大滬仁家 Shanghai Family London is a uniquely crafted Shanghai cuisine restaurant dedicated to preserving the classics while integrating modern creative elements. Since opening, we have adhered to the philosophy of “exquisite cooking, sincere hospitality,” presenting authentic Shanghai flavors to every customer. In addition to focusing on Shanghai cuisine, we also offer Hunan and Sichuan dishes, providing a more diverse taste experience.
The origins of Shanghai Family can be traced back through generations of culinary heritage. The founding Wu family initially operated a traditional small Shanghai eatery. After years of accumulation, they finally established the “大滬仁家 Shanghai Family” brand in the late 20th century. Today, Shanghai Family not only retains the flavors of old Shanghai but also continually innovates, striving to promote this culinary culture. In 2022, the brand crossed the ocean and established itself in London, near the famous British Museum. It has now become a well-known local name, attracting many local diners and becoming a must-visit spot for tourists.
Shanghai Cuisine: A Culinary Feast of Jiangnan Culture
As one of China’s eight major cuisines, Shanghai cuisine (Benbang cuisine) originated in the Jiangnan region and is known for its rich flavors and use of soy sauce. Traditional Shanghai dishes emphasize fresh ingredients and meticulous cooking, often featuring a sweet taste that is fragrant but not greasy, embodying the culinary essence of Jiangnan culture. From the famous Red Braised Pork to Lion’s Head meatballs, from Pan-fried Dumplings to Soup Dumplings, Shanghai cuisine combines seasonal ingredients with unique seasonings to create classic dishes that never tire the palate.
大滬仁家 Shanghai Family selects fresh local ingredients and retains traditional techniques to ensure that each dish reflects the authentic flavors of Shanghai. Additionally, our Hunan and Sichuan dishes offer a perfect balance of spice and aroma, catering to diverse taste preferences. Through online and offline interactions, we are committed not only to conveying the warmth of food but also to sharing the culture and stories behind it.
Whether you are savoring authentic Shanghai flavors or exploring cuisines beyond Jiangnan, 大滬仁家 Shanghai Family will provide you with a unique culinary experience.
