First of all, every table gets a complimentary order of pork xiao long bao, which I have never seen any restaurant do before. The XLB had the perfect delicate wrapper with flavorful soup and juicy meat inside. We also tried the sheng jian bao, which are crispy pork buns. These were so good and I think I liked them even more than the XLB. The garden soup dumplings were a fun variety with different flavors. We also had the pan fried pork and chive dumplings, which were nicely crispy and very satisfying. Overall, an amazing spot and everything we ordered was delicious. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Plus, you get a free show out of it because all of the cooking is on display next to the register! The value is also amazing, because one order gets you a solid portion of meat and bun *and* the piping hot-ness of it forces you to pace yourself so you're not accidentally overeating 20 of them (I mean.. that's what I'd do if I weren't forced to slow down). Ambiance-wise, well, this is New World Mall's food court so be prepared to hustle for a table. This is not fine dining, people, but it is straight up good food worth going out of your way for.

After my wife bought me an order for dinner, I have been craving for more. Sheng Jian Bao, a soup…read moredumpling that pan fried with hot soup inside a bun. Usually, the Sheng Jian Bao you get from the Shanghainese Restaurant are tender with a thicker bun. This one is with a thin and crispy bun with a savory piece of pork that splash soup into your mouth (Be alert that it will definitely burn your tongue). I was introduced to have it with aged vinegar and chilly sauce. It bought the taste of the bun to a level of an explosion. Stop by and try an order when you visit Flushing. It is located in a food court inside the New World Mall. It looks cheesy but tasty. Calvin

My friend and I were at New World Mall and randomly came across this Shanghainese spot, so we…read moredecided to give it a try. Soup dumplings (pork & crab) - not bad, but I've had better. The filling was decent, but the vinegar on the side was too mild. I'm used to a darker, more robust vinegar with XLB, so this didn't quite hit. Braised pork - very tender and flavorful, served with quail eggs. This was one of the stronger dishes. Yangzhou fried rice - not too oily which I liked, but served with only 5 an small shrimps... Sweet & sour shredded potato (cold dish) - slightly spicy, I really enjoyed this one. It was part of a promo where you can get it for $1 when you spend $30 on entrees, so definitely worth adding. Overall, I enjoyed the meal. Not everything stood out, but it's solid enough that I'd recommend it, and I'd come back to try more of the menu.

However, recently it's been hit or miss. Today was both - the garlic pork belly cold dish was super tasty! The garlic chili oil was spicy, sweet and fragrant. The pork bun ( I have eaten at almost every establishment that serves pork buns in flushing) was disgusting. The pork was almost grey and the it smelled like it was a day away from spoiling. It's really hard to justify a bad experience like this when there are literal hundreds of flushing vendors that serve the exact same cuisine with better quality control. Catch me a Zie Wei Xiao Chi next time I'm in the mood for a pork bun.

Luckily, there was only a short wait for our party of two at around 12pm...but I suspect the wait can be much longer later in the afternoon or during peak dinner times. Once your number is called, you go up some stairs to the eating/tabled area. There are tables and chairs for 2, 4 and more guests throughout the large space. The pace of the restaurant is very fast...as soon as you are seated, you are given tea and your waiter comes over right away to take any order you are ready to give. Its helpful to ask for a menu while you are waiting for a table so you know what to order when asked. We had some soup dumplings as well as a (large) soup. Everything was very good and out in about 15 minutes...very fast. The soup dumplings were great...but as expected are filled with piping hot broth so be careful when eating. They have some other appetizers and dishes available. There are also some drink options including cold teas, soft drinks and beer. Overall a great experience...despite visiting on a busy Saturday, we were in and out in about 40-45 minutes. Street parking can be tough in the area but there are a few garages around...one of the more reasonable options is the garage at the Skyview shops which currently charge about $6 for up to three (3) hours and is a short 5 minute walk away.

The tables are on the smaller size though so it can be hard to accommodate larger groups. My favorite dishes are the black truffle soup dumplings (perfect amount of truffle taste), crab noodles (saucey and comes with vinegar on the side which i recommend adding most of for a balanced flavor) , squirrel fish (sweet and sour profile), eggplant (super saucey perfect to be eaten with rice), and the Kao fu (refreshing cold appetizer). Everything is flavorful, but the sauce from the eggplant and squirrel fish is pretty sweet and strong so definitely have some white rice ready to eat with everything!

We walked in with no reservation on a Sunday evening - and the place was clearly quite full, but we were given a table right away. I had the pork soup dumplings and noodles with scallops and shrimp. Both were exceptional. My friend is vegan and was able to order rice and they had a mushroom stir-fry on special - which was so delightfully flavorful. I also really loved the pickled veggies they give at the start of the meal. The concept of ordering on iPads was interesting - I appreciated the ability to order at our own pace, but it did make it difficult to ask for clarification on certain things.

They specialize specifically in dumplings. I have a soft spot for soup dumplings, so I immediately ordered crab and pork, shrimp and pork as well as chicken soup dumplings to go. The soup dumplings are made to order so it took a good 15-20 minutes to get. I wasn't disappointed though, as they were packaged nicely. The soup dumplings were in sturdy containers along with side sauces that were well wrapped in plastic. This is really important as the sauces add umami and is a nice accompaniment to the soup dumplings. The soup dumplings all tasted fresh and the dough that encased the filling wasn't too thick. In my opinion the dough to filling ratio was just right and the amount of soup in each dumpling was perfection. I'll be back for a sit down, so I can try more of their traditional Shanghainese dishes served.

I like that they stored it in the bowl separately so the rice doesn't get soggy in transport. The dish was packed with crab meat and roe. Every bite was delicious. It also came with some pickled wood ear, cabbage, a half of hard boiled egg and vinegar. We also shared a pork zongzi which was also delicious. We will be returning again in the future for sure.

The entire staff was professional and courteous, but the manager, Leo, truly stood out. He has always been warm and welcoming. Over the years, we've even had the chance to chat in our dialect, Shanghainese, on several occasions. He consistently goes out of his way to make sure guests feel well taken care of. Tonight, my husband ordered the General Tso's chicken, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Of course, I couldn't resist ordering a little too much for myself-- fried bean gluten, mixed vegetables, pan fried udon noodles, and brine squid. As always, they sent out complimentary steamed pork soup dumplings and, to finish, two sweet fermented glutinous rice soups for dessert. I even had leftovers--udon noodles and fried bean gluten--for lunch tomorrow. Everything we had was absolutely delicious and carried a deep sense of nostalgia--the flavors truly brought me back to where I grew up in Shanghai. Needless to say, we left very happy and will definitely be back again soon.

They also have bigger tables in the back where we sat 10 people - so it's good for larger groups.
