Shanghai Dumpling House

Our food was delicious for the most part. Service was very quick and our waitress was attentive. We only waited for about 5 minutes before they started to bring out our food. Regarding the fried or pan fried items, they did taste like the oil was reused too many times on previous dishes, but that is an easy fix. Our favorite item was definitely the pork and shrimp wontons in chili sauce! They were phenomenal.

This place is amazing! I love the pan fried pork buns! the best thing on the menu. And the drinks are just the right amount of flavor and sweetness! Yoyo is the sweetest and always has a smile on her face! as well as other staff. If you haven’t tried this place you need too! it will blow your mind:)!!

Came here hungry and honestly the food was pretty good. As you can see from the photo, we finished everything and didn’t even take anything home. The food itself was not the issue. Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. This wasn’t during a busy rush hour either, so I was expecting a better experience. Once all of our food arrived, nobody checked on us again. Our server seemed more interested in eating and chatting than taking care of customers. I asked for the boba menu but wasn’t given a pen to fill it out. After waiting quite a while for the drinks, part of the order was still missing. What surprised me even more was that the table next to us was also waiting a long time for service, so it didn’t seem like we were the only ones having this experience. I understand restaurants can get busy and mistakes happen, but this place was not crowded at all when we visited. A simple check-in, paying attention to customers, or apologizing for delays would have made a huge difference. The food is decent, but good food alone isn’t enough. Customer service needs serious improvement if they want people to come back. I hope management takes these reviews seriously because the restaurant definitely has potential.

Food was amazing- authentic Shanghai style, fresh with quality ingredients. They even have a window to the kitchen through which you can watch the chefs hand make the soup dumplings from scratch. We got the pork and crab soup dumplings (flavor town), cucumber salad, wood ear salad, chicken stir fried udon, beef noodle soup, and scallion pancake rolled with beef. Everything was just as good as the best places in NYC. Best soup dumplings in the Tampa Bay Area. Nothing was overly salty or oily, flavors were well balanced and aromatic. Boba was fresh and quality as well. Service made the dining experience even better. Leah was so warm, kind and attentive. She even played with our toddler who loved her. The atmosphere is clean, well laid out and well decorated. It is lit well enough to see your food clearly but soft enough to be comfortable. Music level is appropriate for background vibe and low enough to support conversation. Decor was very nice with hanging parasols and Chinese lanterns with beautiful woodwork throughout. They also have a more private nook for larger parties, and it's a good place to celebrate a birthday as they play and sing a birthday song. I look forward to returning with more friends and family.

Food was so good!!! We will definitely be back. Hard to pick my fave but the wontons in chili sauce were amazing, and steamed dumplings and soup dumplings were all so yum. Everything was so fresh. The service was great, everyone was so sweet
