Just one of the dishes we had... was so good I didn't have a chance to take photos before it was all gone! Everything was great, my favorite was the Shanghai pan fried buns, which were soft on top, crispy bottom, and super juicy inside, the meat filling sitting in soup! Just be careful when biting into them!! read more

Shanghai Bun Dynasty - Just one of the dishes I managed to photo before it was all gone! - Shanghainese Near Me - Cupertino, California

Hot and sour soup was perfectly spicy, XLB and green beans were highlights. The portion sizes are good and well worth the money, only gripe is the QR code ordering is a little wonky. read more

We had the spicy wonton soup, the xiao long bao, and the pan-fried pork buns. The spicy wonton soup broth was mostly mild and tasted like chili oil without much depth, but the wontons themselves were juicy and flavorful. The pork filling was slightly sweet, and eating the wontons with the broth made the dish much more enjoyable. The pan-fried pork buns were a yum yum. They were soft with a crispy bottom, filled with juicy meat, and had a nice amount of soup inside. The xiao long bao were tasty as well. The wrappers were a little chewy, but the filling and overall flavor were still very good. There's music in the background and a dimmed surrounding. We were sat, given a pitcher of water, and ordered our food through the QR code. Even though we dined in, it was a self-service spot for our time here. Overall, we'd come back again. read more

We ordered xiao long bao and a few Shanghainese dishes. I was especially looking forward to the 响油鳝糊 (eel with sizzling oil), but when it arrived, there was no "sizzling oil" at all -- which is literally the soul of this classic dish, bringing out its aroma, flavor, and texture. When I asked one server, they didn't seem to understand that the dish is supposed to have that signature sizzling finish. Another server said it might have been done in the kitchen already, but that completely misses the point. The sizzling oil is meant to be poured right before serving for the full effect. It feels like the kitchen and staff lack a real understanding of Shanghainese cuisine, and that shows in the execution. Other dishes, like the crab roe noodles, were also underwhelming. Overall, pretty disappointing. read more

Really solid food, great decor, super nice service, decent prices... this place really checks all the boxes. I've been here many times (despite it not being all that convenient for me) because pretty much all their food is good. Dumplings, noodles, stir fries - all consistently excellent. I've had a lot of the dishes they serve here in Shanghai, and of course nothing compares to eating in China. But if you're looking for good representations of those then you'll be happy here. Parking is tough during busy times, and they take credit cards. read more

First time trying out authentic Shanghai food at Cupertino. I really like the decor, it's not too traditional but brings you back to the olden days. The foods are well balanced, I ordered more and we finished everything. Just found out the Purple rice was a dessert but my companions enjoyed it brings a little korean Purple rice feels. We definitely enjoyed our meal and will return again. read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday around 11am. When we arrived there were only 1-2 other groups dining, but it took a while before anyone came to take our order. When they finally did, we were told we had to order online ourselves. It would've been nice if they had told us that right away instead of making us wait. Once we placed our order, though, the food came out surprisingly fast (around 10 minutes), even as the restaurant started getting busier. We ordered the Shanghai stir-fried noodles, braised pork belly with quail eggs, basil eggplant, tofu with crab roe, Jiangnan-style chicken, and rice. The standout dish for me was definitely the tofu with crab roe--I'm a huge tofu fan and the fish roe added so much flavor. So good! I also really enjoyed the noodles; they tasted fresh and homemade rather than store-bought. The eggplant was tasty too, although I wasn't a fan of the texture of the skin. My husband's favorite was the braised pork belly. The only dish we probably wouldn't order again was the chicken. Overall, once the ordering hiccup was out of the way, service was quick, the portions were generous, and the prices felt reasonable for the amount of food we got--especially for the Bay Area. We'd definitely come back and try more dishes. read more

We visited on a weekend around 11 a.m., just before the lunch rush. At the time, there was only one larger table already dining and another couple who were seated at the same time as us. The food itself was tasty, though some dishes were noticeably saltier than others. Salty enough to leave me feeling parched for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. Our dishes arrived at different times, and a few were forgotten altogether. It appeared that at least one of our missing items may have been served to tables that arrived after us. When my wife inquired about the missing dishes, there was no apology--just a brief response before the server walked away. At one point, a server misheard and delivered our final dish to a larger table. We could hear a staff member loudly reprimanding another server, which added to the chaotic atmosphere. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and stressful. I'm giving a lower rating based solely on the service, which significantly detracted from an otherwise decent meal. Additionally, the tip percentage is calculated on the grand total. Which left a larger tip than I wanted to give them. read more

TLDR: I hate to be the contrarian here, but this place is a such a terrible disappointment. Very disappointing food.. Out of the six dishes that we ordered, only the pea sprouts were any good. Pluses: Service was courteous. Nice Classic "Old Shanghai" vibe with dark polished furniture with red accents. XLB: 1.8/5 - juicy but the pork filling seemed off, and the outer skin like all of their steamed offerings were overcooked. Shanghai Pan Fried Buns 2/5 - we've tried these at a lot of places now, and sadly, the ones here come in dead last. And.. THIS is their signature dish!!! Juicy yes, but overly fatty juice. a good crust yes, but the doughy shell is much thicker and doughier than Shanghai Buns elsewhere. Too fatty, too much dough here. At best this is not my taste. Pork & Cabbage Dumplings: This usually is a no-brainer for any place to get right. But not here. Again, the dumplings are far too overcooked and not the right color anymore. (1.8/5) I've eaten these standard classic dishes at dozens of dumpling establishments but the food here just did not taste right to me. Verdict: The food here was such a disappointment. Not even close to being on point when there are so many other places that execute the same dishes at a much higher level. Shanghai Bun Dynasty - do better! read more

Nice Chinese decor. Extensive menu options. For xiao long bao, dumplings and wonton soups. The xiao long bao and pan fried bao are very juicy. The small and big wonton soups were also very good flavors. Friendly staff. You can also buy frozen items home to cook. Definitely worth it to come back and try other dishes. read more

Always love their authentic Shanghai food. Never disappointed with their dishes. Highly recommended!

The braised pork belly and quail egg is yummy They gave standard expected dim sum dishes as well as some kind of tasty crab soap I loved. I will probably go back when in Cupertino. It has an old style Hong Kong feel I recall from living in Hong Kong in the 70's read more

tried this shanghainese spot. you order everything from your phone and the menu is pretty big. some dishes were solid, but a few were kind of a miss. overall food leaned pretty oily tho, so it felt a bit heavy after a while. okay experience but a little hit or miss depending on what you get. read more

Come for: sheng jian bao, xiao long bao Know that: the soy milk portions are BIG I came on a weekday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to see no line. The clientele and staff tended to speak Mandarin though the staff can also speak English. The service was very nice and attentive. The restaurant ambiance is like stepping back in time to early 1900s Shanghai. Sheng jian bao was the highlight here. Crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The broth tended more towards the savory side as some places like it sweet. But the bottom was some of the crispiest I've ever had. Very good! Similarly, the xiao long bao was excellent as well. Thin wrapper, soupy filling. The broth was the aame as the sheng jian bao. Paired very well with the vinegar. I also had the soy milk, scallion oil noodles, and braised pork belly w/ quail. They were all fine but I didn't find them to be standouts. The soy milk was grainier than I'd like it to be. I'd probably order something else next time. Overall, very good dumpling spot! Would definitely visit if you love a savory soup dumpling or sheng jian bao. read more

Staff member was a bit confused about the yelp waitlist but luckily the place was only half full when I arrived for a weekday lunch. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

We came here on a weekday night with a big group and a reservation, so we got a private room! It's set up for karaoke with two big speakers and disco lights, but we didn't test it out. This isn't too rare for big, traditional Chinese restaurants, but the hygiene could have been better. I lifted the napkin off my plate to eat and I found a toothpick underneath, which made me uncomfy. We also requested soup bowls and some of them were dirty. The ladies who served us were all super sweet and patient and it had vibes like eating at my Chinese grandma's house. The food was overall great and I think it was a reasonable price for the quality we received (around $40/person after tax and tip). We had: xiao long bao (5/5 no complaints. a nice amount of broth inside.) braised pork belly (4/5, a little too salty. I love quail eggs.) tofu with crab roe (5/5. so good!) fried shrimp (3/5 okay, but this isn't my kind of dish) fried chicken with dried red peppers (3/5 this was a MOUNTAIN of dried red pepper with some pieces of fried chicken hidden underneath. I thought the chicken was a little hard and dry) meatball stew soup (3/5; GIGANTIC meatballs in broth. not my kind of dish) shanghai ham and vegetables rice (4/5 tasty, but when is fried rice not) tofu noodles (3/5 fresh but nothing special) dessert soup with small tangyuan and osmanthus (2/5. alcohol taste was too strong for me and the tangyuan were a little hard, like they were freezer burned) sweet lotus (3/5, too sweet for me) Great place for big groups. Would come again! read more

Came here on sat around 6pm, got seated right away. The service was good, our waiter was attentive. The food was decent and tasted like typical Chinese food, but it didn't give us the wow factor, so giving it a 4 stars. Overall, our experience was good, but will probably try other restaurants before coming back. We ordered: - sweet and sour crispy cucumber: 5/5 - sweet and sour pork ribs: 4/5, very sour and there weren't a lot of meat - xiao long bao: 5/5, juicy - pan fried buns: 5/5, - pea sprouts: 5/5 - string beans: 5/5 - braised beef wrap: 4/5, tasted ok, the scallion pancake was kind of hard to eat - crispy tofu: 5/5, this was the fav of the night, the tofu was very crispy and tasty - west lake beef stew: 5/5 read more

This place finally has gotten better! I tried years ago and it was only meh. Gave another try because seeing a crowd outside waiting for tables. Food was great! Love the XLB. The skin was perfect and won't break easily. I also recommend the Shanghai fried noodles. I don't really see that type of noodles around and they made it really flavorful and delicious. I will go back just for that noodles fr. There are many tables inside. I think they can fit in multiple big party. Will return! read more

This is located in a plaza shared with the Tokyo Central as well as many other popular businesses. As a result, parking xan be pretty hit or miss during busy times. They used to be called Shanghai No 1, not sure if there was a change in ownership or not as we never went to the previous business. The interior is decorated very nicely and very old school. The furniture is all very nice. We ordered a tofu and pork dish, dan dan noodles, and any time I see bingfen on a menu, I gotta order it. The tofu was perfectly seasoned, tender, and tasty. The dan dan noodles were yummy, flavors were all there. I was disappointed with the bingfen. It wasn't the best I've had. I would absolutely come back in the future and try their other offerings! read more

This place used to be one of my parents' favorite restaurants, and I have fond memories of bringing friends here when visiting. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was so disappointing that we won't be returning. My family came here for lunch. The restaurant wasn't very busy, yet two of the five dishes we ordered were unavailable. When we tried to order alternatives, we were told those were out too. Our original server sent a coworker to let us know, and the staff had to keep going back to the kitchen just to figure out what was actually still available. The wait for our food was unreasonably long, especially considering that parties who arrived after us were seated and served first, which made no sense. What was worse was how difficult it was to get anyone's attention. It felt like we were being intentionally ignored. Multiple staff members walked right past us as we raised our hands or tried to call out. When we were finally able to get a hold of someone, they would walk away mid-sentence while we were still asking a question. The food itself was a letdown. The green onion pancakes arrived burnt. The sweet and sour chicken was overly saucy, greasy, and had a gamey taste. The pacing was completely off: the chicken came out first without the rice we ordered (which we had to flag someone down for), followed by the pancakes, and then the baos. By the time each dish arrived, we had already finished the previous one and were waiting. The xiaolongbao and shengjianbao were both good, but they weren't nearly good enough to make us want to come back. read more

I haven't had amazing Shanghainese food since Shanghai Dumpling closed, but this place checks all the boxes! All the food was delicious and fresh, albeit a little on the sweeter side. I really enjoyed the crab soup dumplings. The skin was really thin and the crab and pork meat inside was intensely flavorful and tender. The stir fried noodles were coated in a rich oyster sauce, and the fried squirrel fish was lightly crispy. read more

I still agree with my first review! I came back to try other dishes I said I would try last time I was here. It was not disappointing at all! I got the crispy pork leg. It was crispy outside and tender inside . The flying fish presentation so nice and fish was good too. Everything we got was yummy only disappointment was the fried rice. I felt it was not fried enough as it tasted like steam rice and they just mixed in the egg, shrimp and veggies. read more

Delicious Shanghainese food! I had a fantastic meal at this Shanghainese restaurant. The highlight was definitely the soup dumplings (SJB) -- filled with rich, flavorful broth and a crisp wrapper. The filling was juicy and well-seasoned, making every bite incredibly satisfying. The dishes tasted authentic, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. Service was attentive and friendly, and the restaurant had a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the dining experience even better. If you're craving authentic Shanghainese food, especially delicious SJB, this place is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We had the cold chicken appetizer, smoked fish appetizer, xiao long Bao, and tofu with salted egg. The chicken was tasty, the tofu was super flavorful with a crispy exterior and silken interior. We probably would have enjoyed the fish more if it had been pompano, instead of what was likely tilapia. The xlb had a chewy skin. Overall, we were happy with the quality and taste of our food. Service was pleasant and very prompt. read more

My group went in to try this place because it seemed new. It was a weekday so there wasn't much people. Ordering was through mobile scanning a qr code, and we got the triple shrimp tossed noodles, sichuan boiled beef, savory rice roll, salt and pepper pork cutlet, and brownsugared glutinous ricecake. The server was friendly and food were delicious and well seasoned. The rice roll and pork cutlet were my favorites with the crispy filling in rice roll and freshly fried crunchy pork. The pork came at the end when I was full but I still ate multiple pieces because it's so crispy. The salt and pepper were also not overwhelming and balance well with the pork meat. The boiled beef was tender and had a nice spice flavor but I wish it was spicier. The triple shrimp tossed noodles was solid, came with a soup, and has a flavorful shrimp taste. It was my first time trying brownsugared glutinous ricecake and I liked it. It's like sweet pan-fried rectangle rice balls and pretty filling. read more
