New Shanghai Emporium Melbourne

Ordered the XiaoLongBao, Hainanese chicken and the crispy chicken noodles. We absolutely loved the soup dumplings, it held well and tasted fresh. However, the hainanese chicken did taste bland, the rice was good but the chicken appeared boil. The rest was good though.

Food is okay, but try to avoid off peak time, unless you’d like to clean your own table with nobody serve you

Tucked in the corner of the food court, you'll find locals come here to eat traditional and authentic shanghai flavours. Lots of takeaway on a busy Friday night! The homemade dumplings were the highlight - especially the XLB which were bursts of soupy flavour and visible crab and truffle bits. Can say it gives other dumplings houses a strong competition. Shoutout to the hot and sour soup which was all that plus well salted with good amount of ingredients - ask for chili oil if you like it spicy. Good wok hei on the noodles and overall very nice meal with heaps of variety of all your shanghai favourites and more.

Was here a quick dinner with bestie, they were pretty quiet around 4 o’clock. Pretty chill and relaxing while eating there. Good thing was the services were pretty quick, definitely enjoy the chicken rice, tastes amazing. Soup dumpling were disappointed a little, the soup wasn’t that soupy, but that’s enough, still tasty.

Food was good but beware of the fact they tell you to book via QR code on table and have a 10% surcharge and then another $8 charge per person that uses booking plus a credit card surcharge if you pay by card. We had a table of 7 and didn’t know all these and got stung $30 on the credit card and qr charges alone And they missed some of our orders

We recently had the pleasure of visiting @shanghai_taste2021 on the top floor of the @emporiummelbourne food court for a delightful brunch experience. The interior of the restaurant immediately captured our attention, and as we gazed through the window, we were captivated by a skilled chef crafting soup dumplings with precision. Each dumpling was meticulously filled, and the presentation was impeccable. Here are my top three recommendations from this visit:

Xiao long bao, signature thin skin, the first bite, reveals the subtle aroma of the chicken bone broth, which imparts a comforting and savoury essence to the filling
The broth inside the dumpling is light yet rich, with a hint of chicken flavour that elevates the overall experience. As you take a small sip of the broth before biting into the dumpling, you're greeted with a soothing warmth that complements the tender meat filling. The sensation is reminiscent of sipping a comforting bowl of chicken soup on a chilly day.

"Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Buns, " also commonly referred to as "Sheng Jian Bao. " These delightful buns are a staple of Shanghai street food and have earned a reputation for their succulent filling and unique preparation method. Juicy minced pork, fragrant scallions, and a deliciously savory broth that's locked inside the bun, pan-frying imparts a crispy, golden-brown bottom that adds a delightful crunch to each bite, contrasting with the tender texture of the bun.

Shanghai Salt and Pepper Crispy Pork Ribs with Garlic-The succulent pork ribs, tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, perfectly absorb the salt and pepper seasoning, creating a savory and slightly spicy kick that's elevated by the aromatic undertones of garlic. The balance between the savory, slightly salty notes and the kick of the pepper is a masterpiece in Shanghai cuisine.

My partner and I went for lunch here, the service was not great, staff ignored us waiting to be seated.
We ate fried rice, spring rolls and various dumplings, it tasted just okay and was overly salty.
After leaving we both felt unwell and rushed back to our hotel where we were both sick on the toilet for the rest of the day.
I do not recommend this to anyone.

Came here without any expectations, but the food was surprisingly spot on. We ordered fried pork bao, dumplings, and a soup, which are all very tasty.

Don't order cold dishes, pork ribs was too hard to bite and the colour is a bit wired. Another kafu was just from the fridge and too cold to eat.

The food taste of this Chinese restaurant is quite good, we have been here more than once, and we are satisfied every time. The small steamed buns are delicious and juicy, the fried rice noodles in red oil are spicy and delicious, the fried rice noodles are large and fragrant, and the salted egg yolk and shrimp are salty and fragrant. The children also especially like the brushed cheese cake and the sesame shrimp wrapped in shrimp meat, crispy spring rolls, duck burritos. I feel that I will not be disappointed every time I order a different dish. It is the first choice for eating in the city.

Best food can’t go wrong
But order accordingly

Food was decent but service was terrible. Food took over an hour to come at a non busy time and we had to ask three different waiters/waitresses to follow up. Wouldn't come back here.

I ordered takeaways, the food looks out of date and tastes even worse.
Can't believe how come they still run business.
Never ever recommend

Me and my friends went to find a place to grab a snack and that turned into an early dinner since we ordered plenty. Food was really great but service was bad. We were directed to seat on a small table and friend had no cutlery when we asked for table of three. We had to get our own water, not sure if they are suppose to served. Staff needs to be called numerous times to request for a dipping sauce for one of our orders which was suppose to come with it. It was not busy as only three tables have customers and the staff are always on the counter and not paying attention on the customers. Food great except for the fried food. Service can be improved more.

Yummy food, service was so good, staff were kind and helpful.girl with tattoos on her arms was too sweet and told us about them, super cute.she knows who she is

Xiaolongbao was a real disappointment. The skin was too hard and not tasty. The first female waitress who served us was very good, but the guy was very disappointing. I asked for oolong tea but he didn't bring cups for the number of people.

Never ceases to delight me, a very charming quiet restaurant with good taste and kind crew, and everything was fresh and tidy.

Friendly employees, prompt service, and spotless restrooms. My kids enjoy coming here because they can order their Boiled Chive.

I always have a great experience. I am So happy to be customer of New Shanghai Taste. Must try it

Our engagement was held in the front private room. For private gatherings with a terrific vibe, this is a hidden gem. Parking for guests at a central location Canapés that are genuinely delicious Friendliness of the employees Supportive, accommodating, and all-around fantastic Venue Manager I strongly suggest it.
