Great, authentic Shanghai cuisine! Savoring a hearty wonton soup paired with meaty Shaomai is the ultimate experience for chilly winter days. The shop is located on the second floor inside heritage town - took me a while to find it, but it’s absolutely worth the effort.

This is my go-to place for Shanghai dim sum in Toronto. My CBC daughter used to like cheese pizza the best and wasn't interested in Chinese cuisine. This place has turned that around! And the frozen dumpling at this store is absolutely way better than those franchises found in a grocery store.

This dumpling spot in Pacific Mall is a super-solid choice. It’s one of the few places that tug at my heartstrings, especially when I see the old ladies making dumplings during quieter times. It reminds me so much of my time living in China. That nostalgic feeling is so strong that I’d be happy even if they just served me a cup of water. The dumplings here bring back all those good memories. The Shanghai Shaomai is my favorite, striking the perfect balance between juicy and meaty. The texture is just right, not too chewy, dense, or tender. It hits the sweet spot every time, providing a comforting, home-like experience even though I’m not Chinese. How many restaurants can create such magic? This place does, and it’s a gem.

Awesome Shanghai Shaomai Restaurant, a must-try recommendation! I recently checked in at Shanghai Shaomai Restaurant and it was really a surprise! The dishes here instantly brought me back to home. I recommend three must-try dishes: 1. Little Chaos: The soup is clear and delicious, and the Chaos skin is thin and full of fillings. You can feel the delicious soup bursting in your mouth with every bite, which is super satisfying! 2. Shaomai with diced bamboo shoots: The crispness of the bamboo shoots is perfectly combined with the freshness of the meat. The skin is thin and filling, and it melts in your mouth. When dipped in soy sauce, it s so delicious that you can t stop eating it! 3. Duck blood vermicelli: The vermicelli is chewy, the duck blood is smooth and tender, and the soup base is delicious. Served with coriander and fried tofu, this bowl is simply a warm and healing soup. Not only does it taste great, the environment in the store is also very clean and tidy, and the service attitude is also warm and thoughtful. The price is also very affordable, definitely worth a try! If you also like Shanghainese snacks, this store is definitely not to be missed! Highly recommended to friends who love food! You must try it~

Never step on the wrong side, everything is authentic! The wontons remind me of the taste of my childhood. The diced bamboo shoots and fresh pork shaomai taste great! When there are many people, you need to wait for 10 minutes, but it is worth the wait to eat fresh handmade food! Kid-friendliness: My children especially like to eat small wontons and big meat dumplings

My first authentic wonton soup! ! Its a very popular restaurant, so we lined up to order. A craftsman was carefully wrapping the wontons next to the cash register You can eat freshly made wontons. The man in charge of the cash register was very efficient and I was impressed. The wonton soup is very delicious and filling, so is it worth the price? I thought thank you very much. Thank you so much

4 stars for atmosphere simply because its in the Pacific Mall so it was super noisy and busy, nothing the merchant can do. Other than that, the was amazing that my wife gave a 9/10 which I think is the highest she has rated a restaurant, and I whole heartedly agree. The duck blood noodle soup was amazing too but honestly I would just the only next time.

December 23, 2023

I bought a small Chaos and was given boiled noodles. There was nothing in the Chaos skin. Very unappetizing

Pretty sure they got a new owner. They don t have fried bao anymore and they have pan fried dumplings. They took a long time to get it ready and the skin is way too thick and the bottom isn t crispy at all. The meat has been over seasoned too. Judging from the fried dumplings it s not authentic at all.

I ordered Nanjing Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup and I didn t expect it to taste better than what I had in Nanjing. After chatting with the store, they said they use old duck soup, so the taste is pure. Meat dumplings are also good. What moved me even more was their sincere smiles - I will come again. I wish you a prosperous business. :-)

The takeaway packaging is so bad! The lid was not even closed and it spilled all over the car. I bought two other stores at the same time, all of which were in good condition, but theirs was the only one like this. I have tried many times, but the lid of the duck blood vermicelli is broken and cannot be closed at all. I haven t finished my meal yet, and I still have to clean the car.
