Shanghai Grill

The quality of the sushi and Chinese dish was excellent. However, service was quite mediocre and the bathrooms were filthy.

Food was warm, at best. You could tell it had been sitting out too long and the drinks were watered down. Won’t be coming here again

Stopped in on a whim while in town a few weeks ago. Originally went up for Texas Roadhouse, but didn’t feel like waiting 50 minutes for a table for 2. Chang garden was a 35 minute wait, so we eventually found ourselves at Shanghai Grill. Glad we did! Food was very good with excellent flavor and our waiter was attentive. Drinks never got below half full. Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Will be back again soon!

Meh, had better. We arrived just after the lunch buffet ended on a Friday afternoon. Wanted some sushi but the sushi chef had just left so we got some lunch specials that were OK I guess.

There sweet and sour chicken lung menu was awesome. Even after I had to wait be use I couldn’t get on break. It was great.

Order the buffet on a sat afternoon. Small selection, no beef, no flavor, most of the food was picked over and not replenished quickly. The best part of my meal was the ice cream.
Great atmosphere but over all not recommended for the buffet at least. Maybe the menu is better.

I am staying at the Holiday Inn Express (very nice, clean hotel if anyone’s looking) up the street from this place and needed someplace new to try. There’s not a lot of restaurants close by, aside from Chang Garden which is across the street. Another guest and I were making small talk in the hotel lobby and she recommended Shanghai Grill, since I’ve already tried Chang Garden and loved it.
I honestly don’t know what all the positive reviewers see in this place? Their lo-​mein was probably some of the worst I’ve ever had and the service was inattentive and slow. I was here for lunch but did not have the buffet. I was however sitting close enough to see the lunch buffet and even that seemed to be lacking in variety and I barely saw them refill it. I didn’t try the sushi this trip, I was saving it for my next trip but I don’t think that there will be a next trip after this experience.

Went to Shanghai Grill for the buffet. $ 6.95 on a Sunday afternoon, the price wasn’t bad. Ambience is nice. There were plenty of parking and seating.
The food selection was limited. White rice, fried rice, tempura, California rolls, soups, Lo mien, a beef stir fry, two chicken stir fries, a salad bar, cold shrimp, and potato fries. There were only two different kind of cakes but 6 kinds of ice cream to choose from. Fruit selection was also limited.
The quality of food is superior than most Chinese buffets in the area. I took a star off because they don’t replace the food when it’s empty. But for the price, the cleanliness, and the attentive servers, I will return.

Decent Sushi for the middle of nowhere. Between here and Chang Garden, the sushi quality is about the same. The ambiance is nicer at Chang Garden.

Sushi and chinese food here, both were pretty good, but I feel like the main draw for people is the buffet which wasn’t set up at the time we dined here so I intend to go back some time to check it out. Our waiter was very nice.

I’m pretty sure that every time I’m about to review a buffet, I start by saying I don’t really care for buffets or something along those lines and it’s true, but I do seem to end up at them often. I’m really a secret buffet fan — fine.
This place is frickin’ spectacular. It is $ 6.95 for a truly glorious Chinese buffet. Stuff goes fast and is replaced fast — just how it should be. The lo mein, the crispy pork, the tempura, the garlic chicken and so much more was outstanding. The egg foo young wasn’t great and the tea smoked chicken was a bit dry. but even those lows of the offerings were still good. Instead of your typical vanilla, twist or chocolate soft serve — they have a chest of six Blue Bunny ice screams to scoop yourself! Whaaaaat?! Awesome, yeah? Except if you’re deathly allergic to pineapple as I am and you don’t want to take a chance and use the shared scoopers which all hang out together in a co-​mingled ice cream water bath…
Service was sweet, food was delicious, price was insanely good and it was clean as can be. We’ll be back many many times.

This is one of our favorite places, although the selection is a little smaller than some other buffets, it makes up for it in taste and quality. They change up the items on the buffet so you get to try things that you may not have tried before, I am now a huge fan of walnut shrimp! This is our go to place for a consistently good meal and for a family of three to eat lunch, with sushi, for under $ 20! Service is always friendly and attentive, the place is clean and the food is hot and tasty! Everything I am looking for in a good meal!

A mixed bag for me.
Based on several coworker’s recommendations, I tried out their honey chicken and bourbon chicken, and they were fantastic! I thought I had found my fav Chinese place in the nearby Wausau area.
Then I tried their combination lo mein, combination pad thai, sesame chicken, and orange chicken (not in the same sitting, and my stomach is still thanking me for that), all of them were disappointing. The combination lo mein was salty, had a greasy texture with very little meat (in comparison to other Chinese restaurants in the area). The Pad Thai noodles were cut up into 1″ pieces that made using chopsticks difficult, and the flavor was one dimension: sweet. The sesame chicken sauce was stale and unsweet. And the orange chicken had a very sour taste to it, with no sweetness that I typically expect.
May try their Japanese menu items next, but definitely sticking to the honey/​bourbon chicken and nothing else.

My family LOVES the Shanghai Grill!!! I’m not a sushi person myself (my husband is) He loves their sushi. I have tried their Laney Roll and it is honestly SUPER! I don’t eat sushi but I WILL eat their Laney Roll (smoked salmon, cream cheese, with some sorta wonderful sauce with a little kick on top. topped with some crab meat)
We usually go on Friday or Saturday night for dinner and its never FULLY packed…
Place is spotless clean!!! Staff is SUPER FRIENDLY and the food is just amazing. My family has yet to have a meal that I haven’t enjoyed there! Prices are GREAT. Me, My Husband & Step daughter all eat for under $ 50 (and that usually includes 3 trays of sushi & our entrée’s!!!) :)

After years of going for sushi at Chang garden my dad and I decided to try a new place for sushi. We were very pleased! Our next trips will be to Shanghai. Plus we were stuffed, and the bill was a good $ 25 less than we usually pay. Going to try the buffet sometime, it looked and smelled great! I’ve gone twice for regular dinner service and it was also good. But I’m excited for the next sushi trip!

Fantastic service and wonderful food. Best in town. We have gone there so many times and every time it has been Awesome.

My first experience here was the Mothers Day buffet and it rocked! All the food was hot, fresh and plentiful. I fell in love with the Walnut Shrimp. I also like the tempura veggies especially the mushrooms and broccoli. Our second visit was the lunch buffet and it was also good. I wish they had mei fun noodles and peanut butter chicken though. That would make it complete for me. Service was good on both visits and now I’m hungry for that shrimp dish I think that’s what I’m having for dinner tonight!!!
I had to change my rating. Hubs and I went for the lunch buffet and it was awful. There are better options for your cravings. Seek them out!

The people were nice and the girls were cute, but I’ve had better sushi at Dominick’s. I think a can of tuna would have been more fresh than the saba they served.

The more my wife and I go back the more we like the Shanghai Grill.
The gyoza are very good to excellent.
We have tried a variety of dishes including sushi and judge the quality to be consistently very good.
I think that their Kim Chi is very good — excellent.
Their Korean menu is limited.
We have always been happy with the service; the staff is friendly and fairly attentive.

This is a tough one, because Shanghai Grill is a much needed establishment on the corner of Schofield Ave. and Camp Phillips.
But, while the place is nice and the food is alright, the service can be downright bad. First the good… they have a nice selection of different types of Asian foods, Korean, sushi and Chinese, and generally they do it well. The Korean Barbecue is great… and was the sushi I had. The disappointment was the very inattentive, careless and inept concern for your customers. I don’t think every server at Shanghai Grill is the same way. because if it had been that way, I would have heard more complaints. Just be forewarned… otherwise you should like it. If you want to be sure that your dinner or lunch won’t be ruined, head up the street to Chang Garden Weston.
