Old Shanghai Soup Dumplings

This authentic Chinese restaurant serves Shanghai cuisine and it is located in the heart of NJ Korean town. I have been here many times and all the dishes I tried were delicious. They have lunch specials on weekdays that come with hot and sour soup. The soup dumplings are must try. They are always busy but turnover is pretty quick so don’t have to wait for a long time.

Delicious food is even better with excellent friends.  Such a fun day at lunch with my friend and her husband at Old Shanghai Soup Dumplings in Palisades Park, NJ. Obviously their soup Dumplings are amazing, but each dish was better than the next. Their Sticky Rice Shumai may have been my favorite, but the Triple Delight, and Beef Chow Fun were amazing too. It's a cute and fun restaurant, and the service was excellent, and very attentive. Looking forward to our next visit to try the rest of their menu.

As a Hispanic customer, I have to say this place truly impressed me! The flavors are authentic, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The rice was fluffy and delicious, the broccoli and chicken were cooked just right, and everything tasted homemade with care. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel welcome. It’s difficult to find a place like this where everything comes together so well. I’ve tried many spots, but this one stands out. Highly recommend it!

Without exaggeration this was the worst food experience I’ve ever had. My friend and I ordered a number of food items for pick up. Upon taking it back home to eat we both found SEVERAL pieces of hair in our food. The photos attached are only THREE pieces of hair that we actually took a photo of. Please believe me there were several more. Unfortunately, we already begun eating before seeing the hair because it was mixed into the sauce. Of course we went back to the restaurant to which the manager offered to exchange. There’s no way I would ever take food from this place again. There is a major health and safety issue at this restaurant. Absolutely disgusting.

The namesake soup dumplings are absolutely worth it here. In fact, the workers here are so confident you'll order them that they'll set down the small dipping plates with your menu and glass of water. I'm nowhere near an expert when it comes to soup dumplings, but I know what I love about these - thin but expertly wrapped dumpling skins that manage to contain lots of hot, sippable soup and a tasty meat filling. They come six to an order and come to your table in hot, steamy bamboo baskets. On each table, there are pour bottles of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil to make your version of a perfect dipping sauce. I'm also a major fan of the string beans here. They're flash fried in hot wok oil to a perfect tenderness with just a tad of fermented funk. These are far and away my favorite way to enjoy string beans, and Old Shanghai doesn't disappoint. There were a few but major pitfalls with our dinner. One was ordering the beef with peppers as one of our main entrees. We were enticed by the pictures (both on the menu and on the front window when we came in). But in a major catfishing swap out, we were given a platter that was mainly shredded peppers with a little beef. The peppers were also so spicy that we were shoveling mouthfuls of rice with every morsel. That led to the second snag with our meal. We were given a little bowl of rice with that entree, and after chowing quickly through it, we unthinkingly asked for another. At the end of our meal, we nearly choked to find that they'd charged a whopping $2.50 for the tiny serving. Ya'll, I know food costs are rising, but that hurt a little. Those quibbles aside, I'm still dreaming about those soup dumplings and when I can have them again. Service is somewhat cold but frighteningly fast and efficient.

The food here is delicious. However, and this is just a personal preference, some of the pork they use in certain dishes had a very odd texture, such as in the rice cakes with pork dish. Otherwise the food here is absolutely delicious - highly recommend the cucumber salad, soup dumplings, chili shrimp, and their fried rice dishes. On busy days, the restaurant can feel very loud and overstimulating. The salad and soup dumplings came out super fast, but the other dishes took a while.

This place has phenomenal xiaolongbao as always, but the sesame chicken was underwhelming. The sauce is excessively sweet, and the pieces were mostly batter with hardly any meat. Maybe it was just a bad batch, but I wish I had just ordered another platter of soup dumplings.

We always start out with pork soup dumpling and order number of tasteful dishes to share. There are so many great dishes I can’t list them all here. Place is clean with no frills and the service is on point!

I always enjoy dining here. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is cozy, welcoming and pleasant and the servers were very attentive, kind and provided excellent recommendations. The food is always well-prepared and tastes very good. The Honey Grilled Pork Ribs were very juicy and tender. Old Shanghai Soup Dumpling is my list of places that I plan on frequent to visiting because it's that good. :)

We visited on October 28th to celebrate my husband's birthday. We absolutely love this place -- it's about an hour away, so we don't get to go often, but every visit feels like a special treat. Staff is friendly and the food is delicious

Xia Long Bao ~~ Soup dumpling ~ One of the two places that we frequent !!! Have to order the soup dumpling. Probably the reason we go to these Chinese places !!! We had the xialongbao, House Special fried rice and the beef & green onion dishes. We were very disappointed with the beef & green onions since the meat was just too soft and the sauce was bitter(?????). But the fried rice was soooooo good.

I ordered takeout from here a few days ago. I can't speak to their soup dumplings or their authenticity since I went with an American style dish (sesame chicken) but I was satisfied with what I ordered. Their menu had a nice selection of chicken, beef, seafood and noodle dishes and the prices were reasonable. I was craving sesame chicken this particular day. I still haven't been able to find a spot that makes it quite how I like it or as good as NYC Chinese places. The sesame chicken here wasn't particularly crispy but the flavor was decent. It didn't have the depth of the sesame I like and it wasn't as crispy as I prefer but at least it wasn't sweet or ketchupy like some places and the meat wasn't all filler (though there was some filler). The serving was enough to have leftovers which I appreciated. Would I order again? Probably since the price is right, but Still on the hunt for great sesame chicken.

All dishes were the best I have eaten in a while (pork soup dumplings, beef and scallion pancakes, chicken and eggplant, flash fried green beans and chicken noodles). The service was spot on, absolutely no complaints.

Old Shanghai Soup Dumplings - Palisades Park, NJ Old Shanghai has been a longtime favorite for me and my family--we've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The soup dumplings are hands-down the best in the area (I could honestly eat them every day!). I also love that it's BYOB, which makes it perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special celebration with your favorite bottle of wine Some of our must-try dishes: Steamed Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings - absolutely delicious and full of flavor Vegetable Fried Rice - simple, fresh, and perfectly cooked Peking Duck (by the slice) - rich, savory, and crispy Double Cooked Pork Szechuan Style - bold and spicy in the best way Beef Chow Fun - tender beef and chewy noo

Got there 25 minutes before opening that we were about 4 parties behind. No waiting so that was good. They open on time and the place was clean. Waitress were fabulous and very attentive. Foods are good but standard. We are from California.

Tasty place, and particularly enjoyable on a weekday during lunch. Old Shanghai is situated on a main street in Palisades Park. Paid parking is available on side streets. There were plenty of spots when I arrived. The aroma outside is phenomenal, partly coming from this restaurant and likely the one next door. Plenty of tables were available during lunch on a weekday, service was attentive and food came out fast. It was overall a great experience. The tofu noodles were interesting to try, but not much flavor there. I poured my dipping sauce on top to liven it up. Sesame chicken was ok, but I really just got that for my daughter. The soup dumplings are excellent! The crab and pork combo one is particularly tasty. We also enjoyed the marinated jellyfish too. Salt and pepper squid was another solid choice. Crisp, flavorful and tender. I'd definitely return if in the area.

The location of this place was very nice. The people were very welcoming. There is not a parking lot however I found plenty of parking around the area. I'm going to start off with the soup dumplings. They were my favorite and full of flavor. Every dish was so good the beef chow fun was light and full of flavor. The sesame chicken was crispy and so good. The house special fried rice was delicious. I have no complaints of every dish that we ordered here. Everything was light and full of flavor. I am definitely coming back here and have told a couple of people I know to come visit this place. They have so many options on the menu. Thank you for a great experience and I will be returning very soon.

The soup dumpling is the best and the pan fry bun is excellent, the servers is very good too. I eat here also every week.

Excellent Chinese for Sunday night. I got Soup Dumplings, chicken and cashew and Bok Choy. Everything was fresh and delicious. Nice potions. A small white rice comes with every entree. Not American Chinese, but close. Try the soup dumplings.

Much better experience the second time around! Again ordered take out but placed order online. There is $1 surcharge for doing so. They automatically add tip but you can adjust. The only downside for ordering online is that the time the order takes is not accurate. The default seemed to be 30 minutes but took half that time. We ordered the pan fried dumplings, shrimp wonton soup, eggplant with garlic sauce, udon with beef, and triple delight. For the $65 or so that we spent we got a lot of food! The pan fried pork buns were so good! I definitely prefer these over their soup dumplings. The shrimp wonton soup was different. The shrimp "wontons" are similar to shumai. What the shrimp was wrapped in though didn't really hold up in the soup. The eggplant with garlic sauce wasn't that spicy. The beef in the udon and triple delight was nicely cooked, not chewy or fatty.

Stopped here for lunch. Staff were friendly and happy to give recommendations. Very clean inside and spacious. Food came out very quick! We enjoyed the cucumber salad, crab and pork soup dumplings, pork buns, and veggie lo mein!

TLDR: the best soup dumpling spot in the area. My go-to on a cold day. This place gets EXTREMELY busy on weekends and dinner time. It is very hectic and lively as most of the customers are families or large friend groups. Soup dumplings have the perfect skin, flavorful soup and very fresh meat. I prefer the one with crab meat. MUST GET. Pan fried pork dumplings: okay flavor- not the best I've had but still good. Pancake with sliced beef: extremely flakey with a generous portion of beef and great flavor. MUST GET Braised Fried Gluten: extremely flavorful broth that is soaked up by the fried gluten mixed with a bunch of other ingredients. A great appetizer. MUST GET Spicy beef and tripe: spice levels vary depending on the day so be warned. Might not be worth the gamble for some people House fried rice: perfect amount of Smokey wok flavor with a generous portion of shrimp. MUST get

Always spot on. Great soup dumplings, scallion pancake and spicy won ton. Service is quick. May be a short wait on weekends.

Sesame chicken and eggplant with garlic sauce are pretty your typical Chinese take-out dishes. Avoid ordering them. The egg plant was sweet and too much starch. Seasame chicken had chunks of just friend flour crumbs. Dumplings were consistent with past experience. So if you were here for the dumplings, you won't be disappointed.

Delicious soup dumplings! The best in the area, I'd say. I used to like another soup dumpling place in Fort Lee but I think this is better. My go-to for soup dumplings. Their other food is delicious as well.

It's always good to be back at OSSD to enjoy a belly full meal. We were in for a weekend lunch, it was packed as expected, but we got a table without waiting. Restaurant was clean and tidy. We ordered some of favorite dishes beef tripe, eggplant with garlic sauce, chicken broccoli, gluten tofu and of course the soup dumplings. The dishes were served very quickly. All the items had amazing taste and flavor.

This was my first time having soup dumplings and I'm glad that I enjoyed them at Old Shanghai. The restaurant is located on the busy, and highly visible, Broad Avenue. You could tell that this restaurant has lots of customers, because they have a large waiting area bench, as soon as you enter. The staff was very professional in getting us seated quickly and I enjoyed the wall scenery on one of their large walls. I cannot give enough kudos to the owner, who remained at our table, answering all of our questions, and gave amazing recommendations. Another thing that I appreciated was... photos for every menu item. It helped us ask questions and try new selections. We started with complimentary Oolong Tea and a spicy Cucumber Salad. Both were very good starters. Every single entree was DELICIOUS and thoroughly enjoyed: Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings (I enjoyed every bite of these dumplings and the entire process of preparing them was entertaining), Vegetable Dumplings, and Eggplant with garlic sauce. Now, there was one other item, but I forgot to take its photo. It was the Beef with Chili Pepper. Unless you are a black belt spicy food consumer, think twice about ordering this bad boy. I tried one chopstick full sample and now is when the feeling is returning to my tongue. The service, alone, was five stars. Staff members kept our water glasses full, quickly brought out our food, and accommodated all of our needs. I highly recommend Old Shanghai and will definitely return for great food and exemplary service.

Food was amazing. Loved the special fried rice and beef chow fun. The string beans were also one of my favorites. Will definitely have to go back to try more dumpling menu items.

Came back to try some other dishes and soup dumplings were just as good as I last remembered Veggie and pork wontons 3.5/5: soup and wontons itself was quite bland but I liked that it was meaty Double cook pork 4/5: this was delicious but you def need to pair with rice

We had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The staff treated customers with no respect and were extremely rude. It was very disappointing to receive such poor service.

Generous and authentic lunch menu. The hot and sour soup contained a healthy mixture of water bamboo, black fungus, and tofu. The scallion beef could easily fill with three bowls of rice. The noodles for the soupy jalapeños with pork slices and the dry with scallion and oil all had good chewy texture. The soup dumplings had very thin skin, showing the mastery in making and requiring the mastery in eating them. Ambiance was nostalgic with splash pictures of Zhejiang province small towns on one side and black-and-white old photos of Shanghai buildings on the other.

This spot is located on a busy/Main Street with a lot of food options. I'm glad I chose this spot as it really delivered with tasty dishes. My family and I love soup dumplings. We have our tried and true spot but on Feb. 19th (President's Day), we were all off from work and decided to try a new place. When you walk in, there is a waiting room which indicated to me that they usually have a wait time and loyal customers. 1st good sign. We were here for a long time and the staff did not rush us. One of the waiters actually dropped a glass and the rest of the staff went around making sure no nearby customers were injured/apologized for the scare. They also checked in on the waiter and helped him clean up. Very nice and attentive staff. We ordered the steamed crab meat and pork soup dumplings and wow the broth was soooo delicious. It was our favorite part of the meal. It confirmed for us that we will be visiting again. The fried udon was also delicious. The bok choy wasn't overcooked and whatever sauce was drenching the noodles was tasty. The roast pork fried rice was good. They nailed every dish we ordered. I didn't taste any of the house special fried rice because I ended up being too full but my mom and sister were fighting to take the leftovers home so it was also a hit. I think they forgot and then realized we ordered the Peking duck because it was brought last even though it was an appetizer. When I did eat it, it was cold so I can't really judge it accurately. I would order it again and just hope I get it before my entree arrives. My family and I will be visiting again though I wouldn't be surprised if it is more packed than our first visit. I think we got lucky with the holiday. I don't see a place with food as this good not having a lot of customers.

I decided to come here to grab lunch with family before heading into the city and this was meal that could have been skipped. Everything we ordered was bland, except the xiao long bao soup dumplings. There are definitely better places to go for an overall food experience, however, like many soup dumpling places, only the soup dumplings are worth trying. I recommend only getting the soup dumplings, specifically the crab filling ones.

been craving crab soup dumpling so i tried old shanghai's again and their soup buns are definitely soupy and flavorful! the skin is thin and overall it was great. the duck in the bun is a tiny piece of meat but its only $3.50 so i guess thats good? will have to come back to dine in to try other things.

I love this place - it has become my go-to place whenever I want a good, comforting slurp of soup dumplings. Owned by former manager from soup dumplings plus, their menus are nearly identical... but while the OG got a bit too pricey and slipped a bit in quality and taste, this relative newcomer is hitting all the marks! Parking is probably the worst thing about this place as you'll have to circle around a few times to find a spot, but your effort will totally be worth it. Crab and pork soup dumplings (5/5, APP) - Super tasty. Perfect with the sweet black vinegar and I'd add a dollop of their spicy chili crisp oil (on the table) Spicy Sichuan beef tripe w/ peanuts (5/5, APP) - my wife doesn't even eat spicy and she loves eating this! It's probably our second favorite app after the XLB. Great chewy texture that's not too tough, fragrant, savory, spicy, umami, and even slightly sweet, this is where it's at! Order it, Thank me later. Chicken with Mixed Vegetables (4/5, Main) - Nice counterpart to spicy dishes, it has great chew and generous amount of crunchy vegetables to offset the protein. I'm a fan of this place - probably my favorite Chinese spot in the area along with the incredible Xiao Chun Dian lamb skewer place few blocks down!

Haven't been here in a while (a couple years) but it's still an all time favorite. Soup dumplings are always good. Jelly fish is good - large, long pieces, good amount of sesame oil and flavors/garlic. Beef scallion pancakes were good- wish there was a little more hoisin sauce. Service was quick, bathrooms were clean.

delicious asian cuisine! this is my favorite place to get soup dumplings. the steamed pork soup dumplings always taste delicious and are well made. it's fresh with great flavor. the texture is right too. the pork isn't slimy or fatty when biting into the dumpling which is a common thing i've experienced with other soup dumplings. The food is good for both take out and dine in. The other dishes are tasty as well. The pork buns are delicious. It's hard not to order more! The service is good and the atmosphere is a nice. it is a nice place to have a tasty meal.

Soup dumplings were outstanding. Everything else was standard. Atmosphere was basic and clean. Staff was friendly.

Got takeout from here and I think the food is pretty good. I ordered a pork soup dumplings, shrimp fried rice, chicken w/ chili peppers, and shredded pork fried noodles. The soup dumplings, noodles, and fried rice were very good. The chicken I didn't like as much because there was too much batter and the chicken itself wasn't very tender. Price was reasonable and everything was packaged well.

Delicious soup dumplings, do not miss these as they are the best around. Food is also very good. Attentive and fast service. Enjoy!

Great service and food. Had the soup dumplings, Peking duck and broccoli and chicken. They provided complimentary green tea. Everything was delicious but the soup dumplings weren't as soupy as I would have liked.

This is our go-to place when In Pal Park! The food is always delicious, and served with a smile!

One of my favorite restaurants in Fort Lee. Their food is flavorful, the meats are tender, and they have an extensive menu. Although on the more expensive side, sharing family style is a great option for this restaurant.

I needed some soup dumplings and a lot of the spots that serve it in the area are overrated. I saw I had Old Shanghai Soup Dumpling bookmarked so we stopped in on a Saturday at around 2:30. There were still a lot of tables dining at that time. We ordered the crab soup dumplings, pan fried pork buns, spicy house special fried rice, and the crispy chow mein with beef. The soup dumplings were pretty solid. Skin was good, as was the filling. They also leave a whole jar of chili crisp at each table, which I loved. Pork buns were pork buns. They were fine but it's probably because I'm just not a huge fan of these but hubby loved them. Fried rice had plenty of ingredients and again, chili crisp elevated the flavors. I also enjoyed the chow mein but you have to eat it quick or else it'll get soggy from all the gravy. The only thing I didn't like was that it came with a bunch of celery, which I didn't know. But I did appreciate that there was a ton of veggies overall (Napa cabbage and carrots) but they still didn't skimp on the beef. Looking forward to my next visit!

Soup dumpling is the bomb, I would say comparable to NY Chinatown. Soupy, does not break, thin enough not to taste too doughy. It's now my go to place for soup dumpling,

This restaurant is alwayss packed but I'd still wait because the food is sooo good and it's not expensive! I love their soup dumplings - tried the regular pork ones and the crab and they're both delicious- thin skin on the outside and the filling is juicy with enough soup! I also love the crab and tofu dish - it's perfect with rice!! The rice cakes were chewy and had good flavor! Will be back for more soupy dumps!

Mostly, the food was good. I didn't care for the stir-fried udon. Both the crab meat pork and regular pork dumplings were good, but I wish they had other options. Chili pepper dishes are super hit, so beware. Beef dishes were very tender. The only thing is that whenever I go to Chinese restaurants, they tend to seem angry the way they talk. Also, one of the waitresses was coughing all over the place without a mask. I had to drop a star for this. Otherwise, it would have been a solid 4 star.

Busy, busy, busy. That's what our impression was after dining here. We came by on a Saturday evening at 6pm and the restaurant was bustling from the word "Go!". Waiters were flying around, literally, but, luckily, we didn't have to wait for a table and were able to get situated immediately, however a wait did begin to develop soon after. Also, this restaurant does not have a parking lot, so be prepared to search for a spot on the street. The restaurant's menu was very typical of most Shanghainese restaurants, highlighted by soup dumplings, cold dishes and noodles. However, if you were to look at another Shanghainese restaurant's menu in Fort Lee or NYC and compare it, chances are the menu items are nearly identical, so if you eat the cuisine frequently, you won't be surprised by anything here. We pretty much ordered what we normally order when we go to a Shanghainese restaurant, which, OF COURSE, includes an order of soup dumplings, specifically the Steamed Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings. In addition, we also ordered the Braised Fried Gluten, Crispy Noodle w. Chicken, Pork Fried Dumplings and Pan Fried Pork Buns. Everything was solid and good --- to me, at least. The soup dumplings were right on with other restaurants we've been to and so was the rest of the items that we ordered. Maybe the soup dumplings' soup could have been hotter, but that's a small gripe. My wife on the other hand had a different opinion of it all, although her opinion might have been swayed by the lack of good, attentive service. Ultimately, everything felt a bit rushed as waiters were whizzing by, but she felt the flavors were off and not on par with other Shanghainese restaurants. Maybe it was the experience where things felt fast, but, the food IS decent here IMO. Honestly, I couldn't tell if the flavors were off. Everything we ordered tasted pretty typical like other spots. You're not going to go home and dream about the food here, but if you're craving Shanghainese food and soup dumplings, I think this restaurant can hit the spot. Just show up a bit earlier.

Came here for dinner on the weekend. Waited around 10 minutes to be seated for a party of 2. We got the pan fried pork buns, sautéed chicken with chili pepper, and stir fried udon with vegetable. The pork buns came out hot and were so juicy. Would definitely recommend. The chicken came with a bowl of white rice. It was very spicy and delicious. The udon was good but nothing special. For dessert, we got the pumpkin cake with bean paste filling. It was warm and delicious. I left feeling very satisfied and would come again.

One of my favorite Shanghai place. There was a slight wait on a Saturday night. The soup dumplings are delicious here. I would skip the spicy beef tripes as the flavor was not that great. The rice cake with cabbage and pork was delicious. Pumpkin cake and fried buns are one of my favorites. Quick service and they refilled on tea a few times. However, one of the waitress has an attitude. Bathroom was clean, I always appreciate places that separates male and female restrooms.

Old Shanghai Soup Dumpling has become my go-to spot for soup dumplings. Parking can be tricky, but I've had decent luck parking on side streets and taking a walk. My last visit was with my sister for lunch. It was a Thursday and it was not too busy but that might've been because it was a rainy day. I've seen the place get pretty packed at times. The soup dumplings are great; the skin of the dumpling isn't too thick and the soup/filling is very flavorful. That's not surprising given the name of the establishment. However, the restaurant offers much more than just soup dumplings. I haven't tried _everything_ on the menu, but I have tried a decent amount. I've never been disappointed by any of the food. Aside from soup dumplings some of my favorite things to order are the scallion noodles and the beef scallion pancake. The noodles are simply garnished but the flavor works so well. The noodles have a good chew to them and ever since my friend introduced me to this dish I've ordered it every time I come. The beef scallion pancake is also very tasty. The scallion pancake has a nice crunch and the beef is seasoned and cooked well. Service can be a bit gruff but it's not too bad. I'm certain I'll be back here sooner rather than later.

Hands-down, the best Chinese food and soup dumplings in New Jersey. The soup dumplings are amazing. I highly recommend this place.

On a whim a friend and I chose this place. Efficient service although english's not the first language. The food superb.. Lo Mein was Delightfully delicious and not oily. Totally different than any other.
