    I'm posting this here because DoorDash was glitching and wouldn't allow me to submit my review there. I was really disappointed with my order from Shanghai Taste in Plano. I'm feeling under the weather and specifically ordered because I wanted something hot, fresh, and comforting. Unfortunately, the food was anything but that. The egg rolls were extremely greasy, tasted like they had been refried, and did not taste fresh at all. I added the pics from the air fryer, just to crisp them up, then moved them to a paper towel and that was oiled up as well. Discarded. The pork dish was overly salty and oily. The beef broth was basically oil, and the beef itself was extremely fatty. The hot and sour soup was also disappointing and lacked the flavor I was expecting. For the price, I expected much better quality and freshness. I was really looking forward to a warm, soothing meal while I wasn't feeling well, and instead I was very disappointed with the entire order. Unfortunately, I would not order from here again. Maybe a dine in experience is better-

    This is my first time here and I'm having a really good experience. The staff is really kind and the food is amazing. I got the pan fried dumpling, spicy wontons w/chili sauce and beef soup dumplings... all of which were fantastic. Will definitely be coming back. Prices are very affordable too!

    Pan fried soup dumplings

    Love a place with good dumplings and noodles and I think this will become one of them! Came before dinner rush so was seated immediately. The pan fried soup dumplings came out first and fast but it was piping hot and super juicy!! We genuinely enjoyed the broth in it. Also ordered the regular soup dumplings - appreciated that the dumpling wrapper was thick enough to hold the soup but still thin enough and maintained a good chew. The vinegar in the pump bottle is revolutionary! Helped control the amount way better. Cucumber salad is more on the tangy side and not spicy. Green beans were cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed the texture of the scallion noodles but it was a bit too salty. Added vinegar and chili oil to cut it and that was amazing. Their menu isn't too extensive but they make the food well. I would definitely come back

    Finally got a chance to check this out with some friends, and it did not disappoint. It is a smaller venue but when I arrived with a party of 6 we were able to get sat right away. The server was friendly and never let out water run out. As you can tell my the photos we had a bit of everything and everything was delicious. The highlights were: The sweet and spicy porn ribs. They had great flavor and were great for sharing. Not really that spicy so don't let the name fool you. The Shanghai Style Fried Noodles were a hit with everyone. We did chicken and beef and the noodles were perfectly made and the flavors shown through in the dish. Green Beans. I'm not even a veggie person but theses were delicious. The spicy wontons. No one at the table had a bad thing to say about them. The lowlights: Shanghai Fried rice. Not that it was bad just wasn't my style of fried rice. Tasted more scallion forward than I would like. Chili spicy chicken appetizer (not pictured). Again, not that it was bad. It was extremely flavorful but didn't realize it was cold so was taken aback. I still would recommend giving a try as long as you know that. Fried Soup Dumplings. Again, not bad just not as good as the steamed ones. Definitely will be back again!

    I'm sitting at 3.7 so I'll round up. The spicy wonton was my favorite. The other dumplings were very mid. Soups dumpling were mid because they were too meat smelling for me. The pan fried soup dumplings were not bad but not great either (6.6/10). Overall, most dishes were very pork forward in both smell and taste. Service was so so. Interior is gorgeous.

    If you are in the Plano area...you lucked out with this amazing spot. It's a fairly small place with amazing decor and extremely clean. Service is spot on...as in they are ready to help you as soon as you get seated. It was somewhat odd that they gave us a paper to fill out what we wanted. Works out so you know exactly what you are getting. To start, we shared the Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs. These were on the appetizer menu, but what you get was a big serving - so much in fact that we took half of it home. The meat was cooked just right and the flavor was good. The spicy chili wontons are fire! Highly recommend getting them. Deliciousness overload! Can't wait to come back.

    No frills Shanghai style restaurant in the new shopping center across from mitsuwa. They have all the classics, even having sheng jian bao! Everything was tasty, ordering was quick, and although the place is small, the waiting area lets you watch the aunties making the soup dumplings so no complaints from me! I did add extra vinegar to the hot and sour soup but that may be a me issue it had a good consistency and variety of veggies.

    Amazing experience. The restaurant is small and cute, but very clean and fresh. You can see the workers prepare the food as you walk in. The food is very clean and sweet. We ordered the 桂花糖藕 and the 鱼香肉丝 which were seasonal items. The food came out fresh. Crab xiaolongbao 蟹小笼包 were really unique and delicious. The cucumber salad was great and we also ordered the chocolate xiaolongbao and the another soup bun dish (弄堂生煎包) too. If I didn't live so far away I would go back much more often. But still I am glad I was able to come in today.

    We dined at Shanghai Taste with my brother and sister in law. Everything was yummy! My brother ordered for us so I'm not entirely certain what we had but it was tasty. The dumplings are soup dumplings, so think bursting. We enjoyed bok choy and garlic green beans, in addition to three different types of dumplings and noodles. Their beverage offerings can use improvement. I'd love to see them offer hot tea. It does not appear they have a beer/wine license which could potentially be in the works since my brother said they are fairly new. A cold beer could pair rather nicely with their menu. Service was great! Would definitely recommend if soup dumplings are your jam. Pretty popular spot, with limited seating (something to consider as you may have to wait for a table, we didn't but as we dined several other parties did).

    Jump ball for last dumpling!!!

    The staff was awesome and very accommodating of special dietary concerns and working around toddlers and an infant that covered the floor with a rice decor. The Shanghai style vegetable dumplings were a big hit. Shanghai vegetable fried rice was my nom nom but you must tell them no sausage. Shanghai fried noodles was a big hit. Noodles were fresh and not over cooked. Really enjoyed and will return.

We arrived on a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m., and surprisingly, we were the only customers there, considering it was peak dinner time. We also discovered that we needed to pre-order the duck in advance. Luckily, the lady informed us that there was one available for us, but it would take about 30 minutes. We ordered the crispy cucumber salad, xiao long bao, and the dry-fried string beans. The dry-fried string beans were my favorite. The string beans had a delightful crisp texture and a flavorful taste. The cucumber salad was also good, but some parts were a bit soggy. The XLB skin was too thick and chewy, and it didn't taste like the usual soup dumplings, which was disappointing. I was excited for the duck, but I was honestly disappointed when it arrived. The portions were quite small, considering it was a whole duck. It wasn't carved tableside, which was a letdown. Some parts of the duck were dry, and the skin wasn't crispy enough. To add to the disappointment, they charge extra for almost everything. If you want more pancakes or their homemade duck sauce (which tasted like black bean sauce), you'll have to pay an additional $5. Another thing to note is that they are BYOB, so you can bring your own alcohol. However, the menu pictures on Yelp are outdated, and they only offer whole Peking duck, not half orders. Overall, the food was just okay, and I'll probably try a different spot when I'm in the mood for duck again.

Some notable items on the menu include soup dumpling and noodle soups. There are chef's recommendations on the back of the menu. Those same recommendations are also hanging up against the wall. They accept credit card. However, there was a cash special going on when we visited - pay cash to get a free 牛肉酥饼 with your meal. Order at the register, get a number card, grab a seat and wait for your food to be brought to you table. Water and utensils are self service. Someone will come by to bus the table when you're done. I am unsure when payment happens as we paid after ordering, but we saw others pay after eating. Maybe you get to choose or it depends on what or how you order? We ordered the Jelly Tofu (salted), Jelly Tofu (sweet), JiangNan Style Ham, Chinese Dough Stick, Signature Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao, Pan Fried Forest Farm Pork Bun. Jelly Tofu (salted) - Overall, it was refreshing. It had cilantro, wood ear, shiitake mushroom, and a salty broth. Jelly Tofu (sweet) - This was not sweet at all. I was completed surprised by the flavor. The liquid was wine (酒酿). Maybe that's how it's supposed to be in Jiangzhe cuisine but I did not like it. JiangNan Style Ham - It was chewy and refreshing. It was good. Chinese Dough Stick - It was average. I wish I had some soy milk to go with it, but the soy milk was sold out by the time we arrived. Signature Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao - There is a very strong fishy flavor. Fishy flavor is usually good but it was so strong that it overpowered the rest of the dish. Even eating it with the vinegar didn't help. On top of that, the dumplings were completely stuck to the paper and the dumplings would rip releasing all of its soup juices. This is not my first time dealing with soup dumplings so I totally get that it is a delicate process, but this was almost beyond master level chopstick skills. Pan Fried Forest Farm Pork Bun - It was pretty good. It was also filled with soup which is hot and explodes everywhere if you are unawares. Be careful. 牛肉酥饼 - It was 酥 enough but the filling was average. The price is a bit expensive for the most average quality that you get.

The soups were tasty, my personal favorite is the wonton soup the wontons has a decent amount of filling and was seasoned well, not to salty like I've experienced at a few other places. My sister enjoyed the King Pao chicken, she said it was one of the better ones she has tasted. My husband loves the steamed buns and steamed dumplings.

First, many of the dishes lacked the authenticity. The hot and sour soup wasn't sour at all and was overwhelmed by the flavor of sesame oil. The black bean noodles tasted like instant noodles you could make at home, and we ended up adding black vinegar ourselves just to bring some acidity and balance to the dish. The sweet chili shrimp also didn't taste fresh. At the end of our meal, we literally said "this tasted like Chinese buffet food." The service and dining environment made the experience even worse. Throughout our meal, we constantly heard dishes being slammed around from servers cleaning tables. At one point, something was dropped so hard that dishes shattered across the floor. A trash cart was parked right next to our booth while we were eating, and the staff even started mopping the floor directly in front of us during the lunch rush. I understand that restaurants often hire seasonal staff during the summer, but proper training is still important. The way the dishes were handled throughout our meal was loud, chaotic, and disruptive, making it difficult to enjoy our dining experience. It's unfortunate because our first experience of this restaurant was great, but this visit fell well short of our expectations.
