New Shanghai – Ashfield

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.

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)<br/ <br/ 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. <br/ <br/ 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!
