“I don’t know who these people are that are giving XLB anything less than 4 stars but we’ve been here countless times and it’s our favorite dim sum in the area! Get to know the owner and you’ll be glad you came here often enough to get to know her. She’s the best! We come here often on Sundays but we also come for lunch on Christmas Eve with our family. Our favorites include the Mixed Cilantro with Dry Shredded Tofu, Mixed Fresh Cucumber with Garlic Sauce, Szechuan Chili Oil Wonton, XLB, Green Onion Pancake, Pea Shoots.“

“okay, I love Sichuan and Hunan style because they have so much flavor. there's also Shanghai cuisine, which has flavor without the chillies of Sichuan/Hunan.
today, we went to Fremont to Shanghai Flavor. it's a super good Shanghainese restaurant.
it opens at 11.30 on Saturday. within 20 minutes, it was full. folks, it's a small place, but that's fine. great service.
if you can, get an order of moon cakes. only available on special occasions.
if you're on the peninsula, we're lucky to have Chef Zhao Kitchen in Palo Alto.“

“Had a wonderful dining experience at Fremont Ala Shanghai! We ordered the wok-fried green cabbage, shredded pork and vegetables rice soup, pan-fried dumplings, and the seasonal crab roe soup dumplings — and every dish tasted authentically prepared and full of flavor.
The highlight for me was definitely the crab roe soup dumplings. They were generously filled with roe, and the broth inside was rich and wonderfully warming — perfect comfort food.
Prices are very reasonable for the quality, and there’s plenty of parking, which makes visiting super convenient. There was only one waitress on the floor, and she seemed quite overworked, but she maintained such a positive spirit and was attentive whenever we called on her.
Overall, a satisfying and authentic meal — I’ll definitely be back!“

“Buns we're pretty good and really affordable. My big complaint is that the bus cart they push around every 5 minutes sounds like nails on a chalk board. Makes my skin crawl its so loud. You guys should get a can of WD-40 and lube the wheels on it.“

“This place reminds me of the old-school Chinese and Taiwanese places you’d find in the San Gabriel Valley in SoCal in the early 2000s. Mandarin speaking, straightforward service and just good Chinese comfort food.
At 11am on a Saturday it was packed with mainlanders, a good sign. What I really love about it is the honest pricing…we ordered a noodle, pan-fried buns and wonton soup for only $41 total. That’s a steal in this crazy economy, especially considering how labor-intensive Chinese dumplings are.
- Shanghai pan fried buns were crispy on outside, fluffy on the inside. Delicious!
- The shepherd’s purse wonton was okay, but slightly over-boiled; the wrappers were gummy.
- Scallion oil noodles were delicious and in a generous serving that two can share
The elderly couple running this place are both really nice and friendly. They’re more comfortable speaking Mandarin but they speak some English as well.“

“I was very surprised by the food quality and items they have on offer.
I live nearby but never came in because I thought the food here would be another one with offers of many heavy fried dishes.
I wished that I came by to try here earlier than now. The food is authentic and tasty.
All those times I'm looking for good casual Chinese places but have to settle for something below par? Well, no more, I will just come here instead.“

“Fantastic spot for Shanghainese food. Went here for dinner a few days ago and got sauteed sliced pork with pepper and chili and sauteed eggplant with potato and green bell pepper. Both were very flavourful, fresh, and well portioned. The pork was especially good, being very tender and flavourful. I'll definitely be back.“
