Great service. No frills dine-in Asian restaurant. The menu isnt over the top but has some classics on there. They have a full bar. We all ordered the wonton soup. It was so flavorful and served at the perfect temperature. The pork dumplings were so tasty. They do offer veggie and chicken dumplings. We shared the jumbo shrimp and broccoli and the ginger chicken with a sweet chilli sauce both orders came with steamed white rice. Both entrees were served nice and hot a good bit of spice on both of them. The prices are a little on the higher end, however the portions were shareable read more

Stopped to grab a quick bite with my best-friend prior to us going to an event . There was no wait and the place was pretty empty . Staff were very pleasant from the time we walked in . We only ordered the sweet and sour cucumber salad and wings . To my surprise the sweet and sour cucumber salad was amazingggg. The wings were extremely good as well . read more

BEWARE: M Shanghai has been sold, not just moved. The reviews you see reflect the original M Shanghai on Grand, not the new location on Metropolitan. The recipes are no longer the same, and the flavors are lackluster--bland at best. It's disappointing that the original owner sold the restaurant name, allowing the brand to be misrepresented by its new owner, the Noodle Shop. What's worse is that not only has the quality taken a hit, but the prices remain just as expensive.

Noodles 8.5/10. Wish it had more sauce. And the fried pork dumplings are a 10/10! Very flavorful in the inside and juicy. I love the chili oil paired with the pork dumplings. Service: 8/10 they take a while (I ordered thru yelp pickup) Ambiance: it's a nice interior and vibe. Just briefly went in to pick up my food. I just order the pork dumplings when I come to this place. I want to try their other dumplings/buns. read more

Simply the best. I really do not understand why there are so many bad reviews. This place has very authentic and rare dishes that you simply Won't find anywhere else unless you're in China. I love this place and it's so special, and so underrated! read more

No flavor and so uninspired. We are very disappointed that after all these years they haven't figured it out. $80 spent and turns into landfill. But very fast delivery. read more

Wow. What a great little restaurant! Homemade love and care and skill are blended into all of their terrific dishes. The soup dumplings are superb. The steamed juicy pork buns, house special hot-n-sour soup, pork Shu-Mai, pork belly, and spicy bean paste noodle soup were all fresh, richly flavorful and satisfying. The service was friendly and accommodating. Pepsi/not Coke. We'll be back. read more

Shocked at the low ratings for this restaurant. It our go-to Chinese order - all the way to Crown Heights. The best hot and sour soup you've ever had. Love the ginger chicken. It's pricey, yes, but good quality and delicious Chinese. read more

Beyond disappointed. Was really looking forward to very flavorful Chinese food delivery, and everything in the order was bland w/ lack of ingredients. On top of that each dish was so expensive where quality doesn't meet the cost. Would not recommend. read more

To say the food was mediocre would be an overstatement. You can get better food for half the price at a local take out spot. This is NYC with some of the best Chinese spots. How is this place even open? Servers were sweet though. read more

M Shanghai delivers to Brooklyn Heights! This is such a solid place to order soup dumplings. Especially for delivery. So often you order dumplings and the skin breaks... but all my dumplings stayed intact and were completely delicious when I enjoyed them at home. I ordered their "awesome beef" and fried rice, and they we're definitely outshined by the soup dumplings. Order soup dumplings for delivery! read more

I got a delivery order from M Shanghai. The food I order were 59. Shredded Beef with Chili pepper $20.25 and 37. Shanghai-Style Lo Main with pork $14.75 For Chinese restaurant and the quality of food compare to the price I feel it is a bit too high. The taste of food is okay I like shredded beef but not crazy about Lo-main. Because of the price point plus the taste, I'm not sure if I want to order from this place again. read more

I ordered here for a couple of years during what I refer to fondly as M Shanghai's Old Republic period. I ordered a lot of Awesome Beef, justifying it being unique in the City for the dish it was to The Wife's skeptical eyebrow lowering. But, over time, the food became inconsistent to the point of Senate dissolution. It may have rebounded, but I'll never know. Food love affairs burn bright and die hard in Brooklyn. read more

Would do 2.5 stars if a could. Not work the money. The Amazing Salt and Pepper Shrimp - was not amazing. The shrimp were small. Some were soggy. There was a breading falling off. Was $30 with brown rice. The fried pork dumplings were a bit tough. The mixed vegetable platter. $20. Was like flavorless boiled vegetables. Wanted to like this place but couldn't. read more

Tonight I decided to splurge and pay double then I ever spend on mu shoo pork - they charge $18 for this dish and call it "fabulous mu shu." It's the worst I have ever had in my life. It's just plain flavorless cabbage. A couple of pieces of mushroom and flavorless pork mixed in. How could they call this fabulous and charge $18?! read more

Delicious soup dumplings, but they weren't labeled as soup dumplings on the menu? I think they were pork buns on there. Took a while for us to get our food, we were the only ones in the restaurant. Price was great for them! Outdoor seating is a hit or miss, we smelled trash every few minutes and then the scent went away, but what can you do. I would definitely come back for them dumplings. read more

Terence is the sweetest! Every time we come here with coworkers, he's always asking for our colleague, Bob, who travels to China quiet often. He always remembers all of us, and asks how everything is; he's delightful! Despite COVID, I am SO happy this place has survived and seems to be thriving just fine. There's outdoor and indoor dining being offered, and you need to show your vaccination card to eat indoors according to the current mandate. I appreciate them being so thorough and following the rules. Whenever we come, whether it's to celebrate someone's birthday, or just because we all didn't pack lunch, we get the sameeee reliable favorites: - soup dumplings - fried vegetable dumplings -beef with scallions and onions (also commonly called "awesome beef") -scallion pancake -pea leaves with garlic (on the dinner menu, but you can ask for it!) The inside is CLEAN and has a great vintage vibe; there's something about it that's really comforting and just super chill. Bring a friend; bring a coworker or two; or come by yourself and soak up the atmosphere and the great food! read more

I was really feeling Chinese food the other night so decided to give this place a try since sit was nearby. The place was pretty empty, but we decided to give it a try anyways. Sadly, the food was not very good, as I've cooked similar dishes at home that I think tasted better. read more

My coworker and I sat at the bar and were treated wonderfully by the staff. I got the Tik-Tac-Toe chicken, six piece steamed pork dumplings, and a mojito. The food was hot and the drink was delicious. The waitress made the dipping sauce for me and described the ingredients as she poured. She was very lovely. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was dim and moody, similar to a lounge. But I love that style. Would definitely go again. read more

Best place to have a meal with someone you love the staff are the sweetest and the food is perfect comfort food.

Everything we ordered was incredible. The awesome beef and juicy pork buns were our top dishes! Highly recommend.

Another covid-era delivery review... 3.5 stars. We don't like M Shanghai as much as we like M Noodle even though the menus somewhat overlap (so if you have a choice you know which to choose). But they still make good food here. Get the steamed pork buns or the sauteed pea leaves (pea tendrils). Those don't disappoint. read more

Food and hospitality is still solid but the dishes are exactly the same as they were back in 2009 however the prices don't make any sense. For example the price of the dishes changed twice already and it's only April. The owner did this before using Covid as the excuse. However I think it's completely unreasonable being that Wei which is less than 5 blocks away and has a nearly identical menu is averaging 5 dollars less on almost every "special". I can understand local restaurants struggling and trying to make ends meet but what we're seeing lately with M Shanghai is simply greedy price gouging. It's such a shame because the staff are so nice and welcoming but the owner is constantly raising the prices with no justification. Locals have been steering clear for more reasonable alternatives and it seems like the target audience is just tourists that don't know any better. read more

Born and raised in Shanghai, have to say this is a bit different from the authentic Shanghai Xiaolongbao. Not bad, but not great. I might be harsh as I grow up eating the food. The sauce is wrong. You k oh dip Xiaolongbao into simple vinegar, no soy sauce no sesame oil pls. Tried some beef stir fry, it is a bit too salty. Fried green veggie with garlic is good though. read more

Amazing Service. And amazing mixted veggies and amazing vibe. My friend and I looked around Brooklyn for a good vibe and we found it.

The food was fresh and very homemade. The prices were pretty high but the preparation was fast and food ready when I arrived. Scallion pancake was huge! read more

Average Chinese restaurant, located in Williamsburg. The dumplings here were very good and make a great appetizer. However some of their entrees left some to be desired - the beef with vegetables entree came with too much white rice and not enough beef/veggies. I don't know why so many restaurants serve this kind of rice when it's not even healthy. There was nothing else that came with the entree either, like soup or egg roll or tea. You can find some great Chinese restaurants in NYC in Chinatown in Flushing, NY, which have far better cuisine and decor. Of course Williamsburg is a great neighborhood and more accessible but if it lacks anything it's top-notch Chinese cuisine. read more

Visiting from San Diego, was told from a friend at home that I MUST go here, so we made a point to go. We stayed in Central Park but made the visit over the bridge for this place. Was awesome! Did not disappoint. Will be back whenever we visit. Great service. Delicious food. Super cute and cool vibe. We were a party of 6 (two of whom live in Brooklyn and had never been)! We all Loved it. Highly recommend. read more

During COVID, we ordered from here at least once a week. Their lunch specials are great, especially for the price. The other night, we finally got to swing by in-person and meet the team. They are such a lovely group of people! Someone told us that they will be hitting their 20th year in business this upcoming March, and that's awesome. Hands down some of the best scallion pancakes I've ever had. They are so crispy and, well, scallion-y. I like to eat it with hoisin sauce??? I think you get roughly around 8 for $8. We always get the shredded pork and bean curd, which comes with peppers. Usually in the delivery order it's not too spicy, but holy cow, eating IRL had me chugging water. SO SPICY! But so tasty. What I love most about M Shanghai is they use five-spice tofu, where a lot of restaurants would just use plain old tofu. Delicious! read more

This place is awesome. The food is fantastic. The service is phenomenal. The ambiance is super low key but they also have an which is best in the summer. The staff is super friendly and the food is extremely affordable. Love this spot! read more

This is the best Chinese food I've ever had. I haven't even finished my meal and I can't wait to stop typing this so I can take another bite. The soup dumpling to DIE for. Fried pork dumplings TOP NOTCH. The tea is beautiful and the wonderful lady working gave us a whole pot. The numbers 55 and 59 are currently sitting in front of me and they're delicious. This place is so cute too which is a plus. I love this place and I'm so happy I stumbled upon it! read more

I want to tell a story about May the owner....For the 4th of July I brought my mother there for her 88th Birthday! I made a reservation for 3-4 (I wasn't sure) a week in advance and May was so gracious she made sure we had a table right by the door...when my mother arrived there early from a car service and we were stuck by slow trains I was so worried...but when we arrived she was happily talking with May and enjoying a glass of Wine:) May was then so gracious waiting on us the entire time and suggesting the best dishes...my mother was so happy...when my mother remarked on how much she liked the wine and asked if she could see the label May gave her an entire bottle as a Gift! It was really a special lunch! We already love this place for the great food and especially the soup dumplings but now we are fans for life:) read more

M Shanghai is one of the best in NYC/williamsburg neighborhood. Their pork soup dumplings are amazing as well as the rest of the menu!

This is a fantastic chinese food restaurant. I have bought several people here and none of them have had a bad meal. The service is always friendly and the decor of the place is cozy and it is set up with long tables so you can eat family style. I recommend the Pork spicy wonton, The Juicy Soup Dumplings. The house special Lo-Mien, the Kung Pow Chicken, and The Awesome Beef. read more

Today, went to our (until now) our favorite Chinese restaurant. Usually staff is quite pleasant, but today it was different. The owner of the place was so ridiculously rude that we felt embarrassed in front of our business partner. I will not go soon to that place. We could except from owner to be that way. read more

Yummy in my tummy lol open late, they have a bar, plenty of seating. I'll continue to go back! read more

Ordered delivery from Caviar a few weeks ago and was overall pretty satisfied with the meal. I tried the Scallion Pancake, Steamed Juicy Pork Buns (Pork Soup Dumplings), Awesome Beef, and Chinese Eggplant. The appetizers (scallion pancake and soup dumplings) were both pretty good, however, the pancake could use more scallions, while the skin of the soup dumpling was overwhelmingly thick. The Awesome Beef and Chinese Eggplant were the stars of the meal; both were incredibly flavorful and delicious. One of the downsides to this place is price as it's quite a bit higher when compared to similar restaurants in Chinatown, however, if you live in Northwest Brooklyn, this is one of the better options for ordering Chinese delivery. read more
