So much better than the cbd branch. Ambience, service, speed is way better. Dumplings had nice plump filling

This is my favourite dumpling place at chapel street. Dumplings are really little pockets of heaven. Tasty and succulent mince pork surrounded by delicious soup. Don’t forget to dip it in a vinegar-chilli oil combo for that extra kick. The san jian bao here is equally amazing, with its crispy base! Skip the other dishes here, these two are the most consistent! We ordered the hot and sour soup noodles for a change and the combination didn’t work.. the noodles didn’t soak up the soup and tasted bland, while the soup itself wasn’t tasty. I would still come back for the dumplings though - Perfect winter remedy!
We had the shanghai fried noodles, fried rice and dumplings. The noodles and dumplings were really tasty. I am coming back to try their other dishes next time.
Yum yum yum! I order from here often on uber eats. I’ve never actually dined in, despite living nearby. I organised a big event here for 20+ people tonight. Very accommodating management. The staff did a good job as it became quite busy around 8pm. My favourite main dish of the night was the Stir-Fried Shelled Shrimp with salted egg yolk. Melt in your mouth deliciousness and would highly recommend. Other dishes ordered included: Pan fried wonton, pan fried pork dumplings, special fried rice, beef fillet (not a huge fan as was too sour for my liking), Pork Xiao long bao, lemon chicken & Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. Decor and atmosphere are great. Overall a great experience and will definitely be coming back! Thanks!
We had some dumplings and a few main meals to share. They were all good, but nothing special.
the service was great - all the staff were very attentive and helpful.
The place itself is quite nice and open. I might come back :p
Been here for early dinner. I got
Shanghai traditional Pan-Fried Mini Buns: amazing, there’s a little hint of alcohol inside as well, and the bottom is very crunchy, i really like this dish
Boiled Chicken and Prawn Dumplings: the batter is quite thick but the filling is really delicious
Seaweed and egg soup: Clear and light soup, go well with salty main dish
Stew chicken and mushroom claypot: Not so oily, very well-seasoned if you have rice and soup on the side.
Overall, i really like the place. Recommended
We ordered xiao long bao, chicken and prawn dumpling, and special fried rice. What I like is their chili oil sauce that is actually spicy, so when I ate the dumpling with the sauce it gave this rich flavour that I don't normally get from other dumpling places. From all three dishes that I ordered, I recommend the special fried rice. It has big portion, it's simple yet really tasty.
Had some lovely food at Shanghai Dragon Dumpling House with my partner last night. The restaurant was pretty empty so we were served quickly and our food arrived fast. Only downfall was that they bought out the meat dishes before the rice & dumplings. Great value for money and lots of choice too!

There's an influx of Oyster sauce in Melbourne people ...
Must be cheap judging by the generous serving on our Vegetable orders.... 😁 check photos.
Formerly was a Malaysian restaurant if I'm not mistaken, taken over by the Shanghai Dragon group as an extension of their City restaurant.
Modernly fitted, with a bit of that China mainland flavour. Clear glass window for you to see those dumplings being created by the two lady masters dumpling maker. Plenty of room for more than 60/70 patrons and you won't be squeezed.
Plenty of food on the Menu and service too, albeit communication was a bit difficult and their lack of dumpling knowledge; they can't tell which dumpling that they are delivering to our table. But, we soldiered on demolishing our orders 😁 there were plenty of it. Although those vegetables were drowned in sauce and rather ordinary, their dumplings are above average, some are unique, with peanut sauce and definitely good value for money too.
Enjoyable dumpling dinner as always. JT-24/08/2017.
Great for a night out with some good Chinese food that is very easy on the wallet. Staff is welcoming and food gets to your table quickly. Their selection of dumplings is nice with the pan fried ones being my favourite. The Shanghai special ice cream cake was new to me, but would probably give it a miss on my next visit.
Food here are really delicious, I have no idea why people have bad reviews. I went to the store few times, and staff are really friend.
Shanghai Dragon Dumpling
👧Staff are lovely, friendly, helpful
🥘 Food is delicious, flavoursome,’and addictive. Make sure you try their drunken noodles, my favourite.
💰 Prices are reasonable especially for the quantity of food you are getting
✔️There is a large selection of good, something to suit all dietary requirements. I love to get several dishes and do share plates, it allows you to try everything.
Very solid dumpling experience. Super juicy and quite tasty. Quick service and the food usually comes out quite quickly. It's definitely a Chinese style of food with no fusion elements. Not a massive selection of alcoholic beverages. Would come back when I'm in town.
On chapel street there are quite a few options for dumpling places. There is Shanghai street towards Windsor and you have his place Shanghai Dragon. The soups and noodles at Shanghai street are great value at lunch time $11.80 for a bowl full of warming goodness. High quality ingredients and nice and prompt service.
Recommend this.
