Restaurant grande Shanghai 2 In Perugia

The food was average, but the service was a disaster. The restaurant offers an à la carte menu and an all-you-can-eat option, and the waiters got confused, bringing the (larger) dishes from the à la carte menu to the wrong tables. It's a shame, because this restaurant is historic, but it's not what it used to be.

Very tasty dishes, really cheap prices. We received exceptional service.

The Grande Shangai 2 restaurant is truly excellent! The sushi is very fresh and carefully prepared, the dishes are tasty and plentiful. The staff is kind and attentive. The prices are also fair and proportionate to the quality. Definitely recommended!

A top-notch Chinese restaurant, not even comparable to the average Chinese restaurant. I haven't tried the sushi menu.

Good restaurant, good food, below-average service, and above-average bill. It was my second time there, but this time I opted for the all-you-can-eat menu, which is different from the à la carte menu. It's never happened before, to be honest. After ordering the dishes logically, starting with the appetizer, all the dishes arrived in bulk. For example, I was expecting spring rolls, and the shrimp tempura arrived first, and then I won't go into the rest. The dishes arrived as ordered, but without any logic. Another gem was the lukewarm sake at the end. I said it, and the only response was, "Sorry, it should be served piping hot... next time!" We got the bill, and instead of €25.90 per person, we paid €35 per person. When I asked, they told me it was for €5 beers and sake... okay, my fault for not seeing the price on the menu. I'm sorry because the food is good, but I don't think I'll go back.

We had dinner on the terrace! The view was lovely and the place was breezy: cool! The service was a bit sloppy: the order was wrong and the dishes incomplete! Even some forgetfulness ended up happening! The quality of the food wasn't excellent: nothing special! On the other hand, the portions were generous. I don't know if we'd go back: the problem here in Perugia is that quality Asian restaurants are hard to find anymore! Sushi is everywhere, but the cooked food is definitely lacking!

Exceptional!!! A delicious Chinese restaurant! We'll be back! A little hidden, but worth it!!! ☺️☺️

Good food and very welcoming staff

Typical Asian restaurant. Good but now standardized

1) What is the venue like? Historic venue in Perugia open for at least 10 years now, located on the second floor of a building (using the ramp), with a retro style typical of 90s Chinese venues. But it's not just that that's retro, but also the ordering system, with waiters who still use pen and paper (something that really annoys me, because I hate "begging" people to order something else). Outside the restaurant there is both a small car park and a terrible smell of fried food, which is now rare in restaurants of this type. Numerous tables are available in the various rooms, with also a large outdoor balcony on summer days. Very well-stocked menu in terms of Chinese dishes, much less so for Japanese ones. Highest price in all of Perugia if you go on weekends and holidays (€18.9 +2.5 for a bottle of water). Speaking of water, the waiter told me he would bring me a 1 liter bottle and instead it was 75cl... the TV was much appreciated, even if it was small and far from the tables, with videos of Chinese songs, it's just a shame that the owner hadn't signed up to YouTube Premium and we saw more advertisements than videos. 2) How do you eat it? I must say that I was a little disappointed by the quality/price ratio, with very slow service (I think I waited 2 hours for about ten courses), errors in the kitchen (I ordered rice noodles and they brought me soy ones), strong smell of garlic in almost all the dishes, Chinese bread for a fee, and more. -Appetizers: the raw fish is quite good and fresh, the soups are a little less so and tasted of little. Terrible vegetable ravioli (2 points out of 4) -Sushi: Good and well plated (4/4) -First: Can be improved (2/4) -Seconds: Quite good (3/4) 3) Is it worth it? On weekends and holidays I really don't think so... and in fact the place was quite empty, so I wasn't the only one who thought so. I've eaten better for less. It's probably the only AYCE in Perugia that I didn't give bonus points to, and in fact, as I said previously, it doesn't excel at anything. All in all though, the food isn't bad. Satiety and thirst average. -Final 'Bandix Travels' rating: 35 points out of 50 (perugia AYCE average: 35)
