Shanghai Soup Dumplings 上海小籠包

Humble but delicious no fuss counter restaurant. The soup dumplings are divine and some of the best I’ve had in Boston area. Get the crab ones, trust. The Shanghai Wonton Soup was great too.

New shop owners say has been open about 3 months. It’s tucked away near the registers in the Kan Man market. I was skeptical being a food Court style place, but was pleasantly surprised. They tasted Very similar to the ones that I just had a week ago in Beijing. The veggie dumplings were a spinach dough with nice flavor. The Shanghai Original dumplings were delicious. The scallion pancake was an add-on, but it was very crispy and tasty. It’s good to know. I can grab a good bite to eat while I’m shopping.

This place is closer to a 3.5 for me because I was really disappointed by one of the things that I ordered, but I honestly feel bad rating low for a mom-and-pop type of shop. Also, the fact that the dumplings were homemade on the spot is deserving of half a star to bump this up to a 4. This place is located near the registers when you walk into Kam Man. It is a simple shop with a cute logo, four tables, and two workers. I ordered the signature soup dumplings and Shanghai sticky rice with braised pork, which took 10 minutes to prepare (I was the only person, so you might have to wait longer if there are other customers). - Signature Soup Dumplings ($11.95/6 pcs): The dumplings were on the smaller side and did not have a ton of soup, but they definitely tasted homemade. The dough was soft,

Great first time experience! Friendly staff and the soup dumplings hit the spot. Small shop but big taste definitely a must try. Hoping they expand their menu. Satisfied!

The place is located inside the same building as Kai Man grocery store. We ordered scallion pancakes 4 pieces, Chive wrap 2 pieces, and Radish pancakes 3 pieces. These are freshly made. It came out of the freezer. The Scallion was really oily! I wished they would use something to take some of the oil. The chive wraps and radish pancakes aren't anything special. It lacks flavor. It came out to 23 bucks. Pretty pricey. They gave us a tiny dipping sauce that was half full. We didn't have the soup dumplings.
