Shang Hai

Enjoyed the buffet last night and it surprisingly was better than expected.
Selection was good, food was hot and the service attendant was excellent.
Would return.

Brilliantly crafted atmosphere and food that is usually reserved for royalty. The buffet is exquisite and full of many different choices. When you get food from Shanghai you know you are getting a quality meal.

Great buffet for the price. Food is very good, and there are many choices. Definitely better than Hong Kong buffet. Can’t go wrong here. Very deserving of 5 stars.

Good food and nice people. Good location do and fairly cheap. Good spot to get some good Chinese food

I don’t know how a pretty good Americanized Chinese buffet complete with soups, good California rolls, fresh steamed custard buns, shumai, steamed shrimp dumplings, and duck sauce squirt bottles on every table, for $ 8.25, in Laconia, is deserving of anything less than 5 stars.

I have two words for you… Crab Rangoons.
I have one more word for you… Buffet.
Seriously, folks, this place knocks it out of the park as far as chinese food goes. It’s almost as delicious as the Green Ginger in Tilton and that’s saying something!

Had to give it a star. I ordered pan fried noodles with veggies and received chow mein. I know it was chow mein because I have had chow mein before. Also, someone wrote chow mein on the top of the container so… Pretty obvious. I called (we had it delivered) and the woman was condescending and rude. Told me I was wrong. Laughed at me. So rude!!! Anyhow, delivery arrived freezing cold. Paid $ 40 for a pupu for 2 and crappy chow mein we didn’t eat. Rude service, cold delivery, wrong product, prices way too high for this garbage! I’m not going back and if encourage everyone I know to avoid as well! Go to Taipei Osaka down the road. Food is great, delivery is hot, prices reasonable and the service is what you’d expect as a paying customer!

Shang Hai (former Weeks Restaurant) is a casual Chinese restaurant and lounge, which serves up the standard Chinese menu at moderate prices, most items $ 7.55-$ 16.95. 22 Luncheon Specials ($ 6.55-$ 7.95) and Dinner Specials ($ 9.55-$ 10.95) are offered. They also feature a 50 item All You Can Eat Buffet (Lunch — $ 7.25 and Dinner $ 11.55).
After a day in the Lakes Region, I stopped at Shang Hai for dinner since I was hungry and wanted some Chinese food before the drive back home. I decided to eat in and was seated promptly and given hot tea and ice water. I immediately went for the Dinner Buffet.
The selection of buffet food was pretty good (over 50 items), though not as extensive as New Hong Kong Buffet in Belmont. Some of the hot items included egg rolls, spring rolls, fried rice, lo mein, chow mei fun, Gen Gau’s chicken, pepper steak, shrimp & mixed vegetables, Kung Pao chicken, steamed mussels, snow crab legs, mac & cheese, Chinese donuts, fried dumplings, dim sum, crab rangoons, soups, and more. Cold items included salads, sushi, shrimp cocktail, mac salad, potato salad, fruit, jello, puddings, choc cake, mini cakes/​brownies, palmiers, vanilla/​strawberry trifle, soft serve ice cream, and more.
Some of the food on the buffet was actually pretty good including the dim sum (pork), mussels, chow mei fun, and fried dumplings. The steamed custard dumplings were okay, which had minimal sweet filling. The peel & eat shrimp were deveined & cleaned with tails left on. Some items were not very hot and on the dry side including the mac & cheese (orange boxed kind) and the initial batch of fried rice. The wontons were very soft and mushy, sitting in the hot broth too long.
When a group of college aged kids showed up here for the buffet, I was relieved to see them since several of the items on the buffet began to be replenished with fresh food by the staff. The new batch of fried rice and lo mein noodles was pretty decent.
Overall, I had a filling dinner at a fair price and the service was good and friendly. I was given a cracker and small fork for the crab legs which definitely helped since the crab legs were thin and not very meaty.

Awesome buffet. Attentive staff and great value. Unexpected treasure here.

food is gross! but the drinks are awesome!!!

We ate here tonight and half of us were completely disappointed. The other half had alcohol. So I guess, if you’re going to eat here, have some of the mixed drinks and you’ll be thoroughly satisfied and happy.
For the rest of you: we went around 5:30 or 6:00 on a Saturday night and had the buffet. Most of the food was cold (not even warm). Several items such as the meatballs and spare ribs were sitting in water and had no flavor. The general gao’s chicken was soggy… The shoumai and dumplings had good filling but were soggy.
Some of the chicken was still raw.
I won’t be back.

I went for the lunch buffet. The people are very nice but the food was awful. I ate it because I was starving but, when I tried their hot tea, I asked for the check. It was very disappointing.

As a vegetarian, I am not usually a big fan of Chinese food. I generally prefer Thai or Vietnamese. This however is my favorite Chinese restaurant because they serve vegetarian General Tsao’s «chicken». It is fantastic. Even some of my meat eater friends like it. We try to go once a month.
They also have a buffet that is very popular.
