    Everything was so delicious and fresh. Took one star off because they didn't have fried rice that day. Will definitely go back again.

    My coworker was craving dumplings (again lol) so we decided to walk here for dinner and try this place out. She got the handmade pork w napa dumplings and I got the Ribeye fried rice. The fried rice was really good and had a very pleasant smell when i opened the box. The meat really was actually ribeye... so tender!! The fried rice was well seasoned and delish. An order of fried rice is a lot for one person so we ended up sharing it. The pork & napa dumplings were really good (according to her... I didn't have any since I don't eat pork). Overall, quick simple delicious dinner.

    Had some pork dumplings and ribeye noodle soup. Dumplings were nicely soupy and a bit on the saltier side, not overly so, but definetely on the savory side. Ribeye noodle soup had great flavor, subtle flavor, and ribeye was sliced thin (like Pho) and paired nicely with the noodles. I'll try more items next time.

    This is a hidden gem. Mom and pop restaurant inside the Hilton Plaza. Sorta don't want to write a review and create lines LOL They have one of the best xiao long baos I've tasted. The skin is so thin with tons of soup and flavor. Be careful when eating it cause it'll be hot! It's made to order, like you see them wrap it (not previously frozen or pre-made) so it did take some time for our order to come. I've also tried the spicy oil wonton, the Spicy Pig Stomach, green onion pancake and the pork intestine noodles. The spicy oil wonton is pretty good. Not too spicy and some sweetness and they cook it just right. the Spicy pig stomach was flavorful and tender and green onion pancake was crispy. I deducted 1 star cause of the pork intestine noodles. The soup was flavorful and all that but I was not the fan of the noodles itself. It tasted like the noodles are from those big boxes of long sticks of dried noodles you get at the supermarket. Not fresh at all. It was meh. Wasn't chewy and didn't catch on any of the flavor of the soup. I would stir clear of any noodle dish. Will definitely be back for the xiao long bao and dumplings. The other down side is they have short hours. I think they close at 6pm. Service was just ok, typical of most Chinese restaurants so don't expect much. Did not offer to refill our waters. It was only 1 person manning the place. Parking is free inside the Hilton plaza.

    Spicy Wontons

    One of the best dumplings, XLBs, and spicy wonton I've had in a while. Really juicy, really flavorful, and they put A LOT of filling in there. Think DTF but much more hole-in-the-wall and homey. Love it. We also got the spicy pork stomach, cucumber, and beef noodle soup. All really delicious this place deserves more stars.

    Seaweed soup, came with the dry noodle dish

    It is not easy to find a parking space, si when I do i stop and eat. Needless to say, everything was delicious: 1. Dry noodle with minced pork: Cale with soup. Both the noodle and soup were very good 2. Shanghainese pork chop: Good 3. Xiao-long-bao: Omg, sooooo good. It is better than Din-Tai-Fong and other restaurants'. It is a must try

    I went back with my partner and got two other dishes that were amazing. The Spicy Pork XLB (13.95) - Good spice and flavor. Never had XLB like this and like the original, it was JUICY and SOUPY. Also grabbed the Spicy Pork Noodle (with Soup). (12.95) So this is confusing. It's actually with soup.. on the side. it's dry noodle dish and it's phenomenal. Good spring, flavor, texture, everything. Such a solid dumpling spot and now my favorite for XLB. Whoahhh.

    Salt egg pork xlb
    Malia P.

    Everything said is true. This is the best, large soupy thin skinned xlb. They don't have ginger in their condiments and their vinegar tastes watered down. Their dumplings are perfection. Call ahead because once they sell out they close.

    *** Los Angeles Times 101 Best Restaurants (2022): #86 ***…read more Ended up at WangJia Restaurant this past Saturday night for dinner for my first time. We arrived around 6:15pm without reservations, and unfortunately, every table was taken. The wait ended up being ~15 minutes, which was not too bad. We decided to walk over to Blossom Market Hall down the street for a quick drink to pass the time. To eat, we ordered the Stewed Duck Soup Noodle ($13.99), Shanghai Style Sweet And Sour Spare Rib ($16.99), and the Crab Meat With Dry Noodle ($14.99). Each dish was satisfying. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the Stewed Duck Soup Noodle. The Crab Meat With Dry Noodle (one of my favorite dishes I tried in Shanghai) was admittedly a bit of a letdown. Overall, our experience here was positive one. Service was friendly, and the food came out surprisingly fast. The space itself is on the smaller side, but the ambiance is nice and intimate. If you're in the area, I'd recommend giving this place a try. I'd like to come back at some point to try more of their menu items.

Shanghai Stewed Pork and Squid with Tea Tree Mushroom: The dish is served in a classy clay vessel. This is Chinese surf and turf at its finest. There are super tender pork morsels with a little fat on the edges. The pork and the squid complement each other so well through the long braising with sweet, savory, and ginger flavors. The tea tree mushroom is straw-shaped and wrinkly with a nice texture. Dining Area: There are about a dozen tables inside. Parking: There's a parking lot, but many of the spots seem to be reserved for other businesses. There are also many street parking spaces.

I didn't use the restroom last time so this time I did and it was clean, two stalls, and two sinks.

I feel like they paid a lot of attention to us because they had the extra staff floating around (amazing by the way) it made us feel like VIPs We sat in the main hall, looks like there are private rooms available. The main dining area is well lit, Shanghai industrial era decor and some led screens. This place seems like a nice place for a small banquet.

    My parents said this place is popular since they do a lunch and dinner special that is cheap and…read moretastes good, so we came here for dinner on a Friday. Their dinner dishes are all $12.99 which is super rare! They usually have long wait times (can be up to 30mins) but today was not that crowded so it only took around 20 minutes. They are not super big inside but they do have two private rooms where we got seated with another party, which wasn't bad since we each just eat our own meals. They give free tea, which tasted like pretty good quality tea, and I drank quite a few cups. They also give free edamame and miso soup as appetizers, which was nice. The miso soup has some seaweed and soft tofu which I enjoyed. We ordered the Stir Fried Dry Bean Curd w/ Pork, Braised Pork in Brown Sauce, Stir Fried Cauliflower (not spicy), Fried Squid in Three Flavor Sauce, and the Shanghai Style Sweet Sour Pork. They are super busy but all the dishes were served fast, within 5 minutes of each other and only after maybe 10 minutes from when we ordered. The dishes all looked super good and not too oily. The portions are also reasonable for the price and is just enough for our group to share. My favorite was the Stir Fried Bean Curd w Pork and the Braised Pork. Both were flavorful but not too salty. And the braised pork was had the right amount of fat and the meat was cooked just right so it was tender and not too dry. The others were also seasoned well and we enjoyed it. The least favorite was the Shanghai Style Sweet Sour Pork because it was more sour than sweet and didn't have much meat on the bones, but I still thought it was pretty good. All the dishes were good and very worth the price. It is not something you can find easily at dinner time, especially with this quality. The white rice is also free of charge which is so rare! I recommend this place if you want cheap authentic Chinese food and great service with free appetizers. Just be prepared to come early or there will be long wait times. I will be coming back again.

Its basically just shrimp but they have vinegar sauce yoy can pour or dip. The portion is decent too. The crispy fish had no bones in it and the sauce was amazing with the fish. Fish wss really crispy. There were pieces of shrimp in that dish too. Ordered what my mom kept describing as bo luc lac//shaking beef but it was different. It didnt have enough pepper too it and it was sweeter. I looked at the menu and it said honey pepper. So makes sense why it was sweet. The garlic pieces were good. Some were still half raw so it was extra spicy. I thought the sweet and sour pork would be the same sauce as the fish but its different. Ot was more of a savory sweet sauce. I guess thats why its a shanghai version. Not sure if they sell the other one anymore that ive seen pictures of. I didnt try the snow peas but it mustve been good since it was all gone and we didnt have to take it home.

Outside of the restaurant, there's an outdoor space where they seem to store extra chairs and tables. I suppose it can be set up for Al fresco dining since I saw a solo customer at a small table.

The main dining room has mostly tables for 6 or more, and some smaller ones for 4 along the perimeter. I suspect most people come for their very reasonably priced lunch specials because that was the only menu given to us, so we went along. Food: Crispy fish filet with seaweed. Compared to many other places, their fish contains a lot more seaweed in the batter, and served with vinegar, which is very weird. Ideally, it should have a small side of salt & white pepper mix. 3.5/5 Hunan tofu: Full of flavor, hint of heat with shredded pork. Delicious. 4.5/5 Steamed whole fish: This was overcooked and the fish was a bit dry, and could use more flavor. 2/5 Braised pork belly in brown sauce. Fatty, meaty, tender and rich, served with a few quail eggs as opposed to stewed eggs. 5/5 Of you like pork belly Sautéed shrimp in egg white was not what we expected. Thinking it was a dry dish, instead it resembled shrimp in soft tofu with some light broth. Not my favorite. 2.5/5 Beef and scallions: All beef slices were very tender, and the scallions added a nice fragrant flavor to this dish. 4.5/5 The service was energetic, as if the servers appeared excited about something. The vibe was bustling and the noise level just increased over time so we just stopped talking. This recent visit was better than the previous ones, and I'll likely go back for their beef and pork belly dishes.
