Shanghainese Restaurants near Pleasanton, CA

“Fiery Shanghai in Pleasanton is a really good place for great food and family dining. The food was excellent, the ambiance was comfortable and not too crowded, and our server Sandra was wonderful. She was helpful, kind, accommodating, always smiling, and gave us great service. Highly recommended.“

“Authentic Shanghai flavors every time! The pan-fried soup buns, beef vermicelli soup, and crispy fried pork chop are my must-order dishes whenever I visit. Everything tastes fresh and comforting, just like classic Shanghai home-style food.

The restaurant is also clean, cozy, and welcoming. Although it’s not large, the warm atmosphere makes it feel inviting. I especially love the Shanghai-themed decorations and scenic artwork, which add a nice touch of local charm. Definitely one of my favorite places for authentic Shanghai cuisine!“

“This cozy breakfast spot specializes in Shanghainese comforts. Service is brisk and no-nonsense. We ordered a few staples — wontons, noodle soups and xiaolongbao — all of them competent and satisfying.

The pork kidney noodle soup is a rarity in the United States, though here the kidney is cut thick and left unstir-fried, so it contributes less flavor to the broth than it could. It is better treated almost as a side than as an integral part of the soup. The xiaolongbao are tasty, if more rustic in appearance than the finely pleated versions served at more polished places like Din Tai Fung.

Still, this is an honest, unfussy restaurant well worth returning to.“

“My new favorite spot! Everything we ordered was excellent and super fresh, fast and friendly service too!“
