    You can expect great dumplings of the xiao long bao variety here. It’s a Taiwanese restaurant, but the dumplings are just as good here in Shanghai. The place is kind of like an upscale snack bar. Noodle and wonton dishes are available here too. Truly bite sized dumplings are available, meaning that you can pop the whole thing in your mouth and experience a juice explosion.

    Neighborhood: Jing An

    Cuisine: Chinese Dumplings

    54-60 Wujiang Rd Nanjing Xi Lu Shanghai
    This is a street vendor that has a global reputation. There are several locations where outlets operate. The vendor specialties are sage enhanced shengjian or fried soup dumplings. An idea is to pierce the dough to suck out the soup. That’s your appetizer. You can then use sweet vinegar as a dipper and enjoy the main course of filling and dough. Dumplings are traditionally served with ginger infus ... read more >

    Eating at Dong Bei Ren is an experience and not just because of the dumplings. The Shanghainese cuisine is great here. Candied bananas, cumin enhanced stir fried lamb and sweet and sour fish are three items that you might enjoy from the menu. This is Northern cuisine at its finest. Plus, the staff are enthusiastic and eccentric. In fact, they dance. You’d swear you were in Turkey watching whirling ... read more >

    +86 21 5050 4888 ext. 6718
    This is a high class restaurant chain, and their dumplings (of the xiao long bao variety) are small and tasty. The xiao long bao are made with fresh ingredients and the staff are accommodating and it’s a great venue for a romantic meal. That’s as much to do with the classy and elegant décor as anything else. You’ll find authentic Shanghainese cuisine here, often with a contemporary twist.

    90 Huanghe Lu near Beijing Lu Shanghai
    +86 21 6327 6878
    This dumpling shop in Shanghai gets so much business that its small size can’t handle its popularity. However, standing in line is worth the wait. The cheap and delicious pork dumplings are small but probably the best menu item. Buy plenty of them once you reach the top of the line. It’s not an impulse buy if you’ve waited as long as this. These Xiao long bao are smaller than the large dumplings s ... read more >
