Shanghainese Restaurants near City Of Industry, CA

“A truly affordable hidden eatery. It's not well-known, but the taste is really good and the service is good. They also serve glutinous rice balls after the meal, which is highly recommended!

Kid-friendliness: Shanghai has a sweet taste and not many spicy dishes, so it is suitable for children.“

“A very few that are still left as a true authentic shanghanes style restaurant in southern california. The 2 are absolutely wonderful. What the place in a very depressed location? I wish the restaurant are in a better setting, but the food is the best“

“Mama Lu's Dumpling House in the City of Industry is the perfect place for some delicious Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine, and it's easy to see why. The restaurant has a lively, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. My recent visit was a perfect example of their reputation for serving up generous portions of quality food. My family loves this place for their delicious yet super cheap eats!

A classic is their Juicy Pork Dumplings and Soup-filled Shu Mai; these dumplings are the stars of the show, living up to their name with a flavorful broth and tender filling. For something with a kick, the Spicy Wontons were a definite highlight, with a rich, aromatic sauce that had the perfect amount of heat.

The main courses were equally impressive. The Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice was a savory and well-balanced dish, while the Salt and Pepper Tofu Fish had a wonderfully crispy exterior and a soft, delicate inside. They were having a special where this dish was only $9.99!! The Beef Wrap was amazing, a delicious green onion pancake filled with tender beef and fresh veggies and loads of sauce! For greens, we chose their Sautéed Baby Bok Choy, a simple but perfectly prepared vegetable dish that provided a nice, fresh contrast to the other rich flavors.

The service was prompt and attentive, and our food arrived quickly. Mama Lu's lives up to its reputation for serving authentic, delicious food that is perfect for a group. I can't wait to go back and try more of their extensive menu.“

“This location is in Arcadia next to 99 Ranch Market. Parking is plentiful in the parking lot. Sunright is also next door.

I think this is a good place to get Shanghainese food. There are no frills. If you pay cash, you get a discount. I was here for dinner, and they ran out of some items already!

I ended up getting a noodle soup, which was so delicious on a cold night. The black sesame mochi roll was actually really delectable. I recommend sharing this because it gets carb-y. There is one restroom in the back.

Credit card is accepted.“

“Great service, they even give away 8 inches free 🎂 too“

“Ordered the Peking duck, soup dumplings, spicy dumplings and beef roll.

Duck was good(bone in) and the Chinese broccoli that came with it was delicious.

Spicy dumplings were okay, kind of bland.

Soup dumplings were fantastic.

Beef roll was surprisingly good. (Pretty much a large oversized egg roll)“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“Shanghailander Palace is a true gem for those seeking authentic Shanghai-style cuisine, and honestly, I’m surprised this restaurant holds a low star rating. While the service leaves room for improvement, the quality and authenticity of the food far outweigh any shortcomings, making it well worth a visit.


The dining area is simple yet comfortable, with a traditional feel that suits the style of cuisine. It’s not overly flashy, but it creates the right atmosphere for enjoying a hearty, family-style Chinese meal.


If you’re from Shanghai—or familiar with its culinary traditions—you’ll immediately recognize the flavors here. The dishes are classic, nuanced, and true to the region’s cuisine. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers Shanghai flavors this faithfully.


The food is deeply satisfying, with well-balanced seasonings and a great mix of textures. From their signature Shanghainese dishes to their flavorful stir-fries, each plate reflects skill and care in preparation. This is comfort food at its finest, with a clear nod to tradition.


The service is average at best and could use improvement, especially given the price point. While staff are polite, there’s a noticeable lack of attentiveness, and the pacing of dishes can be uneven.


While prices lean on the higher side, the authenticity and taste make it a worthwhile splurge. If you’re craving genuine Shanghainese flavors, this is the place to indulge.

Final verdict: Shanghailander Palace may not deliver a five-star dining experience in terms of service, but when it comes to true Shanghai flavors, it’s hard to beat. For those who value culinary authenticity over polish, this spot deserves a solid 4 stars.“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“I can't help but express how much I wish we had something like that here in my hometown of El Paso! I had the opportunity to enjoy this incredible food while in California for just a couple of days, and I couldn't resist going back for more. It was such a delight to experience that culinary bliss two days in a row!“

“可以吃到上海的生煎包，很Nice.味道很正宗.非常值得推薦“

“The food was amazing and a great place to take traditional northern Chinese dishes. Not only is their service great, everyone here is extremely friendly and nice. The tables has traditional cultural vibes which is perfect if you are looking for good vibes and atmosphere“

“We came late. Hour before closing so yes we had to rush to get what we wanted even tho it was our first time. And oh my gosh !!! Everything was toooo delicious 🤤 everything. And I need to go back and try more“

“If you're a fan of authentic dumpling houses and bold flavors, this spot is a must-visit! 👍😋💯 It’s a small, unassuming hole-in-the-wall, but don’t let the size fool you the food is phenomenal. 🍜🤤👏 We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one delivered big on taste. 🥟🥢😋

I had the spicy fried rice (pro tip: it comes with chicken, even though it doesn’t say so on the menu). 🔥🌶️🍚 The flavor from the hot chili oil and black salted beans was out of this world. 🌎🌟✨ We also enjoyed the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), which were perfectly done. 💯😋👍

What really surprised me was the sautéed cabbage with Thai chili peppers so simple, yet packed with incredible flavor. 🥬🌶️🔥 The beef soup was hearty, and the spicy chicken dish with Sichuan and chili peppers brought the heat in all the right ways. 🍲🐔🌶️

Customer service was great, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. 💯😊👍 I will definitely be back. 🥳😋👏“

“Beef soup was very good, nailed the mala without making it too spicy for the kid in the group. Stir fry chicken noodles were good but 75% cabbage. Fried rice was great but the pork chop was only OK, very small and fatty. Beef rolls also not great, they were very dry.“
