Amazing food! Very tasty! We’ve been regular customers for years. Love the food and the atmosphere here. The staff and chef are super nice and friendly. Recommend to everyone. One more thing worth to say, the crab was freshly caught!!! Pre-order is essential for the fresh crab to match the fishing season.
Have been there many times. Authentic food and amazing service!
Really amazing and good ! Especially the lamb! And by the way I have to say ppl who wrote few hours ago with a one star try to get a free dinner and be rejected that why they gave such low score.
Amazing food and very friendly staff.
I’m a witness for what happened few minutes ago.Those people ate all the stuff on the table. However, after finishing dinner, one of them compliant about that the lamb is cold and the fish is not fresh enough. The manager said that she could make the lamb free for them, but they insisted the bill should get 50% off. From my perspective, those people are unreasonable.
Some of the best dishes I’ve tasted, really amazing. A real gem in Lygon street!!!
Great food. This seems to be underrated. Some of the other reviewers have identified this too.
Excellent and authentic Chinese food. Some of the best in the area. Order the pork knuckle, lamb rib and smoked tea.
Quiet spot, but great food. The lamb ribs were especially good, tender and fell right off the bone. They are also known for their grilled fish. Staff were very friendly and accommodating
Absolutely love the food, ordered a lunch special menu which were kungpao chicken with rice and fish fragrant eggplant with rice. It tasted amazing and came in a decent portion for $10! Squid with lychee was one of my favorite, the taste was very unique. The owner was very friendly and cared about his customer. Definitely try it if you are in Lygon Street!
Authentic Chinese food served at a decent price with passion and love. Filled with flavour and tradition we loved our visit. They also have plenty of vegetarian options (we loved the 5 spice tofu and vegetarian gyoza) which is always a plus for us!
Supervisor was super friendly. I am vegan and she made an extra effort of checking whether all the ingredients were vegan. Apparently the peanut sauce with chilli oil dumplings had some sort of pork oil so that was good to know. Anyways, had a great meal and the place was relaxing.
A large space with self serve menus. All the great Chinese dishes can be eaten here and the serves are very generous. Luckily the restaurant supplies takeaway containers if you order too much.
I had a simple pork and prawn wonton soup and it was delicious. Strongly flavored broth and the dumplings were silky smooth. Excellent value for money and highly recommend .
If you love eating dumplings then Shanghai Street is the place for you. Delicious, succulent dumplings in a variety of flavors and accompanying sauces are served here. Located prominently on Elizabeth Street, Melbourne CBD.
Aisan decor. Neat and clean place. Service is quick. Staff are particularly good at guiding you if you have food allergies.
Can't go wrong with the XLB here - silky skin with generous meaty fillings, it's no wonder why this dish is seen on almost every table. The Pan Fried Baozi is yummy too, with its soft skin and crisped bottom. For something sweet, you can't go past the Salted Egg Custard Bun and Fried Rice Cake with Red Bean!
Oh wow this was an absolute feast! First time coming here and I’ll 100% be back. From very friendly customer service to absolute delicious food, Shanghai Street won’t let you down.
We ordered:
Entrees -
Xiao Long Bao (vegetarian) - delicious bites of heaven! These are seriously the best XLBs I’ve had.
Boiled dumplings with chili oil and peanut and sesame butter sauce (kung pao chicken) - the flavour of the sauce was just magical! Was the perfect touch to these boiled dumplings.
Mains -
Salt and pepper chicken, deep fried calamari and Chinese broccoli. Each dish was beautiful! We loved how crispy and flavoursome the chicken and calamari were. Chinese broccoli is always a great addition .
