Like many other folks over the past couple of weeks, a friend pointed out the recent video review of a place that's been in business 20+ years I never knew about.Be warned up front: it's carry-out only at this time. We didn't know that.The store itself is charming and no excess. You go there for the food. The gentleman who waited on us was extraordinarily polite and helpful. I'd go there again based on the service alone.I ordered the shrimp dumplings, which reminded me quite a bit of the ones I get in Hong Kong, so, bonus. Lots of filling here, too. The crab rangoon is hands down the best I've had from a restaurant probably ever. It's the real deal and absolutely delicious! Oddly enough, the green onion pancakes had the lightest of flavor. I'll probably try something else like the Spring Rolls in lieu of the pancakes next time. And there WILL be a next time.Amazing place and great food!

Love the dumplings here! Everything is made to order, so that's really nice. The owner seems nice to talk to & food is quick. This is more of a take out place than sit down. They have a few chairs at the bar, but don't expect anything fancy.

The staff were so kind. The dumplings are made fresh daily and I think this is the first time I could actually taste the crab in a crab ragoon. I really felt like I was welcomed there.

Yummy in my tummy!!! I came by on a whim and I'm so happy I did. I got a lunch combo, Chicken dumpling w crab ragoon plus scallion pancakes. Omg! These are real deal dumplings! So fresh! I sat in my car and enjoyed myself!? The guys working were very friendly, fast, and helpful. I'm definitely telling others and coming back!! A short wait (5min) because it's freshly made. No problem for me I just chatted with a new customer.??

This hidden jem is an absolute must! Everything from the chicken dumplings to crab rangoon to green onion pancakes are absolutely amazing! To add the service is absolutely amazing and everything was fresh made to order. I will definitely be going back soon and bringing lots of friends.Vegetarian options: Try the pancakes or gyoza. To die for.Kid-friendliness: They have finger foods from gyoza to pancakes to chicken tenders.

Fresh and Authentic Chinese Cuisine"Visiting Tj’s Shanghai Dumplings was an experience to remember! The food was incredibly fresh and prepared right before our eyes. Unlike most Chinese restaurants, everything was made to order, with no frozen or pre-cooked dishes. The joy of watching the dumplings being rolled by Tj himself, and his wife's warm hospitality, added to the delightful dining atmosphere. It's evident that their 30+ years of ownership have created a place that truly values freshness and authenticity. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine Chinese cuisine!"
