    Kung Pao Chicken with Peanuts
    Fran H.

    We tried this place for Chinese. We loved dim sum and we're looking for good dumplings. They have soup, dumplings, and regular dumplings, fried or steamed. The one problem was most of the dumplings had seafood shrimp additive there were none with just meat. We opted for vegetable dumpling which are not our favorite. We got the string beans and they were so good well good flavored well. One entree of kung po chicken which had many peanuts almost too many. All in all was good not great. Complimentary tea is always a good start. The restaurant was not crowded which should have been an indication especially on a weekend. The restaurant is modern and nice inside and very clean.

    Pork Soup dumplings with sliced ginger

    Chinese @ Cherryhill, NJ We had an early dinner on Saturday and was sitted right away without dinner reservation. There were other restaurants and Chinese market adjacent to the restaurant. The restaurant was spacious and the service was prompt. We ordered crab and pork soup dumpling which was very juicy and scrumptious. The pork soup dumpling was also good. The twice cooked pork with cabbage was too greedy for me. The price of dishes were very reasonably.

    Crab meat and pork soup dumpling - sooo good Peking duck set is good. Crispy skin is so crispy. Need to order an hour ahead of time. Like the roti type wrap but not liking the sauce. You can ask to have the duck bones to make soup or stir fry for $6 more for each dish. I would get the soup again but won't get stir fry. Steamed sea bass is good. Salt and pepper pork chop is good - meat a bit hard for my liking. Dry pot is so fun. Came out sizzling and hot for awhile. You can add any topping for $5 each. Pea leaves are a bit too chewy. Service is great. I am a regular and usually not crowded which I love.

    We ordered the pork soup dumplings, beef ho fun, house fried rice and rice cakes. Everything came out quickly, hot and delicious. The rice cakes and noodles had a great bite to them without being soggy. The meat was cooked well and the sauces had great flavor. The soup dumplings were also a great hit. Full of pork and juicy soup! The staff were great. We had two children with us and they were so kind while interacting with them. The space is clean and well cared for. This is definitely a place we would go to again.

    Green Dry Sauteed String Beans

    Went with a couple of friends for a light dinner and shared the below dishes. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Service was okay. Prices were reasonable. The great beans were amazing some of the best I ever had. Not sure how they made them but I could have eaten the entire plate myself. They alone deserved 5 stars

    Came here for dinner for the first time. The food is very good. The soup dumplings are delicious! The service is great too. I love the decorations of the restaurant. I will come back here again.

    Pork and Crabmeat & Pork Soup Dumpling Beef Scalion Pancake Cold Cucumber

    Dim Sum House will be a new regular in my local eats. It's right in my neighborhood and it's a gem! As far as soup dumpling spots, this is the best I've ever experienced especially for affordability. I absolutely loved the humongous dumplings, especially the Pork and Crabmeat Soup Dumplings, which were absolutely full to the brim with soupy goodness. I recommend taking advantage of the chili and vinegar sauces for dipping. I also got the Shanghai Pork Fried Soup Dumplings but they were a thicker dumpling than I was expecting and not comparable. The beef scallion pancakes were very nice too! I don't know if I loved the beef, but that may be because I am a purist about scallion pancakes. Again, very nice dipped in sauce. The cold cucumber was a surprisingly delicious addition as well. Tea was served complimentary for free. Very cute environment and great service as well. I have zero complaints because for two people our total came to $37, which is incredibly cheap in 2024. I will be returning happily many more times for that and the soup dumplings. Highly recommend.

    I was so surprised to pull up to this place to see that it's right next to Brother's Seafood; 2 dim sum places next to each other, very interesting! I've had Brother's before and a fan so I was curious to see how Dim Sum House would be We got the pork soup dumplings, beef pancake, mapo tofu, beef ho fun and cucumber salad. I wasn't impressed by the menu, there was lots of dishes that I would have loved to have; dry pepper chicken, black bean clams but sometimes when the menu is small it's bc the dishes they have are just really good But I wasn't wow'd by anything but it wasn't bad either! I was craving mapo tofu and I liked the flavors! The beef pancake was a little bulky but it was tasty, lots of good flavors. The pork soup dumplings were OK, I've had better; needed more meat in the filling, I didn't get much crab. The cucumber salad was super oily Service was great and the inside was very clean and big! All in all, this place was good but I would say it's just as good as Brother's Seafood!

    Good food. Good service. You can get 5% off your bill if you pay with cash. The soup dumpling skin is very thin and the dumpling is very juicy. I think it's as good as Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao's soup dumplings. The beef ho fun is very good. Fair warning that it's a greasy dish. No places around this area makes ho fun as good. The beef scallion pancakes need more hoisin sauce and scallions. The pancake could be a bit thinner- this dish was on the dry side. Came here in a Monday for lunch and there were about 6 other parties. The dining area is clean and organized. Would definitely come back here again.

    Beef Scalion Pancake
    Heather L.

    Solid 3.5 stars. Accidentally went here instead of the other dim sum place in the same shopping center. Ended up being a pleasant surprise. Got udon noodles with pork, beef scallion pancake and the tri colored soup dumplings. Everything was pretty good, soup dumplings were a little overfilled on the soup to filling ratio but still tasty. Definitely preferred the green dumpling and chicken over what I thought was just supposed to be pork but had a slight seafood taste so maybe it was crab and pork? Staff was friendly and attentive. I would come back.

    Complimentary Oolong Tea (I think? Or maybe Jasmine)

    "Confused" describes my entire dining experience. We were so excited to see this new dim sum place opened up in the Asian market plaza where we go to get our Asian groceries. We came on a Saturday around 11:50am and there wasn't a wait. However it became busy around 1pm-ish time. The menu at first looks amazing and unique with some dishes that you don't usually see at normal dim sum restaurants. We ordered a couple items to share: 1. 3 colored soup dumplings 2/5 2. Dan dan crispy tofu 2/5 (it's basically just fried tofu...) 3. Marinated gluten 4/5 4. Salted baked Squid 3/5 5. Fish fillet with salted egg yolk flavor 3/5 Most of the dishes didn't come with much seasoning. I wonder if they forgot to salt their food. It felt like they try to compensate their lack of flavor by throwing in a random dipping sauce that also isn't good. The salted squid came with what tasted like a chipotle or thousand islands sauce that didn't quite compliment the dish. The Dan Dan crispy tofu - which by the way was just fried tofu - came with some fermented bean paste that tasted straight from a bottle. I was hoping they'd serve the crispy tofu with some pickled vegetable or a lighter sauce. The fish fillet also had no flavor. You have to really dip it in the egg yolk sauce which was mediocre and not fully incorporated with the fish. The highlight should have been the soup dumplings but it was not. The only soup dumpling I liked was the crabmeat one. The other two tasted very strange ... and the staff also couldn't tell exactly what soup dumplings were served in the 3 color combo. I still don't know what flavor I ate but I didn't like it. Overall very disappointing dim sum experience. However the staffs were friendly - maybe the food quality will improve over time as they did only just recently opened.

    We have been at the original Shanghai Number 1 restaurant several times in Chinatown Philadelphia. We were happy to learn that they opened a branch in my hometown Of Cherry Hill. Dim Sum house is located in a large strip mall that is rapidly becoming more and more Asian. It seems Chinatown in Philly is migrating to South Jersey. For me, that is a good thing. Dim Sum House has very good Shanghai style soup dumplings. I have tried in several places in the area and Dim Sum House rivals the gold standard of Dim Sum Garden in Chinatown. The wrapper is not too thick and the broth and stuffing is delicious. I also like their Crispy Salted Chicken (the dipping sauce is really good) and Dan Dan crispy tofu appetizers. The new space is really nice and it is large and modern with high ceilings. Our servers were great and attentive all night long. 4.5 Yelp stars

    Disappointing experience despite the nice ambiance…read more I really wanted to love this place, especially because the interior is beautifully decorated with photos of traditional Shanghai and Taiwanese dishes. Unfortunately, the food and service fell far short of expectations. The service was completely 'hands off' throughout our visit. We were never offered tea, which is a standard baseline for hospitality at Chinese noodle houses. The bigger disappointment was the food itself. The seasoning was almost entirely flat -- the dishes lacked foundational aromatics like fresh ginger and toasted sesame oil, as well as any real umami or savory depth. I found myself having to rely heavily on the table vinegar and white pepper just to give the food some basic flavor. To top it off, the execution was poor. The char siu pork was simple and unseasoned rather than sweet and caramelized, and many pieces were trimmed so poorly that they were almost entirely unrendered fat. The stir-fried 'hand-drawn noodles' were broken into short, fragmented pieces rather than the long, elastic strands you expect from fresh lamian. It looks great on the inside, but the kitchen and service need a lot of improvement

Lift the dumpling and put it in the spoon-plenty available at the table, bite the top off And slurp the soup. Fools who bite the whole dumpling end up with soup on shirt that dries with an outline of the soupy goodness. Good thing I had 5 tries to get it right and even managed to pour sauce inside. Peach lemonade was excellent and peanut noodles also great. Go Hungry! There is lots to try.

(Note: if you only want smaller serving of their great, thick noodles, order $4 add-on as a side in place of rice with regular dish.) I always have leftovers to enjoy at home. Dumpling orders are large and shareable. (Always 6 or 8 pieces.) My fave when dining in is amazingly delicious and huge Fish Fillet in Hot and Sour Cabbage Broth. (That's best with rice side to help absorb broth.) So good and healthful to balance the dough density of whatever dumplings you might also order -- they're all great. When getting order to go (or delivered) I like Kung Pao Chicken; it travels well. Order added green veggie dish for sharing -- I lean toward Chinese Broccoli; you'll really want the balance with the delicious dumpling and noodle dishes. Large cocktail menu -- Lychee Martini is so refreshing. Important: cash only for dining in. There's an ATM by their front door. Takeout and delivery accepts credit cards. Most reasonably priced parking nearby (if you don't score a limited street spot) is ParkAmerica at 1040 Race St a few doors down.

I just get a feeling that the focus is on pushing alcoholic drinks rather than on the food. The pork buns felt like they were previously frozen and were very sweet. Shrimp dumplings tasted off. Service was never the star but it wasn't so dismissive either. Just a very bad experience and while I won't go back, I also don't want to rate them 1 star as that would be unfair. Their food now is no better than the next guy and that's disappointing. Cash only btw. I write this because they do not post signs and a couple tables had to go grab cash from their ATM machine.

Although the decor is simple, the bold use of red and gold makes it highly memorable--and the space is very clean. Even though the bowls and chopsticks are disposable, there's clear attention to detail. The chopsticks feel great to use, and they are even engraved with "上海小笼," which is a thoughtful touch. The bowls are made of thick, sturdy paper, with a beautiful red base and gold rim--both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, but there are still staff members nearby. When it's not busy, they are friendly and happy to assist with any questions. The Noodle in Scallion Sauce (上海葱油拌麵) has a rich scallion oil flavor with perfectly chewy noodles, while the Cold Noodle w. Peanut Butter Sauce (麻將涼拌麵) is packed with a strong peanut flavor and equally chewy texture. Both dishes are delicious and taste very similar to Taiwanese sesame noodles. Every dish is served fresh and hot, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Whenever I'm in Edison, I can't help but come back to try more items on the menu.

The chicken with garlic sauce is my absolute favorite. My husband mixes it up a lot, but he really enjoyed his orange chicken this time. One time we came for dinner with a large group and the servers took such good care of us. They even provided a chop-stick tool and guided demonstration for the kids with us. It was so sweet!

We came on a Sunday around 1pm and about half the tables were occupied so there was no wait. First thing I noticed is the inside is all different, maybe newer looking. They must have changed ownership from when I last came. The food wasn't authentic and wasn't good. We ordered soup dumplings, sweet soy milk, savory soy milk, and pan fried dumplings. Soup dumplings- the good thing is here they give you 8 pieces (vs 6 pieces in other NJ places). The skin is too thin. It was difficult to pick up with a chopstick or spoon and not 1 piece stayed intact while picking it up. All of the soup leaked out before it even reached my plate. The texture of the skin was "slippery" vs the bouncy kind I usually see with soup dumplings. My husband said he bit into a small piece of bone which is weird. Sweet soy milk- it wasn't a smooth drink. There were lots of soy grits Savory soy milk- tasted very watered down. Didn't have much soy milk flavor Pan fried dumplings- the portion was generous with 6 huge pan fried dumplings. These are the largest I've seen anywhere. They look more like buns than dumplings!! It was ok but overall it didn't taste like a pan fried dumpling. The owners seem really nice and friendly, chatting with some of the customers. Their service was good too. It's just the food isn't authentically Shanghainese.

I was flipping ecstatic when I saw this place was still open and survived the C-Word. I felt so at home eating the food I had back in my college days with my original order. I will say that the restaurant did downsize, however I'm just happy that they're still there to begin with, just in case I haven't elaborated. The decor did get a nice lift and more modern than the back of the day set up. I think it's cute. I believe the young lady that's been there for years may have been the owner the whole time and I was just too oblivious to actually pay attention. The server herself... I felt bad that she couldn't really understand me as my order was incorrect on what I was missing in my soup. My usual from back in the day was Beef and Beef Tendon Noodle Soup, and I would always ask for tripe with mixed beef intestines... so I was missing the intestines but genuinely didn't really think of it as a big deal since I just wanted to taste the food again. Overall, soup, 15/10. The XLB's are just goodness and warms my soul and lord have mercy how much I have missed these little puppies. I need to let everyone know that there is no good XLB's in the San Jose or East Bay Area of California. Complete disappointment. But that's just my opinion. Shanghai Noodle House's XLB's 20/10
