About Us

At New Shanghai, we offer guests a taste of modern Shanghai-style cuisine, in an ambient setting inspired by the bustling, colourful streets of the city we’re named after. At the heart of New Shanghai are ancient family recipes learned in Shanghai and passed down from generation to generation. These ancient recipes are the base of our vibrant array of Shanghai-style soup dumplings, noodles, bubbling hot pots, and pan-fried buns, which can be enjoyed while taking in our live dumpling-making theatre. The first New Shanghai restaurant opened more than 10 years ago in Sydney by the Chen family, after they moved to Australia from their hometown of Shanghai. They now have 8 restaurants across 3 states of Australia, as well as one in Shanghai, that provide the same authentic experience, so everyone can enjoy New Shanghai.
