Shanghai

Durham locals have quietly made Shanghai their go-to for Chinese comfort food that delivers every time. This isn’t your standard takeaway—it’s a kitchen that balances classic Chinese dishes with a proper curry menu and noodle options that keep people coming back. The place has a no-fuss energy that suits a quick dinner after work or a lazy weekend feed.

Their salt and pepper chips are a proper crowd-pleaser, while the crispy duck with pancakes is the kind of sharing plate that turns a simple meal into something special. For curry lovers, the house special blends aromatic spices with a rich, glossy sauce that clings to every piece of chicken or prawn. Noodle-wise, the Singapore vermicelli delivers that perfect wok hei char without being greasy. Whether you’re ordering for one or feeding a household, this spot covers the lot with genuine skill.
