Shanghai Dumpling Shop
What people are saying
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 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.
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 a month. Quality and service are always consistent and the wait is not bad if you come during peak hours. Out of all the Chinese restaurants, I always come back to this place and try something new. The price is affordable, the total is usually around $40-50 for 3 people after tips. Parking is easy and free. Definitely give this place a try and you'll come out in a food coma from their large portions.
Generally good Chinese food! Highly recommend Shanghai Steamed Pork Dumpling, it is so delicious! Chive pancake and sauteed eels are also good. Not recommend spicy wontons, too much flour outside and the meat is not tasty.
Authentic Shanghainese food — the lions head meatballs were made just right with plenty of sauce and rice cakes were just a bit too salty cooked just enough. $9 for pan-fried pork buns are a steal and they taste great too.
