Old Town Shanghai is likely the only Shanghainese restaurant in Sunnyvale. We've been dining here since its opening. The food is authentic, reasonably priced, and we always enjoy eating here. Recently, they've expanded their menu to include dishes from outside of Shanghai. They also now offer a family special, where you can choose three items from the family meal special for $48. 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. read more

We ordered the 生前包 (pan fried soup dumplings), eggplant with basil, 滷豬耳 (braised pig ear), and 白菜炒年糕 napa cabbage stir fried rice cake. Overall the food was pretty solid! Not too oily and well seasoned. The pan fried soup dumplings had lots of soup inside and maintained a nice crispiness. Do keep in mind it's a fluffier bao zi texture and not dumpling skin but i actually rlly liked it. Service is fast even for a pretty busy Saturday lunch rush. The price range is comparable to most other small Chinese spots too. read more

Old Town Shanghai - Eggplant w/ Basil - Shanghainese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

A very homely restaurant with attentive and friendly service. Fried Gluten Stuffed with Meat 5/5 This was a childhood favorite that my family used to make all the time, and this restaurant perfectly recreates that comforting taste. The meat filling is plump and tender, and the thickened sauce strikes a great balance between salty and sweet. Egg Dumpling with Cabbage Soup 4/5 The egg skin of the egg dumplings is too thick. The portion size is also quite small--just two egg dumplings and two shrimp. Considering the price, the value for money is relatively low. Pan-Fried Buns 4/5 The flavor is decent, with juicy broth inside and well-seasoned meat filling. The only downside is the dough, which feels somewhat different from traditional pan-fried buns. read more

Another new and different place to try out. I loved the Shanghai noodles. They are bigger than regular spaghetti noodles and the flavor wasn't overly salty and soy sauced. I could eat a whole bowl by myself :). Customers were in and out. They are popular. The waitresses were helpful with ordering. Actually, they recommended the items on the menu with pictures. I like the flavor of Xlb with the pink ginger and vinegar sauce. These came with plain ginger so it was okay for me. The wonton soup was hot and filling, the fried fish with the egg yolk was crispy and good. It's a great place to try Shanghai cuisine. read more

This place is closed permanently as of today 2025/09/22. Was hoping to try it again and found out tonight it has changed owner. It is new menu that covers bao and dumping only. Despite my previous bad experience with this place I was able to do take out couple times that were good. It is kinda sad to see it is gone. read more

I enjoy their atmospheres, the foods taste fine. During the summer, you can sit outside and enjoy the breeze and wind. The store boss said I came to their store around 2:25pm, and it was too late for the staffs, because they take a break around 2:30pm. I told the boss, if I came back here next time. I will arrive around 2:15pm. read more

Have been enjoying their dishes n dim sum for quite some years. Their pan fried boa is always delicious. And, they recalls the dishes we had in the Shanghai restaurants in Hong Kong. Most important, the food quality is very consistent. Also, they recently offer more selections - having a new menu with several "dishes not in Shanghai style " Highly recommend! read more

A few other menu items I tried. Noodles with Scallion Sauce (3/5). The fried egg on top was a bit overcooked for me. The noodles and sauce were flavorful but not what I was expecting or hoping for. I know it's a simple dish, but I am no expert on this dish. My search continues. Sweet and Sour Spareribs (3.5) - good flavor, but not enough meat on the ribs. read more

It's a Chinese comfort food place with solid offerings with nods to ShangHai. I cannot say they are authentic and some dishes are definitely not ShangHai related. Just standard dishes for typical Chinese restaurants. Strangely, the one I enjoyed most was the pan-fried belt fish. Of course we order the fired bao 生煎包 -- two orders. They were not bad, but not the best I hand. XLB 小龍包 was OK, the gingers and vinegar that must accompany them were not. I wouldn't mind coming again, particular when ShangHai foods are getting rarer these days. Forgot to take pictures. Sigh.. read more

My family and I randomly decided to go out for dinner. We weren't 100% set on the original place we chose, so when we passed by Old Town Shanghai, we decided to eat here instead. There was a short wait before we were seated. The ladies were very nice and apologetic about us having to wait - which I thought was very rare these days. Note, there is an option to sit outside (there were 2 or 3 tables out there), but it was cold so we chose to wait. As for the food - we ordered the wine chicken, beef & beef tendon soup, mapo egg tofu, spicy minced pork dry noodles, and and pan fried buns. We originally wanted a rice dish, but I completely forgot to order, which was unfortunate because the tofu would've tasted amazingggg with rice. It was good with noodles too - I'd just gotta make sure I don't include broth. I really loved their pan fried buns. So juicy! My brother said he was just "meh" about it...but he ate 2 whole ones, LOL. He usually dig out the meat in the enter if he doesn't like the bun portion. The noodle dishes were good as well, but they don't stand out much. FYI - they do charge $ for hot tea. They'll still ask if you want water or tea so just a head's up if you're going with people who are used to getting tea at Chinese restaurants as a tradition. They did warn us that it'd be extra charge when my mom chose tea though. I'd say that counts as good customer service - it's rare to hear them inform you about the costs these days. read more

Located in a neighborhood mini mall with parking is this unassuming spot with great food. Food was authentic in taste and variety. Shao long bao provided a tasty soup with each bite. We enjoyed the fried buns with its flavorful meat filling alongside the rice cake noodles which had the slight chewy texture and satisfying seasoning with just right salt level. The ribs sauce was a sweet vinegar surprise-plate lacking quality. Ambiance was pleasant and service great. Outdoor seating also available (yes the tables have shade). read more

First time to visit this restaurant for lunch . the environment was kind of like traditional chinese restaurant , with very friendly waitresses there. We ordered pork noodle and pork over rice . The pork was not dry , but soft and tasty . The rice plate came in a good portion size which would be big enough for lunch . The noodle was pretty good . We also tried xiaolongbao as well , be expected need to take 15-20mins wait time , but the taste was kind of average . I will come here more often for lunch . read more

This restaurant has changed ownership and has a new name (I think it's called Umami Dumpling) and new menu. We tried the fried pork buns (SJB) which were our favorite from Old Town Shanghai, and they were pretty good. The beef noodle soup was meh. Very sad to see OTS not in business anymore, their menu had more variety. read more

We got a combo meal that came with rice or pan-fried soup dumplings, plus three dishes. The portion was just right--enough for two adults and two kids. For the dishes, the salt and pepper spare ribs were a bit on the tough side, but the flavor was decent. The soy sauce chicken was tender and tasted pretty good. The shrimp dish was fresh and not too greasy. We arrived around 6 PM, and it wasn't crowded, which made it a comfortable spot for families with kids. Might come back again. read more

Came here on a Thursday after work and the plaza is pretty empty. The restaurant was pretty empty too but the waitress was not too attentive. When it came time to take our order, she spoke to us across the room lol. We ended up ordering some vegetable pork wonton soup and a fried chicken rice plate. The wontons came out first after some time and they were pretty good. There was definitely a lot of vegetables in them. I was really excited for the chicken but it ended up taking so long and when it came out it was so over fried and dry. I did appreciate that they came with a variety of side dishws but aa I'm writing this there is still chicken fibers wedged between my molars. I'd steer clear of anything fried here but the other stuff could be okay. read more

Waited super long for the food... The store needs to better balance its delivery/pickup and dine in... Went on a weekday night, was quickly seated but waited a long time to order then get the food. There is just a lack of servers and cooks. Ordered a bunch, spareribs was really good and authentic, pig ear also tastes yummy and crispy. But honestly disappointed at the tofu puff and noodles - could be more flavored and pig feet in the noodles could be deeper cooked. The store seems to be prioritizing takeout/delivery over dine in, because as we waited for our food multiple deliveries was picked up. Due to the busyness, two owners(?) seemed to be in a fight and yelled/complained impatiently, which is not contributing to a good dinning experience... After tax and tip was $35 per person. read more

Finally decided to explore further away and try this place. I don't know why this is old Shanghai when it is straight up taiwanese. The beef noodle I had is taiwanese. There is several other dishes that are all very familiar. Anyways. It was typical. My food came quick like in 2 min for the beef noodle... translation, just boil some noodle and put in the ready made beef stew. I thought the beef briskets were a little overcooked. In any case, will be back for more... mainly the rice plates... nice taiwanese restaurant read more

Old Town Shanghai - Beef noodle soup - Shanghainese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Got a seat right away at 6pm on Sunday night. There was a little bit of a wait for take out. There were also large parties of Chinese people eating so I thought, wow this is going to be authentic! We had a toddler with us so things had to be fast. They had a high chair and seated us right away. What was disappointing was the xlb and pan fried buns take 25 mins to make. They make it when ordered so there was no way we would probably be able to order it. They said they had a lot of to go orders too so it would take a while. They told us the noodles would be the fastest and any of the pictures on the menu would be their specialties. I ordered the minced pork dry noodles, beef tendon noodle soup, braised pork belly with bean curd, a seaweed and cucumber appetizer. None were spectacular. The beef noodle soup wasn't very flavorful. The dry noodles was just sweet, so was the braised pork belly. The seaweed wasn't even very flavorful, I expected more garlic or vinegar on seaweed bows. Even the cold spicy cucumber dish was not smashed and didn't taste good. I miss ASJ. I didn't think a Shanghai place could be bad but this place really missed the spot. Not much else in the plaza so I wouldn't go out of my way to come eat here. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm and there was quite a few people here. They have outdoor and indoor dining. Spicy Minced Pork Dry Noodles - yummy! Not too spicy but it was packed with so much flavor! The minced pork was well marinated and cook. Finally minced pork that didn't feel dry at all! Simmered Combo - my husband's childhood snack. He absolutely loved it. Simple and easy dish. XLB - meat was very tendered and juicy. Pan Fried Bun - just like the XLB, the meat was tender and juicy! Still has crips on the bottom. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Y'all this is where Mama Chef moved. I miss the Taiwanese owner's hospitality and her incredible small dishes. We stopped by Old Town Shanghai for a late lunch, after a semi-disappointing experience at Hanabusa next door. This spot is famous for their pan-fried buns and XLB. We got their chicken XLB since ya girl does not eat red meat. The XLB is so juicy and flavorful, 100% recommend that since it was my favorite item. We also ordered a bunch of pork items- spare rib, wontons, and a smoked fish. At our table, everyone clamored about their panfried buns, which came out distinctively in a copycat cast iron pan. We looked around the other tables, and noticed some rice dishes and noodles, but we wanted more small plates and special entrees. We left very full and satisfied. All of the foods were very affordable and flavorful. We also noticed a lot of doordash orders were picked up throughout the lunch. There were large groups of multiple families to the single diner as well. Definitely recommend Old Town Shanghai for your Chinese/Taiwanese dining needs if you're looking for something authentic and no-fuss. Seating is only indoors though. My Asian family will def be back. read more

Came back for the sheng jian bao and to try a couple of other dishes after my first visit and we chose some great stuff! The sheng jian bao was filled with delicious soup with thin skin and a crispy bottom. As good as I had expected and satisfied my craving! We also got the beef noodle soup which was great with chewy hand cut noodles and a good amount of beef, bok choy and pickled veggies. The sweet and sour ribs were also a good choice and would come back for both! read more

This place has the best Fried Pork Buns (shēng jīan bāo 生煎包) and braised fried rice with pork I've ever had!!!! I order those 2 dishes every time. The fried pork buns have extremely juicy and tender meat with the perfect flavour and amount of soup. The buns are fried to a beautiful golden brown on the bottom adding a layer of crunchy texture to the tender meat and soup wrapped inside. Each bite is bliss. The braised fried rice is very 香, it has a great flavour and makes you want to keep eating more and more. I've also tried their Spicy Minced Pork Dry Noodles and cauliflower but those were too dry and not as good. They have both a brick and mortar location (seems to be a good location (also nearby Hanabusa Cafe!) with decent environment/seating inside) and are also available on Uber Eats. read more

Visit: 7/10/21 Came here with Amy after I got wrecked at my first singles match! LOL. And yes, there were tears shed. Thank you Amy for being there to support me. Oh, what a privilege to be able to cry about such menial things. Parking: quite small, but we found one! Menu: a good variety of classic items you'd find at a Chinese restaurant Service: Okay service....lol. But at least the restaurant was quite clean NOTE: I dunno if they fixed this yet, but For two people, we ordered: 1) Beef noodle soup: not bad, but not as good as my favorite spot. However, solid beef + noodle + soup! 2) Spicy oil chili wonton: the spiciness is all on the bottom, so make sure you dig it up! Still good, nothing to complain. 3) Dan dan noodles: WOAHH this is definitely a meal on its own lol. Its good! Not as peanut buttery as I liked though. Tasted more like minced meat noodles. 4) XLB: Nice! Came with 8 pieces in a basket. Nothing to complain. Eat fast though, because it does dry up quick! Overall, I would come here again! I enjoyed it enough that I'd like to try other things. read more

Wish we checked out all the recent reviews before coming... Food resulted in diarrhea. The pork in the pan fried dumplings were smelly and definitely not fresh. The dough and topped sesames also tasted bland. The sautéed shrimp super salty and extremely expensive for the amount provided. Super slow service. Ambiance wise, contemporary design however super slow at receiving the food. Extremely disappointed. Will not be coming again, do not recommend! read more

There was a kid next to us pounding on the table and whining about how hangry he was. Little man, I feel you! I was so close to joining in because the wait for the food at Old Town Shanghai is no joke. IDK if you can totally blame it on covid because food service was also VERY slow prior to the pandemic. Maybe both my visits (pre-covid and covid) were on very off days. Old Town Shanghai is open for indoor dining, outdoor dining (5 shaded tables), takeout, and delivery (3rd party apps). With restrictions fully lifted, they still have covid safety protocols in place: all staff wears masks, single use menus, hand sanitizer on every table, and there's a front table with disinfectant wipes and gloves for use. M E N U Shanghainese with a touch of Taiwanese. F O O D (current prices listed) * Mix-Mix ($10.95): https://bit.ly/3xzDtyH It's not stated on the menu but this is a mix of pig ear, beef tripe, and bean curd. I enjoyed this on both visits. If you like gelatinous, offal goodness, you will enjoy this too. * Plain Boiled Chicken (1/2-$18.95): https://bit.ly/3wAr9gr Ordered this on my first visit and the chicken didn't taste fresh. Ordered it again on my second visit because we wanted something healthy (like hainan chicken) and it was much better! This time, the chicken arrived with a glistening yellow skin with a thin layer of jelly between the skin and the meat. The yellow-feather chicken is smaller but has a more concentrated chicken-y flavor. It's served with a sweet soy dipping sauce. * Fried Pork Chop Over Rice ($11.95): https://bit.ly/3k96rBJ Fav dish of everything I've tried. This is like a Taiwanese Bento Box with a savory and tender pan-fried pork chop, rice topped with ground pork, steamed cabbage, pickled veggies, soy egg, and bean curd. Great value and very delicious. * Minced Pork Dry Noodles ($8.95): https://bit.ly/3hyLiPx Disappointing, the dan-dan style noodles were overcooked with some clumps, yet the bok choy (underneath) was undercooked. The savory sweet minced pork (ground pork) was good and the fried egg still had some runny yolk. But, can't have a solid dry noodle dish if the noodles don't have a springy chew. * Sheng Jian Bao: Pan-fried Pork Buns (6 pc -$9.95): https://bit.ly/3hzzlZX On my first visit, the SJB never arrived after waiting over an hour. After multiple follow-ups and being told "it's coming" multiple times, we spoke to the owner who stated, it "may" take another 20 minutes. I cancelled it. On my second visit, the SJB didn't arrived after waiting an hour for it so I cancelled it again. BUT on both visits, I saw other tables who arrived after us receive their SJB. As we were getting up to leave and go inside to sign the bill, it arrived. Go figure! The SJB is larger than the norm, fluffy soft bao with a small savory pork filling (large air pocket) and some soup inside. While the bottoms were golden, they could be crisper. Vinegar dipping sauce was watered down. It's good but not worth the unreasonably long wait. My fav SJBs are at Yummy Yummy Bao/Pan Fried Dumplings on S De Anza (Cupertino/SJ) and Dumpling Home (SF). S E R V I C E Very friendly owner. Staff is nice and well-intentioned but service is painfully slow and disorganized. Again, maybe I visited on very off days but it seems like they overpromise and underdeliver. On both visits (pre-covid and covid), we arrived right at opening and the first to order, yet we watch tables who arrived after us, eat, and leave before our complete order arrives. Overall, pretty good Shanghainese food but you may need to come with a hella patience and assertiveness. read more

Food (1/5) Came here with a party of three for weekday lunch. We first placed an order for the Pan-Fried Buns knowing this dish will take ~20mins to be made. We then ordered the Sweet Lotus Roots w/ Sticky Rice (1/5), Honey Smoked Fish (2/5) for starters, and Stir-Fried Green Beans (not pictured on their usual menu as it was on the specials). The Sweet Lotus Roots w/ Sticky Rice was very disappointing. The picture is misleading as it makes the lotus root appear much larger than it actually was - each slice was about a quarter of a palm size (no joke). I also found the osmanthus flavor lacking. It arrived cold. The Honey Smoked Fish came with a decent amount of fish but was very one-noted sweet. I would've liked some salt for balance. Price (1/5) The Sweet Lotus Roots w/ Sticky Rice was $10.95, very overpriced for the small portion you receive. The Honey Smoked Fish was $14.95 which is also overpriced for the quality of fish you receive. Wait Time (0/5) Our starters (lotus roots and fish) arrived quickly, in about five minutes. **The main issue was how many five take-out orders were sent out while we were waiting. Of course I understand that take-out orders are a necessary component of business. It is a problem if you are seated in the restaurant and waiting nearly 45mins for Pan-Fried Buns and Stir-Fried Green Beans. Stir-Fried Green Beans do not take 45mins to cook. It was disheartening to see many orders leave the restaurant whereas we were left to sit with our cold empty starter plates. We eventually left. There were only two other tables (one table of one, one table of two) when we arrived. We were seated immediately and received our drinks quickly. Ambience (5/5) The restaurant is clean and has nice decor. No concerns. Service (2/5) I didn't expect 5-star service but the service could've been better. We waited at least 40 mins before asking the waitress about our food, who replied that the "food is coming" in Mandarin. This was not true as our food was not ready even when we decided to leave rather than wait longer. Parking/Access (4/5) There is about a ten-car parking lot in front of the restaurant and additional parking in the back (about 20 spots). I would not come back unless I knew for certain I would not have to waste nearly an hour in an almost empty restaurant waiting for food. I'm disappointed because the food was delicious years ago and I am all for supporting local businesses. read more

WARNING: BAD SERVICE ATTITUDE! Food is ok but I had a utmost terrible experience tonight ordering takeout. First I ordered through their website for takeout. The website said transaction failed. So I called to place the order. When I got to the store, they told me both orders were accepted and the owner BLAMED me to place double order instead of investigating their website. It was terrible attitude from their side. And they pressed me to pay for both orders and only offered to dispute the credit card charge for me, which I doubt they will help with. It is not about the extra charge, it is the attitude of the owner that blames customer for their own fault that disgusts me. read more

Outdoor dining is available! Wear a jacket, it is windy. Service is great! OMG on the pan fried bun. I used to visit old San Francisco pan fried bun place but that location does not have outdoor dining. And anything other food there is bad. The place all noodle and bun dishes are fresh and amazing! Max number of ppl can fit in a table is 6. You can have multiple tables but there cant big ones. Dishes are on the same side so order more. Order 2 pan fried bun per person because everyone wanted 2nd and it takes long time to make. read more

TL;DR - Get the pan fried buns! This is a little local spot tucked in a quiet plaza with parking available. The place is currently to go only, there are a couple of tables outside you could sit at. They do not take credit cards below a certain amount, I think $20 or $25. I call ahead to order the pan fried buns, they take around 20-30 minutes to make. The pan fried buns are fantastic. Crispy bottoms and chewy dough that is not too thick. Be careful biting into them, they are filled with flavorful broth and a juicy pork filling, like a xiao long bao. An order comes with 6 and makes for a delicious and filling meal. I always order the buns, one of my local favorites. I've tried a variety of other dishes here, most have been ok but not great. The pork with salted egg yolk is pretty good and so is the spicy minced pork dry noodles, though both are quite oily. I found the Shanghai style chow mein and chicken to be bland, and the spicy shrimp and pork wontons are just ok and not worth it. The pan fried buns keep me coming back though! read more

Was craving some Chinese comfort food and stumbled upon this gem on Yelp. I placed a phone order for their Beef Noodle Soup, Fried Pork Buns, Spicy Minced Pork Dry Noodles, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs, and Fried Pork Chop Over Rice box ($70 total before tip). When I got home, I saw that all the food was neatly packed and there were no leaks. However, the portion for the Beef Noodle Soup looked only half full in the container and the meat portion was super small (4 pieces total). The noodles and veggies were packed separately so it wouldn't be soggy, and that portion was decent. In terms of taste, the food was really yummy. Even though the portions for the beef noodle soup was small, it was still tasty and well made. I really enjoyed the spicy minced pork dry noodles (it did have some noodles clumped together, so maybe it's better fresh when you can mix things together right away). I loved the fried pork buns and am very excited to find a place that makes them authentically here in the Bay. The sweet and sour spare ribs were tender and the meat slid off the bones. The fried pork chops were flavorful, even after being reheated as leftovers. I would definitely still come back because everything was very authentic and tasted delicious. I would be cautious about portion sizes next time and hope that they won't reduce them again. read more

Popular place. We got there relatively early but it was overflowing by the time we left. The ambience was certainly pleasant and the place was bustling. Maybe we ordered the wrong food because it was just OK. We had an order of XLB, a chicken tonkatsu and a noodles with minced pork. The chicken was hardened and almost seemed like it was cooked much earlier. The XLB was the best of the three but didn't appear homemade. I wouldn't order any of these dishes again. Service was very good when we first arrived, but by the end, we were unable to flag anyone to get our check, to take our payment and return our card. I finally sent my reluctant little kid up there to the register a couple times. Would I try it again? I'm not sure, but I'd certainly read what other's recommended and try those instead. read more

As promised, I came back to try their xiao long bao in a dine-in setting. It was great! The filling has good flavor, and filled with juice. The wrapper is on the thicker side, especially if you're used to Din Tai Fung style, but I like both kinds. Not too crowded for a Sunday lunch time, I think most people are still ordering to go. I sincerely hope they can survive this time and continue serving yummy food! read more

We went here for dinner. This place is usually busy but we got seated pretty quickly. Our order consisted of: Chicken wonton soup: Was served hot in a single large pot and we were given smaller soup bowls and spoons. Soup had very good refreshing flavors. We particularly liked the sea weed flavor. Chow Mein Shanghai style: Nothing to write home about for this entree. it was ok. We however did feel cheated of our chicken here. There were hardly any. Chicken Tonkatsu: Tasted alright and wasn't too oily. Chicken Xiaolongbao: This was the one we were waiting for. We had 3 orders for this one and it was good. They mention on the menu it takes 25 minute for this entree to be served. They were served in steel dumpling steamers stacked one on top of the other. I might say it was a slight attraction for other diners. The xiaolongbaos were steamed well and the chicken and soup tasted veery good. Ambience: Casual. No booths. Clean well maintained. Quantity: Ok Parking: Adequate Times visited: 1 read more
