Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
A menu is easier to read once each dish is decoded in a line, so this page does that. It covers Chinese dumpling restaurants and Korean sit-downs in and around Chadstone, and names a regional style only where a menu names one.
Five places are here. Shanghai Red and Louis Dumpling Bar are in Chadstone, Tea Garden and Mr Korean Chicken are in Oakleigh, and Seoul Garden’s own site gives a Malvern East address on the same Dandenong Road number as the Chadstone listing.
Each place was checked against its own website and AGFG. Prices appear only where a menu printed them, and the sites for Shanghai Red and Mr Korean Chicken carry no date, so treat those prices as a guide and confirm them.

Shanghai Red — 1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone VIC 3148
Shanghai Red’s own site lists a Chadstone Shopping Centre location at 1341 Dandenong Rd, and AGFG confirms it is in Chadstone. Its menu prints Shao Mai (3pcs) at $10.80. Shao mai are small open-topped steamed dumplings, usually eaten in a bite or two. The site also lists Monday to Thursday 11AM - 8:30PM and Friday to Sunday 11AM - 9pm, but the page is undated, so confirm before you go.
On the menu (copied from shanghai-red.com.au menu PDF on 9 October 2026):
- Shao Mai (3pcs): $10.80
- Wonton in Soup (6pcs): $12.80
Order this first: Wonton in Soup (6pcs) at $12.80 per the menu, which is wontons (filled wrappers) served in broth.
Louis Dumpling Bar — 1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone VIC 3148
AGFG’s map entry puts Louis Dumpling Bar at Shop 1005 Social Quarter, Chadstone Shopping Centre, and its own site gives 1341 Dandenong Rd. AGFG lists it with “Child Friendly”, “Takeaway” and “Vegan Options”. We could not find a menu price we could read, so this entry prints none, and no hours are stated because the sources disagree on them.
Decoder: on a dumpling menu, steamed parcels come in bamboo baskets and pan-fried ones come on a plate, so ask which cooking method the dish you want uses.
Tea Garden — 1555 Dandenong Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166
Tea Garden is at 1555 Dandenong Road, Oakleigh, according to both its own site and AGFG. AGFG lists it with “Child Friendly”, “Takeaway” and “Vegan Options”. We have it filed as a Chinese restaurant, but we could not find a menu price we could read, so no dish or price is printed here.
How to order: with no readable menu to quote, ask for the dish list at the counter and ask which dishes are made for sharing.
Seoul Garden — 1341 Dandenong Rd, Malvern East VIC 3145
Seoul Garden’s own site lists a Chadstone page at 1341 Dandenong Rd, with a Malvern East postcode on that address, while AGFG’s map places it in Chadstone. The site lists lunch from 11:30am to 3pm on weekdays and 11:30am to 4:30pm on weekends. It lists dinner from 5pm to 9pm Monday to Wednesday and from 4:30pm to 9pm Thursday to Sunday. We could not find a menu price we could read.
Region: we have it filed as Korean, so it is the sit-down choice for Korean dining on this page, and the site’s two sittings make lunch and dinner separate decisions.
Mr Korean Chicken — 1525 Dandenong Rd, Oakleigh VIC 3166
Mr Korean Chicken is at 1525 Dandenong Rd, Oakleigh, per both its own site and AGFG, which lists “Child Friendly” and “Takeaway”. Its menu prints Dumplings (6pc) (VG) at $11.40 and Corn Cheese (VG) at $13.40. Corn cheese is a Korean side of corn topped with melted cheese. The site is undated, so check prices before you go.
On the menu (copied from mrkorean.com.au/menu on 9 October 2026):
- Dumplings (6pc) (VG): $11.40
- Corn Cheese (VG): $13.40
- Mozarella Stick (6pc) (VG): $12.80
- Sweet Potato Bites (4pc) (VG): $8.80
Menu says: (VG) marks several items, including Sweet Potato Bites (4pc) (VG) at $8.80, but the menu does not tell us about the kitchen, so ask about shared frying.
