I love this restaurant. Great service very, well organised and not overdone. The food is delicious! I think the only advice I would give is to order in stages, not all at once. The food comes out very quick!

About the restaurant

Shanghai 1814 is an exceptional destination restaurant in an iconic listed building in the heart of Southampton. You won’t have experienced anything quite like it. This is where East meets West in a cacophony of flavour, style, colour and vibrancy. Shanghai 1814 is so-called as the owner’s ancestors opened their first restaurant in Shanghai in 1814 – the time of the Qing Dynasty, China’s final imperial dynasty.

This combination of traditional European architecture with exuberant Chinese interior design is dynamic and exciting. Welcome to Shanghai 1814 and enjoy the ultimate dining experience.

Wow-factor interiors are decadent and glamorous, draped in dazzling chandeliers and adorned with cherry blossom. The menus feature contemporary Chinese dishes that are fresh and flavoursome, created by a Chef who previously worked at Michelin-starred Hakkasan in London’s Mayfair.

Excellent food, really good service, lovely looking restaurant. Went with my daughter for her birthday. At the end of our meal our waitress bought a slice of cake with happy birthday on it and sang to her. It was an unexpected surprise that really made my daughters night. (14) And mine. I've been here before with my partner and will definitely come again. Great place
