They have the WORST history with the health Dept. Probably one of the worst I have ever seen. Soooo, I would say they are closed for good.

Ni Hoa Ma !
It's called HANZI and it's the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world.
The Yitizi Zidian dictionary has more than 106,000 characters.
You better know them all if you want to write in Chinese fluently.

Last week the large overhead sign 'China Buffet" was off the bldg. and being cleaned/repaired and just yesterday I noticed it was re-hung so I'd say they will be re-opening.
Always found it to be a very inconsistent restaurant as far as food quality.JMO

I was there last night for take-out and their credit card machine was down.Should be ok today.
Also having the computer print both is easy on the cooks to read.

It may not have been the worst Chinese buffet I ever ate in, but it might have been in the bottom two.

I hope they reopen. They weren't the cleanest place in town, but we always liked the food.

The absolute worst of all of the poor choices in TV. How anyone could eat in a joint that is so filthy and has so many health violations amazes me. Kinda make you wonder about many other recommendations.

Almost every restaurant has there share of health violations, if they were that bad it would be shut down for good. They shut down last year to get it all cleaned up and were passed . They just remodeled and opened back up. The food has always been better then Evergreen on 466A which may be cleaner but only because it is newer.

Did I miss something? This thread is titled Shang Hai Chinese Restaurant but there seem to be more posts on China Buffet.

Redwitch....it must be "California-style" that we both like it spicy! I've asked for spicy kung pal on every order and it still hasn't been spicy enough....I've asked for extra spicy...extra extra spicy... still nothing! The food is good but only wish I could get it SPICY!

Just had Shang Hai for dinner(our Christmas Eve tradition). The Hot and Sour soup is the best I've tried in the area and the Garlic Shrimp was great.
