It's great to see our go to dumpling restaurant expanding all around Melbourne. This Shanghai Street is quite spacious and the dumplings are just as good as their other stores. If you're after a xiao long bao fix in Windsor, this is the place to go.
Came here for dinner recently, the service was fast and everything operated smoothly. The food was well presented and delicious, with generous portion sizes for very reasonable prices. There’s a lot of average Chinese restaurants out there but this ain’t one of them. I would recommend.
Love this place, and have never had a bad meal!
Cheap & cheerful, and food is always fresh & full of flavour.

I ordered the roasted crispy skin duck, Xiao Long Bao dumplings and wontons in chilli oil with a peanut sauce. I would highly recommend all these dishes. Quick service and friendly staff. We also brought a bottle of wine and weren’t charged corkage. Overall, great dumplings and fantastic for a small dinner or a large group.

I’m not a fan of eating purely dumplings for lunch, but my in laws are major fans of this cuisine and outlet. Service was alright, food came quickly and the cost is fairly reasonable at about $10 per plate. Dip it in vinegar and you are in for a wonderful treat! Would come back, perhaps to try the rice and noodle dishes.
second visit: do not order the noodles! I found it too oily and not enough meat. Please stick to dumplings
Shanghai street dumplings in Windsor. Dumplings are one of my favourite dishes and they do serve good Shanghaiese dumplings. Also spicy sour pork and homemade gramma pork are must order dishes as well.
When all else fails, go to Shanghai Street. Very consistent quality and quick, attentive service. Excellent dumplings, especially the pan-fried pork! Very reasonably priced too.
Ordered between two (total $46):
-Peking Duck
-Chicken & prawn Xiao Long Bao
-Fried pork dumplings
-Choi Sum with garlic
I think all one should need to know about this outlet is that it is as good as the other in Chinatown (which, if you don’t already know, is the one usually with a line out the door). Everything we ate was of a good standard and inexpensive. The staff were attentive and helpful.
BYO wine is free on Thursdays!
My partner and I come here a lot. We can highly recommend the boiled and fried pork dumplings!The Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce is a winner too! :)
We were at Chapel street last Saturday and had lunch here. Place was clean, friendly staff and I like the gray wall and randomly positioned artificial plants.
Tea was served when we sat down and was continuously refilled! After we ordered, our food came out quick and super hot and fresh. We ordered the the Ciao long bao plus Pork & Chives and Prawn & Chicken fried dumplings. Absolutely delicious and reasonable priced. Definitely will comeback!
Delicious food, great customer service. Loved every bit. Thank you!
really love the fried quail, that’s soooo yummy and the beef was delicious, worth it!
I ordered the mongolian beef on door dash. The food was delicious and very generous portion size for the price!
We had been intending to come in from the time they opened and finally have! We enjoyed the casual atmosphere and the generous serves of favourites like Sweet and Sour and Honey Chicken. Their selection was broad and traditional. The staff were polite and friendly.
I’ve been coming here on and off for five years. It’s one of the few Chinese restaurants that in the south east of Melbourne that I really enjoy. In particular I won’t eat beef at any other Chinese restaurant in the area.
We took the family to celebrate an occasion and it was completely empty when we arrived at about 6:15pm. By 6:45pm every table was full. It was an impressive transition but the service suffered pretty badly. The food was slow to arrive and the staff didn’t visit our table at all for the rest of the meal.
The food was good but not quite as good as every other time I’ve eaten there. The serving sizes where oddly inconsistent. Some of us went home hungry and some where completely full.
For old times sake I’m giving it four stars. If it was the first time I’d eaten there I’d probably give it three stars.
So happy to have discovered this in the neighbourhood, the lunch specials are great value and quality - and the xiao long bao are both delicate and flavoursome. All the dishes I saw coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled delicious! Can't wait to try more dishes.
I rarely rate a restaurant 5 star but this one deserves. Hands down the best chicken fried rice in town. We ordered some other stuff too (Szechuan beef and xao bao) with asahi beer but the dam rice was so tasty, finger licking delicious! The beef was tender but sweet and the dumplings were good.
Definite must visit!

There is only one other that I have loved as much as this, phenomenal work, quick service, good portion size and great customer service.
Thank you team, will return / order again for sure!
Update 23/04/2022:
I have now had the luxury of dining in at the restaurant as well as an additional order via DoorDash. Both experiences have been amazing. Their chicken (We had Sweet & Sour, no batter) is phenomenal, their Beef (Both regular and Filet Mignon) are also phenomenal. Mongolion and Cantonese sauces are both beautiful. Finally, their singapore noodles like their special fried rice, are absolutely terrific and are a great share on the table.
Customer Service was friendly and fast, overall an excellent experience, they deserve much more custom.
Officially my new #1 location for Chinese food here in Melbourne. Thank you!
