Lailai Snack Dumpling

Unclaimed

Amazing amazing amazing! The flavours were rich and full of goodness! The 小笼包were worth the wait, especially the 蟹黄 and 蟹粉 variation! The crispy pork chop is amazing too, the sauce the drizzle on it makes it really well-balance and non of the greasiness you expect from deep frying! Must try when you visit Shanghai!

Food: 9/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Overall: 8/10 Came here early at 8:40am, and there was already a long line. But overall definitely worth the wait! You order at the door, where you are presented with a menu, everything was very reasonably priced. I ordered 2 types of dumplings and some wontons and was placed in a table with other strangers which is pretty common for this type of restaurant. Overall it was one of my favourite restaurants while visiting Shanghai and definitely recommend visiting

Most famous, delicious, flavorful 小笼包ever! You must try it without doubt! They are all prepared with fresh ingredients and in a timely manner in front of the customers! Excellent customer service with friendly and welcoming waitress with speedy service ! Cleaning and transparent kitchen give you the opportunity to watch what they are cooking and making. No wonder they won 2024 & 2025 MICHELIN AWARD two times in a row! Highly recommended!

Great food in this restaurant, notably dumplings and soup with dumplings (wonton). Fried pork was soft and tasty. All food was actually delicious! We waited for about 20 minutes, at 5pm. The queue was long but they are extremely well organized and efficient as restaurant is rather small. Very decent prices. Highly recommended!

As this place is a Michelin bib gourmand, lines can be long. Plan accordingly but lines move fast. There is seating upstairs and downstairs. Pure crab and roe soup dumplings were amazing but a little pricey. Definitely worth it. Pork chops were very tender.
