We ordered dumplings and a bunch of Chinese food and it was delicious! No atmosphere since it’s a carry out place. We ordered online and picked it up..fast and easy!

The place is just a long and narrow people with two employees. You order on a screen and wait. There are zero chairs or ambiance but the food is DELICIOUS. I would say the dumplings are on par with what we get from Rockville. Really, really good food.

Listen, maybe my expectations have really cratered since moving here, but I was genuinely excited to see a Chinese takeout restaurant opening in the neighborhood that doesn’t also have subs on the menu. I ordered the pork with garlic sauce (listed as 鱼香肉丝 on the menu in Chinese which literally translates to “fish fragrance thinly sliced pork”). It’s a dish I would usually order to judge the quality and flavor of a Chinese restaurant. It is a very popular and basic dish, I think of it as the equivalent of a Margherita pizza in a Neapolitan pizza joint. It’s a dish that cannot hide behind a spicy sauce such as the dry pots (干锅） or the broth (水煮）dishes. It demonstrates the basic knife skills of the chef and whether they can get the sauce flavor and consistency right.
It left much to be desired, to say the least. The meat was tough (not silkened) and in various shapes, the sauce flavor is off and too runny. Deeply disappointing.
I also ordered the spicy pork wontons - they were under seasoned and the sauce was lacking. I can confirm that these are indeed made fresh in house because I saw one person making it when I was picking up.
I understand this is, after all, just a takeout restaurant. And they recently opened so I will return and try something else and report back.

Around $20 each dish on Uber Eats. The rice is as small as a pack of soy sauce. The flavor is good.

I had an issue with my delivery order, and they helped me resolve it with the nicest attitude. Just for that, this will be my new staple place. Let’s not talk about how GOOD the food is.

Unique menu and well-executed. I got around three dishes (lo-mein, bok choy, pork), ... plenty of leftovers, looking forward to going back for the dumplings.
Loved dumplings, but Mapo tofu was made with silken tofu and was not great. Was hoping for crispy tofu.

My first time at Shanghai Dumpling. Communication was difficult. Nice serving for the price. The environment was clean. The shrimp were large and tender. Nothing special about the taste; just average.

Yo. hitting WAY harder than one would ever expect for a basement carryout.
Every dish was good, every ingredient felt fresh and not overcooked. Also kitchen was quite clean. Dude was careful in the packing and reviewing the order ticket. No seating, no restroom, no greeting. But top 4 Chinese i've had in 23 years living here.
We had: veggie steamed dumplings, veggie fried dumplings, sesame balls, the green beans (dry wrinkled like at some Taiwanese places), ma po tofu, veggie spicy dry pot (nice drying heat, lotus root!? Black fungus mushroom!?), the rice, cucumber salad (more garlicky and flavorful than most)
Would gladly go again, and get any of those dishes again

Ordered the Sichuan spicy chicken, Farmhouse pork and Vegetables dry pot, everything was delicious and appropriately spicy. Definitely recommend this place for takeout.
