### 4/5 — Great service. A bit more pricy than others

*2019-08-07, version 2.7.5*

Great service

### 2/5 — Lacking in functionality

*2019-07-31, version 2.7.5*

Needs to incorporate better search, filter, review, and ranking settings. Embarrassingly simple vs competition.

### 3/5 — Great app until it updates

*2018-12-21*

I use this all the time the service is great, but the app -  it updates and forgets your info and is a pain to login.

### 3/5 — Not a very good APP

*2018-11-20, version 2.6.0*

The design of the app and website are quite bad. Search function can rarely find what I type in. When going back from a restaurant page I have start all the way at the top again and scroll endlessly back to where I was. It doesn’t remember my sign in details when I return to the app and have sign in each time. Overall it needs a better UX/UI design and I hope they can make it better. There are better delivery apps that are better designed, user friendly and with cheaper delivery fees.

### 4/5 — Good to have

*2018-10-21*

If you don't understand Mandarin, it's a viable alternative to ordering take out in China. The restaurants available tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum, but at least there's a low minimum order & the delivery fees are reasonable. The only caveats are that a Chinese phone number is required, and international cards connected to WeChat don't work, which can be major hurdles.

### 3/5 — If the place is closing, please warn me

*2018-10-04, version 2.5.0*

I have often placed an order and then been told the restaurant is closed. If it's closed or about to close, please warn me before I go thru the menu and place the order. 

Also the app does not remember me. If I search on my computer, then later try to search on my cell phone, I have to type in my name and password again in full. That's inconvenient and unnecessary. I would like the app to remember me each time I use it regardless of whether I have signed in on my computer. 

I hope Sherpas will keep trying to add new restaurants. More variety would be welcomed.

When I call Sherpas on the phone they are very courteous and helpful.... I appreciate that

### 2/5 — English ?

*2018-09-19*

It’s all in chinese , how can I use it in English ?!?!?

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2018-09-16*

Visiting Shanghai for 2 weeks. Can’t be bothered to go out to dinner on first night here.  Decided to order food to my room.  1), difficult to create and account without a local mobile to receive a verification code.  2), address not found. 2 sessions to online help finally sorted that out. 3). App doesn’t accept payment by American Express or give the potion to pay cash on delivery.  I’ve spent over an hour and a half and still no food.  Oh well, cereal for dinner!

### 1/5 — Drivers tried to scam

*2018-09-09, version 2.5.0*

Showed me the wrong ordered, pretended he didn't have the receipt, and kept giving me the wrong change back. I reported it but I doubt anything will happen.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2018-09-06*

Great!

### 1/5 — The App From Hell

*2023-11-30*

Enjoy at least two messages, delivered twice each and every day - to your phone number and as a notification. Yeah, it's in English, but it's so annoying that it makes for a great incentive  to learn Chinese and just use Meituan!

### 1/5 — Horrible Company

*2021-11-02, version 4.1.2*

DO NOT download the Sherpa’s app or use their food delivery service. This is a horrible company with terrible customer service. If I could leave 0 stars, I would.

### 1/5 — Piece of crap app

*2020-07-27, version 3.3.2*

App said I would receive a credit for 50 yuan. Got the credit but when I tried to use it, they took it away as if it was already used. Garbage!

### 1/5 — Check your default address.

*2019-06-09*

The new app changed my default address so my order was delivered to the wrong location. The delivery guy couldn’t go back to get it for 45 min. Screw that, I made a new order with different delivery service.

### 1/5 — Don’t ship this kind of app

*2019-03-15, version 2.7.1*

Just not ready for prime time. If you’re too lazy to actually test and debug your app then don’t ship it. Can’t select registered delivery addresses, can’t get through clunky and painful UI to actually complete an order.

### 1/5 — Location services buggy

*2019-03-11, version 2.7.1*

I spend 45 mins trying to enter a location for delivery and the app simply refused any reasonable entry. It keeps defaulting to my current location ( I was on the move) and a pin on the map. Pls fix it.

### 1/5 — Pizza Hut has no cheese pizza option on menu!

*2019-03-02, version 2.7.1*

Pizza Hut has not cheese pizza option

### 1/5 — Poor Delivery

*2019-01-29, version 2.7.1*

If you’re going to charge 3x more for deliver than the Chinese apps for delivery I expect the food to be delivered to my door and not the security guard on the first floor.

### 1/5 — Bad server and hotline!!!!

*2018-12-08, version 2.6.0*

Always late delivery! Hotline always late to answer! I don’t recommend this service to anybody!!!!!

### 1/5 — Primitive technology

*2018-10-23*

If the waiting time estimate is more than 45 minutes long, be ready to receive a cold meal. They will send the order to the restaurant as soon as it is placed and your order can spend another hour just sitting their in the box, getting cold before they finally find a delivery person to bring it to you. Obviously no cancellation is available. 

I don’t think this service has more than a few months of life left given how fast it is falling behind the competition in service quality, technology and prices...

### 5/5 — A Lifesaver

*2022-09-30, version 4.2.6*

Sherpa’s is an excellent service.  I can’t order food from these restaurants with other apps.  It would cost me more money to take a taxi there and back as well.  Sometimes you want that far away food, but you just want to stay at home.  With Sherpa’s you can have the best of both worlds.

### 5/5 — Sherpa Reviews

*2021-09-10*

Always had a fabulous service from Sherpa. Huge selection of food and drinks available. Always delivered in a timely manner by their AMAZING staff.

### 5/5 — Love it !

*2020-10-10*

Sherpa’s is so easy to use and friendly with lots of deals !

### 5/5 — Good S* %

*2020-08-04, version 3.3.2*

Good S*#%

### 5/5 — Super Sherpa’s!

*2020-07-21*

Huge fan of Sherpa’s. Delivery is pretty good, responsible staff. Great deal when you have a coupon or some dishes of restaurants are on sale! Go go Sherpa’s!

### 5/5 — Convenient and Easy

*2019-01-13, version 2.7.0*

Have used several times and happy with the service. The app could use some upgrades like a better search function and access to more local Chinese restaurants. Will continue to use the service.

### 5/5 — Delivery always late too expensive

*2018-11-12, version 2.5.1*

My food is always cold, late and expensive. Only used this because the Chinese app doesn’t have hooters.

### 5/5 — Love Sherpa’s APP!!!

*2018-09-03*

I started to order Sherpa’s like three years ago. Sherpa’s basically saved me and my husband’s life’s. Before we knew there is an app, we usually order from the website which I also think it’s very convenient but the APP is just amazing!!!
We love the shifus in orange uniforms. They are so nice and are always with cute smiles when they deliver food to us. Good wishes to Sherpa’s!! Love ya!!

### 5/5 — Easy but bad search functionality

*2018-07-15, version 2.3.0*

Handy and pretty simple access to a few good restaurants.  
My major complaint is that the search function is terrible when looking for a specific entrée or style.  Even if you search for the name exactly as the restaurant lists it, you get zero matches or something from a different area.  It makes it difficult to find new and different restaurants that may actually have something you want but can’t find via search.

### 5/5 — Great service

*2018-07-11*

Brilliant service for those lazy nights in! You can even order your booze and it’s delivered right to your door!
