About Shanghai Chinese Restaurant
Best fresh homemade dim sum in Austin since 2008
Located at 6718 Middle Fiskville Rd, Austin, TX 78752, Shanghai Chinese Restaurant operates as a dim sum serving Austin in Texas. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as asian fusion restaurant, asian restaurant, chinese restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.
Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.
The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 am–8 pm. It is closed on Tuesday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Austin is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Austin follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

This place is fantastic, and I highly recommend it! Everything I ordered was incredibly fresh. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients used. It's definitely worth trying if you're looking for a great meal. Don't hesitate to give them a chance! The lady working up front brought us fresh water while we waited. Really quick service and the food was insanely good.

The BBQ pork pastry came out piping hot from the oven. One bite in, and I was sold. The pastry was incredibly flaky and crispy, the filling was generous, and it was nothing like the softer versions I’ve had elsewhere that had been sitting for a while. It was so, so good. After that, I couldn’t resist peeking through the kitchen window. Watching the chefs wrapping, steaming, and baking dim sum to order made everything look even more appetizing. We also ordered the lava custard buns, cheese balls, pan-fried turnip cake, and siu mai. Every dish was satisfying. The lava buns were soft and freshly steamed, the turnip cake was flavorful with a perfectly crispy crust, and the cheese balls were warm, crispy, and delicious. If you’re like me and prefer made-to-order dim sum over dim sum that’s prepared ahead of time, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Came here to pick up food. I believe the gentleman who helped me, his name was Xing He. He treated me with such kindness and made me feel welcome as a fellow chinese. :) When I told him I was from Malaysia, he offered me a soda and wanted to make sure I was well taken cared. Food was amazing as well. The tofu rolls and the egg tarts were the best. Thank you! I will be coming back again!

Oh my gosh. I don’t know why this place has such low ratings?! I love dim sum & duck & although I don’t eat it often I am picky. This place I tried only once but they delivered exceptional service & food. I came on Christmas bc I didn’t want to cook and they were open. The lady at the front was so sweet and helpful, even offered me a drink as I waited for my food. We ordered the pecking duck, combination lo mein, and chicken dumplings. The duck was cooked perfect & was juicy. We got the half order and they gave me a good amount of meat not any bones in my order which i was very happy about. I’ve been to some places where they hardly give any meat and it all bones. Not this place. Everything was so yum & they packaged my order perfectly. They remembered the chili oil and everything. My bf who doesn’t eat dim sum or duck often also really liked the food here so that should say something!!! We will definitely be coming back.

Shanghai Chinese Restaurant has been a favorite of mine for years. When I lived nearby, it was my go-to spot and it was always good. Recently, I went back with my parents, and I’m happy to say it’s better than ever. We ordered the sesame chicken along with some dim sum, and everything was incredible. The chicken was clearly real, fresh, high-quality chicken—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The dim sum was just as impressive, and now I’m genuinely torn every time I go between ordering dim sum or that sesame chicken because both are that good. They’ve also added some new menu items that are absolutely worth trying. After trying the pineapple bbq puff, I went back the next day hoping to have it again, but it was sold out—which honestly just tells you how popular and good it must be. The atmosphere has noticeably improved recently too; it feels warmer, more welcoming, and just an even better place to be. Even though I live farther away now, this is still my go-to takeout spot. I’ll happily make the drive. I visited with my parents after seeing an email about Mr. He’s 10-year anniversary—what an incredible milestone. The work he does truly shows in the food, the consistency,
