Shanghai Restaurant

Have been there 3 times now on visits to Wellington. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. My wife loves the Chinese food and she pronounced it authentic!

I like this place and have been here many many times. Nice Chinese food and not too oily like many others. Strongly recommended

We tried out their dinner menu. At the time the restaurant was empty however what appeared to be a senior staff member was very accommodative and guided us to a table. My friend ordered a combination seafood dish and I a stuffed tofu dish. We liked both dishes and will go there again.

hen 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 favourite white poached chicken, to the signature orange beef (a play on a sort of sweet and sour beef), and back, the food here is excellent. Last time I went we also had delicious hot salty prawns in their shells, slow braised pork and taro, and the combination seafood in a deep fried potato basket.
