About Us
Shanghai Street on Elizabeth Street is the CBD outpost of a Melbourne dumpling institution founded in 2009 — the brand timeline marks this Elizabeth Street branch from 2022, with siblings on Little Bourke Street, Burwood, and Perth. Ground floor is a casual Jiangnan-style dining room styled like a 1930s Shanghai street (Gastrology), built around chef-handmade xiaolongbao, pan-fried sheng jian–style mini buns, wontons in chilli-peanut sauce, dandan noodles, and a wide dim sum and noodle board (~A$17 average dish price on published menus). What's On Melbourne and the venue's own Night Bar posts promote an upstairs east-meets-west tiki bar (L2) pouring craft beer and cocktails alongside bar snacks; Tagvenue lists the first-floor private area for seated events up to ~70. The group cites Melbourne Top 50 Cheap Eats (2016) and long CBD queues; takeaway and delivery run via DoorDash and Uber Eats. Bookings via OpenTable; city directory lists mobile 0478 668 823.
