Laoshan Dumpling Restaurant

Unclaimed

Admittedly this is my first time to Shanghai but I am very well traveled elsewhere and... These were some of the best dumplings I have ever had. I would 100% come here again and I may even come back tomorrow. I got the pork dumplings in the spicy soup and it was amazing. The building has AC, an English menu, and it is in a convenient location. The staff were nice and efficient - even though there is a counter they do serve you by waiter. It is also really cheap, I spent 23 Yuan (about $3.50 usd) for food and drink. It is right next to a hostel, about a block away from the Marriott Tomorrow Square and a block away from several more hostels. It is also close to People's Park and the Shanghai Musuem. It's about a 10min Didi (Chinese Uber) to The Bund and Nanjing.

Went thanks to other reviews and couldn't be more happy about it. Ordered by pointing the menu (in english) and the food arrived in a few minutes and was delicious. If I come back to Shanghai I will eat there again.

Very nice place, have english menu and the food is delicius!

Excellent vegetarian dumplings, wonderful kang pow chicken

Great place try and learn shanghai food from a Westerner point of view. We ate here for 2 nights in a row with our 2 family's including kids
