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.“

“The food and services was amazing and my favorite was the scallions pancakes. The spicy wontons were amazing ask for the chili oil. And the soup dumplings are hot and delicious. The customer service is great and everyone working was polite and the atmosphere was great. Will also order on Uber Eats as well if I can’t stop by the store. Give them a try everyone.“

“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“

“456 Shanghai serves popular Chinese dishes that appeal to most people, though the flavors are fairly ordinary. Their lunch special is a very cost-effective option for a quick and filling meal. For only $9.25, you get rice, an entrée, and hot and sour soup. Overall, the food quality matches the price.“

“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’ve been to this place many times, probably almost 10 times by now! These days, it’s pretty rare for anyone to visit a Flushing restaurant that often unless it’s really good. Great service and great food every time!

The Fish Head Casserole is a must order! For $25, it comes with so much tofu, glass noodles, and veggies, super hearty. They always give free soup dumplings for orders over $30, and they are really solid. Honestly, I think they are some of the best soup dumplings in Flushing, even better than Nan Xiang.

The Chestnut Chicken Stew is also good, but the portion is much smaller than their other dishes so it is not as worth trying.

The Squirrel Fish is also pretty good, though I forgot to take a picture, and the portions are very big.

Will definitely come back again!“

“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*.“

“Literally ordered one item — their fried tofu vermicelli noodle soup — and was shocked by the portion size. A huge bowl of their tasty duck bone broth, bok choy incuded as well, and all for $5. In this economy? Insane! Will definitely be back to try more of their menu if ever in the area!“

“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.“

“Shanghai cuisine, Shanghai flavor restaurant“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“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“

“Owen and the staff were all fantastic. Patrick at the bar was very friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely return each time I'm in NYC. Everything was amazing. Pork dumplings, chocolate dumplings with the sea salt foam, and their signature shochu sesame espresso martini are an absolute must. I'll be dreaming of them until next time.“

“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.“

“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“

“I got to this gem by accident , and it’s an excellent place for lunch or a simple dinner.

I ordered the shrimp and pork steamed dumplings and seaweed shrimp soup. The dumplings were absolutely delicious—well-cooked, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The soup, on the other hand, was more like a broth and a bit too salty for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. Overall, I had a wonderful time at this cafe.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

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

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

“Perfectly done so delicious“

“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.“

“great food for the price. 🤗“

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

“So happy to have stumbled onto this spot! Food is delicious, well priced, and comes out fast! We were served by an adorable older Asian gentleman 🙏🏼

Loved the classic and pan fried soup dumplings, hot pot style fish fillets, and roast pork buns“

“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.“

“A great experience with really good food. Portions are just right (portions are big for 1 girl - I wish I could share as I ordered too many meals dim sum is amazing together with rice and sweet-sour pork) the cooking feels authentic and the atmosphere is engaging. Shanghai Deluxe delivers excellent meals, friendly service and great value for the price. I sit in a round table with other people and we could all enjoy our meal and pleasant conversation) 🍽️✨“
