Great place for homemade dumplings. Their dumplings and fried chicken are top notch. Service takes a while, but worth the wait.

I usually order their dry fried chicken wing, XLB, and pan fried dumplings.
A little disappointed of the wings and XLB this time. The batter of the wings is too hard, and size is smaller not much meat, sauces is still amazing (Tate’s like sweet honey with ginger).
XLB skin is too saggy this time, seems like it is over cooked and the meat portion is smaller than it used to be.
Pan fried dumpling is juicy inside with thin and crispy skin. Recommend!

Saw other people order their beef ball clay pot, pork feet, shrimp, smoked duck, and some noodle dishes…Those all looks good. I may try them next time.

The restaurant is small with about 10 small tables. Only one server, and seems like only 2-3 people working in the kitchen.

We came here on Sunday 5:10pm, the restaurant is already full, and we were lucky to be seated at the last open table. Waited about 30min for the food. They had many to go orders too.

Not sure if the air conditioning is broken in the kitchen, the restaurant got very smoky, and my clothes and hair all smells oily after dinner.

Cash only!

Stopped by for the ShengJian Bao with my girlfriend. Owner wasn’t the friendliest at first but definitely warms up to you(maybe because i shared that i lived in Shanghai for a while).

Overall food was authentic and delicious, has two menus, one more authentic and another cater to American customers. You will definitely find what you are looking for here.

Located in a busy street with lots of restaurant options, not the most vibrant and good looking one but you will get your money worth for the food.

Thanks!

Note: Cash only. Shanghai house restaurant is a hidden gem near golden gate park (Spreckels lake). The restaurant is tiny (fit 8 tables) and easily to miss. I can understand why everyone complain about the service, but bare with it the food is definitely worth it. The wait for food was a bit longer than any other Chinese places (waited for 30 mins). The fried dumplings are excellent and totally recommended.

I’m almost unwilling to write a good review of this place out of fear that they’ll get really popular and I won’t be able to get a table anymore. That being said, though, this place is legitimately delicious. Dumplings for days.

This place once got shut down by health officials but I keep coming back and so do other customers. The only service there is the boss lady who can come off as rude to non-Asians but I find her just fine. Sometimes the quality is inconsistent depending on the month but it comes back around later on. They are most famous for their Shanghai soup dumplings. Compared to other dumpling places, the meat is fattier which makes it so good. The soup inside is also tasty. The only caveat is that the skin rips too easily.

Very authentic dishes. Sheng Jian Bao is so good, you definitely need to try it! And wings, better than all other places I went. I ordered take out, sheng Jian Bao still so good even I reheat it after I got home in 20mins. So glad they survived the pandemic. We definitely will be back!

The Dan Dan Noodles looked good but we’re very soggy and overcooked. They were also quite bland.

Service is slow. Prepare to wait a very long time even during the slow afternoon.

Mmm Buddha, fish, eggplant with flavorful sauces that didn’t overpower … oh and of course the cash only Service is kind but let’s say not overly attentive 😉
