Shang Hai Cuisine

"Famous in Chinatown" and beyond for their "superior" soup dumplings and other "delightful" Shanghainese dishes, this cash-only spot ups the ante with "small" costs; trade-offs include "typical" service and "not-much-to-look-at" decor.

Widely considered the best Shanghai-style restaurant in New York, Shang Hai Cuisine crosses the finish line against a strong field: just on the same block can be found stalwarts Nice Green Bo, Joe's Shanghai, and 456 Shanghai within a few hundred feet. All have their strengths, but a Shanghai restaurant is judged by its siu lim bao (juicy buns) and the ones at Shang Hai Cuisine rock: the dough is thin and the meat coarse, the broth both unctuous and flavorful. Run don't walk.

We were a group of five, all of us Asian and I was given the suggestion of a Chinese restaurant so that the group would feel more at home. I acquiesced. Went to this place while on a two day visit...

This restaurant is one of my favorite places in Chinatown, hands down. If you have ever been to Chinatown, it's pretty dirty and a lot of the restaurants around seem a little sketchy. This...

Soup Dumplings here are great, I don't know what everybody is hating on. If you're getting a drink, the lychee martinis are very nice. Though, you should be careful... drink prices rack up here...

Great Chinese food

Great soup dumplings, great fried dumplings, just great all around. Try the eggplant with garlic, the soft-shelled crab, the noodles, the shrimp with broccoli, all the pork dishes . . .

Shanghai cuisine is characterized by a greater use of soy sauce, sugar, rice wine and rice vinegar than other regional cuisines. That’s not surprising, since China’s finest rice wine is produced in the city of Shaoxing in eastern Zhejiang province, while famous Chenkiang black rice vinegar originated in Jiangsu province

Shanghai Cuisine, the no frills Chinese restaurant has a low-key feel and interesting décor; there are posters of Shanghai movie stars from the distant past clinging to the walls. The food is tasty enough to make up for the lack of atmosphere. The shrimp and pork wanton in broth is always heavenly, as are the Soup Dumplings, Moo Shu Pork and Polynesian drinks. You might also want to try the...
