Perfectly done so delicious
At Old Shanghai the Soup Dumplings are the Best !! Jumbo Shrimps and other's on the menu are so good 👍 I recommend this place, it's well sanitized !!
My family and my absolute favorite spot around! ❤ Although it's about an hour drive away, we’ve been coming here for over 4 years, and they seriously never disappoint. Every single time, the food is amazing, the portions are generous, and the service is top-tier that we make the drive to dine here.
My family follows a low-sodium diet, so we always ask for less salt and soy sauce whenever possible, and they are always so accommodating. It makes such a difference!

Old Shanghai Soup Dumplings offers tasty food, including shrimp fried rice, crab and pork soup dumplings, and chicken with chili pepper and rice. The namesake soup dumplings are absolutely worth it, with thin but expertly wrapped skins that contain hot, sippable soup and a tasty meat filling. They come six to an order in steamy bamboo baskets, and each table has soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil for dipping. The string beans are flash-fried to perfect tenderness with a hint of fermented funk, making them a standout dish.
While the soup dumplings are a highlight, some customers have found the beef with peppers to be mostly shredded peppers with little beef, and overly spicy. The beef chow fun lacked flavor for one reviewer, but others have praised the delicious food, such as the Kung Pao chicken and the Sticky Rice Shumai. Service is friendly and efficient, though some find it somewhat cold but frighteningly fast. The restaurant can get loud on busy days, and some dishes, like the chili shrimp and fried rice, take longer to arrive.
Highlights include the scallion pancakes, fried pork dumplings, beef lo mein, and the star pan-fried pork bun. Some customers appreciate the veggie mushroom bao buns and veggie dumplings as rare finds. Others note that extra rice comes at an additional cost. Despite minor quibbles, the delicious food keeps customers coming back, making it a favorite spot for Chinese food in Palisades Park, NJ.
