Shanghai - Wellington

We had a wonderful dining experience here! My wife and I enjoyed the Honey Pork, Dim Sim, and the Roast Pork with Shrimp Fried Rice. The food was delicious and flavorful. The staff were also very friendly. We will definitely return!

We really enjoyed our lunch here. Our unanimous rating is 4. The egg custard rice noodle is the best we had inWellington. Sweet and sour fish, mapo tofu and salted fish fried rice hit the spot. However, the Singapore noodle is very dry. If anyone can recommend a yummy one, please reply below. Did I mention all lunch dishes are $10.

I went on 4 Oct 2016 in a party of 10. Total bill was $292.  We had about 10 dishes and our group was happy with all of the dishes. We had steamed blue cod in soya sauce ginger, tofu with mined meat, lemon chicken, duck with spring roll wrapping, long beans with savory meat, orange beef,  banana fritter with ice cream, etc. We were about the only ones in the restaurant so ambience was nice for group chat fun. Owner served us personally and gave us complimentary starter soup at the beginning and fresh fruits at the end of dinner.  We brought our own wine and our own tea. Happy to recommend this restaurant if you want value for money, spacious and quiet ambience.

When I walk past this place I don't think of it much, after all the decor and signage looks like 80s/90s Chinese restaurants. Finally had the chance to dine here and I think the food is quite decent. The kitchen puts out some quite authentic and decent sized servings of Shanghainese and wider Chinese cuisine, unlike the bastardised dishes of other Chinese establishments in Wellington that seem watered down in an attempt to please Kiwis. Worth a try if you are a Chinese food fiend.

From my favorite white poached chicken to the signature orange beef—which is a delightful twist on sweet and sour beef—the food here is truly outstanding. During my last visit, we also enjoyed some delicious hot, salty prawns still in their shells, slow-braised pork with taro, and a combination seafood dish served in a deep-fried potato basket. If you prioritize flavor above all else, Shanghai is an underrated Cantonese-style restaurant that is definitely worth a visit. Oh, and they offer BYO as well! I would give it 4.5 stars.
