    Nice! New Shanghai is alright.

    I had bad experience with this. Just note when you use this promotion: you have to show the bday email when ordering. Our waiter was not familiar with the promo and have to ask her manager. Then she asked to see a photo id to confirm the birthday. When we pay the bill they still charge the 'free' dumpling. Have to complain to manager, and once again they asked a photo ID and then process our refund. Just check your bill and don't expect a good service especially on busy lunch time.

    • Subway requires photo id on their birthday free sub and email as well, have to go back second times.

      I'm not giving them my ID just for a basket of dumplings

      • +7

        I don't think you give it to them, you just show it to them to verify your birthday.

    Man, I love Dumplings; wish we had this deal in SA

  • Only on the day on your birthday?

    • +1

      Valid for 4 weeks from the date of email received from New Shanghai.

      • How long to get the email once you sign up?

        Cheers

          I signed up last month. Don’t remember when.

          My birthday is on the 3rd week of August.

          Received the email on 1st of August.

    • if u want u can sign up 365 email accounts then u get free dumplings everyday…

      …. whether or not your conscious allows you to proceed is a question only for yourself

      • +1

        I allow myself even if I am unconscious. So there.

        Oh you mean conscience?

  • Locations seem scarse.

    • +4

      There is a store in Shanghai, so they cater for a wider geographical area than most Australian stores.

  • This place is great for food. Unfortunately the service is pretty terrible.

    • +12

      As is the case in just about every Chinese restaurant.

      • +3

        Username checks out lol

    • +16

      I never understood why some people care so much about service. You're there for the food, if it tastes good and they're not rude then who cares.

      • +11

        Some people care about the whole package, you know ambience, being treated like a king. Makes them feel special. Often times they expect it even at cheap Chinese restaurants though…

        • +5

          Only service I look for at food places is
          1. Good food for good value.
          2. Staff noticing when I have a request. Or ready to order.

    they jacked up the price and the quality is a bit meh in ashfield….

    • What do you think of shanghai nights in Ashfield?
      I really liked it when I went years ago

      • +1

        is a bit meh

      • The old shanghai is better than the new shanghai in Ashfield about 10 years ago. No more I think its gone

  • +4

    Looks to be about $11.00 to $18.00 worth of value depending on which dumpling you get and steamed or fried.. not bad but would feel cheap just going in to get a free dumpling maybe then going out to each their own

    • Basket of dumplings?

      • How many is in a basket?

        Everything is just marketing rewording to me until some specific numbers are seen or thrown around.

    • +7

      A true Ozbargainer would walk out without paying a cent and with a smile on their face :)

      • And a heel click.

      • And a true asian family results in two people paying the same bill, we paid twice cause the guy at the till changed last time we were here…

    • Won’t feel too cheap if order a drink with the free dumpling?

      • Yeah I guess so.

        Honestly might as well order a meal or something cheap like fried rice to go with it so you don't feel like you are taking too much advantage of their deal/offer/promotion.

        • +3

          But this is ozb. Where people will step over their grandmother to get a freebie.

          • @xoom: True dat this is cheap ass central

  • Visited recently. Chadstone Vic. Service was alright. Food was okay but paying for deco and environment.

  • +3

    Taste and quality of food have steadily gone downhill over the last 2 years in both the emporium and the chadstone stores….sad!

  • Just in time for birthday next week. Any recommendations on which one to visit in Sydney?

  • +1

    And conveniently a lot of people are having a birthday today…

  • And they give you a free cocktail for signing up - not just free dumplings.

    Note cocktail needs to be ordered with food.

    • The soups would probably be the cheapest food to order if they don’t allow the free dumplings to be considered as a purchase

  • Has anyone tried using both the free birthday dumpling and free cocktail vouchers at the same time?

  • Did they say how many dumplings? - most promo i get with Chinese restaurants have very tiny or hidden fineprints and conditions you will only know once your there.

    • There were 8 dumplings. It’s the ordinary serving so no tiny or hidden fineprints

  • How many dumplings do you get?

  • Anyone know if you can get the pan fried pork puns or just the regular dumplings?

    • Yeah you can get the pan fried ones too, that’s what I got

    • anything from the dumplings and xiao long bao category, catch is if they'll only credit the cheapest if there's more than 2 x types orders of dumplings

  • I don't think there was a minimum the last time I used it. There is now minimum $38.
