Stopped by here on Saturday. I had the Katsu Chicken, and my girlfriend went for the Fried Chicken Noodles, both cooked fresh to order in front of us and were SUPER tasty. Excellent value too, the large portion was generous, it seriously hit the spot, worth every penny! The stall owners were great - very friendly people. We’ll 100% be back next time we’re in the city to try more from their menu. If you’re around Norwich Market, please do yourself a favour and stop by, highly recommend!

Had a large crispy chilli chicken with noodles for £7 if I remember correctly and to say the least the food tastes so good. Definitely worth trying this place out if you’re out and about in the city centre during the day and want something that warm that will fill you up at lunch time (albeit be prepared for a long queue)

Came here for the first time on Saturday, with mr best friend, who LOVES this place. She had the crispy chilli chicken, and I had the crispy chilli beef - both dishes were served with rice. The owners were so lovely, and friendly, and the food was DELICIOUS! Portions are generous, amazing prices, super quick and friendly service, and it’s all halal! Will definitely be back for more very soon!

I got a large box of noodles and crispy chilli chicken on top! One of my favourite places now! The noodles are fresh, spicy and sweet. The chicken was so crispy but also tender with a really nice sticky chilli sauce. I also got some crispy onions on top! Overall the sauce was the perfect amount and you really get loads for a large! It was very busy but they were very organised and kind. It cost me £6.50 and I would 100% recommend!

Fantastic place, have been eating here for close to a decade now! When he knows I am cutting he always gives me delicious freshly fried spring rolls so that I can still enjoy the food here without it breaking the calorie bank! To Alan and the whole Zhang family: Keep doing what you are doing, you are a beloved member of the local community and we would not want you to change for anything!

Came here with no expectations, ordered a chicken fried noodles and was offered for it to be spicy. I thought why not and it was the best decision possible. The spice was not at all overwhealming but just complimented the chicken to another level, would 100% recommend. 10/10 service makes you feel welcome and food out of this world

Tried this for the first time the other day (my friends have had it before) and it was so so nice! I got the crispy chilli chicken with rice, and it has to be the best I’ve had! Great price for the size of the portions and quality of food - more than reasonable especially compared to other takeaways. And the people are really friendly and nice. Will definitely come again, I just wish it was open later haha!

Simply the best food in the Norwich Market. Not only that, the owner is a beaming beacon of positive with a constant genuine smile on his face. Every dish is made fresh to order in front of you and is always of the highest quality.

After being introduced to Taste of Shanghai by a friend, I went here again today for lunch, very tasty, short wait times, good portion sizes, and the couple that run it are very lovely. £6 for a small and £7 for a large, definitely recommend!
