the service was amazing food tastes fantastic I would recommend and also very cheap the pork buns are delicious

Today we did a comparison of xiao long bao (XLBs) from this place and those from Shanghai Dim Sum Cuisine (a few stalls away). Overall these are "classic"-style XLBs--flavor of these are nice, the dough was quite thin and the size makes them easy to eat. We favored these ones over the other ones based mostly on flavor. Service was nice and ordering was easy. read more

I ordered the beef roll and the pan fried soup buns for home. They were made to order and they tell you that it takes 10-15min. The beef roll was good. Ambiance is typical Crystal Mall. Busy and hard to find a seat during lunch hour. read more

We happened to come by this place after exploring metropolis and soooo glad we did. This food court has soooooooo much food and it's super busy during lunch time. We were literally stalking for tables so we can eat. Anyways, we ended up choosing this place because we saw people with shen jen bao and it looks Soo good. We ended up getting combo a which came with the shen jen bao and a vermicelli tofu puff soup. The wait was a little long because they made it when you order and it was definitely Worth it. For $10.25 Canadian money, you get 5 plump pan fried soup buns and a small bowl of soup. It was a really good deal. The buns was perfectly crisp and fat and juicy. It was also flavorful. The soup was a simple soup but still good. Overall, I want to come back and tried other food here because I saw a lot of people grabbing interesting items from here. read more

The bun was so thin! It was piping hot when it came out and the flavor was so good. It was a good cheap eat, though the wait was quite significant for a small order. read more

Shanghai Fortune Cuisine - Xlb - shanghai juicy pork buns - Chinese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

It's a perfect XLB soup dumpling, freshly steamed to order. They are juicy with seasoned meaty flavour, a thin skin, and bursting with soup inside. In our opinion, it's better than the Shanghai Dimsum House nearby which is also pretty good. Their tofu soup is also light and nice with boiled dumpling water flavour in a good way. It's not too salty and hydrating with no hint of MSG. read more

I used here before and I like it. Today's experience totally ruined the good memories. I ordered pan fried Shanghai thick noodle. $9.25 the ingredients were only noodle, meat and cabbage. I went to the counter and complained it looks different from menu picture and different ingredient too. What the owner replied to me "it's just picture." Only cashier girl said sorry to me. Honestly I won't pay $9.25 for it next time. read more

The food is alway made to order and is absolutely delicious. We ordered 5 dishes had to wait at least 15 minutes but they did warn us. It is in the food courts at the Crystal, seating is a challenge during peak times. read more

Review only for the dandan noodle (#20 labelled as spicy sichuan noodle in english for some reason). Dandan noodles is a dish that can vary so much but what I like is very nutty and creamy. This place has exactly that. Some places make a dry version, some places make a very soupy version, this one is a thick nutty sauce. It is also not very spicy. Only if you like the version that I like, then you will enjoy it here. $8.99 is not a bad price for a big bowl. read more

Shanghai Fortune had the longest line at the food court, and they had fried pork buns which I was totally craving! Everything we got here was authentic and classic. THE WAIT: On the Monday before Christmas at lunch, there was a line here that took about 10-15 minutes. It was an additional 10-15 for our food to come out. MUST-HAVES: Pan-fried pork buns! THE FOOD: * Pan fried pork bun ($6.49) - 4.5 stars. Exactly what I was looking for! * Beef noodle ($8.99) - 3 stars. This was bland. * Wonton Soup ($4.79) - 4 stars. Classic, just like my mom makes. * Juicy pork bun ($5.99) - 4 stars. Good, also classic! read more

Wanted to have some lunch in this food court (in Crystal Mall) because I needed to do some shopping for some Asian groceries. My family member decided to get some pork soup dumplings, which was 6 for $5.49 which was a pretty decent deal especially since it tasted pretty awesome for what it was. The only thing that would've made it much better is if the sauce they gave us were more flavourful, but then again, it's all good since the dumpling's soup that comes out of it did taste pretty decent too. Anyways, definitely check this place out if you wanted to come to Crystal Mall for whatever reason. read more

I've been here a couple of times now. I come to Crystal Mall pretty frequently I guess and always seem to bypass this place....dunno why. Anyways, both times I ordered the fried rice, it comes with a soup, it was $8.75 so it was a pretty good deal. The rice was pretty good, maybe a bit on the bland side but pretty good, the soup was a vegetarian hot and sour both times, so I guess that is their standard soup as opposed to a daily soup some places have. It was pretty good as well. I'll probably try some of their other items on the menu, their dumplings seemed very popular........... read more

I got to try a couple items for lunch. We ordered the xiao long bao and fried Shanghai thick noodles. The xiao long bao was not as good as its main competitor in the food court. The dumplings did not have as much soup inside and two of them were broken and lost its soup before we even got around to eating them (bottom basket not seen in the photos). The quality was a bit disappointing. As expected, the dipping sauce did not have any slivers of ginger as this is the food court after all. The fried Shanghai thick noodles were better and tasted as expected. Portion size was good for the price and they packed it easily for you to take the leftovers home. The noodles were greasy goodness with a bit of veggies and pork. There is a deposit for the bamboo steam baskets and you get the money back once you return the baskets after your meal. I find a number of stalls at the food court have implemented this policy to get their clay pots and baskets returned. read more

This review is for Shanghai Fortune. No idea why they changed the title on me. Looks like a decent Shanghai place has popped up in the Crystal Mall food court. Rejoice. Parking is available in the circular underground mess of a parking lot below Crystall Mall. The place had literally just opened (grand opening) when I showed up, so the staff were quite unorganized. Hopefully they've ironed out the kinks by now. Only one way to find out if they're any good - order a pile of stuff. Xiaolongbao - 6 in a basket. Nice thin skin, with plenty of soup. Quite good. Tossed noodle with green onion and dried shrimp - not bad at all. Sauce is at the bottom. Gotta mix it up nice and well before eating. Saltiness is sufficient, but it was more bland (in terms of subtle flavours) than expected. Hot and sour soup - just like the takeout variety. That went down quickly. Food quality is definitely there. They have quite a bit of competition in the food court, but I'm sure they'll survive. read more

I've been visiting Crystal Mall a lot lately since they usually have the bases covered if I'm looking for Noodle Soup or Shanghai Food...and lo and behold they delivered again! I'm not sure if I've been blind, but only recently did I notice Shanghai Fortune Cuisine. I love Shanghai Food, so I've been kicking myself for not trying this out sooner. First off, I tried their House Special Beef Noodle (8.25). The broth was rich and beefy and the meat was tender, but damn those noodles were so overdone, you could gum them to death. I also got to try their Shanghai Noodles (7.99). These were much better in that they had a great chew, weren't overly sauced, and had a lot of flavour! Yea, they're pretty much a mouthful of oil...a delicious mouthful of oil that is. For sides, I started with some Pan Fried Pork Buns (5.49). The dough on these was on the thicker end, though they were crispy on the bottom and soft on top. They were incredibly juicy inside and the pork was very flavourful! Last, but not least, I tried their Fried Rice Cake (4.25). I have never seen this offered elsewhere so I thought I'd give this a go. It's essentially crispy and a bit salty on the outside while there's soft rice on the inside. It sounds so bland, but it's so amazing and tasty! Furthermore, it's one of the few fried things that I've tried here where it's not oily whatsoever! Overall, pretty decent Shanghai food! read more

A little background.. I am not a huge fan of bread or dough..but when it comes to asian baos (oh and donuts which has nothing to do with this post but I can always smile just typing that word) ok anyway back to baos.. that craving will always be in the pit of my tummy. I may not be able to finish a lot but damn that first bite or slurp always satisfies me. I am rarely in the burnaby area and even when I am I tend to only go Metrotown. Honestly i don't think i've gone to Crystal Mall in probably 4 years. Boyfriend loves xiao long baos and we knew there was a bomb place in the crystal mall food court so we got our nomnom on. Of course we got the xiao long baos which came with the vinegar dipping sauce. It's always a challenge to make sure you gently pick up the bao at the tip without ripping it so you get that mouth watering slurp of soup! These were made so well. The filling was a decent amount and the skin was not too thick. We also got the pork baos. I really liked these ones. Comparable to the ones at the lansdowne food court which i'll review one day too. But these were soft fresh and juicy! Also the fact that these are made fresh definitely adds to that home style feeling. If you guys are in the area or looking for a good quick place to get some juicy buns, for sure try this out! read more

The food isn't bad, but their service is slimy AF. They charge a $5 "deposit" for each of the bamboo steaming containers. If at any point you're distracted, one of their guys will rush over to TAKE the containers without giving back the deposit. Instead of enjoying the food, customers need to keep their guard up to prevent being ripped off. Good job ruining the experience. read more

Atmosphere: This is good court small eatery style with some seating but mostly a quick bite sort of deal. Price: very affordable. Customer Service: super friendly. Food: Boa was seriously amazing that I ordered some for lunch which doesn't happen often, therefore, this action speaks volumes. It's all in the seasoning which they clearly have a balance and understanding for. You wouldn't think that something inside Crystal Mall would be this good but this is truly one of those hidden gems, a term that I don't use lightly. Notes: This is a new place, therefore, if you haven't been to Crystal Mall in a while worth it is stop in. read more

Came here because I was super hungry and was craving one of my favourite XLBs. I ordered the xiao long bao and it was bomb. The skin was super thin, but did not break which is what I look for these baos. As well, the soup inside these baos were perfectly seasoned to my liking. I loved it! P.S. Tax is included in the price and cash only! I would definitely come agian! read more

I ok enough of our fav breakfast spots in crystal mall. The chive boxes/韭菜盒子 are really good, one of our favs. The pan-fried buns are also a must-try here. They're super crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with so much soup you'll wonder if it's a soup dumpling... or dumpling soup! read more

There was a huge crowd lining up for orders and pickup and most were ordering the pan fried pork buns. Their pan fried pork buns was very large and you get 5 for $5.49. The skin covering the bun was very thick and the pork tasted MSG free which could be a good thing for some people. There was also some soup inside the buns, so it was like eating a XLB. I liked how it was nicely pan fried with a golden brown colour, but I wished they put more effort on evenly sprinkling the chopped green onions. read more

This is one of the newer places at Crystal Mall. I've been here once before and found the food to be descent if not above average. The service was quick but inattentive (they forgot to pack up my food when I asked for take out). Recently came back for take out (too tired too cook), and ordered the dan dan noodles. Their version came with a thick broth, peanuts, and some dried shrimp bits. I'm not sure if it's authentic but taste-wise it was above average. However, it was too SALTY that I couldn't even finish. I'm not sure if it's a mistake they dumped a load of salt / MSG in my noodles, or they commit this atrocity to every dish. I ended up being so salty over the fact that the food was so salty. I might be back to try their dim sum, but the salty noodles are a definite no. read more

A short review because I've only been here once. Honestly, best xiaolongbao I've had, better than Dinesty by far. These soup dumplings actually have flavour in the broth and it is addicting. Most soup dumplings at other restaurants are small, no flavour, and pricey. This place is cheap, the broth has flavour, and he dumplings are bigger. Pork potstickers are also good. Not oily which is great, but not too special. It's located in the food court and a little hard to find but overall, I will be coming back soon. read more

We went here to grab lunch and had our meal togo. When we sat I noticed my meal was incorrect and when my partner went back to ask the workers about it, the older chinese guy in a white shirt just shewed him away. The food is decent. But customer service is obviously nothing the workers care much about read more

The place is located in Crystal Mall's food court. My friends and I came here for a quick lunch. From the outside, the place didn't look that impressive but we were surprisingly pleased how good the food was. I ordered a combo that included the Shanghai Juicy Pork Buns and fried tofu soup. Each order is made fresh and you can see the cook make the dumplings with each order. There's a bit of wait for the Shanghai Juicy Pork but it's well worth the wait. The dumplings were delicious and had the right amount of broth inside. I was expecting the fried tofu soup to be bland but it was surprisingly flavourful. I would definitely come back here again and reorder the Shanghai Juicy Pork dumplings. read more

I ordered the soup dumplings and their number3. The soup dumplings was juicy and it was just the right amount of meat inside. Their sauce for the dumplings was just right. Their number 3 was a thin Chinese pancake that is rolled up in meat and cucumber and it was good( I can't recall what's all inside). This place is in a food court. Don't expect good service. The food is definitely a 4 but the service was terrible. The girl was on her phone most of the time and she sounds rude to all the customers. And if u order the soup dumpling here you have to deposit $5 and they will return it back after u return their streaming dumpling basket. And exchange your money before going or they will charge u the same to U.S dollar. read more

First time trying this place out and I will definitely be returning! It's a hidden gem at Crystal Mall's food court with authentic and cheap Shanghainese hand made snacks and noodles! I got their famous pan-fried pork buns, Shanghai juicy pork buns, & fried Shanghai thick noodle (not shown) to share. Everything were very delicious and hot, and did I mentioned cheap?! It was only $19 altogether (they charged a $5.00 deposit fee for their steam basket which you can get refunded when you bring their steam basket back.) Both types of buns were a broth explosion party in your mouth. (It can be really hot & juicy so be careful!) I prefer the steam version more because the wrapper was more delicate. The fried buns were perfectly crisp at the bottom but overall too "doughy" for my liking. The noodles seemed just ok at first until I had my first bite the flavor tasted WAYYY better than the kind served in Asian restaurants. Both of us were so full with leftovers to brin home and it was only $19.00! You must check this place out the next time you're browsing in Crystal Mall! They were jam packed busy when I was there but the wait for the food was no longer than 15 minutes. So worth it! read more
