New Shanghai - Melbourne, Victoria




#809 Soy drink $2.80

#206 Shallot pancake (2 pieces) $6.50

#507 Shanghai noodle stir fried with shredded pork & vegetable $9.90

#201 New Shanghai Xiao Long Bao - Steamed mini pork buns (8 pieces) $7.80

#403 Stir fried spinach with garlic $11.50




Would we go back? I was absolutely starving when we visited this new eatery, and we found the food to be fairly tasty and reasonably priced, while the service was efficient. For me, New Shanghai doesn't come close to Hutong, but it's definitely not a bad option - especially if you're seeking an escape from the lights and sounds of Emporium.
