Shanghai Zhen Gong Fu

Love their pork soup buns and fried dumplings. Pretty much everything we order is delicious. Friendly staff and all local diners. They have a couple of parking spots behind the restaurant as well.

A no frills Chinese soup dumpling restaurant. Menu size and prices hint that it should be one of the better soup dumpling restaurants, but experience screams budget. Ordered standard pork soup dumpling, Pan fried dumplings, Shanghai lo-mein, these are standard items available at all soup dumpling restaurants. Pork soup dumpling was disappointment. The filling was loose and offered no bite texture to complement the wrapper. Pan fried dumpling very mediocre. Filling was slightly firmer, but skin was not crispy at all. Lo-mein didn't have much flavor, only impression I had was oily. The bill was 31(tax included), not terribly pricey or cheap, but the food was very disappointing. Not really bad, but disappointing given the current 4.5 rating. Given the high rating and the plain decor, I had expectations that it would compare to Yu garden or Nanxiang in food quality, but definitely no

Elmhurst hidden gem. Soup dumplings are amazing. Pepper steak is to die for. Top it off with a homemade iced tea. Service is great, super friendly and accommodating staff.

really great place for Shanghainese food!! we found this place as our Airbnb was close by and decided to give it a try. hands down one of my favourite shanghai/chinese spots in town. the dumplings are definitely made with love and packed with flavour. i would recommend the xiao long bao and pan fried dumplings. these are 10/10! the shanghainese noodles are another must try. super flavourful and filling!

Update 2024: So we ate here on e this y3ar and becam3 ill. The staff is still the same but th3 cl3nasiness is not. My child was really ill and we both decided that it would be our last visit. Amazingly good! Every dish is freshly made. The Sesame chicken amazing. Large portions of food. You are greeted as soon as you come in. The staff and manager are courteous and friendly. Excellent service. You must try it for yourself. Everyone looks so happy while eating. You are going love it here. One of the best restaurants in the city.

Really delicious shanghai food. The vegetable and the ribs go really well with white rice, especially the sticky ribs sauce. Their soup dumpling is good as well. Mapo tofu and aromatic beef are okay. Crispy duck is crispy but not too much meat

Absolutely delicious soup dumplings (xiaolongbao). I’ve been thinking about them ever since. Shrimp dumplings were also among the best I’ve ever had! I preferred the normal soup dumplings to the truffle flavored ones which were more expensive. But even so, it was a fun novelty to try and I haven’t seen truffle soup dumplings anywhere else.

Black truffle dumplings are great. Fan fried pork dumplings were excellent. Got 8 different kids of dim sum; we were happy with everything. Quick, friendly service.
