I’ve been to New Shanghai many times now, both eating in and getting takeaway and they’re always supplying delicious food. Every time I’ve been the food has been amazing and very fresh. You can see them making the dumplings from scratch when you walk in and the atmosphere is very nice. Staff aren’t the most attentive, I’ve had to call for their attention every time I’ve been which sort of gets annoying but the food makes up for it.
Dumplings
This outlet in the Myer Centre food court gets mixed reviews, but it's a really great option if you need a quick lunch and want to skip the queue at the Queen's Plaza location. The first time I visited I could see the lady in the window making the Shepherd's Purse Wontons, so I opted to have those - I chose the version with chilli oil, peanut and sesame sauce. The second time, I tried there the Xia Long Bao and the Hot & Sour Soup. The dumplings are very tasty and fresh, but I didn't think that the soup was hot or sour enough. Luckily there is vinegar and chilli in the condiment station and once I adjusted the soup it was great. This is a good quick, cheap option for lunch - perfect if you are dining alone or in a hurry.
Ordered xiao long baos and pan fried dumplings to share with a work colleague and we were pleasingly surprised at how delicious they were for a food court meal. The dumplings were made fresh on premises (watched the chef made them while we were waiting) despite other low reviews, we had a very pleasant meal and will definitely be back.
Super fast service. The place is clean. You have to arrive early because the place fills super quickly!
The food was good. There’s too much on the plate!
Id say this place offers the best dumplings in Brisbane. Never disappointed. I always come here whenever m in cbd. Worth your time and money!!
New Shanghai is my weakness and I don't care what other people say about this place. The only reason I'm not giving this place a 5/5 is owing to its hit and miss service. Our top favourites are the prawn wontons in peanut chilli sauce (pictured), pan fried pork buns (a must) and their Xiao long baos!
New Shanghai in The Myer Centre is the perfect place for a take away dumpling lunch and it's not as busy as their Queens Plaza store. I have been to New Shanghai a number of times now and I have enjoy the food every time. But hands down my favorite dish is the Shepherds Purse and pork wontons with red chilli oil and peanut sesame oil, delicious!
If you're after good Northern Chinese food in Brisbane, this is the place to go. I've had countless dates here along with many groups of friends for lunch and dinner. It's a safe choice for those who want to start exploring Northern Chinese food as they are known for their dumplings and fried foods with chilli. We always order the Pan fried pork buns and chili wontons, it's always packed out at lunch and dinner - for a reason! This is probably the only good northern chinese restaurant in Brisbane.
Very very busy at lunch time, but even so our orders were taken quickly and food was delivered very quickly so we weren't left waiting. The dishes we ordered were very tasty. It gets a bit loud inside from the amount of people, but that's my only negative.
New Shanghai is one of the few places in Brisbane that has fresh and authentic dumplings. The pan fried dumplings can be a bit difficult to eat though, because they're so big but it's worth the brilliant flavour. Been here twice this week so far and will definitely become a regular.
Love the New Shanghai Restaurant / love to pop in & have some Fresh Dumplings Yum Yum !!! & Shanghai Noodles!! Nice ambience & Great Staff !! Try it some time !!
Freshly made dumplings on demand. Tastes great. But the fried rice is a bit too oily.
Wow the Myer Centre Food Court has come a long way over the past few years! Food is fresh and made to order, so be patient during busy periods.
