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.
This page answers one question: what can you order for under fifteen dollars around Chadstone, with the price on the page rather than a guess? It covers three places, one in Chadstone and two next door in Oakleigh, and every price below is copied from the menu the venue published.
We checked each place against two independent sources, then read the menu page itself. Those sites are undated, so treat the prices as a snapshot and confirm before you go.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steamed dumplings and soup | Shanghai Red | Shao Mai (3pcs) | $10.80 |

Shanghai Red — 1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone VIC 3148
On Shanghai Red’s menu PDF, Shao Mai (3pcs) is priced at $10.80. Shao mai is an open-topped steamed dumpling, usually filled with pork. The same menu prints Wonton in Soup (6pcs) at $12.80, which is wontons served in broth. AGFG lists Shanghai Red as Child Friendly and Takeaway, and the site is undated, so hedge on currency.
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
The move: Read the menu PDF first, because the soup and the shao mai both sit under the ceiling on its printed prices.
