Shanghai Lao Wei Dao

. Some of the best authentic Xiao Long Baos I’ve ever had anywhere in the World!

. Friendly service.

. Casual and lively Chinese food court. Seating can be limited during busy periods.

Really homey Shanghainese small eats!
Had the pan fried dumplings (thicc juicy boys) and wonton soup.
Dumplings were really juicy, somewhat deep fried (think shengjian buns), but lots of juicy pork filling.
Wontons were super homey and classic with a savoury shrimp peel, seaweed and ginger broth. All for $15!
Mouth-watering chicken is more like drunken spicy chicken. Tender but I think I prefer the Sichuan/Xian version.

Great...

We were visiting Vancouver for a few days from the States and stopped in here randomly. We ordered the pan-fried buns and the xiao long baos - I am not exaggerating when I tell you that the pan-fried dumplings are the best buns/dumplings I've ever had in my life. The flavor and texture were absolutely perfect, and eating here was definitely a highlight of our trip. We stopped back in the day before we were supposed to leave Canada just to purchase 2 more orders of the pan-fried...
