Shanghai Family Chinese Restaurant Holborn in Camden

Very authentic! Good service as well :)

Walked over from a day in The British Museum, was hungry. I am solo traveling, not a big eater. Was served a small bowl of very tasty shepherd’s purse soup with pork and tofu, a side of rice was perfect !

Tasty food and friendly service

Very very good services and dishes are amazing!!!

The attitude is very good, I have been here many times!

The experience was great, I came here to write a positive review! First of all, the food is amazing. The dishes are rich in variety and full of creativity. Each dish is not only delicious in color and aroma, but you can also feel the fresh ingredients and exquisite cooking techniques in every bite. I particularly recommend their signature dishes, which are very distinctive, unique in taste and endlessly memorable. Secondly, the service attitude is also very good. The waiters were welcoming and professional, and every time we needed help, they provided a solution quickly and politely. During the meal, the waiter's attentive attention made us feel welcome and the overall experience was very pleasant. Finally, the dining environment of the restaurant is also very elegant and comfortable. The decoration design is simple and modern, and the warm atmosphere is relaxing. Whether it's a family dinner or a get-together with friends, it's perfect. The restaurant is also very clean and the overall environment is very pleasant.

Excellent scallion noodles with braised pork, super tasty

1. The experience is really good, each dish has a large portion, and none of the dishes ordered are too bad. Every time the waiter serves the dishes, he will introduce the dishes very considerately. I will definitely bring my family here to eat next time! 2. The price/performance ratio is very high, the dishes are plentiful and taste good. I have already thought about what to order next time I come here! 3. It was a pleasure to eat, the waiters were very enthusiastic, and the environment was very comfortable. It is a good place for family gatherings. 4. The dishes are rich and colorful, the service is considerate and considerate, and the environment is good, it’s still okay! Part 2 Sorry, I actually wrote this review just for the discount. In fact, it’s not delicious at all. Don’t try to avoid lightning.

It’s really delicious. I’m from Shanghai and the taste is exactly the same. I must try the shepherd’s purse wontons and curry vermicelli soup.

Very tasty, consistent, very authentic, portions are plenty, vegetables taste really good, not soft, full of flavour, and in large portions. The second time I’ve come here, and will come back again when craving actually good Chinese food

Incredibly authentic flavours , would highly recommend to anyone wanting Chinese food in town. Service is also excellent! Must visit!

Highly recommend this restaurant and very authentic Shanghainese food like pork, chicken! The staff are very friendly and the environment is tidy and welcoming.

Large portion. Really large portion. Although we sit next to the door, so expect the smoke and trash collection truck nearby that can be bothering.

My mother and I had such a great experience eating at Shanghai Family. The food was delicious and the service was great! Definitely recommend dining here ~

A few items we ordered from the Manu were apparently cooked a few days ago. It tastes like leftovers. They offer 15% discount if you agree to give them 5 stars, take their rating with a grain of salt.

Great shanghai style dish! Love the fried rice and roast pork belly. Recommended ⭐️.

Happened by chance.....well cooked dishes.

The braised pork is very delicious and tender! The crab roe xiaolongbao is also great! Highly recommended!

My favourite restaurant in London, my must go place in London. If you’re looking for authentic Shanghai cuisine, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! Every dish bursts with the classic flavors of old Shanghai — rich, savory, and beautifully balanced. Whether it’s the xiao long bao, braised pork belly, or Shanghai-style noodles, each bite takes you on a journey through the city’s culinary heritage. What truly stands out is the incredible variety on the menu. Whether you’re a fan of traditional dishes or want to try something new, there’s something for everyone. Vegetarian options, meat dishes, seafood — everything is prepared with care and high-quality ingredients.

We had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and full of rich, bold flavors. The sweet and sour fish was a standout – crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the sauce was perfectly balanced. The braised meat was incredibly savory and tender, and the grilled fish bones added a nice touch of smoky flavor. The rice was just right in texture, soaking up the sauces beautifully. Everything was well-seasoned and clearly made with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was prompt and friendly. We also appreciated the self-service QR code for easy payment – very convenient. The portion sizes were generous, and we definitely felt satisfied after the meal. This is a great place for sharing dishes with friends or family, and we’ll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Chinese cuisine!

Highly recommended, authentic shanghai cuisine, cosy environment.

Go for the pan fried buns！really good, second time tried it

Great service, great food, great time. Recommended.

Feel like home as a Shanghainese. Everything is authentic. Very good restaurant.

Very delicious. The marinated fresh braised pork is very authentic. I will recommend friends to come again.

If you want to try the taste of Chinese Shanghainese cuisine, come to this restaurant, there are many authentic and delicious Shanghainese dishes! You can even tell him how spicy you want it! Great!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The food and service were both great! Vegetable rice and red oil noodles are super delicious!

Absolutely amazing food! There may be a lot of Chinese restaurants in London, but not many their food could remind me of my home and family. Definitely will come here again!!

I dined at Dahu Renjia Restaurant with my friends today and had a great experience! We ordered fried pork with chili pepper and fried rice cake with shepherd's purse and shredded pork. Every dish was a surprise. The fried pork with chili pepper is spicy and satisfying, and the meat is tender and tasty; the fried rice cake with shredded pork and shepherd's purse is fragrant and soft, and the fragrance of the shepherd's purse is blended just right, making it taste like home-cooked food. The environment is clean and comfortable, and the service is warm and thoughtful. I will come back next time to try other dishes, highly recommended!

The store is very exquisite and clean. The Dongpo pork and fat sausage are delicious. It is not spicy but retains the spiciness. The Yangzhi nectar is sweet but not greasy. It is very suitable for clearing the mouth after eating. The food is served quickly and the service attitude is good. I also enjoyed chatting with the waitress. I will come again next time.

I had very authentic mustard wontons and steamed buns at this Shanghai restaurant. The soup is refreshing, the wonton skin is thin and tender, and the steamed bun skin is juicy. Every bite is satisfying and great👍🏼

The braised pork is delicious and every dish is excellent. Recommended

Wonderful food, great atmosphere We ate with gusto food is authentic and delicious

This is my second time here. Today I brought new friends to eat. Everyone thought it was delicious and we made an appointment to come together next time. The tomato and egg rice is delicious, and the mapo tofu is also delicious, but I forgot to take a photo!

I was shopping nearby and happened to see Shanghai cuisine. I ordered the sweet and sour short ribs. The overall taste was okay and suitable for one person. After eating too much, it felt greasy and the meat was tough. The seats were arranged at the door, and the wind kept blowing, which made me feel bad and the food quickly became cold.

very yummy chow mein with big portion sizes

The food and service was great; very authentic shanghai food! We had a great time here

Very delicious, ingredients are very fresh

Very delicious, very attentive service, highly recommended

Super delicious, fried pork with scallion oil noodles and chili, tastes great👍👍👍

Beautiful environment, substantial food, good service, and affordable prices

Very authentic Chinese breakfast, I ate all the delicious food

Absolutely loved this place! The food was authentic and flavorful—especially the braised pork knuckle, which were both spot-on. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome, and you can order the heytea which is just right across the road.

Shanghai style restaurant, best Ji Cai wontons in London. Would also recommend Shanghai Xiaolong bao, and pork and salted egg yolk siu mai.

The dishes are very good, including the pig trotters and poplar nectar that I like😋😋😋

The food is very delicious. We always order the pork ribs with rice cake.

The food here is particularly delicious, especially the sweet and sour pork ribs and spinach soup.

Good taste and good restaurant experience. Recommend!

Lunch at this Shanghai restaurant with great location, chill atmosphere and good food quality. Environment is clean and neat. Service is good. Fair price. Would recommend to others.

It was our first meal in London, the restaurant is nearby British museum. Surprisingly, the taste was really good, clean and superb service.

Nice place to have authentic Shanghai food. High service quality.

I ordered crab noodle dumplings and pickled pork shredded rice noodles. The soup tastes great and the pho is also very fresh. Very good experience

I am very happy to have delicious Shanghainese cuisine in London, each with its own characteristics. The soup of the xiaolongbao is fresh, fragrant and rich, the spicy peppers and pork intestines are very tasty, and the Shanghainese rice is the biggest surprise, very fragrant and has a strong wok flavor. Will help again👍👍👍

The food are delicious and will definitely come back again

Had a dish of fried meat but all I had was deep fried dough.

Very delicious, served quickly, Shanghai style. The dumplings were juicy! Will come again

It's delicious. It's delicious. I've been here many times. The service is also very good.

The braised pork is very soft, glutinous and super delicious. The green bamboo shoots are also delicious! Not far from the subway station. Will visit again!

It tastes great! It smells great! Crispy pan-fried buns

The white chicken is delicious. There are few places to eat pork ribs and rice cakes in London. The big spaghetti noodles are highly praised and recommended.

The rice is delicious! ! ! ! ! The songs are also very good! !

Good food - good atmosphere - friendly and quick services. Nice place.

The dishes are very delicious, with a typical Shanghai flavor. It is rare to find such authentic Shanghai Shengjian and Xiaolongbao in London.

Shanghai Xionglong bao. Beef noodle 👍🏻😋😋😋😋 Very tasty.

Very delicious, flavorful! Come again next time

The pictures and text are very consistent, the braised pork is very glutinous, and the portion of the dish is appropriate.

Here’s the updated review: Shanghai Family in London is a Shanghainese gem. The pork dumplings were a revelation—juicy and packed with flavor. The braised pork was tender and gloriously glazed, while the prawn tofu was silky and sublime, striking a perfect balance. Authentic, delicious, and unforgettable—I’ll be back soon!

Yummy dumplings and the wanton soup. Clean bathrooms

I love these dishes sooooo much🥹 Soo authentic

The food was great really reminded me of home!! Many options available in good portions.

Tasty Shanghainese food, most authentic I’ve had in Europe.

I recommend that those who like Shanghainese food or those who live in Shanghai and miss home come to eat here. It’s really super authentic! The pickled pork is really delicious. It tastes just like the one I drank in Shanghai. The stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with mustard greens is a must-try! It’s so delicious!

It tastes very well. The dishes are very delicious. The noodles is so good.

It was so good!! Miss Shanghainese food and garlicky spinach! So tasty! You should come!!!

Nice staff, brilliant food, had amazing experience with my British friends, they love it!

Very good, very authentic Shanghai flavor. I miss my hometown!

lovely restaurant, reminds me of home :) recommend the xiao long baos

Very delicious. The pickled pork with preserved vegetables is better than what I eat in the country.

Very authentic Shanghainese cuisine! Great service and food is as close as you can get back in China. Definitely worth to try!

The food tastes very good. My girlfriend from Shanghai said it is very close to the local taste. The service attitude is also very good. I will come again next time.

Come back again and again! Authentic Shanghai food. Cured my nostalgia !

The tofu pot is delicious, the service is very good, and the store environment is clean

Very nice food, am very satisfied

Delicious! The taste of home. Most of the dishes are sweet. I strongly recommend their braised pork and lion head. The taste is exactly the same as Shanghai's downstairs. The pork chops are slightly salty compared to the braised pork. The waiter's attitude is also very good and super enthusiastic ~ I recommend everyone to come

Recommended: Braised pork, crab meat dumplings, salted egg yolk and fresh meat siu mai

Very delicious, not only Shanghainese dishes, boiling fish, spicy chicken are also very good

The service is good, the food is great! Overall it is delicious, the Shengjian is delicious!

It was a very comfortable meal. The braised pork was very fragrant. The stir-fried lettuce was a very fresh dish rarely found in London. The pickled mustard greens and egg fried rice was also very fragrant. With the braised pork, two people finished the whole plate.

It’s rare to be in London and taste the taste of my hometown in Shanghai. From the appetizers, soups to the main dishes, the quality is very high. The squirrel seabass is the signature main dish that must be ordered 👍🏻👍🏻

Very tasty and authentic Chinese food
