The snowflake dumplings are also one of our go to's, the crunch on top is so pretty and gives a good texture balance. We try a different meat plate each time we went with the OG orange chicken, crunchy, sweat. The spare ribs are still my fave tho. Anyway, you won't go wrong with any choice of dumplings here. Overall really great place and service is so sweet and they make sure you're well taken care of. Also plenty of space to sit for lager or small parties

We called this place less than an hour before they were closing and they had! They were willing to let us order in advance and food was ready in 10 mins by time we got there. Their peking duck was juicy and they use thin pancakes to eat with. My first time eating with the pancakes because I usually eat with buns and this version was super yummy! Didn't feel as heavy compared to when eating with buns. The service was great, our server was very sweet! Restaurant wasn't too busy considering it was almost time to close but gave small restaurant and family style feel. They gave us soup from the remaining peking duck we ordered as well that we took home for leftovers. Overall very great experience!

I am surprised to read several negative reviews. It's definitely not a place to go if you don't…read morelike large portions and huge menus! I went to Shanghai Family Restaurant with a family who had been dining here regularly. They were kind enough to bring me when they heard my family is from Shanghai. The restaurant is large, cutely decorated, spaciously laid out. We had excellent customer service. They sat us right away, made dish recommendations, brought our dishes quickly, checked on us more than once, had the perfect amount of small talk, and packed our leftovers at the table. The restaurant is a "family" place that is not fancy or upscale. You can bring kids, be loud, be casual. It's clean, but not TOO clean, if you know what I mean. I didn't knock off a star for that because it isn't classified under that type of venue. Shanghai Family Restaurant is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD! The best measurement of a good restaurant: when you are already planning your next visit before you're even done eating! I did this when I was eating their "lions head" meatball dish over rice. Yummy in my tummy! That is my favorite Shanghainese dish. I am strategizing my next visit!

It was her first time at XLB Kitchen. She enjoyed the food and commented on how the owner called me by name and guessed what I wanted to order. I know, right?! That speaks to my predictability (ha ha!) and the awesome customer service. According to the notes on my phone, in addition to XLB and sauteed pea leaves, I've recently ordered their salt & pepper fish, shrimp & pork dumplings w/Chinese chives, and green onion pancake. All excellent, thank you XLB Kitchen!

It looks like the bottleneck is at the kitchen as it seemed pretty backed up. The menu has the usual fare but I was really impressed by the prices as everything was very reasonably priced XLB - gotta try these right? came out steaming hot and juicy. the exterior had the right amount of thickness, maintained integrity in transition without being too chewy. the soup was excellent Spicy wontons - mega spicy, which is the dominating flavor, not for the faint of heart. the steamed greens on top were a nice touch.

I ordered the beef with onion and the lamb with onion dumplings and on a whim the beef huoshao. First of the soup dumplings are so super delicious! Little pillows of tasty meat in a soft wrapper that explode with flavor as soon as you bite into them! The Beef Huoshao was absolutely wonderfully delicious! It can 9th be described as a Chinese hamburger. A patty of seasoned beef covered by a rich flaky crust! I could eat a thousand of these, well maybe not a thousand but definitely a lot of them! You gotta try the Beef Huoshao and the dumplings here. So delicious!, The ambiance of the restaurant is very casual. Love this place and will be back soon!

Tastes like comfort. This is what you're going to get when you dine at Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling…read more The Beef Huoshao was phenomenal. The beef patty was juicy. The skin was crispy and chewy. 100% should order this. The Lamb Noodle Soup had a deep lamb flavor that probably took the restaurant years to perfect. I wanted to drink up every last drop of the soup. One downside was that I felt super dehydrated after the meal and I think it was because the soup had a lot of salt. We also ordered the Three Deluxe Dumplings. The inside of the dumpling was juicy while the skin had a nice chewy texture. I don't normally enjoy the thicker skin dumplings but these were good despite being thicker skin. We also ordered the Pig Ears as an appetizer. They were okay. The seasoning was not over-powering, but the actual pig ears were not that crunchy. Would probably skip this dish next time.

Three slices of beef is considered "many" if you order this in Shanghai lol. Ambiance is somehow like Shanghai 20 years ago. I guess that's because the owner couple are early immigrants so the shop keeps the old style as well. Also they definitely need help. Sometimes there're just too many customers. Overall I've been there many times and I'll keep going when I miss my home city!

This includes a complimentary order of fried buns or white steamed rice, along with desserts. We tried the family special and all the dishes were delicious.

Note that I said Taiwanese Chinese not Taiwanese because they were the type of food that when Chinese soldiers would cook/eat when they first retreated to Taiwan so they don't have the same ingredients they had. The new location is now next to Starbucks instead of the other end of the plaza. The place is clean but slightly smaller. They also changed their menu slightly and they are definitely competing with Duan Chun Zhen across the street. They both offer beef noodle soup so I'll mostly commenting on the difference. Liang definitely gives you more beef (meat, tendon, tripe) but it's also about 50% more expensive. They also added Chinese sauerkraut which makes the soup base very different. I personally prefer the 13 spices used in Duan. The noodles are also different. The texture of Duan is more consistent but Liang feels more handmade. Overall I'd prefer Duan over Liang but Liang has more choices such as beef pancake. In other words if you just want noodles Duan is a better choice but if you want more types of food this is an ok choice. There are also more choices for tea here. Service is alright and it's weird that you cannot order directly using the QR code which only offers the menu. The location is clean and bright which
