There’s always a food queue outside the restaurant during peak hours. The menu is broad & extensive has got something for everyone. 🙂 They have a concept store right next to it where you can purchase freshly made items such as handmade dumplings, pastries & snacks for takeaway. My favourite choice is their Zongzi. (Sticky rice dumpling)
They have many authentic Shanghainese dishes, from appetizers, mains to desserts. The classic Xiao Long Bao was plumped & juicy but the skin was a tad thick. Slow Braised Pork Belly with Sweetened Soy Sauce served in a traditional claypot. The pork belly was cut in cubes and was melt in your mouth served in a sticky caramel sauce. 😋
Their Shanghai Lion’s head Meatballs were not as authentic as I had in Shanghai. The oversized pork meatballs were dense and I couldn’t really taste any crabmeat in them. 😗
I loveee their dumplings! Some of the greatest in Sydney. I would highly recommend their pan fried pork buns and prawn wontons. They are full of so much flavour and are of great value. The menu is quite extensive so you are sure to find something that you love. The only negative thing about this place is it does get quite busy (understandable) and some of the tables are quite close together. Perfect for those dumpling cravings, but also amazing Chinese food!
Oh HARRO!! TRY DA FRY RYE
If you’re looking for genuine, authentic Chinese dishes which are large in portion and filled with flavour - this is the place to go. We ordered a noodle dish, a wonton soup and xiao long bao. This place is very reasonably priced for what you get.
I have been eyeing this place out for a while and it did not disappoint!
The restaurant opened at 11am and there was already a queue. The food was delicious & served quite fast. I really enjoyed my braised beef noodle soup, the meat was soft and melted in my mouth.
The dumplings were also yummy! I also recommend the lychee green tea.
Would definitely come back
Service was great too!
BOMB PORK XIAO LONG BAOS !! Casing is so thin and juice filled! Melts in your mouth!! IN LOVE w the century duck egg and pork congee $10 for such a great size + always get chinese doughnuts to compliment!! Prawns with vermicelli within XO was flavour packed but XO sauce really could have improved!!!

I’m always hearing about this place and finally got a chance to check it out. Of the restaurant that line Liverpool st, New Shanghai is definitely one of the nicer ones in terms of decor and interior. The food is a bit hit and miss, I loved the pan fried buns ($12), the minced meat noodles had a good flavour but not enough sauce and a tad bit plain ($12), xo pipis were very flavourful and quite generous in serving size ($20) and the marinated seaweed salad was refreshing ($6). All in all, not super impressed but a good decent meal.
Dinner number 2: chinese brocolli ($13.90), crispy skin chicken ($19.80), pan fried pork and chive dumplings ($13), fried sweet and sour barramundi ($40) and salted egg yolk calamari ($23). The wait this time was 40min + always long lines, everything I had was good and not too salty so suited my families palates. The barramundi was soo yummy, but didn’t like the sauce much, prefer the vietnamese sweet chilli ginger garlic concoction. Anyway, good place for chinese but I’m sure most places around are just as decent.
I thought the restaurant would be very busy at around 12pm on a Saturday afternoon. However, surprising we got a table of six very quickly, the service was friendly and attentive. The menu had a variety of dishes. Larger portions than some restaurants I have been to. Excellent food 😊Would highly recommend!
Would definitely say this would be the place for a nice family dinner if you are craving for dumplings! Another dish that is recommended while you’re there is also the Salted eggs Fried Prawns!!!!! But just to warn you, just be aware that there is long queue before entering the restaurant as it gets quite packed between 6pm to 8pm! But beside that, food was great! Lovely atmosphere!
This place is nothing short of a dumpling heaven and serves probably one of the best dumplings I have ever had. They have multiple locations across Sydney and we visited the Ashfield one. It has an extensive menu of Chinese food on offer.
We live 1 hour away, but chose to go there because of very positive reviews. The restaurant was a simple, no frills environment, but the authentic flavours exceeded our expectations. Finally a smokey fried rice! Every dish was of the highest quality, and the staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful. We would give more than 5 stars if we could. Will definately back. Maybe tomorrow. Lol
Good tasty food a bit different to the normal suburban Chinese restaurants which predominantly do Cantonese style food. They do really nice dumplings too.
My Chinese friends dine here on a regular basis so that is a good recommendation.
Value for money. The food is extremely tasty for the price. Generous portions and and friendly service. It’s family run with the auntie at the front wrapping dumplings.
They make the dumpling skins from scratch. The Xiaolongbao, salt and pepper tofu and pan fried pork buns are a must! The food is fresh and really tasty.
They give complimentary green tea.
The restaurant is small, so come before 6:30pm to get a table. They are opened for lunch too.
The service is quick and friendly.
4.5 Stars. Really nice restaurant with great food and great service. Just lacks that finesse to be a 5 Star restaurant. Love sitting in front of the kitchen and watching the chef's prepare and cook. Really nice experience!
Easy tasty food. Fast service and super efficient staff. We had a few vegetarian options and overall it was good.
The best pan fried dumplings I have had in Sydney! However I was very disappointed with the Peking pork with steam buns which was meant to be a signature dish. It didn’t taste anything special and the buns were not served hot or even warm.
First time here today as had a ticket for next door and thought this place looks great they are making dumplings in the window.
Going in it's a typical hole in the wall place which I adore. We sit at the back watching pikes of boiled dumpings shooting past.
We order pork Chive pork and coriander and chicken mushroom. 36 lol for 3 people...........
The dumplings were devine plump juicy and delicious all fantastic but loved the coriander!!
Salt and pepper calamari delicious.
Satay lamb was OK but we were stupid to order it so my fault here.
Shallot Pancake not my bag but others love it.
Overall it's still a five stars from me I really loved I'm definitely going to try handmade Noodles next time.
No more lamb satay like I'm in western Chinese restaurant lolol.
3 drinks free tea large rice and takeaway containers all for 85 bux bargain.
