InShanghai

Long-established Chinese restaurant in the Riverwalk, serving Shanghainese and Cantonese cooking alongside familiar favourites in a central riverside setting.

About InShanghai

InShanghai is one of Durham's longest-serving Chinese restaurants, now settled in the Riverwalk development beside the river in the heart of the city. It serves a broad menu that ranges from familiar Cantonese favourites to more regional Shanghainese dishes, with dim sum and set menus that make it easy for a group to share. The central riverside location is handy for the shops, the bus station and a night out in town.

The restaurant works well for both a relaxed family meal and a larger celebration, with the kind of generous, sharing-friendly menu that Chinese dining does so well. As with any city-centre restaurant, it is worth booking ahead at busy weekend times and confirming current opening hours.
