About Shang Lamb Soup

This unassuming counter-service spot in Hurstville simmers Northern Chinese comfort straight down to the bone. Regulars pile in for the milky lamb bone broth—ladled boiling hot over springy potato noodles, tender cuts, or offal. Pair a bowl with smoky skewers dusted in cumin and chili flakes, or gnaw on crispy lamb ribs fresh from the heat. Utensils come right from the self-serve station, alongside generous pots of pepper and chili oil to tune the broth to taste.

  • Signature Lamb Soup: Long-simmered bone broth packed with tender meat, offal, and chewy potato noodles.
  • Cumin Lamb Skewers: Charred skewers and crispy ribs dusted generously with cumin and dried chili.
  • No-Frills Dining: Unpretentious counter ordering, rapid service, and an affordable spread built for quick dining.
