Came here today with family - we were a party of 5. Saw this place on social media and we decided to check it out. Was with family - in the moment and enjoying so I have no photos, sadly. Their alcohol menu consists of beer and wine. Tsing tao and Sauvignon blanc were our drinks of choice - as they were out of both options of sake. To eat - we had a little of everything - the wonton soup, veggie dumplings, pork soup dumplings, the ribs, braised beef noodles, the eggplant dish and ones of the fish. Everything was absolutely delish and the service was quick. They were also out of the dessert we wanted - the green tea cheesecake but we had the pumpkin dessert which was phenomenal! It came out hot and had red bean paste in the middle! Absolutely delicious. Took off one star because there were a couple of things we requested that were unavailable but aside from that the food was delicious and the service was great! Definitely check them out - there are multi locations in the city! read more

The food is excellent as is the ambiance. Although the soup dumplings are the star, the noodle dishes are also great. Limited menu, but everything is delicious. The service is also attentive and helpful. read more

Last year I ate at their East Village location, but learned they also have one in Murray Hill! The dim sum and entrees here are pretty good and fairly priced, so I stopped by for a lunch and ordered: Steamed Crab And Pork Soup Dumplings Steamed Chicken Sui Mai Pan Fried Pork Dumplings Steamed Chicken Dumplings Shrimp Spring Rolls Sliced Braised Beef Noodle Soup Fried Rice Yangzhou-Style (Shrimp) Dry-Fried Green Beans With Minced Pork Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce Their soup dumplings and siu mai hit the spot! The other two dumplings dishes though were just okay. I love the fried rice here. It has so much flavor and was packed with fresh shrimp. The green beans are crunchy and addicting and the garlic sauce pork was saucy and had lots of veggies in there. Pass on the noodle soup. The waiters were a bit snobby at the beginning, but were nice after we paid the bill. It's a Chinese restaurant and I know how my people are, so I wasn't expecting amazing service from the start honestly. The place was empty when my friend and I went in to eat but it was lunch time. I am not sure if they get busy at night. read more

Had a great experience at Tipsy Shanghai. Wuxi pork ribs and pan-fried pork xiaolong bao were highlights for me. Definitely will return

It's a good place. The food is authentic, the servers are quick and very nice. The place is a nice local vibe even in the city and the prices are fairly reasonable. The xiao long bao was a bit think and needed a bit more flavor. The sweet and sour rubs came out quickly but were a little overcooked among them tough. The shrimp sui mai was good and had a nice size to them. I'm sure if I had other options, there would be better choices with great flavors. Still a good spot to try out. read more

The location and menu looked pretty authentic. Everything from the stewed fish slices to the crispy orange beef was spot on, with generous portions. However, the Xiao Long Bao was a bit lacking. I'm not sure if it was steamed too long or left in the steamer and prepped too far ahead of time, but about half of them came already leaking their broth. I also wanted to try their signature smoked carp, but they were out, as well as the sticky rice with chicken. That was disappointing, especially considering it was only 7 p.m. on a Saturday. read more

This place really has that authentic Shanghainese taste since there's a butt load of sugar in every dish. I enjoyed my eel noodle soup and the noodle was so silky like the one you get in Shanghai. The string beans were less fried than the usual ones at the Sichuan places which I really enjoyed. read more

Authentic cuisine in a cute environment! Hole in the wall place that's apparently been around for generations. The service was excellent and speedy. Not super Americanized, which is a plus in my book. Price is steeper than its competitors, so I would reserve it for a nicer night out in the future. read more

Service was nice and the restaurant itself was quiet at least when we were there early around 6 which we appreciated. The food was pretty bland in seasoning. We had two apps and two entrees and both frankly were a little tasteless and needed more depth and seasoning. Nothing to write home about for us. The green tea cheesecake was excellent and was made by one of our servers! We really wanted the food to taste better. It was really lacking in 'chinese' flavor. read more

I chose this place due to the solid reviews and an cash back offer on the upside app. Foodwise, I ordered the chicken noodle with mushroom soup. Unfortunately, the dish was quite bland and lacked flavor, so I ended up asking for hot sauce to add some kick. I probably should have gone with the spicy option, but overall, I wasn't very impressed. (It was still pretty bland after I added hot sauce.) The staff suggested that I come back and try the spicy version next time. But honestly, I don't think Ill be returning. At least service wise they were patient with me as I couldn't decide between their lunch menu or the noodles. read more

Saw their great rating on Google and lunch special menu and decided to give it a try! We got the $18.95 lunch special that came with appetizer, noodles, main dish, and a drink. The environment was super cute, I love their plates. It was very quiet on a weekday afternoon. The appetizers were great - the soup dumplings and fried dumplings were so juicy. Main dishes (ribs and pork belly) were also very flavorful and tender. However, the noodles were kind of a let down. I got the braised beef noodles and was expecting flavorful noodle soup. However, it was very bland like salt water with no other flavor- even the meat was very bland and did not taste braised. Besides the noodle dish, everything else was good. Service was friendly and quick. They gave free strawberry ice cream after the meal. read more

Really great home style Shanghainese food. Lots of healthy options like shredded tofu (like tofu in noodle shape) and vegetables in broth. The wine chicken is delicious and has a lot of meat. The shepherds purse fish filets were really savory. All in all the food was great. A little disappointed in the shengjianbao 生煎包 but it's okay, the healthy options are harder to find elsewhere. Price is great for the portion sizes. Service was polite and prompt. The restaurant is fairly quiet, clean, and has some pretty decor with vases and decorative plates on display. Definitely a place I'd come back to for some healthy Chinese. read more

The food and service were extremely inadequate. The waitress could minimally speak English. One of our group got one of the specials with beef it was unedible. The beef in the dish was extremely tough. Another member of our group asked them to make a noodle dish with chicken. The taste was not very good. Those of us who had Orange Chicken or General's chicken were fine with our choices. Another issue was that one of our group asked about using the bathroom. We were told that there was not one. Either the waitress did not understand what she was asking or she did not care. We heard another table ask a similar question and they were directed to one. read more

Found this place on a Google search while in New York. This location is small but a good manageable size. Staff are awesome despite how busy they were. They cater for nut allergies which was perfect. We ordered chicken and pork dumplings which was steamy and juicy. Very flavorful. Also had the veggie fried rice and garlic eggplant which was just yummy. The gravy on the eggplant dish paired SO well with the friend rice. Everything was tasty. I had the left over for breakfast which made my day. The restaurant is very clean and well organized. The ambiance is very homely type. I would go here again. read more

We weren't hungry for a full dinner and our hotel is just around the corner, so we decided to order some steamed dumplings and chicken fried rice. My companion considers himself a dumpling expert, and gives them a 7.1 and commented they were a bit on the small size. I thought the fried rice was very tasty and it was a nice sized portion. We went to pick them up and it's a small place but very clean and decorated extremely nicely. I will definitely try them again for some other dishes. read more

This feels like a rerun because I could swear I reviewed one of TS' other locations years ago, but I can't find any record of it and my cobwebby brain can't remember anything either. So here we go again. Ain't senility grand? We ordered a ton as a group of 7, sharing everything family-style. Each person ended up owing $38 all included, which is practically free in these inflationary times. Gotta love that. The good: - Osmanthus Salted Duck: Lip-smackingly umami - Shrimp Shumai: Classic and solid - Xiaolong Bao: Also classic and solid - Spring Noodles: Not as laden with veggies as I would've liked, but appropriately savory - Peking Style Minced Pork Noodles: Not my cup of tea, but well made - Wuxi Pork Ribs: Their signature dish and with good reason. Probably the best dish of our batch - Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili: Generously overfilled with tender fish, but the broth was a bit too oily - Salted Egg Custard Bun: Who doesn't love this for dessert? - Creamy Custard Bun: More custard deliciousness, just not as runny The eh: - Cold Bamboo Shoots: Not tossed with chili oil like I like, so no bueno for me - Tofu Tossed with Preserved Egg: Why was this sweet? Why? Eggs should never be sweet! - Pumpkin Cake: Thought this would have runny, yolky custard too, but it was filled with red bean paste instead. Which isn't bad...just not as fun The space is gorg, and the staff were pretty attentive, even giving us some complimentary items when they messed up an order. read more

I was quite surprised by my visit here today. The food was great, even for a person who eats this all the time. Environment was beautiful and charming. I would come back here soon. I recommend this to all who loves good Chinese food authentically. read more

I went here with a group of friends on a cold rainy day. There were plenty of empty tables, even though we got here around lunch time. We ordered wayyy more food that we could possibly get through because the menu looked delicious and there were so many things to try. I appreciate that the staff helped recommend items for us because we were super indecisive. After we were done eating, we hung out and chatted for an extra hour. I appreciated that we never felt rushed and we could take our time catching up with friends. Overall, the food is fresh, not too greasy, and very comforting on a cold day. I'd particularly recommend the soup dumplings and beef noodle soup. read more

Picked up a Peking noodles for lunch here and it was solid. The noodles were cooked just right and the meat sauce was flavorful. My only complaint was that the portion size is a little small. Will sample some of their other menu offerings next time. read more

Not worth the $140 I paid for it. Left a tip too - Sucker born every minute. I guess Im that sucker tonight. read more

Service: 4/5 Food: 3.2/5 all of the dishes taste sweet to me. small portions proportional to the price. always has plenty of open tables, quick service + staff is nice + grateful. Rice is extra boo. What I Ordered: - Crab Soup Dumplings: on the smaller side, not too oily, can't taste crab - Pan Fried Pork Bao: good ratio of meat to bun, not too oily - Eggplant in Garlic Sauce: sweet + sauce, rice is needed, veggie (peppers, woodear, onions) heavy - Minced Pork Noodles: slightly sweet, decent read more

The service is great. The decor is cute. There is a large variety of Shanghainese food.

Great restaurant. The food is so delicious and the owners/staff are so nice and generous. Definitely recommend:)

I always like to give a restaurant a second chance asI did with this restaurant. The first order was sautéed fried shrimp with broccoli. Utterly tasteless ! Tonight I spent $40 for greasy fried string beans with pork morsels. Tasteless, and you needed a magnifying glass to find the pork. The only item that was halfway acceptable was the fried pork dumplings, but even they were greasy as could be. That's it for me for Tipsy Shanghai. And, by the way, you had to pay $2.50 extra for a small portion of white rice. Pathetic! read more

Ordered the Ma Po Tofu. Taste was very off-putting: almost like plastic. Did not finish and will not order from here again. Even the white rice had an odd flavor: how can you mess up rice? read more

Disgusting. The peanut noodles were just mushy noodles with a bucket of soy sauce. And the chicken noodles were just mushy noodles with mushroom and bamboo. Not one morcel of chicken. Everything else was inedibly salty. The four stars is BS. Total joke. read more

Such a nicely decorated restaurant. Small and quaint with an attentive staff. I very much enjoyed my dinner and the ambiance of this place. The braised beef noodle soup was a little bland but still delicious. They are generous with the portion of braised beef in the dish. I also had the tofu skin dish. I forgot what they called it but it's a dim sum stable that has pork and bamboo shoots inside. It hit the spot. They have a few locations throughout Manhattan and I wouldn't mind going to any one of their other locations. read more

Good Lord if you eat here, don't order through doordash. Our order arrived incorrect, and what we got was terrible. Chicken Xiao longbao straight up spoiled -- sour and inedible. One of the incorrect dishes, Famous Assorted Bowl or something, had 3 famously mushy, disgusting prawns on a pile of cabbage. Sadly, we ate 25%of the meal before we realized how off the whole thing was. Here's hoping we dodge assorted food poisoning! Edit: Real time update -- 2.5 hours later our toddler projectile vomited across the room. Time to see if I can find a way to report a health code violation! read more

I had really high hopes for this place as I love dumplings and Chinese food; however the flavor of my items fell short. The Shrimp Shumai was alright. It has this weird dull flavor that I can't really put my finger on; not horrible but not something I would get again. The crab dumpling was okay? It had a vinegary broth on the inside and the mushy texture of the crab on the inside threw me off. The wonton soup was probably the better of all three options (just the wonton and meat inside), but it refuses to stay together (immediately as you pick it up, it falls apart). The broth that comes with the soup has no flavor (not even salt) which is very disappointing. Maybe they have better options here that I didn't try, but this experience doesn't have me excited to come back. read more

3.5 stars Cute spot. Love the decor. Service was good and the food came out pretty quick. The dim sum stuff was just ok. I wasn't a fan of the pork buns. They had a weird taste to them I haven't experienced from other places. The sweet salty yolk buns were good. The Shanghai pork ribs were good - not the best I've had but good. read more

I went there for their lunch specials. The Mapo tofu is only $12. But it's not on their regular menu. The flavor is great but it took a long time for them to serve. I wish they could make foods faster as most people go there need to go back to work after brief lunch breaks read more
