Shanghai August reviews
7The book is so cut! Small yellow croaker and salted fresh fish are the best
No one answered the phone today, so I drove over to buy it. This turned out to be really tasty.
I especially recommend this pickled duxian, which tastes very good and has the taste of bamboo shoots. It's not because I don't know how to cook it myself, but the bamboo shoots bought in Australia are not good. The bamboo shoots that have been burned for the first time, and then frozen, taste like nothing. The bamboo shoots here are definitely fresh bamboo shoots not frozen ones. Special reminder, it is best to go with 2 people, one person is driving, and the other person has to carry the soup, otherwise the soup will easily slip out when you brake.
In addition, the lion head is also amazing. I will buy it next time.
I also bought yellow croaker, smoked fish, and candied lotus root, all of which are delicious.
Friendly Boss Lady. Yummy food just the way Shanghainese likes. Cannot go back to Shanghai right now, but certainly can come to here to satisfy the taste buds.
I've never tried eating at a restaurant serving traditional Shanghai style food before, so this is quite an experience.
Our friend ordered about about 5 small dishes, 1 boneless duck filled with rice (heard it takes many hours to prep this dish. Pre-order only), and a soupy dessert.
All are quite tasty and will definitely return to try other dishes.
Downside: it seems there's only 1 person working on the floor. So it does take quite a bit of waiting in between serves.
Also there are only a few tables, so book a table just in case.
Oh, the ladies toilet cubicle door can't be closed properly.
You shouldnt miss this place if you are looking for an authentic Shanghai food in Melbourne.
I gave it a 2 star because it was something different. Honestly it's not the greatest, all the dishes I had last night tasted the same, using ABC sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and caramel sauce etc. For a good banquet meal of lots of main courses for a group of 10, it wasn't that special.
Price too expensive on cheap products used.
