About Dumpling Inn & Shanghai Saloon

The Dumpling Inn & Shanghai Saloon is a popular Chinese restaurant that has been delighting diners for years. Despite a move and expansion, the restaurant has maintained its authentic flavors, with the Soup Dumplings (XLB) being a standout dish. The menu also features homemade noodles, which are highly recommended and worth paying a little extra for. Customers often praise the Broccoli/scallion beef and Kung pao chicken, along with other dishes that have yet to disappoint. One of the favorite aspects is that the food leaves diners feeling light on their feet, without any "food hangover" or energy crash. The restaurant also offers a great beer menu, adding to the overall experience. It is known for its authentic Shanghai-style soupy dumplings and special treats like red oil wontons in the evening and fish and chive boiled dumplings, which are highly praised for their taste. The beef noodle soup, with thick, chewy noodles and tender beef in spicy soup, remains popular among customers. The staff provides friendly and helpful service, ensuring guests are well taken care of. While the atmosphere can be lively and noisy, making conversations a bit difficult at times, the quality of food and service stays consistently high. Parking can be tight and sometimes costly, so visitors are encouraged to plan extra time or prepare for nearby parking. This place is a great choice for casual meals, whether for a family outing or a business lunch, and it offers vegetarian and kid-friendly options to suit all guests.
