Shanghai Family is a Chinese restaurant at 40 New Oxford Street, close to the British Museum and Tottenham Court Road. The dining room focuses on the comforting, savoury cooking associated with Shanghai and is well placed for an informal meal in central London.
Soup dumplings are a natural starting point, with delicate wrappers enclosing seasoned filling and broth. Pan fried dumplings offer a contrasting crisp base, while noodle and rice dishes make it easy to build a quick lunch or a more substantial dinner.
Red braised pork brings together slow cooked meat and a glossy, deeply flavoured sauce. Claypot dishes and other warm specialities suit the restaurant’s family style approach, especially when several plates are ordered for the table to share.
The broad selection allows diners to combine dumplings, vegetables and richer meat dishes rather than commit to a single course. Shanghai Family is a useful choice for anyone seeking regional Chinese flavours and a relaxed shared meal near New Oxford Street.
Address: 40 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1EP, England
