new shanghai - queens plaza

in summary, disappointing food apart from the wonton soup, friendly and efficient service, reasonably priced and comfortable seating.

poor service but great food. new shanghai is quintessentially 'authentic' in that it views quality of food more important than service. you'll find that in most restaurants in mainland china; the food speaks for itself, not the service!

i've been going to new shanghai since it opened, and each time, the food is consistently good. dumplings are their specialty but everything that we've ordered in the past years have been good.

best food joint in queen's street mall, and brilliant value for money. long may this place prosper.

came here just before 5 to grab a quick bite. was lucky to discover their had a happy hour menu. so we ordered their pork dumplings that also came with a drink. we ordered a lychee tea drink. unfortunately after we waited also 20 min we discovered they had lost our order. but when the food came we did enjoy our meal but was very disappointed with the service.

really loved the yangzhou fried rice, the pan fried pork buns and especially the xiao long bao! there's always a long queue, but it's definitely worth the wait.

horrible service, average food. out of 6 dishes we ordered, only 2 were above average. despite the most amazing prawn dumplings i have ever had, the horrific service and rudeness of every single staff member we dealt with brought this restaurant down in my eyes and i'll never be coming back here again. disappointed.

new shanhais a really good thing i tell ya. now i tell ya what this is the kinda place i am gona come again and again a lot of drongos about and by that i mean its really busy!!!! cant a gal catch a break whos with me

anyway reasonable prices and i tell ya what those shepards purse dumplings in chilli peanut sauce well they get this lil slayas tummy grumblin'

delicious food. excellent value.. attentive and pleasant staff. wonderful dumplings. excellent value for money.

pricey asian dishes. was here with my boyfriend. xiaolongboa is a must
we wanted to try something new today, so we went for the special menu
xiaolongboa was nice and juicy and flavoursome
we ordered the rice cracker with sweet and sour sauce i believe...
i was awful.! it was so sour that brought me to cough, there was not much in the sauce except a few pieces of seafood. it cost us $21
for 8 pieces of mini rice crackers and the sauce made from vinegar :( very disappointed

i’ve been here twice lately – it’s that good. so good, that the friend who came with me the first time, she’s been three times! all within the space of a week. on our first visit we had pork xiao long bao with the pork and chive steamed dumplings and both were incredible. juicy and fresh – you can’t get enough of them! the shepherds purse and pork wontons with chilli, peanut and sesame sauce were different, i had heard through urbanlist to give them a whirl. the chilli and the peanut sauce are a unique combination and one to be tried for yourself!

xiao long bao!!

the kitchen is a big feature of this restaurant in the queens plaza food court with a large window so you can see the staff making dumplings. we tried the hot and sour soup and a shanghai fried noodle dish which were delicious but the highlight of our meal was the xiao long bao (soup dumplings). we tried the classic pork and the pork and crab versions and they were both amazing - flavoursome, good dumpling skin and cooked to perfection. the service was pretty good too - we didn't have to wait too long to get in and once we had ordered, the food came out quite quickly.

amazing! loved it. been to most around the area and this is definitely one of my faves. definitely try out.

average. look i rated this place a "like" because the food was good and not over priced. however i don't see what the fuss and the large lines were for.

true authentic shanghai dishes. all excellent flavour & quality. you need to ask about the menu and look at the popular dishes everyone is eating.

their 小笼包 and 红烧肉 are definitely the best. i don't think new shanghai is expensive at all. however, their 炸酱面was a bit disappointing. overall, not a bad place to try out chinese cuisine. the only thing bad about the place is that there's no service inside so you can't use your phone.

my boyfriend and i had new shanghai for dinner about three weeks ago. it was a quiet afternoon. we ordered a glass of soy milk that took forever to deliver, not to mention it was disturbing having to watch our soymilk sitting at the bar and we could not get it ourselves while literally sat right next to it.
the crispy chicken with noodles was worth going back for, it had the best sauce to pair. the pan fried dumplings was nice and crispy.
lastly we had the wontons in chilli oil with peanut and sesame sauce. it used to be sweet, mild and easy to eat. this dish used to be my favourite, but not anymore. it would be a really good dish for people who likes spicy food. the portion was decent and 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶it is extremely spicy🌶🌶🌶🌶. i asked for some more sesame sauce which the waiter tried to charge me for until explained it was so different and way more spicy than what we had in our previous visits.
i know it might sound subjective, but i gotta say it was way way toooo spicy for both of us. our tolerance to spicy food is average, but not that we can't eat any spicy food.
we decided to give it another chance tonight. we ordered it for takeaway. again, it was so spicy that i didn't enjoy it at all. 😵😵😵

food was above average, experience could have been better. hope they can make the spicy wonton less spicy.
