Shanghai Nights

Shanghai Nights is a Chinese restaurant and takeaway on Cowick Street in the St Thomas district, west of the city centre across the River Exe. The kitchen is run by a chef with over three decades of experience in Chinese cuisine, and the restaurant has positioned itself as one of the first dim sum options in Exeter. The menu covers both dim sum and a broader Chinese menu for takeaway and dine-in. Cowick Street is a long residential high street with a diverse food offer, and Shanghai Nights occupies a distinct niche within it. The restaurant also operates as a Chinese supermarket, making it a useful dual-purpose destination for the local Chinese community and for customers wanting specialist ingredients.
