I looked this place up before we went, and their website, menu, and atmosphere are nice, but the food is exactly what you would expect from some hole-in-the-wall general "chinese" restaurant. I had the lamb in garlic sauce, but I never would have guessed thats what it was if I didn't order it myself, since it tasted just like the beef that my friend ordered. It was also supposed to be a spicy dish, but there seemed to be no spice whatsoever. Flavors were bland and thrown together in that overly saucy, cheap american/chinese food kind of way, the egg and shanghai rolls were pretty tastless. The soup was alright though, and our waiter and the owners at the door were really nice. Would not recommend if you are looking for something more authentic and flavorful. Look up Champas in Raleigh (even though its Thai and not Chinese), it's definitely better.
Pros: Nice atmosphere, good service
Cons: Food was disappointing

I have been dining at Shanghai since I was a small child and have never been disappointed. The Hot and Sour soup is the best you will find in Durham and all of the entrees are served hot, flavorful and authentic. Two can easily eat here for $25 and leave with left overs! How lucky we are to have this gem in Durham!
Pros: Hot & Sour Soup, Fresh, Flavorful
