Lao Ke Le Shanghai Cuisine Restaurant - Soup Dumplings Dim Sum Wonton

Lao Ke Le Shanghai Cuisine is a cozy and welcoming restaurant that captures the comforting traditions of Shanghainese food.

They also gave us some soup dumplings, which was nice, but the skin was a bit dry. Overall, a good spot if you’re in the mood for Shanghainese dishes.

Yummy authentic Shanghainese cuisine. Really enjoyed the scallion oil noodles and the Crab + Shrimp tofu dish. The hot tea was aromatic and quite good as well.

Love this place! It’s a cozy, nostalgic Shanghai restaurant with some great Sichuan options too. The food is always delicious — full of color, aroma, and flavor. Can’t wait to come back!
