Shanghainese Restaurants near Los Angeles, CA

“I sampled their famous xiao long bao, delicious dumplings, savory fried rice and garlic string beans. Each dish was a taste experience, from the delicious dumplings in broth to the perfectly seasoned fried rice. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Don't miss this place for authentic Taiwanese cuisine and unforgettable flavors. It has the taste of home.“

“The food is really good, the Beef Chow Mein with Black pepper sauce is delicious. The soup dumplings do not disappoint, just the right amount of soupy goodness. The service is great, but the atmosphere could use some help, I did come in on a Tuesday night.“

“I came here for a quick meal and was seriously impressed. The food tastes authentic, portions are generous, and everything was cooked with care.

I ordered the beef noodle soup and the braised pork elbow rice plate, and both dishes were excellent.

🍜 Beef Noodle Soup:
The broth was rich and flavorful with that classic Taiwanese depth. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the beef chunks were tender and juicy. Definitely one of the better beef noodle soups I’ve had in the area.

🍖 Braised Pork Elbow Rice Plate:
The pork elbow was incredibly tender and full of flavor—melt-in-your-mouth and perfectly braised. The plate came with cabbage, pickled veggies, a marinated egg, and a big serving of rice. Everything paired together really well, and the seasoning was on point.

The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, and the food came out fast. If you’re craving Taiwanese comfort food, this spot is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Absolutely my favorite Chinese restaurant in Alhambra. It reminds me of the Chinese food I used to have when I was a kid in the 70s. Many long time customers come here and many younger customers as well. The service is fast. The food is served quickly and hot. However, they don’t rush you. You can take your time. Enjoy your meal and talk with your family or friends. Because the place is so great there are a lot of people and they are all talking and eating so it can be quite lively. I would highly recommend coming here for traditional old-school Chinese food.“

“Great food, location and service“

“The food is excellent and there is a wide variety of dishes“

“Food was delicious, and service was great and friendly. Ordered scallion pancake, short ribs and soup dumplings it was plenty of food.“

“Wow! Meat pies from heaven in a mini- mall off N Garfield Avenue. Everything here is great. Not a sit down place as such, since it's really small and they only have a few tables, but I'm sure you could eat in if you wanted to (they have a short menu) - but it's not really a restaurant atmosphere - more of a small hole in the wall family run takeout, with Grandpa making dumplings by hand at a table when I was there. There seems to be very little English spoken here. Very delicious and authentic - I'll be back!“

“Our fav Shanghai place to eat, best Suanlatang, xiaolongbao, Shanghai baozi. Very nice staff and the cook is so friendly. Small town feel at this spot. We have been coming here for many years.“

“This is my favorite Xiao Long Bao that I have ever eaten in the United States. I must come here every time I come to LA. The shredded pork noodles with pickled vegetables also taste good. The noodle soup is a little sweet. Shanghainese love it, but my friends from other places who are with me don’t seem to like it too much.“
