Shanghai Bay

Authentic Chinese restaurant. Great food, good value for money. As they are very busy quite often they do not take me when I go by myself, but only with minimum a friend. It is a pity as usually in China and other East Asian countries you can share the table with strangers. 这家餐厅很好吃和地道！

A popular place to eat but a little hidden, you could easily walk past it. Just on the high street of Southampton, next to West Quay and other shops including Primark opposite. Always get great service here and delicious food. Variety of options to choose from a table with a turntable in the middle makes it easier for a large group.

I have been searching for an authentic Chinese dining experience but it always fell short. Shanghai bay offers premium quality food at reasonable prices in what feels like a traditional setting for this food. The portion sizes are gargantuan and the variety of foods they have is equally as big. There will most definitely be something you'll like on the menu. The staff are some of the best serving staff I've encountered in any restaurant setting, constantly making jokes and keeping it light for everyone to enjoy the food. I recommend this as the best Chinese food place in Southampton and I challenge you to tell me otherwise.

First time at this place in Southampton. Above some shops on the high street. Very good dim sum and the atmosphere is very like some places in Hong Kong. Will come back next time I am in Southampton.

I found the food affordable and pretty delicious. I liked the variety they had as well. The durian puffs were pretty good, but too much fried items made me feel bloated. The shrimp dumplings were filled with 2 shrimps, and that was pleasant. There is a 10% VAT charge as well. I had 11 dishes, and my yotal bill was just under 70 £.
