fresh food is brought out by attentive staff every few minutes keeping the entire buffet full. Great table service and friendly staff. The host managed the dining room and kept people happy through a busy lunch hour. Clean fish tank with nice decor. Plenty of variety for every palate. The chicken wings are very well seasoned. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. read more

Apparently it's considered appropriate for the old woman to talk badly about you when you ask for an additional sauce cup for your dumpling sauce. the other cup was used for sweet and sour sauce. If you're that broke, charge for the additional cup instead of talking trash. read more

The table was empty but they said we had to wait for the check which was a waste of time the food was too salty if we ate too much food when we bought take out food they said we should take less i think they want to make a profit from the food while the price of a portion is 20 dollars if we want to eat well then find a better restaurant don't come here to eat read more

I've never left anything but happy after the buffet. They want more words than I currently have.

Best Chinese buffet in Wichita. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Definitely my favorite place!

The food was disappointing with no variety in the buffet. The floors were very dirty, and the service was poor.

I've eaten at many Chinese buffet restaurants. The food here on Christmas Day was tasteless and lackluster. There was one dish that was halfway prepared properly ..: the Moo Goo. One dish. A very busy spot on a holiday. Not much else open. The wait was handled with ease by asking folks to sign in. However, the set price for the holiday at $19.99 was unnecessary. Ambiance was not appealing. A shout out to Ling's in Texas, and someone let me know of another Wichita Chinese buffet to patronize. read more

The food was okay, some was a little cold. The dessert station could use some love. The fish tank was SO clean! Service was quick. Fortunate for the business owner, we arrived around 5:30p on a Friday and it was very busy!! Despite how busy it was everything was quick and efficient. read more

It's the classic buffet that you know and love! Every entree item is what you expect, tastes very standard, and has every staple you want to see. There's only two tables of food, so it's very regular Chinese buffet menu food. It all tastes great though! Only downside was the place gets a little cramped between tables- that is hard to change other than removing some tables. They provide gloves for you to handle the food - which I appreciate! read more

It's got all the food that I really like, like soup, ice cream, and French fries! I think my father likes it here.

Simply the best Chinese food in all of Wichita. Great pricing, great staff, owners are always welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend to anyone to come try. I'll be a repeat customer for as long as I'm in Wichita. read more

Great food, fresh. , appetizing. Always clean , nice place to go to for a relaxing g meal, The staff are always friendly and attentive.. Great service. I always recommend Shanghai! read more

Bought a to go box for dinner. When I was still selecting my items when I was suddenly violently grabbed by the buffet owner and told I couldn't add more. I could still fit more in my box but 2 crayfish out a half full hotel pan set him off. I've been here before but is the first time I was assaulted by the owner and I'm verry disappointed. I was willing to pay the overstuff fee but this is ridiculous. Wouldn't be surprised if they started to restrict the amount of food you get for dining in. read more

Best Asian buffet in town. Food is always fresh They don't have the selection of some other buffets but high volume and freshness more than make up for it. Stay in your lane and do it right every time read more

The food amazing! Calm and relaxing atmosphere. The staff keeps the buffet lines fresh and full, as well as drinks filled. Definitely a place I recommend. read more

We were pleasantly surprised with the food and service. I was a little worried about freshness going a little later in the day but they were very busy and the dishes were being filled and checked regularly. It's your standard mix of Chinese offerings with a salad bar and some American things added in. I tried a little bit of almost everything and was stuffed while my daughter stuck to her normal choices but also ended up stuffed. The decor is a little outdated and some of the tables are pretty close together but the friendly staff and good food make up for that. It was also clean so don't let appearances fool you. read more

The food is delicious hot and fresh. Friendly and clean environment. I could eat there everyday.

Food is over priced only items that seemed to be warm we're the chicken products all other items I had were cold...there were bugs on the wall. This was all within the last week or so we went. Two people is very expensive for Chinese food. read more

Food is good ~~ not great by Chinese standards ~~ but hot and plentiful. The owner/manager, on the other hand, is a real piece of work ~~ sullen, rude and quite unprofessional. Rest of the wait staff makes up for her shortcomings! read more

They have went down considerably their food used to be really good especially their buttered shrimp it was really good but it wasn't all that anymore it wasn't worth the price read more

Great food! Fast service and child friendly environment. Suggest it to all who come to Wichita

Walked in and was immediately greeted by a nice lady who walked us right over to our table. Everything was clean and sanitized. I looked over at the buffet and I could tell all the food was fresh!!!! She always has fresh food out here! And the owner walked around and was greeting people left and right! The number 1 buffet in Wichita!!!!! read more

Not much variety. I judge Chinese places by their egg rolls. These featured soggy cabbage and the roll was lacking flavor. I was hoping to see egg foo young, but it wasn't available on the buffet. Crawdad bain pan was empty the whole time I was there. General Tso chicken wasn't spicy at all. All waitresses were in BOH eating dinner at the same time. I had to go behind the partition to locate one so I could get a check and leave. While waiting, a small roach crawled across my table. I was happy to leave. read more

Shang Hai Restaurant - Updated price list - Chinese Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

We drove for miles to get to this place. Yelp said it was open every day. We got there and they were CLOSED. Tuesday at 6pm. We were sorely pissed We decided to give them another shot... early Sunday dinner. They were open this time and it was pretty darn good. My husband loved their selection of shrimp, and I enjoyed the cabbage with chicken the most. The service was very conscientious and friendly, as well. Feeling satisfied. I am updating my previous 1 star rating to 4 stars. Being closed before was probably due to Covid... stupid Covid... read more

Shang Hai Restaurant - a plate of chinese food - Chinese Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

Hidden in plain sight. I still can't believe how many times I've driven past this place over the years and thought that someday I'd try it and somehow kept waiting...well not another day. We finally found our way inside, and I was immediately taken back in time to memories of my childhood. Seriously, if you're into good old Chinese buffets that keep the buffet loaded with fresh food then this is gonna be one of your favorite places. They have all of the standard fare; my personal faves are the egg drop soup, egg rolls, lo mein, the chicken skewers, sweet-n-sour chicken and those little sugar donuts -- don't judge me and my carb loving taste buds. Did I mention that the prices are very reasonable especially considering the current rate of inflation? All-we-could-eat dinner for two with iced tea and a tip cost us less $50. Normally I'm "buffet hesitant", meaning I get nervous of food that might be hanging out for a while (thanks so much Gordon Ramsey "Kitchen Nightmares" / not to be confused with our former Police Chief). This place immediately calmed any of my fears when I noticed the steady movement of food. Really, it was exactly what you want to see when you visit a buffet. It was impressively clean, and the food was going so fast that they were refilling stations almost nonstop. I mean, you really don't see that kind of service anymore. The owners were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We're so happy to have Shanghai near us, and nearby to city center so we can easily invite others to join us. It's our new go-to for Chinese food. Oh and btw, I don't give a hoot about decor when it comes to eating at buffets, so the old Shoney's vibe I'm getting kinda reminds me of my childhood and my grandmother so I don't exactly hate it. ;) Now get on out to Shanghai and enjoy some delicious Chinese food (and an almond cookie), conveniently located in the parking lot of the old Wichita Mall #IYKYK read more
