Shanghainese Restaurants near Anaheim, CA

“What an amazing experience overall.

We made a reservation on a Wednesday night (highly recommended in advance because they get very busy). The check in process was smooth, easy, and very quick. We were at our table within 5 minutes.

As soon as we got to our table, we had the MOST friendly server who helped us choose what food to decide on and what pairs best with what.

My food ratings:
- Chicken Xiao Long Bao: 10/10, the soup in them were outstanding. Perfect temperature and so much flavor (definitely dip in the ginger, soy and vinegar sauce).
- Chicken Fried Noodles: 7/10, they were not bad but not amazing. The flavor was not there. Probably would not order for a second time.
- Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin: 9/10, this was soooo good. They don’t give you a big portion for the price but honestly it was worth it. The meat, veggies and sauce had so much flavor and cooked perfectly.
- Chocolate and Mochi Xiao Long Bao: 1000/10, absolutely perfect, no questions asked, you better order this or there is no reason for you to be there. This dessert was the best we’ve ever had. The buns were warm with chocolate and mochi hot filling and melted in your mouth. Definitely recommend pairing it with the sea salt cream (it gives it a sweet and salty taste).

Drinks:
- Pear Lychee Martini: sooo good and sweet. this is one of their most ordered drinks and now I know why. worth the purchase!!!!
- Lager: first time trying a lager and it was very good!“

“Wow. I finally found an authentic Chinese restaurant with flavorful dishes, good pricing, and good service.

We had the Shanghai Juicy Xiao Long Bao, Wonton with Red Chili Sauce, Beef Filet w/ Black Pepper, Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp and the Wok Fried Rice w/ Crab Meat. Everything was AMAZING!!!

10/10 spot, will definitely be back. For anyone in the area, it’s a must try!“

“The food was great! Shrimp wontons were delicious! Ribs were great with the sweet chimichurri sauce.“

“There are many idiots rating this place low for no reason. The foods were all very flavorful and delicious. The waitresses were all very friendly and kind. We ordered the braised pork belly with the preserved vegetables, eggplant and beef, as well as the Kung Pao chicken. I recommend every one of them, they were all great.“

“Super clean and spacious interior with plenty of seating and very attentive service. Tucked next to a grocery store with lots of parking, and there’s even a Meet Fresh right next door if you’re in the mood for dessert after!

Tons of menu options and the portions are generous. My favorite dish was definitely the Shanghai rice cakes. It was seasoned perfectly and the texture was so chewy and satisfying. Also really enjoyed the juicy pork dumplings and sautéed string beans with sausage. Would definitely come back again for a comforting and filling meal!“
