Taste Of Shanghai - Hurstville

This restaurant is very reminiscent of Din Tai Fung, especially in its style of dumplings. The dumplings are made fresh on site, juicy, and incredibly delicious. It can get quite busy and there may be a wait as a result, but it is definitely worth a visit.

My friends couldn't stop talking about the xiao long bao at this restaurant. After trying it myself, I can't stop raving about it either.

I can't believe I haven't been to this restaurant before! The service was fantastic, they happily accommodated our large party and were very patient while we decided on our dishes. We ended up ordering the classics and everything was delicious. The flavors were outstanding and the fried rice was perfectly cooked, with a nice firm consistency. The only downside was that the spicy dumplings weren't very spicy. Other than that, everything was excellent and I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant regularly!

We are actually preparing to move to Shanghai, so we had to try this place in Hurstville.After spending one month in Shanghai already, I had a craving for some authentic Shanghainese food.We arrived early on Friday night (6.30pm and was lucky to get a table straight up.A pot of Jasmine tea was placed on our table straight away with the menus. I love how the main menu had photos of most of the dishes, as well as a separate paper menu you just circle which dishes you want. This made ordering so simple (I wish they had that in in most Shanghai restaurants! I must admit I ooohed and ahhhhed as every dish came out to the other tables. I was like a kid in a candy store!We finally ordered the prawn and chive dumplings, the Spring Onion pancake, then the Chicken Kung Pao and the simple but tasty Stir fry noodles with Shredded Pork.The dumplings were yummy, but the pancake was a bit disappointing after having eaten them from the street vendors in Shanghai. But not too bad!The Kung Pao Chicken was super tasty, and the pork and noodle dish was very good.The menu has so many traditional Shanghainese dishes that I will definitely be back before we head over indefinitely.By the time we left, there was a queue out the door, so plan early to avoid disappointment.

Taste of Shanghai has lots of outlets in Sydney. This is one of them in Hurstville.<br/ <br/ It’s not a big restaurant, but many people are coming to have Shanghai dishes during peak hours.<br/ <br/ [Pan Fried Pork buns] $12
