Our Story

Our journey began with a deep passion for the authentic flavors of Shandong, a province in northern China known for its rich culinary history. Inspired by the traditional recipes passed down through generations, Mama brought her homemade dumplings and time-honored dishes from the coastal city of Yantai, China, to Melbourne.

ShanDong MaMa is more than just a restaurant; it's a heartfelt tribute to the simple yet delicious food Mama grew up with. Mama’s dedication to quality and authenticity shines through in every dish. With a commitment to using the freshest ingredients, personally sourced from local markets, each meal reflects our love for our heritage and the joy of sharing food with others.

From the very beginning, our goal has always been to create a warm and welcoming space where guests can experience the true essence of Shandong cuisine, made with care and love by Mama herself. At ShanDong MaMa, we invite you to join us in celebrating tradition, family, and the art of delicious food.
