Burbank runs on long days. Early call times, late pickups, lunch breaks squeezed between scenes or shifts. If you’re working at Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, or any of the production companies that fill the Burbank media corridor, or if you live in Burbank and want proper food within striking distance, Shanghai Rose is your place.
We’re in Studio City, just over the hill on Ventura Blvd. From the main Burbank studio lots, you’re looking at 10–15 minutes depending on which pass you take. From residential Burbank, it’s quick and worth every minute.
Burbank has grown into one of the most densely creative zip codes in the country, and the people who work there eat seriously. Production crews, animators, executives, writers’ room staff: these are not people who settle for mediocre food on a lunch break. Shanghai Rose has built a reputation as the dim sum destination for industry workers in the eastern Valley corridor for exactly that reason.
Burbank is Disney/WB territory, and it means something that crew members make the short drive to Studio City specifically for our dim sum on their days off. We’re also a go-to for the Burbank residential community, families who want something better than mall-court Chinese food on a Saturday afternoon.
Take Barham Blvd south over the hill into Studio City. Turn right on Ventura Blvd. We’re at 12050 Ventura, approximately 10 minutes from the main studio gates.
Take the 5 south to the 134 west, exit Cahuenga Blvd, and head south to Ventura Blvd. Turn left and we’re minutes east. Alternatively, take Cahuenga Pass through the Hollywood Hills, scenic, no freeway required.
Plenty of street parking along Ventura Blvd, plus surface lots within walking distance. Far easier than navigating parking in downtown Burbank.
Our kitchen prepares dim sum fresh from open at 11:30 AM through close, seven days a week. No cart running out at noon. No reheated buns from the morning rush. You order, it’s made.
Shanghai Rose regularly hosts film and TV production dinners, wrap parties, and corporate lunches. Our private dining space accommodates groups comfortably with customisable menus. If you’re looking for a restaurant that can handle an industry team dinner; polished setting, serious food, reliable service, reach out and we’ll put together a package.
