    As a local Shanghaiist for more than 25 years, I appreciated the Shanghai style dumpling here. I can say it's one of the top three (Top 1 could be) Shanghai dumpling in the US. Very traditional taste.

    My Shanghai dumplings had barely any soup in them, which would have definitely made them better. Quite tasty overall tho & affordable!

    Pan fried dumplings are too bread-heavy, little raw; steamed dumplings are very tasty! Fried noodles are palatable, usually a bit busy on Sundays!

    Xiao long bao didn't have enough broth in it; meat was tasty. Clay pot with tofu and veggies were really good and fresh.

    Come after 2pm to avoid long wait time. Must try: xia long bao, crispy shanghai noodles, and spicy garlic eggplant.

    The sautéed string beans are delicious. The soup dumplings were a good value but not much soup inside and flavor fell flat.

    The prices went way up in the past month ... Xiao long bao are now $9.95, used to be $6.95! Still worth the wait for a table though.

    The red bean pancakes are fantastic! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    All the dumplings, pot stickers, and pan baos are delish with the vinegar sauce! Ask for more if you don't get enough!

    Dumplings are warmly reviewed. However, speaking on behalf of their entire other food items, they're HORRIFIC. You're welcome, from the past.

    I wouldn't come back again if I had any choice. Ordered How Foo and it came up with pieces still frozen with Ice. Obviously it was defrosted. They took back to redo it but served again still with Ice

    Xlb were meh; recommend going to the Richmond instead if you can. Soup and rice were too bland and needed extra salt.
