Shanghainese Restaurants near Fort Lee, NJ

“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“We had the Mala Xian Guo (spicy hotpot) and it was great overall. I wouldn’t recommend to put the bean curd roll and fried dough to it because it melted when it was cooked. An uncle was working all by himself when we went there but it was impressive he had everything covered. I’d come here again to eat Mala.“

“I came here for a casual dining experience and had a great time. I ordered the dumpling sampler and the shredded beef mini bao. I personally enjoyed the chicken and vegetable dumplings the most—they had a soft texture and delicious flavor. The shredded beef bao was also excellent—the beef was tender and paired perfectly with the soft, fluffy bao.

My daughter ordered the chicken dumplings and really liked them as well.

We also tried the jasmine tea, which was warm and very pleasant—light and refreshing, a great match for the meal.

Service was fast, and even though they made a small mistake with the order, they corrected it right away. Staff was polite and attentive. The place is clean, and they clean up quickly after each customer leaves, keeping everything ready for the next guest.

There was no background music, but that actually made it easier to have a conversation.
Overall, I definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the area and looking for dumplings or a casual dining option.“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“Tasty food with superb prices as well as attentive, friendly service. delectable soup dumplings with juicy tender meat wrapped in a chewy doughy wrapper are so appetizing.... I also love the location of the restaurant.“

“Delicious food and fast friendly service🍜 soup dumplings & Mongolian beef 👍🏽 my favorite“

“I had a lunch there. They have a lunch special with rice, soup and chinese tea. It was less than 10 USD. The restaurant is clean and clam.\n\nIf you look for a reasonable lunch in Canal St., it is recommended for you. \n\nLunch special is offered on weekday not weekends.“

“I’ve been to another Che Li location a few times and visited this location for the first time back in May. The restaurant’s design is always lovely — each dining area is built like a small wooden oriental courtyard, which matches the Zhejiang cuisine theme perfectly.

We ordered quite a lot, and every dish turned out to be enjoyable. The crab roe noodle was especially delicious, better than the version I make at home lol. The soup dumpling were also quite good. Overall, a very refined and satisfying meal.“

“Ate there for the first time today and I was welcomed immediately and was seated very quickly. I don't know who the specific woman is, but she was very alert and had great hospitality. The food portion was very generous and decent Manhattan prices. She was very attentive and communicated often with me to make sure I was okay. She's a talker too and a good listener :). Service was fast. Place is well organized and not overwhelming.“

“Perfect soup dumplings, other dishes tasty as well, great service! Highly recommend.“

“I went here with my brother. I loved it. Tea, dumplings, dessert (a sweet rice soup (soup?)). It was all good. I didn’t get any duck. I’ll have to come back for that. Very reasonably priced.“

“Caught my eye when the restaurant was first announced right next to some other fave lunch spots Gogo Curry & former Sakura Terikayi😢. Being a Shanghai native, tasting the juicy and crispy Sheng Jian Baos offered here brings back fond memories of ordering from street stalls back home. There so much soup encased in these that they blow away mid soup dumplings from some place, looking at you Din Tai Fung😏

Twice when I dined in, waiter either got the wrong order or included an item I didn't order, so do point at the menu to make sure. Being made fresh means items may take 15+ minute to be ready when you order in store for takeout, well worth the wait.“

“Hidden gem on Queens Blvd… food was delicious. Ordered more than we should’ve but we wanted to try a few different things, and we had leftovers… we ordered dumplings, General Tso’s chicken, tiny pork buns, fried rice & sesame noodles.. I gotta go back and try other things…“

“All I gotta say is, this place was Simplistic and Comforting. I decided to come here on a Saturday with a friend of mine, it was freezing outside, very uncomfortable to say the least. We decided to pop our heads in here for a minute just to warm up and see what this semi-underground restaurant had to offer. We took a peek at their lunch special and decided to take a seat at a table.

The Atmosphere of the place is very quiet, soft, comforting, loft-like. Soft music playing in the background made it feel some sort of an aesthetic, which personally, was very pleasing as we needed a space to rewind a bit. Tables and Seats were very clean as well, with a lot of cutlery.

The Service was great! We were a seated by an older gentleman who was very helpful and polite in taking our order. Straightforward which made thinks a lot quicker.

The food was excellent. I don’t have any complaints for it whatsoever. Our dishes came with a choice of soup, I decided to go with the Egg Drop. The soup had some sort of texture which made it soft, creamy and delicious, honestly wanted to have one more. Then came the Pad Thai. Quite literally the perfect portion we needed just to warm up and finish our day off. The flavor and spice to it was amazing! Also had to try out their Bubble Tea, which was great as well!

To end it of, this was a VERY good restaurant. I would absolutely highly recommend this restaurant to others for a quick bite. I gotta say, their prices were also reasonable. This is a great place to sit down with a family member or two, friends and others. I would most definetly be coming back here for more! ❤️🙌“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“I tried the assorted duck vermicelli soup which had a nice light broth. The chili oil enhanced it as well. Many of the duck pieces were dry and tough to eat. Additionally, I found the noodles undercooked so they were difficult to eat. But overall, it was a fairly cohesive meal.“

“Would recommend coming. Even With a long wait time(we didn't wait that long) as it'll be worth it. The food tasted so fresh. It comes piping hot. Great choices and will happily alter dishes to suit your taste(take out certain veggies or sauces). Quick and attentive service. The chicken and corn soup was incredible dont be fooled that its just a 'soup'. The crab and pork soup dumplings another top recommendation. Chow mein noodles were good but not overly 'wow'. The chicken in sesame *chefs kiss*.“

“The restaurant exceeded my hopes. The menu items taste good, won't empty your wallet and the staff treats you right. Service was lovely. The plate comes filled, the cooking shows expertise, and taste stands out. We'll definitely bring the family back here.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Shanghai cuisine, Shanghai flavor restaurant“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“I lived in NY for 37 years and nothing beats the food. That being said, I moved to Florida 4 years ago for work and haven't been back until last week. We went in for Thanksgiving (work), and decided we would do take out for dinner. This place was amazing. Food is always what I expected.....New York food is the best. The staff was super friendly, the prices were not anything crazy, and the food was ready within 10 minutes. We brought it back to the hotel and ate all of it. I don't know how food is where you are, but they always bury it in rice. Not here. They gave so much chicken and pork on top of the rice, I was very satisfied. Highly recommended.“

“We tried Lao Ke Le Shanghai Cuisine and the place has a fun old-Shanghai vibe — neon signs, lanterns, even a rickshaw.

The food was pretty good overall. They also gave us some soup dumplings, which was nice, but the skin was a bit dry.

Overall, a good spot if you’re in the mood for Shanghainese dishes.“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“enjoyable and great food“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

“My all time favorite soup dumpling place...lots of soup and thin skin. Just don’t order too many at one time cus they stick & break & the soup leaks out. 😢“

“service is topnotch friendly..food is superb 10 out of 10! enjoying Chinese cuisine to another level!“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Ok so I love Din Tai Fung, I’ve been to it in Taiwan. The location here is really beautiful, I like the service and the atmosphere. However, if I were to compare it to Taiwans Din Tai Fung it does fall short of the taste of the noodles and wonton soup 😭 The chocolate xiao long Bao’s were really really good! Better than I expected. The normal xiao long Bao’s are good too but a bit dry on the top. The wonton soup had no taste though. The bok choy was very yummy and the cucumber salad tasted the same as how I remembered it in Taiwan too. But like they do charge more here so I did expect it to be the same or better!“

“A must try! I have been going here for over 10 years. The soup dumplings, sticky rice in bamboo and scallion pancakes are a family favorite. The food is delicious, the space is clean and the staff is attentive and friendly. Cash or debit card only and price right!“

“The food delivers exactly what you hope for. Beginning with service, employees here set high standards. The energy makes you smile. I'm impressed by the value, portion sizes, food quality, and service standards. This restaurant enhances our local options.“

“Incredible above and beyond authentic and luxury Chinese cuisine in the heart of Long Island City. Our server Tony was a master of ceremony with being able to keep our dining experience seamless and so enjoyable on Chinese New Year eve. The food was so delicious, so flavorful and huge portions. The pre-fixe is a fantastic deal. Jing Li restaurant is a gem!!!“

“Awesome scallion pancakes, hot and sour soup, and chicken fried rice. We eat here as soon as we land from Saint Louis each time we visit NYC. Staff is extremely attentive and always on top of anything you need.“

“Good ambient Good food Great services love this restaurants“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“The pork soup dumps was a SOLID NINE OUT OF TEN. Was not expecting to walk in here but they had a solid deal of $6.95 for the pork soup dumps specifically. You get 6 in one order. I know what you’re thinking, they look alittle sweaty but they’re good! Temp was perfect where it wasn’t burning your mouth. The skin of the dumpling was nice and thin. Soup was rich, can’t complain. Match this was a coke and it’s the perfect recipe. I got 2 orders. Only down side is that I wish they spaced them out alittle more. They got stuck together . Did loose like 3 dumps that fell apart. Just a rinky dinky place. Unsure if I’ll go back for anything more than the dumps but it was a vibe. They need to get new menus. I saw ALOT of orders fly out there. They must be doing something right“

“One of the best fried rice they have. The food is really good. Friendly service.“

“This is a lovely restaurant..we were the only ones dining there at 4pm on a Thursday, but my oh my were our dishes a gastronome's delight...the garlic chili noodles, mapo tofu, and dry pot beef were indescribably delicious. The young man who served us was also behind the register and he never returned to ask whether we needed anything...BUT he quickly came to our table when I got his attention. He graciously packed my leftovers for carryout after misunderstanding and placing more fire in the table top stove underneath my dry pot beef. I would definitely return to Baodega to try some other dishes!“

“Perfectly done so delicious“

“Excellent service and delicious food. I had the vegi fried rice and Peppers with beef.“

“Good food and beautiful decor. The service is very good too.“

“This place has the best, most authentic wontons I've ever had outside of Shanghai. Both the small and large wontons are delicious. Every time I go I get the large wontons to eat and a frozen pack to go. They have a delicious lion's head meatball too. I'd go daily if I lived nearby.“

“Amazing experience here, even with a full restaurant they got food out so quickly and everything was delicious. The chicken 12 pc was great, the spiral potato item with wasabi sauce on it was SO GOOOOD. All of the dumplings we tried were very flavorful, loved the pork and chive. Would definitely come back.“

“Went here because another place had a long line and so glad we did! Such a cute unexpected interior. Love the time out dining cage, would love to be seated there. The crème brûlée boba drink was decadent and not too sweet and overwhelming, but a nice treat! The pork soup dumplings and scallion pancakes were PERFECT but the star of the show was the crispy black pork potstickers I would order 2 more of them if I had a Time Machine.“

“great food for the price. 🤗“

“Been here a few times for to-go orders. the quality is solid - dumplings are mostly consistent, as are the chicken dishes. The entree portions are good for the price. Very bare-bones seating area (2-3 small parties tops) but that doesn't affect the food.“

“This place understands portion sizes that work. The food follows authentic cooking practices. You'll be intrigued by the atmosphere. I appreciate Yeah Shanghai Deluxe for their excellent meals and employee service. Your payment yields appropriate value.“
