About Sha Xian Snacks

Sha Xian Snacks (翁记沙县小吃) is a Weng's-branded Fujian Shaxian counter in the Kmart Melbourne CBD basement on Bourke Street, a short walk from Chinatown. Google Maps place_id ChIJW8AJdbtD1moR8xVlTmPrt24 lists business_status OPERATIONAL with no website field (Waze live map, Jun 2026); Waze and MapQuest show Open with no permanent-closure badge; DoorDash and Uber Eats (Shaxian Snack, 220 Bourke St) publish active menus with walk-up and delivery ordering. The Bourke Street outpost opened in 2018 per australia51.com and serves peanut-sauce dry noodles, small wonton soup, congee, braised pork rice, herb crock-stewed soups, and braised cold dishes. Melbourne Food and Wine Festival highlights the dry noodles with peanut sauce as a Chinatown pick. Sluurpy (updated 5 Jun 2025) aggregates 295 reviews with Uber Eats still active; restaurants-info.com patrons praise congee and herbal soups. Expanded web-presence search (attempt 0/3): shaxiansnacks.com.au, shaxiansnacksmelbourne.com.au, wengshaxian.com.au, and wengjishaxian.com.au do not resolve; Google Maps, australia51.com, restaurants-info.com, Sluurpy, and MapQuest list phone/address with no operator-owned domain; Migrant Meals list index 114 (mm-114) has blank Instagram URL and no operator @handle — only third-party @migrantmeals editorial posts document the branch. No dedicated restaurant website on own domain — DoorDash business page is the live online menu and ordering channel (same pattern as Fantuan-backed counters in seed catalog). A sibling Shaxian Snacks trades at 1 Carrington Rd, Box Hill; this slug is the Bourke Street location only.
