Really enjoyed a visit here, found it by accident and staff were very nice in getting us a table although it seemed very busy. First time in an Asian Tapas place and I must say I will be going back again and again. Loved indian, thai etc and we had selection of tapas. Food was divine and really good value.... More

Everything was wonderful! We had the chow mein, chicken satay, king prawns and choco cake. We will definitely make a trip back for this.

No trip to Kinsale would be complete without a visit to Shanghai Express. My fifth time at this restaurant, and the tapas just get better and better. Thank you to all the staff. See you on my next visit!

Absolutely wonderful food. Hard at times to get in because it is so good but well worth waiting for.

I would recommend this restaurant to anybody. I've been there numerous times and no matter how quiet Kinsale is, this place is always full. NO bookings taken so just arrive and wait for a table. I assure you it will be worth the wait. It's my mission to try everything on this beautiful menu.

It was great to find it open & available at night, off season, when very few places were open or serving food. Great tapas at very good prices. A wonderful, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. We really enjoyed it there & look forward to returning.

Wonderful assortment of flavours to send your taste buds Zinging, powerful yet delicate eastern cuisine tight for space so make it early for a table
