Shanghainese Restaurants in New York, NY

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

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

“The food was absolutely delicious! We had chicken lo mein, soup dumplings, and sweet and sour chicken (with sauce on the side - our preference.) They have plenty of seating, good service, and the food came out in good timing and was very fresh and hot. We also received hot tea when we were seated. 10/10 recommend!“

“I just want to say this I think about this place often. I no longer live in NYC but I used to come here all the time for soup dumplings. I haven't been in awhile but those soup dumplings were so amazing I think about this place all the time. No where near me sells them. I miss this place. Come here and have soup dumplings. They're phenomenal.“

“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.“

“Din Tai Fung has been a long-time favorite of mine, and I’ve visited their locations across Asia more times than I can count. So, I was really looking forward to the opening of this NYC location. It took some time, but as soon as I walked in, I could see why. This isn’t like the more casual branches I’m used to – they’ve gone all out, creating a stunning space that’s perfect for a special night out. Though it’s a large venue, it feels intimate, and the table arrangement makes conversations easy. Service was excellent; our waiter was excited to introduce us to the restaurant and stayed attentive throughout the meal.

Now, the food! We tried two varieties of their signature xiaolongbao – the traditional pork and the pork and crab. Both were superb and just as good as what you’d find in Asia. The paper-thin wrappers are some of the best I’ve had outside of the Pacific, with great flavor and delicious soup inside. The pork chop fried rice was also outstanding – tender, juicy pork served over perfectly cooked fried rice. We also enjoyed the seaweed and tofu salad, which was a great starter. I did miss the wild vegetable tofu and sesame oil salad I’ve had in Asia, but I imagine it might be due to ingredient availability here. Prices are a bit higher than their Asian branches, but for me, the atmosphere and quality were worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

Note: Unlike other locations, this one is reservation-only.“

“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“

“Got the pork belly which was honestly one of the best dishes I’ve had - beautiful taste and fall apart in your mouth ! The cucumber salad was great and refreshing and the rabbit deserts were delightful ! Very fast and prompt service with lovely and nice waiters !! Would highly recommend !“

“Great and delicious food. Fast and efficient service. One thing I noticed, is that the lady who greeted in the way have some preference. She didn't greet us out for some reason. It's not a big deal. But she did greeted to others with a big smile. Maybe I m seeing too.“

“Shanghai Villa is a fantastic family-owned restaurant with incredible food and genuinely kind people. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The family who runs it is incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful small business!“

“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.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“A chill and restful oasis amidst a stressful, filthy, stinky and noisy Chinatown.

The food was fresh and tasty, the service inviting and comforting.

I visited with my 96 year old MIL in a wheelchair and everyone here was very accommodating and pleasant.
We'll be back.“
