Bao Bao Dumpling

After trying their shengjian bao, I can absolutely see why it's their signature! Their bottoms were fried to crispy perfection while the tops remained pillowy soft, making for a delightful eating experience. The filling was also very juicy and flavorful, super tasty with black vinegar. Definitely an A+ item. Now, the other two items we got were a little less impressive, though still OK. The XLB had the same filling as the shengjian baos for some reason, which I thought was an odd choice since the flavor didn't feel "fresh" enough for XLB - a bit heavier and more pork-forward than typical XLB. They were, of course, still juicy however. We also ordered a zhajiang mian, or black bean noodle, but the flavor there fell a little flat. Less black bean flavor than what we were expecting, given ho

I usually don’t leave reviews, but I think my experience at this restaurant was definitely worth a 5-star rating! I really loved the pan-fried pork buns here: so juicy, flavorful, and authentic! In fact, they were as good as the ones I had in Shanghai! The fried noodles and the tea they served were also perfect! The lady who served us frequently checked whether if the tea should be refilled. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try authentic Chinese/Shanghaiese food!

Loved this place! It was very authentic Shanghai food. We got the Shanghai Braised Wheat Gluten (cold dish). Couldn’t decide if we liked the Xiaolongbao or Shengjian Bao better. The sizzling eggplant was incredible. Would definitely go back!

The Shengjian Bao (pan fried pork dumpling) is consistently good--crispy & juicy. Also enjoyed the Five Spiced Smoked Fish, Garlic Smashed Cucumbers, Salted Pork & Vegetable Fried Rice, Special Spicy Beef Stew Noodle Soup, Sichuan Spicy Egglant.

I was trying this place for the first time and got takeout. Just got home and tried a few of the items I ordered. Food tasted good so far but mid way eating a soup dumpling, I wasn’t able to chew the food and realized it was a plastic wrapper. I’m not certain I would want to give this place another chance.
