Q:
When do they do dim sum?
A:
They don't really serve dim sum like you would find at a Cantonese restaurant but they have a few plates you would see at dim sum like shrimp dumplings, sticky rice, and sweet buns. They serve these dishes all day.

Love this place as always. Price did raise a bit because of inflation, but still reasonable. Noodle/Soup dishes are heart-warming and so fresh to have in a cold day, the sauteed/fried dishes are simple and scrumptious, and the pork soup dumplings have slightly thicker flour than other local soup dumplings... I also crave their Chili-Fried Chicken w/ Sichuan Pepper (now $14.95) from time to time. Come here for some authentic Shanghai food!

Oh no 0Aug 18, 2019Previous reviewOne of the most authentic Shanghai restaurants around!!!
They're mainly known for their Soup Dumplings (pork $6.95, crabmeat & pork $7.95), which are superbbb; my new favorite soup dumplings. Love the dough that they use for the dumplings, and of course the meat and broth. I always go back thinking I will only get them, but end up ordering other dishes as well.
It's hard to go wrong w your order, but some other great dishes:
- Sautéed Bok Choy ($7.95): honestly prefer this over all their other greens, like their Sautéed Chinese Watercress ($9.95) and Sautéed Pea Shoots Leaves ($13.95), which are too raw and abrasive for me. The Bok Choy has a soft and savory taste, and makes me feel a little less guilty about the choice of food by slipping some veggies in.
- Chili Fried Chicken w Sichuan Pepper ($11.95): numbingly spicy (literally) b/c of the Sichuan pepper, but crave it once in a while. The chicken is fried so well; crispy on the outside w ample amount of white chicken on the inside, though there are some pieces that don't have as much meat inside for those of you who love the chew on the fried skin.
- Braised Pork Belly ($13.95): some say it's spicier than the Chili Fried Chicken w Shichuan Pepper... My siblings preferred this over the chili chicken b/c it's not numbing. Beware of the hard skin. (I normally just eat the meat and leave the skin out.)
- Pancake Crispy Dough Roll ($4.95): simply put, it's an oily, crispy goodness.
Their green tea is great, and on the house.

Soup dumplings is on the sweeter end of the spectrum but it was very enjoyable!
Love their spicy chili oil - strong n spicy kick for sure!

The food at this place is some of the best Shanghai cuisine that I've eaten outside of Shanghai itself. I absolutely love coming to this place... And every time I bring one of my friends or family, they agree.
While it may not look like much from the outside, don't let it's appearance for you. Like I said, Shanghai restaurant has some of the best food and best service around. Everyone is friendly, the menu is super tight, and you won't regret ordering everything on the menu.
Some of my favorite menu items are:
Wonton soup
Sautéed bok choy
All of the Dumplings (homemade)
Shredded eggplant and pork
Scallion pancakes
Order everything... Try everything... Enjoy everything Yum!Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0

I did try their typical Chinese soup dumpling, but only a few times, since the dough of soup dumpling was too thick.
Tried :
1) Shredded Eggplant w/ garlic - Not what I was expecting in the it had too much Chinese spices - I thought I tasted "Mala"spice. Some may actually love this, but that just personally not for me. I was expecting a very regular stir-fried eggplant with garlic hahaha. The chili sauce it was cooked in was rather watery.
2) Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs- Again, not what I was expecting. Pork ribs were good, on the ribs, meat tender. But the sauce was more soy sauce marinate based, rather than Sweet & Sour.
Both dishes came with rice.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0
529155422Jan 8, 2023I was craving some Chinese food in NJ and stumbled upon this restaurant. It's a bit small inside, but they have a few outdoor tented tables as well.
We were seated quickly on a Sunday afternoon at 1PM. We ordered the sweet and sour pork ribs, string beans, soup dumplings, and pan fried dumplings.
The soup dumplings weren't my favorite. The dough was a bit chewy and dry, and they had minimal broth, but they tasted okay. The string beans and pan fried dumplings were pretty good. The sweet and sour spare ribs were so tender and flavorful!
The only thing I'll say is that the food is a bit on the oilier side, but I didn't mind it too much. I'd definitely come back best if I'm craving Shanghainese food!

Really nice food here - can't complain about a hole in the wall that feels pretty dingy even by Asian cafeteria level standards.
But they can make some good soup dumplings and that's worth coming here for alone. I mean it's not like Ding Tai Fong level (in Asia specifically) kind of stuff but it's about as good as you'll get around this area (and in NYC in general). The honorable mention item though goes to the hot oil spicy dumplings as the flavor is very authentic and has a great kick to it.
The scallion pancakes here were kick ass though. It was not artery clogging greasy shit like what you get in the local takeouts and it had an almost airy quality to it that made it taste super awesome. This is a must get.
The vegetables we ordered were fine and the regular dumplings were okay. But the items I mentioned above are the must gets (the wonton noodles were ok but it's the stuff up top that's worthy of stuffing your face with).
Generally speaking really nice food and the folks here are pretty busy but attentive. If you want decent soup dumplings, come here!

Not much of a dining area with a few outside tables, but the food will blow you away. Soup dumplings are amazing and the pan fried dumplings are definitely homemade. The service is swift and efficient. Must come back for more delicious meals.

The worst take out I've had in a while.
The general taos were like bite size rocks, overcooked with a decent sauce. The beef udon noodles, dumplings, vegetables were all water logged, overcooked and bland.
Order said delivery in 35-40 mins and they were here in 15 mins.
Best suggestion, avoid and take your money elsewhere.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1
