Where: 28-30 East Street, Newquay TR7 1BH

Tripadvisor rating: 4.5/5

Shanghai Express is the best rated Chinese takeaway in Cornwall with customers raving about their chilli shredded beef and sweet and sour chicken.

One review said: "Best in Newquay

"Very natural flavours. Others in Newquay come close, but they normally add too much sugar and soy sauce to dishes and have a very unauthentic taste to them. Also it is slightly cheaper than the others."

2. Yue Restaurant

One stunning review said: "Just enjoyed a lovely takeaway meal for two.

"Both meals were very tasty and arrived piping hot.

"We prefer to order direct with establishments as we often request tweaks to our meals to get them as we like - for example, my husband wanted fillet steak with green pepper and black bean sauce and extra chillies (menu offers fillet steak with black bean sauce only) and this was no problem."

They added: "Portions were generous and perfectly cooked.

"Delivery was at the promised time and friendly service both delivery and on the phone. We will certainly be back and would highly recommend."
