For me, Xiaolongbao is a must try at a Shanghai restaurant . Luckily, I had some delicious xiaolongbao here, will come again.

Great food - the xiao long bao and pork pancakes are my favourites. :o) Service is super-fast, and the joint is a whole lot less pretentious than neighbouring Din Tai Fung . Definitely recommended.

Look at the color u can tell the soup is not that good & not so worthy for the price just because it's named "Shanghai" ???

Christina C.

The soup dumplings aren't soupy enough. I've had better. The dumplings in chili sauce was good. But the dumplings in soup was the better of the 3.

Anna Feruga

Taste of dishes are not so authentic even if the restaurant is running by Asians people, but portions are big and cheap .

Ronald Woan

Try the Xiao Long Bao - #delicious xiao long bao gives din tai Fung a run for their money

Matty Schreck

Best menu design of any Chinese restaurant I have ever seen! Pictures for every single dish!

Christine Nguyen

Bad service but good food! Must try these poached dumplings in chilli oil !

Go for number 1005 (Stir Fried Snow Peas Sprout)

Ronald Suwandi

Food tasted great. Reasonably priced. Service was really unrefined though

Ledin Damas

The Shanghai Xiao long bao are awesome!

Hendra Wong

much better dumplings than Din Tai Fung . and pan fried pork buns are so delicious.

Andii Hei

Try the Fried Mini buns - Comes with condensed milk , but need to ask for more

mark c

The chilli eggplant and pork hotpot sauce is more sweet than spicey , so avoid if you're looking for hotness - still very enjoyable.

Be precise when you order. We ordered 2 plates, one arrived in 30m, after 10m we asked the staff for the second plate. We followed up 4 more times before told we order only 1 plate. ok food, WOFTAM.

Xiao long baos are good. Other food not so great. Cutlery is oily all round they don't wash the plates well here. Watermelon shake is diluted

Hendy Ongkodjojo

The garlic bamboo chicken is good!! Punchy garlic with a bit of chili kick!!!

Ben Ho

2% surcharge on cards.

Belinda C

When they say it will take 5 - 10mins for a table they mean 20-30mins. Even longer for the food. If your starving or in a hurry, go elsewhere..

Louise Elmer Viernes

Xiao long bao is delicious

Andii Hei

Try the Pork Dumplings with Cabbage - Steamed..

Andii Hei

Try the Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Buns

Good food but not good service

J★ZZ

Fried rice with XO sauce is amazeballs when you're hungover! <3

Stephen Hogan

The best dumplings !!!! way better than Din Tai Fail.

Cindy Hung

After a year, decided to give it a 2nd chance. The verdict remains the same - service is still crap, the noodles are too salty and overcooked. Quality of food is terrible.

Daniel Cheah

Good alternative to Din Tai Fung if the lines are too long..!!

Dave Edwards

Pork & chive dumplings are boss

Erica

Dumplings are delicious. Although food there is not so great.

J Lee

Getting my Xiao Long Bao on

Larissa

Waited almost 40mins for pan fried pork buns ...I could have made them myself in the time it took! Don't eat here if you are in a rush.

Daniel Cheah

If the lines at Din Tai Fung are too long, check ou

The food and service here are rubbish. What happened to the previous chef ?

Buunnyy Low

Food quality mediocre. Watch out for dumplings - raw meat alert! Exception of one waitress , d rest of the staff at tis establishment appeared to hav graduated from d University of the Uncouth.

Santo H

This is not the place to visit if you are in a rush. Otherwise, food was ok.

Kim T

Suckers for varieties beware: huge portions ! Food mediocre, none rave worthy.

Michael Ow

Bad service when it's busy. Food is good and makes up for it.

Agnes Rosalina

Waduhhh....enaknya rek........

Sophia L

DO NOT SIT NEXT TO THE FISH TANK

Cindy Hung

The service is CRAP. Staff are rude, rude, rude. Never go back there again.

John Liu
