Shanghai Restaurant Menu

Shanghai Restaurant is an independently operated dining room on the ground level of SkyCity Hamilton. Local owners Jianchun Yang and Zhaojuan Gong shape a menu that moves between Zhejiang and Sichuan traditions and broader Asian-fusion ideas. Lunch and dinner service make it useful across the day, while private rooms for groups of roughly ten to twenty people give larger gatherings a defined space of their own.

The entrée section is designed for building a shared table gradually. Pan-fried and boiled dumplings come with pork, prawn, chicken or vegan fillings, and char siu provides a roasted counterpart. Cold dishes deepen the selection through Shanghai-style duck, jellyfish with soy sauce and bang-bang chicken. Peking duck can then become the centrepiece, with wraps followed by duck fried rice, crisp salt-and-pepper loins or soup with tofu and bok choy.

Rice and noodles cover both quick individual meals and dishes for sharing. Wonton soup, congee, fried rice, noodle soup and wok-fried noodles can be ordered with different meats, seafood or vegetables. The meat-free range goes beyond a token side: mushroom with broccoli, garlic-topped cabbage and rice noodles, eight-treasure vegetables, green beans and family-style tofu provide contrasting textures, with vegetarian or vegan versions available in several sections.

Seafood expands the menu into occasion dining. Soft-shell crab can be cooked with ginger, black bean, salt and pepper or chilli, while scallops, squid and mixed seafood offer further choices. Seasonal lobster, abalone and sea cucumber require more planning and may need advance ordering. Sizzling and griddled plates, along with extensive chicken, pork, beef, lamb and fish sections, allow a group to balance delicate dishes with richer wok and roasted flavours.
