Family yum cha · all day, every day

Bring the parents. Bring the kids. Bring the grandparents who'll ask 'are these proper xiao long bao?' (they are).

Yum cha at Midnight Shanghai works because dim sum is genuinely the easiest food to share across generations. Steamer baskets keep coming. Everyone picks. Nobody fights about ordering.

Group tips:
• 6+ people — book ahead, we'll set up a long table
• Vegan + GF options on the menu (just ask)
• Pram-friendly — there's a lift to the upstairs space
• Walk-ins welcome, even just for a cocktail or mocktail

🪩 Reminder: King's Birthday Mon 1 June — we're open as usual, 11am–10pm. Bring your long-weekend crew.

Trust the Chef - Mum doesn't have to read the menu. Doesn't have to decide. Doesn't have to negotiate with your fussy uncle. She just sits, eats, talks.

Here's the deal: everyday from 5pm, $60 per person, your whole table sits down and we cook. Eight courses from entry to dessert - chef's special choices. Shanghai sticky pork ribs, hand-folded xiao long bao, the mapo tofu that goes silent at the table, the fish dish you didn't know you needed.

Perfect for 4–10. Whole table participates, min 2 people.
