Shanghai Time

We came here as a party of 20 people+ after an event nearby. The restaurant was so kind and was able to accommodate our huge group. We ate at tables near each other which also made it easier for ordering and settling the bill. We really enjoyed our dishes, especially the soup dumplings, wonton in chili oil, shiitake mushroom and bok choy, beef fried rice, and chicken. Our friends all loved the dishes they ordered.

It is very difficult to find non-meat soup dumplings. I'm glad we came. Honestly, everything was good. We had the crab, shrimp soup dumplings. Both were good. To eat, take a small bite on the top and suck the soup before taking bigger bites. My husband had the beef noodles. It, too, was delicious. We had the rice pudding for dessert. I'm glad we did. This is way better than the Korean pudding desserts we have in Texas.

We showed up about 30 min to closing and they had no issue with seating us, as well as a couple other tables that arrived after us. The Kung Pao Chicken was delicious and spicy! I ordered the soup dumpling sampler and each one was delicious as were the steamed buns. We would definitely eat here again when in the area. There were so many things on the menu that I would’ve loved to try if we had a lot more time.

Great service, all the staff were very kind and accommodating. If you decide to come here the soup dumplings are a must try!! I wish we got the pan fried ones as well The best item was definitely the soup dumplings, then the Shanghai stir fried rice cake, and lastly the pork chop. I probably wouldn’t come back but for being in such a touristy location, the soup dumplings really took me by surprise. These are some of the most flavorful soup dumplings I’ve had with a nice wrapper texture, something you don’t always see in other spots.

Ordered for pick up for lunch with coworkers. My order was ready when I got there but two of my coworkers had to wait a bit. There were a lot of people waiting to pick up their orders and also people dining in. The space is a bit small and seemed like there were a lot of takeout orders. I got the shredded beef with hot peppers udon and garlic cucumber salad. They charged me a $1 for chili oil. The noodles were oily but flavored well. The garlic cucumber salad wasn’t good at all. It tasted bitter and was not flavorful at all. Coworkers seemed to enjoy their foods esp the pan fried pork soup dumplings.

My wife is Shanghainese, she approved the food in the restaurant. Maybe the best option in the East Coast if you’d like to try authentic Shanghainese cuisine. I personally loved them so much, enjoyed every bite of them, much better than I expected.

(12/2024) I visited on a chilly December day and decided to warm up with some hot soup dumplings. I also tried the house special fried rice, which came with shrimp and chicken, though the chicken was a bit too chewy for my taste. It wasn’t anything extraordinary, but it was still decent. I also ordered both crab and pork, as well as regular pork soup dumplings. The broth was a bit on the sweet side for me, so I added some of the spicy chili sauce they had on the table, which was absolutely delicious. Check out my video for more details. The total for these three items came to $31.52.

Very good restaurant. Our family went here since my mother likes dim-sum. Here was really great with good foods. And especially, when we found our pork dim-sum was not cooked well, they responded professionally and changed into a new one. Eventually, we enjoyed our meal at here very well.
