This is hands down one of the best Shanghai restaurants for lunch in the bay. I've tried other popular ones and their food is nowhere close to this place. The sticky rice roll is made to order where other places were already made beforehand so it's usually dry and hard texture. The Chinese donut is crispy outside and soft inside vs other places are just full of dough in and out. Their xiao long bao is not bad where the meat and soup lack the fresh flavors but still better than most restaurants.Their savory soymilk is always consistent and just enough flavor and sweet soymilk is also good. They have most of the traditional Shanghainese dishes and I've been coming here for lunch at least once...
Shanghai Dumpling has great soup and pan fried dumplings! Best Shanghainese food in the area. They have a huge menu that caters to all the best Chinese food including dim sum on top of all their other food. Their lotus wrapped sticky rice is great considering its the only place that does night dim sum in the area. The workers are kind and quite easygoing. Vegetarian options: There is the option to eat rice with the non-meat dishes like spicy tofu or green beans but I wouldn’t say it’s vegetarian focused or a great vegetarian experience
This shop is sadly permanently closed since 5/30/24. It was my go to for delicious Shanghai dumplings (xiao long bao), potstickers, the freshest fried bread (you tiew), sweet soy milk, and ja jiang mein. So sad I didn't get to say goodbye and eat here one last time before they closed. Will always have such happy memories of coming here with family <3
The sweet snd sour chicken is incredible. The chicken fried rice is bland and the chicken came out raw. We sent it back to get cooked further and it was still raw. The potstickers were undercooked and soggy. The shanghai soup pork dumplings were alright, not really authentic. They are clearly frozen.

I can’t really understand why other people are giving this place 4 stars or better? The food is totally unimpressive. The woman cleaning was wearing gloves to protect herself… I watched her clean a table, then come over and handle my dishes and food with the same dirty gloves. Yuck.
The soup dumplings here are so good. We had the pork soup dumplings and beef with bok choy and mushrooms, which was also very good. I would recommend everything here. Vegetarian options: They have many vegetable dishes and tofu substitute for many meat dishes.
The dumplings are very good. Other dishes were good. We didn't get the stir-fry garlic green beans this time and regretted that; they are good, too. The restaurant could use a bit of brightening up, but it's clean.
One of the best dumplings I’ve ever had! The food is TASTY and FRESH. Incredibly affordable meals. Will definitely be returning.

It appears that this place is now closed. Not sure if they are going to reopen again. But their last day was 5/30/24.
Great soup dumplings with thin dough and tasty meat. Other dishes are mediocre.
