Shanghai Stories 1938 - Chatswood

Great place to dine in chatswood. Highly recommend booking a table due to the amount of people which were arriving as we were paying to leaving, which was around 6pm on a Friday. We decided to have an early dinner at Chatswood concourse. We arrived at 5:03pm and the hostess asked if we had a reservation even though there was no one in the restaurant. We were seated straight away. There is a large array of food choices on the menu. The food was exquisite. Fresh, tasteful and good size servings.

I have read the other reviews and I don't think they are a fair review. I have been here twice and both times the services was very good. A girl pretty much waiting right by our table ready to take our order. The food was also great, I have yet to have a single dish there I did not really enjoy. Pork belly with bread is a personal favorite. Only downside is perhaps the prices on some items.

Fantastic food, good service, great for groups. Their seafood dish were particularly excellent, although perhaps not strictly Shanghai style. We were a rather large group of 12, but the wait staff were well coordinated to service our table. The floor manager (owner? was also very accommodating to our special requests.

Always order the empty and cooked meat. large menu, but they must know shanghai style food or it is a bit much to understand. easy to eat and a good work staff, but not too helpful to explain the menu.

Avoid it. some of the other restaurants in this company are in order, but the chatswood restaurant is terrible. eating is just ok and the service is incredibly rude.
