"Amazing food that tastes really authentic! Every time we go there, the food is fresh. I always get the pan fried buns, hot and sour soup, handmade noodles and xiao long bao! Delicious!!"
A friend and I happened to walk by and decided to try it out, as the other restaurants nearby seemed too crowded. We have been going back at least once a week now, and for two people, we usually order around three dishes to share, costing no more than $30.
The staff are efficient and, as someone familiar with Asian culture, I don't expect extravagant prices or service - just good food and generous portions. The dumplings are all handmade on-site, and you can taste the quality in each bite. My personal favorite is the fried rice cakes, which are soft, chewy, and bursting with flavor.
While we haven't ventured to try other dishes yet, the pork steamed dumplings and pork with chives are cons...
I’ve been going to the restaurant with my family since I was a child. It is family owned and has the warmest service. The soy duck and salted chicken as entrees are must tries! I’ve never had a similar flavour explosion from any other place. The pan fried buns and cold dishes are authentically Chinese and reserve a special place in my heart despite all the new pop up restaurants around it. This one is the original and the best. Almost everything I’ve tried on the menu has been great value for money and you will not regret the experience once you visit. Even though I live more than an hour’s drive away from Ashfield now, I still make the excuse to pop in and eat or get takeaway from the food...
We discovered this gem through Amy from the Blondie in China and this place did not disappoint. When you first walk in you might have some doubts because it’s not as busy as the other 3 Shanghainese restaurants next door but the food we ordered was delicious and very authentic. We ordered cold dishes pigs ear, pork tripe, and hot dishes xiaolongbao, pan fried baos and sweet sour pork ribs. The xiaolongbao was very soupy, the skin was light and thin and the pork filling was hearty. The pan fried baos were super crispy on the outside and soupy on the inside. It is sad to see the business struggle due to the pandemic and hope our review can encourage more diners to try out this place and suppor...
This is my favourite Shanghainese restaurant in all of Sydney. I have been coming here since I was 5 years old. Despite its small size, the food here is packed with flavor! My favorite dish is their xiao long bao - the chewy wrapper, flavorful pork mince, and delicious soup inside make it irresistible. You'll want to eat 8 portions in one sitting, it's that good. The owner and staff are amazing and will help you navigate the menu if you're overwhelmed by the options. Be prepared for a food coma after dining here!

First time visiting in almost 2 years and did not disappoint. Xiao long bao (pork soup dumings) and pan fried pork buns are our perennial favourites and they were outstanding. Gotta be some of the best Xiao long bao around, soupy and full of flavour. We always say we should try some of the other things on the menu cause they look and smell great but we never do cause we love our faves... And after almost 22 month absence nothing else got a look in. Hopefully not so long until the next visit.... Yummo
Ashfield is the home to a record number of restaurants with the word 'Shanghai ' in the name. Flavour Shanghai might be the smallest, but the flavour is indeed large. There must be a law in Ashfield decreeing that every Chinese restaurant along Parramatta Road must have the word 'Shanghai ' in its name. There 's Shangahi Night, New Shanghai, New Shanghai Night (why not combine two names in one), Taste of Shanghai, Shanghai Dumpling and the smallest of all the Shanghai 's, Flavour Shanghai.
Behind the dated decor, lies our local culinary hidden gem. I’m from Shanghai and I’ve been a regular customer of this shop for more than 10 years. I enjoy the authentic Shanghainese dishes that they make, just like the way my grandma and my dad would cook them. No frills. No fluff. Just old schooled style Shanghainese home dishes.
This cozy little restaurant offers exceptional food that is well worth the sometimes slow service. If you enjoy trying more exotic cuts of meat, the cold side dishes are a must-try. I always make sure to take home two containers so I can savor it again later.

Great Place, Great ServiceFood is authentic and very tasty. Much better than the overrated place down the road.Owner is a great guy, and very generous. Only thing I am not a fan of is the mediocre tea.
Amazing food that tastes really authentic! Every time we go there, the food is fresh. I always get the pan fried buns, hot and sour soup, handmade noodles and xiao long bao! Delicious!!
