Great spot for Shanghainese food. First time I came here was after going to the KTV next door, and have returned many times since. My favourite items are definitely the xiao long bao and mapo tofu. The portions are fantastic especially considering the reasonable prices. The staff are polite and service is quick. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.

My family and I really like coming here on a regular basis, and it's finally time to post a review (sometimes I get take-out here too). The staff is warm and friendly, but more importantly, the food is tasty and authentic too. We like the eggplant dish, the special sweet-and-sour fish, the green bean dish, and their Shanghai fried rice dish. My son likes their Shanghai noodle dish. Shanghai Flavor also has a dessert that has mochi balls with flower petals in them in a soup with delicately fermented rice. You can always come here and know that you're going to get good food (except on Mondays when they are closed).

Stumbled upon this place after playing badminton nearby—what a hidden gem! Authentic Shanghai flavors at a great price. We had 7-8 people, and it was only $22 per person—unbelievable for the Bay Area!
Must-try: • Xiao Long Bao: thin skin, juicy, super flavorful • Yu Xiang Pork: well-balanced spice and tang • Salt & Pepper Ribs: crispy and addictive • Stir-fried Water Bamboo: rare to find here • Tofu Soup: warm and comforting
Clean space, friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

You shouldn’t ask for higher tip and offended customers for that. I can tell that the owner is arrogant.

No photos but authentic (enough) shanghainese and southern Chinese food! We enjoyed all the dishes and the owner (shanghainese) was great! 鳝糊（Freshwater eel）, 马兰头，腌笃鲜，素鸡 and other hard to find dishes in other restaurants were all pretty good! Loved the 菜饭 (shanghainese veggie rice) and 炒年糕 (stir fried rice cakes) as well.

Don’t buy this. It’s not freshly made, tasted like it’s been sitting for quite long. Meat even tasted a bit sour.

First time visit at Shanghai Flavor. On a whim, we were looking for Hong Kong Style food but ended up here, thanks to Google. We sure are glad because food was delicious and service was excellent. The server was impressed at our food selection cause it seemed like we knew what we were doing. Thanks to the reviews, we simply chose what most reviewers order. After enjoying our meal, we surveyed other guest's food selection. There's more to taste in our next visit. Looking forward to trying other entrees in the menu. It's pricey here but portions are good. We highly recommend this place.
All I tried was the wonton soup but it was amazing

I loved the squirrel fish and the Shanghai rice dish!! All the food was cooked to perfection. The service is very efficient. I had an amazing time here with my family and will come back again.
Their 椒鹽魚片 (salt and pepper fish fillet?) is my favorite dish, not just at this restaurant but possibly anywhere. Lots of other tasty dishes too. The owners and servers are all super nice.

Operated by two women from Shanghai, authentic Shanghai cuisine. Huge portions and great taste. They even have 咸蛋黄青团just for the season. Will definitely come back!
