Shanghai Gardens - Spalding

What was supposed to be a simple family dinner caused the end of my marriage. The waiter was great though.

Would not recommend! I went here with my two kids. It was my eldest's birthday and he was left extremely disappointed by the meal. The prawn crackers were less than adequate, the vegetables were sloppy and my energy drink was lukewarm. I heard staff members squabbling about packaging in the kitchen which resulted in my son bursting into tears and not wanting to stay for dessert. The waiter was lovely. The water wasn't. Think I could do better if I went to Shanghai itself and ordered something for a tenth of the price from a local market.

First of all, I ordered a takeaway through the holbeach branch at 6 o’clock, which was then transferred to the Spalding branch without any communication to myself. After ringing the original branch at 7:15 to find out where my order was, only then was I informed about the change. I then rang the Spalding branch to be told after 10 minutes on the phone that it is currently being made and will arrive in 30 minutes when in fact, you could hear the chef in the background say to the person on the phone that they didn’t even have the order! After 45 minutes we then rang again only to be told that it would be another half an hour! At 8:30 the food then arrived. I am really disappointed with this and there nothing was offered to rectify or apologise. Because of that I definitely will not be ordering from here again and would urge anyone else to find elsewhere. Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20

Was a lovely evening but due to being short staffed we did have to wait a while for our food. However it was definitely worth waiting for and we had a lovely evening. I would of given 5 stars if we didn't have to wait so long. Lovely restaurant and lovely staff also beautiful food. We will definitely go again.
