Shanghai Stories 1938

Wouldn't even rate it half a star. Went here for a work function where they joined a small table to a large one. Ended up sitting on the smaller table away from all of the food. They use too much MSG and was dying of thirst for the next 3 days.

The food is nowhere near as good as it used to be when it first opened up. It's a bit more expensive than other dumpling places in Chatswood and it is definitely much more saltier - you will notice the MSG.

Better ambiance and food quality than New Shanghai at about the same price. Service is always prompt and food was delicious - plus they have outdoor seating. Try the shallot pancakes.

The fried rice is still outstanding however I found the pork a little average, tasted very stewed. The owner was very friendly in attending to our little boy and we enjoyed his personalised service.

Go where the locals go and this Chinese restaurant was full of Chinese people and it was good. The beef and beans were delicious. The dims sims tasted a notch above the typical frozen ones you get at most other Chinese. We will e going back!!
