Shanghai Dimsum House Reviews
Heard from multiple sources that this place has the best soup dumping. It was crowded - had trouble finding a table, ordered the soup dumpings and pan fried dumplings. They were huge, skin was thin but the taste wasn't that authentic. I barely finished half of the food.
The soup dumplings at Stall #13 are a must-try. They were even bigger than the ones I’ve had at restaurants and were packed with delicious, flavorful broth. They were absolutely delicious!
I visited around lunchtime on a Sunday, so it was very busy. Finding a table was quite difficult, but the food was definitely worth the wait.
Personally my go to spot still for XLB and pan fried buns. Both are very juicy and flavourful, bursting with soup inside if you don’t bite carefully. I always drop by whenever I’m in the area whether it’s for a quick snack or a full meal. My only problem is when I drop by and accidentally forget they’re closed on Wednesday, so I have to go somewhere else!

Shanghai Dimsum House is a popular spot known for its generous servings of pan fried pork dumplings and Xiao long bao. The dumplings are made from scratch and are juicy and flavorful, with nicely sized portions for its prices. The dough is neither too tough nor chewy, making each bite enjoyable. The Xiao long bao is fresh and juicy, and the restaurant also offers a unique fried xiaolongbao that many find delicious. The wonton with spicy sauce is also recommended. Customers praise the large portions, especially the steamed dumplings, and many find the food comforting and satisfying. The Xiao Long Bao are noted for their sweet broth and good size, and the Pan Fried Pork Buns are also enjoyed, with some customers preferring the Xiao Long Bao. While the food takes a few minutes to prepare, it is well worth the wait. The restaurant makes the food in front of customers, ensuring freshness. It's a cash-only place, and although the cleanliness in the mall food court can be questionable, the good value, tasty dim sum, and authentic Shanghai dishes make it a top choice in the Greater Vancouver area.
