Shanghai Bay is a family-run Chinese restaurant at 17A Above Bar Street in Southampton. The business moved to this city-centre premises in 2016 and welcomes diners for everything from informal lunches to family celebrations.

Dim sum is served daily during the daytime, with dumplings, buns, rolls and other small plates suited to sharing. The format lets a table explore several textures and fillings rather than committing to a single main dish.

Cantonese and traditional Chinese dishes make up the wider menu, with seafood given particular prominence. Rice, noodles, vegetables, meat and warming soups provide enough range for both a quick meal and a broader banquet-style order.

Table reservations are available, while the restaurant also offers a buffet delivery service for homes, workplaces and venues. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should discuss the current ingredients, sauces and preparation methods with staff before ordering.

Address: 17A Above Bar Street, Southampton SO14 7DX, England
