Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service made the experience even better. The cucumber salad super refreshing. The fried rice was tasty, especially with the chili oil, soy sauce, and vinegar mixed in. The pork xiao long bao was juicy and full of flavor, and the pan-fried pork and cabbage dumplings were perfectly crispy, filling, and so delicious. The hot soy milk was simple but so comforting. The absolute highlight of the meal was the braised beef shank--so tender, rich, and packed with flavor. We finished with the chocolate bao, which was the perfect sweet ending. Great food, great service, and a wonderful overall experience. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

I finally made it to Shanghai Dumpling House after seeing it featured on a instagram and the video was absolutely right. We sampled a wide variety of dishes, and every single one was packed with flavor. Everything came out incredibly fast, even with several different items ordered, and it was all fresh and delicious. The wonton soup is a must-try! The broth was so good, you can take the broth home for just $5. The staff were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit, making the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful food with quick service and great hospitality, Shanghai Dumpling House is definitely worth a visit. The decor is beautiful. We'll absolutely be back!

5/31/26 These dumplings are the most authentic around. Everything is made from scratch. Hand-pulled dough. No pre-made, frozen dumplings. Pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) - recommend Cucumber salad - adds a fresh crisp between savory dumplings - recommend Pork & Shrimp Won Tons in chili sauce - highly recommend Scallion Pancake Beef Roll - highly recommend Chocolate filled dumplings - my table mate devoured these - highly recommend Tip: Make your own dumpling dipping sauce. Ask for fresh sliced ginger. Pour 2 parts black vinegar + 1 part soy sauce over the ginger. Dip your xi long bao and other dumplings in it. Enjoy! ** Wheelchair accessible

Ordered the soup dumplings, wontons in chili oil, and pan-fried dumplings. The food here should come with a warning label because one bite had me questioning every other dumpling I've ever eaten. I came for dinner...and I left planning my return and wondering if it's socially acceptable to order three rounds of dumplings for one person.

The soup dumplings place pop up in Tampa Bay Area. It is good for the consumer like me. Now I have more choices. Shanghai Dumpling is a good choice for the USF area if you not wish to travel far. The restaurant has decent soup dumplings with a lot soup and thin skin dumplings. One thing I don't like is they may the top of the dumplings too thick in skin. It is not the traditional 16 folds. Bite there like bite a piece of dough. All dumplings is good for in filling. Soup is abandoned in the dumpling. I like the traditional soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings. I don't like the scallops and pork dumplings due to I can't taste the scallops. Service is on point. Food also comes out at expected time.

I literally didn't know this place existed here. It's in the previous hot pot place. And let me tell you that this place is the new neighborhood fav because business is poppin! Our wait time was about 20 minutes and the crowd keeps flowing in. You sign in on the kiosk when you arrive and they text you when your table is ready. Service is pretty fast. The soup dumplings is the obvious winner out of all that we tried. If we do go back we will just get the soup dumplings and the fried rice. Those were our favorites. Staff is friendly and despite the crowd, the place is pretty clean. The tea variety is good and taste is pretty good. Be sure to let your dumplings cool down or split them in half because the are piping hot!!!

Who doesn't love potstickers & noodles? For lunch we scurried into Shanghai Dumpling House. The interior was very clean & modern. When we initially arrived they had just opened. We were seated & it was funny to see 4 workers sitting at a back table all just looking down at their IPhones. I kept watching & after a few minutes one looked up. I stared at her & she understood we were sitting & waiting on someone to take our order. So she nudged another worker who then got up to wait on us. Such a sign of the times, lol. We ordered Udon Noodles with chicken, along with pan fried pork potstickers. The udon noodle dish was just average. The potstickers though tasted extremely fresh. I even saw workers behind a window making the dumplings on the spot. Shanghai Dumpling was pretty good. I may return at some point to give them another try.

Great new spot for dumplings! Ordered the chicken & mushroom dumplings which were okay, lacked a bit of flavor. Also got the wonton soup which was tasty, loved the broth! Beef noodle soup was a standout as well, great noodle texture and tasted authentic. Enjoyed the shrimp udon noodle dish as well, good flavor. Service friendly and attentive. Beautiful ambiance inside, clean and bright. Looking forward to trying XLB next visit.

I have been distraught because my favorite Chinese restaurant but I've been going to for so long closed recently. Finding Shanghai Dumpling House really softened the blow. I've had a chance to try a good deal of their menu and overall I'm impressed. My absolute favorite is the pan fried dumplings, which come with a crispy lattice work on the bottom that is so delicious. I've also tried their pork buns, udon noodles, and wonton. All good. The thing I was most excited about was the soup dumplings and I actually think they are just "OK". They honestly pale in comparison to the pan fried dumplings. But nothing I've had here is bad. I also love how when you get a to-go order everything is put inside of an insulated bag and each soup dumpling is in an individual wrapper that helps contain any soup leakage. Much appreciated!

I must say, I finally found my go-to dumpling spot! Everything we ordered was so good, and I can't wait to come back. You can actually see the dumplings being made fresh through the kitchen window, which makes the experience even better. The service was great and fast, and every bite was delicious. 10/10! What I ordered: - Shrimp & Pork Xiao Long Bao - Pan-Fried Cabbage & Pork Dumplings - Beef Stir-Fried Udon - Scallion Pancake - Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai

Okay, we've been to Shanghai Dumpling House twice in one week, so that should tell you something. The soup dumplings are legit. They're made fresh in-house, and the fillings are generous. The chicken soup dumplings were the star for me: soft wrappers, super flavorful broth inside, and actually packed with filling (not skimpy at all). The chicken and mushroom pan-fried dumplings had that perfect crispy bottom and juicy center. So good. The sauce was strong in vinegar for me so we skipped that . The cucumber appetizer was light and refreshing, with a dab of Sriracha. The chicken udon was comforting and satisfying. The only thing I'd tweak was the fried rice , we had the chicken and vegetable fried rice, it could use a little more seasoning or sauce to give it that extra punch. Now for the two different experiences: Our first visit? Amazing. All our food came out in like 10 minutes, service was on point, and everything felt smooth and efficient. Second visit was a little more... relaxed. We had to get up to let our server know we were ready to order because he was on his phone. Came by every 5 mins while we were still eating (which I personally find kind of distracting), but relaxed when we were done ended up going to the front to pay since the check never came. Not awful, just not as polished as the first time. That said , the place is spacious , clean, modern, and such a great addition to the area. The food quality alone will keep us coming back. Next on the list: the fresh soy milk. Definitely worth trying especially if you're a dumpling person.

We heard from @Rachel this place had just opened and decided to pop by for a to go order on our way home. There is plenty of parking. My first impressions were it is spotlessly clean, stylish and spacious. We ordered many items including multiple kinds of soup dumplings, three different pan fried dumplings, siu mai, fried rice and udon noodles. Everything was fantastic even an hour later when we got home! Yoyo provided a homemade soy milk while I waited and it was delicious. She also offered to give us a cucumber salad with our large order and helped me carry everything to the car. Life is good with amazing Shanghai dumplings, made right on site behind a glass window perfect for watching or photographing the process.

The service was great, our server was super sweet! She was very attentive and made great recommendations. We went in on a Sunday night and it was pretty slow in there. I'm not a huge fan of the soup dumplings, they weren't memorable in my opinion. I did however really like the pan fried dumplings, the chicken fried rice and the chocolate baos for dessert are an absolute MUST!
