Shanghai Street

About Shanghai Street

Shanghai Street on Elizabeth Street is the CBD sibling of a Melbourne dumpling group founded in 2009 — the brand timeline marks this Elizabeth Street branch from 2022, with other locations on Little Bourke Street, Burwood, and Perth. The ground-floor dining room serves Jiangnan-style Shanghai fare built around chef-handmade xiaolongbao, pan-fried sheng jian–style mini buns, wontons in chilli-peanut sauce, dandan noodles, and a wide dim sum and noodle board (most mains about A$17–19 on published delivery menus). What's On Melbourne and the venue promote an upstairs east-meets-west tiki bar pouring craft beer and cocktails alongside bar snacks. The group cites Melbourne Top 50 Cheap Eats (2016) and long CBD queues; takeaway and delivery run via DoorDash and Uber Eats. Google Maps lists the venue as operational with published hours; contact the restaurant directly for bookings (OpenTable no longer accepts reservations for this branch).
