This restaurant features a minimalist Shanghai-style design, centered around a striking red and gold color palette. Although the decor is simple, the bold use of red and gold makes it highly memorable--and the space is very clean. Even though the bowls and chopsticks are disposable, there's clear attention to detail. The chopsticks feel great to use, and they are even engraved with "上海小笼," which is a thoughtful touch. The bowls are made of thick, sturdy paper, with a beautiful red base and gold rim--both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, but there are still staff members nearby. When it's not busy, they are friendly and happy to assist with any questions. The Noodle in Scallion Sauce （上海葱油拌麵） has a rich scallion oil flavor with perfectly chewy noodles, while the Cold Noodle w. Peanut Butter Sauce （麻將涼拌麵） is packed with a strong peanut flavor and equally chewy texture. Both dishes are delicious and taste very similar to Taiwanese sesame noodles. Every dish is served fresh and hot, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Whenever I'm in Edison, I can't help but come back to try more items on the menu. read more

Went down in quality in recent years. So disappointed about that! The food is still decent but the XLB definitely went down in quality from years ago. They also made the whole place into kind of a takeout style restaurant. You can dine in, but they don't give any complimentary water or hot tea (you have to buy $2-3 bottles) and they won't give you hot chili oil without charging $3 too. Save your time and stick with Lao Wu's or go to Tasty Moment for a better meal and experience. The best thing was the homemade and packaged yuzu green tea bottles (also over $3) but deliciously refreshing. read more

Food is ok but no need to dine in. They have hot soup in a paper cup with inside gold color. Because of the hot soup this is a health issu3 because the color will leak. They have a 3% charge for credit card usage which is becoming normal. The good thing need about this it will keep cash alive. read more

Wu' s Shanghai Dumpling - Shanghainese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Heard good things about this place but have to say it missed the mark for me. It's transformed into a canteen style takeout place with ordering kiosks and plastic ware. I ordered the salty tofu soup and cold peanut noodles. The cold noodles were too soy sauce heavy but ok otherwise and the tofu soup was a little oily but would've been better with a side of rice. My friend ordered the soup dumplings and said she preferred the ones from the north brunswick location. It was very dead for a Saturday night which wasn't a great sign. Service was good and accommodating but I likely won't be back again read more

Back here again with friends last Monday and had a great time. We ordered the Shanghai special crispy noodles, spicy udon, vegetable buns, and the soup dumplings. I'm allergic to nuts and sesame and it was super easy to communicating and receiving clarity on what I could and couldn't eat! The service is excellent, there is always a short wait so be prepared, but it's completely worth it! My favorite was the spicy udon! While it's a hole in the wall spot, it's a must visit - don't sleep on this spot! read more

Wu' s Shanghai Dumpling - Pan-Fried U-Don with Spicy Minced Pork 辣肉粗炒面; vegetable buns, Shanghai Pan-Fried U-Don 上海粗炒面 - Shanghainese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

If you're craving authentic Shanghai flavors, Wu's is the place to go. You can actually see them making the dumplings fresh through the kitchen window. Their Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings (XLB) are the stars of the show--the skin is incredibly thin but strong enough to hold all that delicious soup inside. We also loved the Pan Fried Pork Buns (Sheng Jian Bao); they had the perfect crunchy bottom and juicy filling. The service is quick and the food comes out steaming hot. It's a casual, no-frills spot, but the flavors are top-notch. Definitely a gem on NJ-27! read more

3.5 stars. This place used to be super crowded. When we drove by tonight at 6:15pm and saw no cars in the parking lot, I should have known something was not right....but we went in anyway, because we missed the food! Shocked to see only 2 other parties inside the restaurant. I really don't mind ordering from a kiosk, as times have changed. However, I cannot accept the following: 1. No free water! You have to pay $1.5 for a bottle of water! Next time I will bring my water bottle. 2. The plastic tableware: the small size of the bowl is a joke. And they can't offer a soup spoon for eating XLB? That is absolutely unacceptable. 3. The vinegar for the XLB. They were premixed. There was only a teeny tiny amount of sliced ginger inside the container. Ridiculous. The food was still good, especially the pork and crab XLB, pan fried pork buns, lion's head, and scallion pancakes. Didn't like the spice inside the soup of the beef noodle soup. Both the Shanghai pan fried udon and rice cake were too oily but tasted not bad. There were many take out orders. I guess that is how the restaurant is still able to sustain. My family will not come back again. The place we used to know is gone. read more

Heyyyyyyy you guyyyyyyys! This little hole in the wall is hands down a 10 out of 10. You order at the kiosk including your beverage of choice. The pork soup dumplings are delicious, the wontons with spicy pb sauce delicious, the cucumber salad delicious, crab and pork soup dumplings delicious, the scallion beef pancakes were ok wasn't prepared for the warm outside with a semi cold filling but overall this entire order amongst our group was amazing, fresh, delicious.

TLDR: okay, but no longer the best spot in south jersey. Came here before COVID and during COVID and always had an amazing time. Their food was always top notch and was made the 45 minute drive worth it. However, coming back for the first time since the change made me regret the drive. This place is now fully self serve. You order the food on a tablet (regardless of dine in or take out) and the food gets brought to you. Soup dumplings: skins are thicker and flavor is not there. Very disappointing. Beef scallion pancakes: flakey but lacked flavor and not as crispy as it used to be. Spicy pork wontons: there is no peanut butter flavor or any spiciness to this at all. The sauce actually looked watered down. This was always my most anticipated dish coming to this location, not anymore. Stir fried udon noodles: very oily and not as flavorful Hate to say this but I would not recommend coming here anymore. If you are absolutely craving soup dumplings, and are willing to drive, go to Old Shanghai Soup Dumplings in Palisades Park. read more

Tasty food at reasonable prices, especially when you factor in there's no tip! We were afraid of a wait, but when we arrived around 1230 on a weekend there were actually 2 free tables. The guy working there instructed us to place orders at the terminal, and mentioned its all "self serve and so there's no tip". That definitely works for me. Food came out fairly quick. Portions were bigger than I expected given the price. Favorites were the spicy shanghai pork noodles (which actually weren't that spicy, but were quite flavorful, especially with the egg); and the beef appetizer dish, which had an ample amount of cilantro. I wasn't the biggest fan of the beef noodle soup (was a little flavorless compared to other places). Dumplings were okay, but not sure that I would order them again. read more

Wu' s Shanghai Dumpling - Shanghainese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

My go to soup dumpling place in Edison. Ugly Dumplings are flashier, but this place is more authentic and delicious. There are a few machines at the front entrance where you can place the order, then find a table and wait for them to call your number. The whole system is super easy and efficient. My personal favorites are the beef scallion pancakes, the spicy salty tofu bowl and the soup dumplings. Avoid the jelly fish, it was just meh. Overall, this is the place to go if you are craving some Shanghainese comfort food, it's an easy no frills place, perfect for a cold winter night. read more

This has been my family's go to restaurant for soup dumplings since before the ownership change. They have a great selection of dumplings and dimsum, but we usually get the same 2 things: crab meat/pork soup dumplings and pan fried pork buns. We LOVE the crab and pork soup dumplings, but in the last half year, it seems like the recipe for the dumpling wrapper has changed. They're a little thicker and gummier than they used to be, but they're still better than everything else in the area. The filling is spot on as always! The pan fried pork buns are my personal favorite (perfectly crisp, juicy, flavorful, what's not to love?). This time we tried the crystal pork slice, which had a strange texture. None of us really enjoyed it, but it's probably an acquired taste. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. It was not too busy. This was the first time I came here since they renovated. They don't really have a wait staff so you have to order from a touchscreen tablet. We ordered the pork juicy buns, the pan fried pork buns, pork and vegetable wontons in spicy sauce, and wu's favorite topping over crispy noodles. We also ordered the sweet fermented rice and tofu for dessert but they accidentally gave us the rice balls in wine sauce so we got an extra free dessert! Everything was good but if I'm being honest I thought the food was better before the renovations. The juicy pork buns were decent but the skin kept ripping. The pan fried pork buns were crisp and the meat inside was flavorful and tasty. The pork wontons in spicy sauce were always one of my favorite items. This time it was good but I feel like the portion size shrank and it was a little less flavorful than it used to be. Lastly the crispy noodles topped with their favorite topping was extremely disappointing. The crispy noodles did not taste fresh and the sauce didn't have much flavor. For the desserts...both were very solid. The sweet fermented rice with tofu had just the right amount of sweetness and the fermented rice added a nice sourness that made it different and addicting. The sweet rice balls in wine sauce Aldi had the right amount of sweetness. The rice balls were perfectly tender and also had bits of fermented rice in the sauce. Overall I enjoyed the food but was expecting it to be as good as it was before. I would've gave it 3 stars but the server working that night was very friendly and made up for giving us the wrong dessert. read more

Ordered through GrubHub and was pleasantly surprised that everything came steaming hot. Pork Juicy buns were OK, the texture of the filling was not the best, but decent. It lacked flavor and so did the broth. The dipping sauce fell short as well. Rates 7/10. The steamed sticky rice siu mai was kinda weird. I've had this before from other restaurants, and this one had some extra non-standard ingredients, but good. Rates 7/10. The beef, scallion, pancake wrap was surprisingly very good. I don't like cilantro, and they loaded it up. But it wasn't overpowering. The beef was not dry. Kind of had a sweet taste to it, which I didn't mind the pancake itself. Very very good light flaky not greasy good texture. If it wasn't for the cilantro, we would have a perfect 10 but I rate it 9/10. And if you like spicy as much as I do, you have got to get the side order of their house made chili oil. They charge $1 for a decent size container, so worth it. Rates 10/10. Overall, I rate it an 8 out of 10 . I've been to other dumpling houses in Brooklyn that are better. Perhaps the indoor dining experience here would have fared better. read more

This place interior is small but cozy. The server said the restaurant went under a remodel during / after Covid initially happened. Service was ok . They very much promote self service here as there are POS systems you can walk up to and order . The selling point here is definitely soup dumplings. They were made well and filled with the right amount of soup . The other food is meh at best. I also had the cold noodles with " peanut butter sauce " the noodles were really mushy and it was an overwhelming taste of peanut butter , but not in a good way . The soup dumplings though, were pretty good . I had a few of the pork and crab soup dumplings. This place I think is now relegated to a soup dumplings place and not a Chinese restaurant if that makes sense. I've had it ,it was ok but I don't think I'd come back type of place . read more

Though a lot has changed in the interior from my many visits over the years, the star of the show, the pork Xiao long bao are still good! My friend and I ordered an order of Shanghai scallion noodles and two orders of the pork Xiao long bao, as it's our favorite at this restaurant. The dumplings are slightly thicker than we were used to with a little less broth than we got from this restaurant previously. The noodles were good, and helped us fill up as the dumplings alone would not be enough. I did notice that they stopped serving chili oil at the table, but they will provide it if you ask for it - definitely do, as it makes for the perfect soup dumpling mouthful with some of the vinegar mixture! As for the changes to the restaurant, they seem to have modernized a bit. Now, you order on a kiosk when you come in, regardless of whether you are eating in or taking out. If you're eating in, you wait for your order to come and then find an open table. Expect a wait at prime meal times, but people tend to move through pretty fast. read more

Wu' s Shanghai Dumpling - pork Xiao long bao and scallion noodles - Shanghainese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Came here on a Wednesday evening for an early dinner and the place was moderately busy, but it was easy enough to find a table. This is more of a fast casual spot where you place an order, pick it up at the counter, and eat after; you're not served otherwise and the food comes out relatively quickly. The menu has a good mix of different dishes and we settled on sharing 5-6 for 4 of us. The food itself tasted pretty good and the portions were fair as well for its price; not out of this world taste or quality wise, but I found it to be a relatively fair meal nonetheless. The noodles were decent, the buns were pretty tasty (although a bit smaller than I would've thought), and the cold appetizers were nice as well. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back in the future for a quick, tasty meal. I'd recommend the cold appetizer the most, honestly, but their buns weren't bad either. read more

Happy day Adventurers! This place is a small but homey place that offers really tasty dumplings. I ordered take out since I had to get back to work, but highly recommend if you're in the area.

My favorite were the crab meat and pork steam juicy buns. They were super juicy and so flavorful. Perfect fulfilling bites for lunch. read more

Wu' s Shanghai Dumpling - Crab Meat and Pork Steam Juicy Buns, Shanghai Spicy Pork Steam Juicy Dumpling, & Pork Steam Juicy Buns | #intenselypassionatephotography - Shanghainese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Should have known when it was dead on a Friday evening that something had obviously changed for the worse. Food had no flavor, texture was off, and all of the dumpling wrappers were super thick and gummy. Sad that the quality has fallen so far from where it used to be. Also $1.50 for a bottle of water and that's the only option for water. Assuming ownership and/or management has changed. Guessing they won't be in business for much longer since there's no way anyone who ate here when it was good will have any interest at all in coming back. read more

Wu's is basically an Asian quick service restaurant which is more designed for take out. When you walk in you go to an iPad and order then your number is called and food is on trays is brought to your table. At the end you will clean your table and throw items away at a station. There are no sauces on the table and you will need to order at the beginning. Now for the food, very disappointing and lacked flavor. There seem to be a liking to soy beans as they were used in multiple dishes. The soup dumplings were ok but I which I was given a soup spoon as they were near impossible to eat without loosing the good stuff as it fell out. Will not be back. read more

Wu' s Shanghai Dumpling - Shanghainese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Quick service with sit down and kiosk ordering - recommend their dumplings and the tofu spicy app.

I am having a hard time deciding a rating between 3 and 4. I'm choosing 4 because I am not as knowledgeable when it comes to dumplings and I also think Wu's has 4-5 star potential. My co-workers and I ordered take out from Wu's, which is another reason I give them the benefit of the doubt because takeout is never the same and really my dumplings were quite tasty!! So let's get into it. I ordered the spicy PB dumplings, and the dumplings themselves were perfect, juicy and flavorful! The PB sauce could have absolutely used more spice, to be honest if I didn't know spicy was in the title I would have assumed this was a mild dish. This is a shame because while the PB sauce is delicious, it's also quite thick and there was no element to cut that thick rich sauce which I think adding some more of the spice element could have done. I also ordered scallion pancakes which are a favorite of mine! These were unfortunately completely underwhelming. They were SO oily. I am not one to blot my food- i appreciate some excess oil where appropriate but these were so soaked in oil that I had to blot, and still, it felt like I was eating oil pancakes. I didn't get the scallion flavor. I think the worst part is, they didn't give us sauce for it. We had two orders of scallion pancakes and NONE of the black sauce it usually comes with, again this is a missed opportunity to cut some of the thick/rich/oil taste. So that is my main complaint- no sauces were given to us except one very small (Taco Bell sauce size) soy sauce packet, and we did get a black sauce but it wasn't even 1/4 full and had actually spilt over our order before we even received it. Anyway, we assumed the sauce we did get was for our friend's pork buns which do not come with a sauce of its own. Again, it's a shame because even the little bit of soy sauce I added to my food really helped, so having the appropriate sauces and elements to these dishes would have definitely heightened my experience. We didn't stay long to really be able to judge the appearance but it was nicely decorated, a little bit small inside which I imagine can feel a bit crowded on the weekends but looked comfortable on a Wednesday afternoon. Based on the dumplings alone (not as much with the PB sauce because it was so thick and not spicy) I would come back here, I definitely think there was potential for my meal to be great. I would consider dining in next time though; so I could request the sauces needed to take it to the next level. read more

I used to go to this place all the time. They had the best soup dumplings and rice cakes in the state. The best authentic Chinese food around. You had to wait for hours to get a seat. I went for dinner on a Friday evening and we were the only ones there and no one was coming in to pick up orders either. We ordered from a kiosk and while waiting for our food we asked for a glass of water. We were told if we wanted water we'd have to go to the kiosk and order a bottle. When I heard this I asked them to make our order a "to go" order. The food was terrible. We were so disappointed. I'm so sorry to see the once excellent restaurant fall so far. read more

Came here with a friend for lunch. She recommended it as she knows that I love Asian cultural foods. So this is a small location within a strip mall, so parking is no issue. They opened at 11:30am, I walked in at 11:31am & I am glad that I did. By 11:40am they were packed, & by 11:50am people were turning away, just grabbing food to go, or standing around waiting for tables. Again, small interior, but gives you an oddly authentic feel of being somewhere else. Almost like you forget that Edison, NJ is outside of the door. It is self service, so there are (3) ordering tablets & then you seat yourself. They text you a copy of your receipt, which also has your order number on it. Your order comes out & they place it on a small table. They call your number AND it displays on a large screen. You then step to the table to pick up your order (including your drink) & return to your seat. The drink options are super limited. Water, Tiger Tea (which is a boba tea version of Thai Iced Tea), some Foreign brand pre-bottled juice, & Coca-Cola. Once I was done laughing to myself about them calling their buns "juicy," I learned why. When you bite into the dumplings there's the soup like juice inside & it will squirt out everywhere, which I learned the hard way, lol. When you pick up your food they tell you that bowls are available. I initially didn't get one cause I didn't know what to expect. My friend told me to go back & get a bowl. The bowls are very necessary. The food itself, we had: Pork Steam Juicy Buns which were very good & my favorite of them all. Crab & Pork Steam Juicy Buns, also very good, but the just Pork ones were better in my opinion as they were more flavorful. Vegetable Spring Roll. These were surprisingly good without any dipping sauce. Spring Rolls usually have a sweet sauce, these had none. They are also much larger than spring rolls usually are. They are closer to the size of an egg roll from your local corner Chinese store. Egg Yolk Shumai was a unique dish. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't love it either. Shanghai Fried Udon, a Nice rich Udon with some good flavors. Honestly it didn't get its fair shot, as were were already so full from the dumplings, spring rolls, & Shumai. We could have taken this to-go, but opted not to. Sauces, Yes...I'm mentioning sauces, just because of what we as Americans are used to getting from Asian restaurants. They have a Vinegar sauce that they serve the dumplings with. I was NOT a fan, as I don't want anything that "vinegary," if that makes sense. They DO actually have traditional soy sauce (upon request). They also have a Hot Sauce (upon request), which is not what you think at all. It's a dark colored, almost black, pepper type sauce that I did not find to be hot nor spicy at all. That's it for sauces! Finally, they gave me some kind of fig based dessert. I don't know what it was, I guess it just came with my order. I split it with my friend. We both took one bite & put it down. Looks good, but had a dry texture & was not very sweet at all. It also reminded me of the head of the Demogorgon from 'Stranger Things,' lol. A very important thing to note is there were lots of Asian families there to eat, so that speaks heavily to the authenticity of the food. Overall, I would go again & bring some other friends who could appreciate the experience. read more

Honestly probably my favorite place to eat in Edison! Tried some new items this time: pan fried pork buns and glass noodles with fried bean curd in soup. The pan fred pork buns tasted so good! The bottom of the buns were so crunchy and had a layer of toasted sesame, which added a richer nutty flavor to the dough. The meat was very savory and juicy, and I like how they made it particularly flavorful to go well with the dough. The glass noodle soup was good, but nothing special compared to the other stuff you could get. Of course, we got the scallion pancake beef wrap again- very popular for good reason, with good meat and such a crispy flaky wrap. Efficient service here as always, and the vibes are so warm and cozy! read more

I am SO glad that I found this hole in the wall via Yelp. I had the most fabulous experience here. My fellow Yelpers never lead me astray! There's plenty of parking here as it's located in a strip mall. The inside is decorated very nicely and the ambiance is most definitely casual. You place orders yourself on the kiosks and are assigned a number. Once your number is called out, you go to the counter and pick up the food yourself. Please do be warned that this is an extremely small establishment so finding seating can be difficult. We got lucky and were assigned two bar seats by the employee. This is a dim sum place and here are the dishes we enjoyed: Pork Steam Juicy Buns (5/5): The most perfectly made soup dumpling. The inside was hot and delicious whereas the outside was chewy. Spicy Minced Pork Fried Rice Cake (5/5): Lives up to its name of being spicy! Do wish there was a bit more pork but honestly, the flavors of the dish made up any short comings. One of my favorites of the night. Cold Noodle in P&B Sauce (5/5): Make sure to mix the noodles well before eating to get the sauce from the top and bottom evenly balanced. This is a must if you're getting the spicy dishes on the menu. It'll serve as a palate cleanser and help cool off your mouth. Shrimp Dumpling (5/5): A classic made well. The inside was succulent and soft. The outside was perfectly chewy. It was served with soy sauce. Wu's Favorite Spicy Pork Topping Tofu Bowl (5/5): Reminiscent of a hot, filling tofu soup. This is definitely spicy but so worth it! There's plenty of pork, seaweed, edamame, and cucumber. The tofu is so soft that it melts in your mouth. I will be back just to eat this again and again! This is definitely a no frills place, but if you're looking for good food at a great price point, come here. We got all of this for around $50 and took home leftovers for days. Their menu is extensive so I'll be back soon! read more

We went the day after chinese new year. We ordered beef scallion pancake, crispy noodles, pork bun, beef noodle, truffle soup dumpling, shrimp shumai, pork soup dumpling, snow crab&pork soup dumpling. We ordered tea and it came with such a cute heart shaped swan filled with purple yam; it was oily though. We also got a free peach ice cream that I see all over tiktok; my fam loved it. Theres a discount if you pay cash. You can see them make the dumplings as well. The decor looks great; its a small space but looks very well decorated that it looks spacious. The shrimp shumai was terrible; tasted soo fishy. We enjoyed the rest of the food. If only they had a private room for special events this would be a great place to celebrate. Staff were great as well. read more

I haven't been writing reviews as often anymore, but HAD to after coming here yesterday. It is definitely overrated and disappointing. Having tried many XLB spots, I do feel like I can tell when it's good or bad/not authentic. We ordered many things to try: the pork XLB, crab and pork XLB, shrimp hargow dumplings, pan fried pork dumpling, spicy cold beef appetizer and the yellow croaker noodle soup. The XLB are not authentic and disappointing. Yes there was soup but the skin had a slimy soft texture that isn't what you'll find in an authentic XLB spot (or in Shanghai). They were oddly large, and tasted like frozen XLB you can buy at the supermarket. The yellow croaker noodle soup was $15.50 and very fishy. Had to drench it in hot sauce to make it edible. The noodles had a good texture but the broth was bland and this felt overpriced for a fast food, self service spot. The shrimp hargow were awfully dry, the shrimp didn't have the snap that fresh seafood has and the skin, again felt like they were frozen and dry. The highlight of the meal was the pan fried pork dumplings which were juicy, soft, crispy on the bottom with sesame seeds. Overall, it was extremely disappointing and I will not be returning. I am shocked it has 4.1 rating and 1000 reviews!!! read more

I love the soup dumplings from here. Filled with soup, flavorful, and thin wrapper. This is my number 1 recommended place for soup dumplings. I always get their crab soup dumpling. My husband and I tried the curry beef vermicelli soup. He has a sensitive stomach so he got diarrhea for days from it. So I don't recommend this for people with sensitive stomachs. For myself, this curry soup acted like a laxative where I has to go 4 times in a day. We usually get the pan fried udon, but I feel like the amount is less now with this new container or maybe it's my imagination. The inside of the restaurant got remodeled and looks nice. There's also a kiosk for self order so you don't have to wait for a server to come. You sit down after ordering and they call your number on your receipt for you to go to the window to pick up your food. I like how this makes ordering much simpler. The utensils are also nicely packaged. read more
