Shanghai Street on Elizabeth St
/
Shanghai Street pleases the crowds with signature Chinese cuisine inspired by traditional delicacies found on the streets of Shanghai.
You can expect the same quality and deliciousness from their new outlet on Elizabeth Street. The eatery has a relaxed ambience which exudes an atmosphere of authenticity, transporting diners straight to a 1930s Shanghai street with ornate wooden furnishings and clever accents throughout the dining area.
Highlights from Shanghai Street include its famous dumplings. We highly recommend the xiao long bao, a mini steamed pork bun with gingery-sweet broth and a juicy pocket of pork made using a secret family recipe. The wontons is another must-have. We love the velvety wonton pastry which is beautiful in texture and the accompanying sea of sweet soy and peanut sauce.
For mains the Crispy Duck is a showstopper. It only takes one bite of Shanghai Street's crispy duck to understand why it has become one of the restaurant’s signature dishes. Simply put, the dish is all about the duck’s thin crispy skin – achieved through a rigorous process of drying and roasting the duck. The tender duck meat, although delicious, plays an ancillary role in this affair with the moreish duck skin taking centre stage.
For dessert, Shanghai Street offers a range of beautifully traditional treats as well as an exquisite more modern dessert of white chocolate mochi – highly recommended!
Shanghai Street is a gem of a place for casual dining. With its superb execution of Shanghainese cuisine and affordable pricing, there is no doubt that Shanghai Street should be one of your "go to" restaurants.
