Soup Dumpling Plus

This restaurant has the best soup dumplings ! They melt in your mouth and you will want to have more !! Silky !!! Tasty!! Yummylicious !! The rest of the food is phenomenal too, and one of my favourites is the chicken and Chinese eggplant. Every dish that comes out of the kitchen looks phenomenal. For those who are adventurous with their food this place will hit the jackpot for you. I stick to things I know I like. Creature of habit. The staff is friendly and courteous. Not much atmosphere. This is a place you come to eat phenomenal food and go. Always leave satisfied. Never disappointed. Come and try !!!!

Food was absolutly amazing, especially if you add the spice to the soup—but be aware, it’s really hot! I ordered the shredded pork cabbage shredded noodle soup and pork dumplings—both were excellent and full of flavor. Service was on top of everything. There’s a menu by the entrance you can check out before coming in, and once seated, you’ll fill out your order on a paper sheet. The atmosphere was a bit noisy, but honestly we didn’t mind—we came for the food. Tables were clean, and the staff made sure to clear them right away as soon as a customer relieves, so they’re ready for the next guest. Street parking was availlable but tight, there is lot under the shopping center. Everything looked clean and organized. We didn’t try any vegetarian dishes, but we saw some on the menu.

This is my go-to spot for soup dumplings. They’re just as delicious as the ones I’ve had in the city, but at better prices and without the stress of driving across the bridge or navigating through the city. It was a holiday today, so the lunch special wasn’t available, but if you visit Monday through Friday, the lunch special is a great deal. We’ve yet to try anything here that we didn’t enjoy. Some of our regular favorites include: soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, hot and sour soup (which is free with the lunch special), beef with scallions, eggplant with chicken, and rice cake with chicken. The food is always fresh, and the service is friendly and quick. The menu even includes photos to help with your choices, and they give you a pen and paper to mark off your selections. 10/10, will always highly recommend!

Don’t let the name “Soup Dumpling” fool you. This place is far more than that. Thus far, I have tried their signature dumpling, fried rice, hot and sour soup and stir fry eggplant. They were all superb and I was looking at other tables’ spreads and I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes. If you are looking for a Chinese restaurant that serves respectable Chinese cuisine that’s better than takeouts but not willing to pay the premium for the modern upscale cuisine, then this is it. The only downside is finding a table during peak hours as this place gets very crowded. Rightfully so! I highly recommend this restaurant to any Chinese food aficionados.

Everything was excellent. We had the pan fried pork bun which was perfection. That was followed by soup dumplings- also amazing. Removed on to chicken and broccoli & Roast prim fried rice. It did not disappoint!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 - Absolutely Outstanding! Soup Dumpling Plus in Fort Lee is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and treated like family—thanks in large part to the incredible manager, Andy. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality truly elevated our visit. We tried a variety of dishes, and every single one was outstanding. The shrimp and pork soup dumplings were perfectly juicy and flavorful—just the right balance of delicate wrapper and rich broth. The crispy noodles had the ideal crunch and came topped with a generous helping of perfectly cooked vegetables and protein. The beef with scallions was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor, and the sesame chicken had that perfect crisp and sweetness without being overly saucy. To top it all off, the Yeung Chow fried rice was absolutely packed with flavor and had the perfect texture—not greasy, just delicious. Andy came by our table multiple times to make sure everything was just right, and it was clear he genuinely cares about every customer having a great experience. That kind of service is rare these days. If you’re in Fort Lee or anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop by Soup Dumpling Plus. You won’t be disappointed. This place is a true gem!

Best shrimp fried rice and scallion noodles I’ve ever had. My beef and broccoli was also delicious. No frills over here! Just really good food. Andy- I think it was Andy- took care of us and checked in at the end of meal. Cozy spot with great food.

When we moved to the area, we were looking for good Chinese food and specifically, soup dumplings. We came from an area in Central NJ where there was a big Asian population, so we figured that finding good Asian food in Fort Lee wouldn't be that hard. A few weeks after discovering Soup Dumpling Plus a few years ago, I happened to see them highlighted in a video I saw online. The restaurant gets pretty busy, so if you go at peak times, I'd prepare for a wait, but they usually get people in and out pretty quickly. Sometimes the staff moves a bit quickly too which can cause missed orders or your table sitting waiting for drinks a little longer than you'd like, but overall, the food is good and everyone usually has a good time. 8.5/10 overall!

Truly great Chinese food. The staff is efficient. The food is cooked fresh so takes a bit to come out. Not a large place and can be busy on weekends. Expect a wait. Would love to go back

Its a small packed brightly lite place. We had the soup dumplings, the steam mushroom and veggie buns, pork pan fried buns, the chicken date soup and, beef roll, cold dishes tripe and cucumbers. I will put in the order of what I thought the best was that we had today: chicken date soup, beef roll, cucumbers, soup dumplings, pan fried buns, tripe and then mushroom buns. The soup to me was the best because it was so flavorful the chicken so tender and reminded me of being in flushing ny and getting the herbal chicken soup on a cold day, its comfort food. Will definitely come back again and trying other dishes.

Located in Fort Lee, New Jersey, this restaurant is located inside a building that has other restaurants and businesses. Parking is available through the garage, which is located on the bottom floor or through street parking. We got really lucky because we came during the weekend and was able to find parking upon entering the garage. Thankfully, we got seated right away despite it being the weekend. After getting seated, menus were provided along with a paper and pencil to indicate which items we wanted to order. There was a little hiccup with an order we placed, which was the Beef with String Beans, but the staff took care of it right away. The soup dumplings' skin had the right amount of thickness and did't rip as easily when it was lifted from the basket. Everything tasted delicious and there were no complaints. If I'm in the area, I would probably come here again if I'm craving soup dumplings.

Excellent food, fast and friendly service, with a divey atmosphere. Highly recommend the pork soup dumplings, sesame chicken, and egg fried rice!

So glad a local spot is getting the recognition it deserves!! We came on a weekday afternoon to avoid the weekend rush since there's usually a long wait then. Service was great, food was delicious as always. The soup dumplings - both pork and crab - are so delicious and flavorful. The pan fried buns are also perfectly juicy and pair great with the scallion pancake. Cucumber salad was good, maybe I'd have added a little chili crunch but very tasty still. A must try spot for good Chinese dim sum!

It's been many years since I've been here but my friends and I were looking to do lunch last weekend and I suggested we go here and we were all thrilled we did. Every item was cooked to perfection and the flavors were great. Service was kind and accurate but rushed. The restaurant is quite small so there will be a wait.

Small place that gets crowded very easily!!! Understandably so...this place is a small gem!! The six of us arrived and were seated within 10 minutes. It should be known that they won't seat you until your whole party arrives. The food was amazing!! The crab meat and pork dumplings is a must get!! Ordered a bunch of other dishes that came out very quickly, served hot and was delicious.

Fort Lee, NJ - super busy and chaotic on a weekend, and parking is a biatch. It actually kinda stresses me out to eat here, but if you can brave the crowds and the tight/hard to find parking spots (street or there is also a garage under the restaurant building), the Shanghaiese-Chinese food is authentic and delicious. Love the ease of the dim sum-style menu where you can check off the items you wish to order even as you're waiting to be seated, and hand it to the server the minute your table is ready, to ensure swift delivery of food to fill your already rumbling belly. The namesake soup dumplings are rightfully quite good though not the best I've had. I've enjoyed most things I've tried here so recommend being broad and adventurous in your pickings, and eschew the small selection of ordinary American-Chinese offerings you can get anywhere like beef with broccoli or General Tso's chicken. They turn over tables fast and are eager to get you in and out. The food is great but it's just not a relaxing dining experience unless you come at a slow time like weekdays during the day, hence 4 stars not 5.

overall one of the best spots I had in northern jersey area. i say this bc ny is right across the bridge and doesn't compare to some areas in chinatown/flushing, but for a local spot in fort lee, its very good. all the dishes were delicious and the service is quick which i like. ill def be back again.

After reading some of the reviews, we decided to give this place a try. They offer lunch specials Mondays through Fridays. We came on a weekend so that option was not available. Food came out pretty quickly. All the dishes were good. The appetizer tofu dish (called Four Happiness) was really good. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant is on the second level, above the street level parking. Parking spaces are limited.

This is one of our go-to Chinese places in Bergen county, and we dine here probably once every month. We always get the soup dumplings, chicken soup, hot and sour soup, a sautéed vegetable dish, and a main dish. Service is fantastic with a very attentive and friendly staff. The decor is not fancy but clean and comfortable - like you'd find in Flushing or Chinatown, one providing authentic Chinese cuisine at a great value. It gets quite busy many nights (especially the weekend) so expect to wait a little if you are going at peak hours.

I've been here a couple of times and the place is always packed and loud. Soup dumplings are always ordered and always delicious. The shrimp udon, beef with chili, and hot and spicy fried rice are also really good. I wanted to like the beef noodle soup but the broth lacked flavor and only tasted of the heat from the pepper. Staff are really helpful and service is fairly quick.

Soup Dumpling Plus was so good! We were in the area looking for a place to have lunch and decided to try Soup Dumpling Plus. I've had soup dumplings before in the area and this is by far the best place to get your XLB fix! They're located in a little plaza with free parking, if you're able to snag a spot, or can park on the street (meter parking). The staff is super nice & allowed us to bring our dog to eat here for lunch, which I appreciate!! What we ordered: -Crab + pork soup dumplings -Pork soup dumplings -Pan fried pork buns -hot & sour soup (part of lunch menu) -fried rice -beef lo mein -pan fried noodles Everything was really good! I really loved both soup dumplings. Surprisingly, the other food was delicious, as well. I typically don't like ordering anything from places that specialize in soup dumplings, other than soup dumplings, because I find that Shanghainese food is a bit on the blander side (also found this to be the case in Shanghai). However, all of the food was delicious and overall, I had an enjoyable lunch here at Soup Dumpling Plus! Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for yummy Shanghainese food!

Soup Dumpling Plus is unbelievably good and deserves all of the hype. Every year they make the list of Yelp's Top 50 Places to Eat in North Jersey and I can absolutely see why! We ordered a few small plates and I would consider all of them must gets. The signature soup dumplings had the most sweet and flavorful broth. The pork buns were meaty and juicy. Beef scallion pancakes came stuffed with so much beef and the flavor was literally perfect. Sesame cucumber salad added the perfect amount of green and crunch to our sampling. We wanted to keep it light and didn't try any entrees, but everything that came out of the kitchen looked unreal. It's an unassuming spot in an indoor shopping plaza. Walk down a long hallway and you are transported into a bustling restaurant that hardly has any open seats during lunch time. Service is friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. I wish I lived closer!

Took myself out on a date ! Service , portions & ambiance was great ! Soup dumplings were light, flavorful & so delicious Also the sliced beef with hot chilis was to die for ! Highly recommend, will be back !

We came on a weekday afternoon for a late lunch and there were only 1-2 other tables occupied so we were seated immediately. The food also came out quickly. We had the pork soup dumplings, crab and pork soup dumplings, seafood pork dumplings, marinated jellyfish, and scallion pancake. Both soup dumplings were amazing but the crab and pork soup dumplings were the clear favorite. My toddler preferred the scallion pancake and scarfed down most of it. The seafood pork dumplings were decent but pretty standard. Our tea/water was refilled frequently and service was good. Overall, was a great lunch stop and would come back if we were ever back in the area!

I never give bad reviews We ordered Chinese for lunch and asked for mustard, soy sauce and duck sauce, not very unusual request. I start eating my food and look what I found, a piece of metal in my food

Came here Saturday around 5 pm. Line was long but moved pretty quick. We were told 20-25 min wait but felt less. Food: We ordered the pork soup dumplings, crab/pork soup dumplings, vegetarian bun with mushrooms, noodles with scallion oil, scallion pancakes, fried breadsticks, and beef udon. Soup dumplings was amazing. I had been craving soup dumplings the whole month and this finally satisfied the craving! The other dishes were ok...not the best. Scallion noodles were a little dry, the vegetarian bun was dense, beef udon, scallian pancake and fried dough was normal. Service: waiters/waitresses were quick, attentive and efficient. No small talk. Ambiance: nice family style restaurant.

Excellent, food. This is a real Asian restaurant whose patrons are predominantly Asian clientele. No western silverware: Asian soup spoons for soup and chopsticks for everything else. To gain entry into the restaurant, do n try to enter the restaurant's rear staircase located on the street. Enter the main building to the left of the garage driveway. Climb the inside stairs. Restaurant entrance is on the right.

Service was very fast. Everything tasted delicious and authentic. A lot of good flavor. The interior was simple and cozy. I would go back again. Prices were reasonable.

It pains me to write this. I have been going to this place for years and loved it every time. This time it was a complete fiasco. We brought friends for dinner and most of us ordered shrimps with vegetables in a brown sauce. Well, the dishes looked like a whole bucket of sauce was dumped into plates. Complete disappointment.

This is my favorite Soup Dumpling spot...and by favorite, I mean the meter stick from which I will measure my past/current/future Soup Dumpling experiences. I've been coming here for 8+ years and ALL of the food here is quality and tasty. Let's start with the Soup Dumplings - the soup is plentiful with delectable umami-ness with perfect skin (just thick enough to hold the soup..."Don't break the skin, amateur!"). The Pan Fried Pork Buns are outstanding - super juicy and perfect with some chili oil. I've had and loved all of their Fried Rice-s - the ingredients are fresh/quality and has good "Wok Breath" (ask your Asian friends what that means). I also like to get the Chicken and Eggplant stir-fry - perfectly cooked umami combos with "Wok Breath". Honestly, I've not been disappointed with anything I've ordered here. This is a great busy neighborhood spot. No rezzies, so come early on the weekends, cuz there'll be a wait. Service is always fast and courteous. Parking is available, but does fill up. The best advice I can give is - Come back often and try everything!

Love this place Scallion pancake Soup dumplings Baby bok choy with garlic Nice tea Nice people Booths!

Such a great spot! The dumplings practically explode in your mouth, the perfect temperature to warm you all the way up! Love the ease of ordering, cute atmosphere, and fast service. I'll definitely be back, and absolutely recommend!

my favorite sit down spot for delicious chinese food! you check in, they give you a menu and a pen to check off your order, and when it's time to seat you they take your paper order & get it started. the food comes out quickly which is always a plus when you're hungry!! huuuge portions!! and seriously the best soup dumplings in the area. i've been going to this restaurant for years, trying different things on the menu, and have never been disappointed. the staff and service are great too

As the name of the place is dumplings, you should probably get dumplings. We got numbers 8 through 13, food came out quick and was delicious.

got shanghai egg fried rice, crab soup dumplings and jellyfish. jellyfish was crisp cool and refreshing. the soup dumpling had nice flavor and honestly the best in nj that ive tried so far (and ive tried many). the fried rice had really good texture and flavor as well. this place deserves its high ratings!

I was introduced to this authentic Shanghainese restaurant back in 2017 and have been going ever since. One word I would use to describe it is... BUSY, BUSY, BUSY. Tables are usually filled and there are long lines. Yes, you guessed it - the food is that good AND the prices are reasonable. Now don't be discouraged... wait times can range from 10-30 minutes, but the line moves a lot faster than you think. Every dish I've tried is full of flavor. Nothing is greasy/oily, which is why their food stands out from the usual Chinese take-out places that can sometimes go way too heavy with salt, oil, and sugar. Portions are filling and are big enough to share if you're eating with others. My favorites are: Pork & Crab Soup Dumplings 5/5 - It's in the name of the restaurant itself, so this is a must try! The combination of the broth, meat filling, and soft texture of the dough is just *CHEF'S KISS* General Tso's Chicken 5/5 - This has to be my #1 favorite dish. It's simple, but executed so well. It's the perfect fusion of spicy, tangy, sweet, and savory. Sesame Chicken 5/5 - Another simple dish that is executed well. Can't go wrong. Prices are fair and overall you will get a great value dining here. An appetizer, soup dumplings (6), and a chicken dish (cup of white rice included) usually come out to ~$35. Most items range from $8-$16. Service is quick, efficient, and attentive. Servers make sure to refill your water, give you more napkins, clear your dishes, etc. Y'all already know I'll be back soon!

We were so surprised that such a great Chinese restaurant was just 5 minutes away by car. Now that we know about Soup Dumpling Plus, we'll definitely visit again - their soup dumplings, fried udon noodles and General Tso's Chicken are definitely stand outs. Located about a few minutes drive from the iPic theater, Soup Dumpling Plus is close to the heart of Fort Lee's koreatown. It is also very close to people living in Edgewater and other townships nears the George Washington. Also, if you are worrying about parking, you fortunately don't have to worry too much - there is a parking lot right below the building the restaurant is in and also street parking outside. When we visited Soup Dumpling Plus, it was very busy, but we fortunately were seated very quickly. After getting to our seats, the server gave us menus with pictures of the different dishes we could order along with a piece of paper to write down what we wanted to order. On our first visit, we ordered the General Tso's Chicken, fried udon noodles with pork, eggplant with chicken, fried string beans and an order of soup dumplings (aka Xiaolongbao). The soup from the xiaolongbao was super rich, and we both loved the chew to the fried Udon noodles. The fried string beans and eggplant were also solid vegetable dishes. But I personally liked the General Tso's Chicken the most. In terms of price, dinner at Soup Dumpling Plus was quite affordable. We ordered so many dishes but only spent around $36/person. This will definitely be a go to Chinese restaurant for us going forward.

Food are great taste not oily Waiter are super nice and friendly Service ON Point !!! :) Price around $70 without tips Place is clean I'm a happy customer ;) They have private parking lot which make it so much easier- wait time is 20-30mins

Excellent Asian cuisine- the pan fried dumplings are as good as any you can find in Shanghai Great spect and super friendly staff

A gem and destination caliber Chinese restaurant. Worth the wait for their soup dumplings alone. Their shrimp dishes are exceptional, clean and not drowning in sauces. Staff is very efficient in serving but without making u feel rushed. BYO!

I love this spot. This is one of my go-to restaurants which is always consistent with the amazing food and welcoming service. They are also BYOB and offer you your choice of glass. Their dishes are perfect for sharing with another person at a great price. This restaurant has tall booths that allow some sort of privacy too so I aim to sit there every time. It's also in a plaza filled with other restaurants, dessert spots, and shopping stores. Great place to stop for a bite!

A bit scared to share just how good this place is because the lines to get in can be quite long. The soup dumplings here are truly to die for, and I've been to some of the best In Shanghai. They soup filling is sweet and savory and the outer shell is thin as it should be. My wife and I typically eat 3 to 4 portions each visit. But the dumplings aren't the only tasty dish, everything they serve is incredible. Another favorite of ours is the spicy shredded beef. But I warn you, it can be quite spicy. We typically dine here at least twice a month. Sometimes weekly. Service is very quick and efficient. The only drawback is that the line to get in can often be very long.

One of my easy go-to places for soup dumplings and other dishes. I've been to this place a multitude of times before and during peak dining hours it can be a bit hard to get in to. The entrance can be a bit hard to find due to location but I think it's well worth it. The staff are accommodating and the place itself is nicely decorated with seatings for a variety of groups. The food is sufficiently priced and I personally think the soup dumplings price is well worth it. I always get a multitude of them. The general tso's which I decides to get was also crispy and tender on the inside and provided a nice compliment to it. 100% would definitely recommend to friends.

One of my favorite Shanghai soup dumpling spot in North Jersey. Their buns are always so fresh and HOT (every food item that comes out is piping hot so watch your tongue if you're eating anything as soon as it comes out). Service is very quick and efficient. Very chill and casual. So far everything I've tried here is absolutely delicious but my favorites are their pork meat soup dumplings and their fried pork buns. Their crispy noodles and rice cakes are absolutely delicious as well! I mostly rely on metered street parking to get here. This restaurant is inside a complex with multiple stores and restaurants, but the restaurant itself is pretty big and I always get seated quickly.

First of all...this mini mall has free parking. Love that. The food is so fresh and flavorful! I love that you mark off on a paper menu what you want. It makes the service that much quicker and more productive. The food comes out quickly, fresh and hot. The restaurant is cute with a wall of cute little characters. Fast service, great authentic food and great prices. Would recommend to anyone!

Absolutely delicious hidden gem. The building was a little hard to find. Service was great, thank you Andy! Food was superb. Came out fast and tasted amazing! Cups were never left empty. I would definitely come here again! Definitely recommend the lo mein, super good flavors.

Came to Soup Dumpling plus on a whim. I saw all of the good reviews so I had to check it out myself. It was easy to miss when driving there as the place is in sort of a mini mall with other stores and restaurants. There is parking underneath the building but i was able to find street parking. It was Friday night but didn't expect it to be so packed. We had to sign our name on the list and wait to be called. A table of two took about 15mins so it wasn't too bad. The place is BYOB. It's small with cute wall art. Being that it was called Soup Dumpling I expected more soup dumplings to be on the menu but there were few. We ordered the pan fried pork buns, vegetable dumpling, beef w/ broccoli, shrimp w/ broccoli and veggie fried rice. The shrimp and broccoli was not on the menu but we asked for it. Pan fried buns were excellent. They were juicy on the inside and flavorful. The veggie dumplings were good also. Both the beef and broccoli and shrimp and broccoli were excellent. They were very flavorful, plentiful and tasted fresh. The fried rice was excellent as well. It was lightly fried and full of flavor. We wanted to substitute the fried rice for our white rice and they wouldn't allow it so we just ordered a side. All of the food was very good so I could see why it was crowded. The service was ok, nothing over the top. We had to check off what we wanted on a menu and give it to the server. They were otherwise attentive.

food is always great here. i usually get the steamed pork soup dumplings, sesame chicken, rice, spring rolls. never disappoints. will be back soon

Stopped here for lunch and did pick up. The order came quickly and the hosts were nice. I got the soup dumplings. Overall they were very delicious. The order I got had 6 soup dumplings, and it was a little over a dollar for each one. It did have a lot of ginger if you like ginger, but if not then I would be cautious. I would come back to try more things on the menu!

Really good food spot for Shanghainese food. My friends and I ordered takeout and we were able to pick it up pretty quickly. We got a few orders of soup dumplings, bok choy, Yeung chow fried rice, and chili beef with peppers. We would have appreciated if they gave us utensils as well. Very good experience!

It is an excellent restaurant near Fort Lee for lunch; a parking lot is under the building. They have good soup dumplings and other decent Chinese dishes. The service was good, too. It was a packed place at Friday noon, so it was a good thing we reserved a table. The ambiance was nice, too. I would return again if I am in the area. The food was perfectly seasoned, so it was not too salty. I have no complaints. They gave you tea to drink while having a nice meal. I recommend this place for a nice Chinese lunch. This place is supposed to be very popular place in Fort Lee, good thing I tried here.

We finally made it here again after a few years of ordering it to go during the pandemic. We absolutely love it and it's more than worth the wait. They are extremely efficient and customer service is excellent! Pork soup buns are definitely the best but the vermicelli and vegetarian dish with bean curd skin was delicious too. If you have picky Chinese parents or kids, this is the perfect place to go. Everyone was more than satisfied and at a reasonable price. We're look forward to coming back more often now that our kids can wait patiently for yummy soup buns!

Ate there again, still wonderful. Was Mother's Day and besides the wonderful food and service, I was given a rose. Made the day complete. The bean paste dumplings were a sweet ending to a very filling dinner, Staff couldn't be nicer.

As the saying goes, "If you ain't got no haters, you ain't poppin'". Well, Soup Dumpling Plus is ABSOLUTELY POPPIN', so they probably got plenty of hating from their competitors because this place was as crowded as any restaurant I've been to in a longgggg, longgggg time. We dropped in for dinner at around 6:20PM on a brisk Saturday evening. Perfect weather for warm soup dumplings. Our food choice for the evening, spot on, our timing? Complete miss. We arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, which is inside the Fort Lee Plaza Shopping Center, and we were greeted by a throng of hungry customers standing around the lobby of the shopping center. How many? Too many to count while hungry, but it all totaled to exactly a 1 hour wait, which felt like an eternity spent at the DMV. The surprising thing was that there was consistent turnover with parties of all sizes going in and out, but we just waited and waited and waited. My name never sounded better when they FINALLLY called us. One positive thing of note during our wait was that they gave every waiting party a printout of the menu so that you can mark down what you plan on ordering. Once you're seated you can hand the order sheet to a waiter/waitress and...well...the rest is history! (FYI, the menu is pretty typical of most Shanghainese restaurants. You're not going to run into a whole lot of surprises, but the menu WAS bigger and longer than most Shanghainese restaurants with a grand total of exactly 100 food items, yes 100!) Once my name was called, we were immediately whisked into the (I guess) larger dining room to the right of the entrance. Body heat was at an all-time high inside with the hot food sitting on customers' tables combined with everyone being in such close proximity. Within 5 minutes of being seated though, our food was already making its way onto our table - CHOWWWW TIME. We ended up ordering the following this evening: Jelly Fish Scallion Pancake Four Happiness Baked Bran w Peanut Pan Fried Pork Buns Sauteed Bok Choy w. Fresh Garlic Crispy Noodle w. Chicken Young Chow Fried Rice Steamed Pork Soup Dumpling Steamed Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumpling I can't comment on each and every one, but we were VERY satisfied with all of the food. Everything was pretty spot on, with the exception of the Crispy Noodle with Chicken. It came out very hot, which, of course, is good, but the sauce overwhelmed the noodle and, by the time it sat on our table, the noodle was already soggy. It had major potential, but just wasn't crispy as advertised. As for everything else, the soup dumplings were excellent. LOTS and LOTS of soup inside each one and it was hot, which is a must for this dish. I've found that many Shanghainese restaurants don't make the dumplings with enough soup, but that doesn't apply here. All of our appetizers were good too and the Sauteed Bok Choy was extrraaaaa garlicky and flavorful, which we loved. The food came fast and furious throughout the evening and, despite being so busy, the place was like a well-oiled machine. It definitely wasn't their first rodeo. The next time that we come here, we will DEFINITELY come earlier for dinner or during an off-peak time. This restaurant was rightfully busy because of their really good food, but the efficient service definitely made the wait worth it as well, so word of advice - come earlier than you usually eat!

Everyone seems to go here! There were 3 of us and we waited about 20 minutes at 7pm on a Friday night. I wouldn't recommend bringing a party of more than 6 unless you're willing to wait longer. We got a order form once we wrote our name down in the wait list. We presented it to the server once we got our table so our food came out real fast. Hot & sour soup. Stir fried sweet pork with scallions & onions. Stir fried string beans (added the chili oil in a jar on the table to give them more flavor). Soup dumplings (love that the fresh ginger is paper thin julienne cut). The beans & pork each came with a bowl of rice. There was plenty for us and we packed up some beans, pork & rice. Of course the highlight were some the soup dumplings. Filled with lots of delicious broth. Paper thin wrapper as it should be. 6 good sized dumplings per order. The restaurant has many smaller tables that can be configured to bigger tables by moving around square tables. The plates are clean. Paper dinner napkins. Disposable wooden chopsticks and the soup spoons are self-serve on your table. Chili oil, soy sauce, black vinegar are at each table. You get a big cup of tea that they refill for you.

I really love the lobster here! Yo can choose with udon, lomein, rice cakes or just stir fried! The hot and sour soup is top notch, better than PF Chang's. I love the stir fried Bok Choy. The fried dumpling is good too.

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 I've been here a handful of times, and most times there's a waitlist. Be prepared to stand or sit around in the hallway leading up to the restaurant. Most food has been quite good - you mostly can't go wrong with anything (based on the different dishes ive had). This place is best known in the area for their Steam Pork Soup Dumpling (Xiaolongbao), which has been consistently good. The one dish I definitely would not get again is the Marinated Jellyfish. It was just not flavorful and wasn't worth the price. There's a good number of tables here, and I can see them fitting larger families too.
