Shanghainese Restaurants near Burnaby, BC

“Don’t come if you want fine dining type of service, BUT do come if you want fantastic xlb and 生煎包.

Just a bunch of Shanghai aunties yelling at each other making fresh and juicy xlb in real time. 100% worth the wait.“

“My usual go to place a couple stalls down, Shanghai dim sum house, is closed on Wednesday, but this place is another great place open with same price and still excellent quality. Crispy exterior and full of soup, the pan fried pork buns are excellent. It does have a slightly different flavour than the other restaurant, which is neither good nor bad; I like both! Next time I will try to XLB as I only had appetite for one dish as a snack on the go today.“

“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!“

“Renovated a bit dated
Parking is confusing as the parking lot is share with the hotel so wasn’t sure where I can park
There’s a underground parking at the end but it’s all full and very tight space
Food is hit and miss
Didn’t like the XLB the dough was too thick and dry
Spicy beef brisket was tasty
The peanut mochi was super weird looking“

“This place is fantastic. It’s so delicious. I recommend the Sheng Jian Bao (pan fried dumplings) and Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings).

Most people do take out, but eating there is awesome to make sure it’s hot.

Note: it’s cash only“
