Soooo good. Not sure I would say this is a dim sum place, but their dumplings are legit amazing. Their non-dumplings like the pork ribs and soups are also very good. One of the better scallion pancakes we've had. read more

The pork soup dumplings are too sweet, actually...this is the only taste in them...not impressed. DTF or wu wei ding have way better dumplings... The cold ck dish is average, you can make it at home btw. The stir fry noodles with pork is also average with too much oil in it! My husband's stomach felt weird after eating them! Overall service is lacking, portion is small like appetizers size. I won't recommend it. You can skip it if you are looking for something like Wu wei ding. read more

Hubby read about this place and decided to take me here for lunch as a surprise. This is such a cute place, they are small but they turn over the tables very quickly so it's not too long of a wait...and yes, there were A LOT of people here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Now on to the food - we ordered a lot because we were hungry but also had FOMO . The traditional soup dumplings were by far the best, in fact, better than anywhere else. The pan fried soup dumplings were also very good, lots of soup inside but the bottoms were still very crispy. The wontons in chili oil has a kind of numbing and vinegar-y (tangy) taste, in a GOOD way. I liked it more the more I ate it. We also ordered the sweet and sour pork ribs, they aren't the sweet and sour you traditionally think of - more like Vietnamese caramelized pork ribs if you know what that tastes like. It was a good addition to the fried rice. The chocolate dumplings were good and had bananas inside which I liked. The only thing that we ordered and did not love was the scallion pancakes, they were a little too oily but everything else more than made up for it. We will definitely be back, maybe at a less busy time. The service was impeccable, we never had to ask for refills or anything, there was always someone around to check on us. read more

Wow, so fresh! They have a window so you can see them creating fresh dumplings. I usually have to dip mine in a sauce to give it some flavor, but these fresh dumplings needed nothing. The filling was flavorful and moist. Will be returning. read more

Horrible, disgusting, dirty restaurant with inedible food. I don't know how this place could have had good reviews, I don't buy that. Our experience was so bad, the food was so bad, that we left one-third of the way through and went someplace else. There is nothing redeeming here. read more

Shanghai Taste is a fantastic new addition to the DFW dining scene, and it's an expansion from the well-known Vegas location by Jimmy Li. First impressions: The restaurant is located across from Mitsuwa off 75. The space is long and narrow, with most tables set for 2-4 people. Larger groups might need to wait for tables to be combined, so plan accordingly during peak hours. One standout detail? The staff--super friendly and impressively stylish (I couldn't help but notice and had to give them a shoutout). Now, onto the food: Overall, the food is excellent, and I'll definitely be back. While my rating is a little critical, it's only because this place sets a high bar. * Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao): One of the best in Dallas so far. The skin is perfectly thin, and there's a generous amount of soup inside. Bonus: Like Din Tai Fung, they have a glass window where you can watch the dumplings being made--a big hit with the kids. * Shanghai Rice Cakes: Chewy and enjoyable, but a bit on the sweeter side for my taste. It seems they use the same sauce for the Shanghai noodles. * Smoked Fish: Though I didn't order it this time, I've tried it before, and it's delicious. Be prepared--it's bony, so it takes a bit of work to eat, but it's worth it. * Sheng Jian Bao (Pan-Fried Soup Bao): A family favorite! Similar to soup dumplings but encased in a bao with a crispy, pan-fried bottom. Be careful not to lose the soup with your first bite. A must-try. * Scallion Noodles: A simple but satisfying dish. Our kids loved it. It's a bit oily, but the flavor is spot on. * Crispy Shrimp: This dish was a pleasant surprise! Crispy deep-fried shrimp with a sweet sauce on top. You can eat the whole shrimp, shell and all, which gives it a chip-like crunch. Highly recommend. * Spicy Wontons: A solid dish with a mala (numbing spice) kick. While we still prefer Wu Wei Din's version, this one stands out for its unique flavor profile. * Chinese Broccoli: Cooked well but slightly too salty for our liking. Overall thoughts: Shanghai Taste is solid, and I'll definitely be making more trips here to try other dishes. Great food, friendly staff, and a fun dining experience for the whole family. read more

I'd love the shake the chefs hand. Brings back childhood memories with each and every dumpling. The food and atmosphere was amazing.

Quality is top notch. Prices are a tad high (for Chinese food) but worth it. One of the dumpling chefs came from Houston... my parents were delighted to see him again when he resurfaced. Go support local! Restaurant itself is small but they're pretty efficient and responsive. read more

I have not seen 生煎包 （pan-fried soup dumpling) in Dallas before. It's our favorite. Xiao Long Bao here is the closest to the authentic ones in Shanghai. We come here every other week. There's always a waitlist during weekends. read more

Quite a small restaurant, so limited seating. They were able to seat 5 of us with a short wait on Saturday brunch time. The food was mediocre, I didn't find anything extremely flavorful. The dumplings were well packed and the veggies tasted fresh. Would possibly come back to try again for their wonton soups. read more

Hmmm. It's not quite 4 stars but closer to a 4 than 3. Service is non existent. Don't expect to be greeted, get any explanation of their menu (they have an English translation), and the dining tables are all squished together in a small space. We were seated right next to another party of two and we were so close to one another that our elbows were touching when we moved just a little bit. Food was brought out pretty fast, the soup was not quite tasty (thankfully not salty or too greasy), the dim sum were decent. But give the fact that many locals came here to dine means the food must be worth the wait and sitting uncomfortably until you are done with your meal. Definitely not a place to come to have a nice family and group dinner and enjoy your meal in peace and quiet. But a great place to grab a bite and leave quickly. read more

Overrated by Instagram women who value clicks and consensus. Lesser quality dough wrapper for Xiao Long Bao (objectively too thick) than Carrollton's hidden gem Han's Noodles and longtime soup dumpling stalwart Wu Wei Din. Shen Jian Bao was served deflated but was not overly juicy the way many other DFW restaurants prepare them. The savory Chao Nian Gao, often overlooked in the Metroplex but common at West Coast Shanghainese restaurants, was springy but strangely sweet. Scallion pancakes were greasy and uninspired. Desserts were abominable: if you were expecting a bowl of authentic black sesame balls in rice wine, then prepare to be disappointed by four tiny fried donuts with cloying brown sugar paste inside. read more

love this place! my favorites are the pan fried soup dumplings and the rice cakes and the chocolate dumplings!!

This was a small restaurant that was clean and nicely decorated. The service was mediocre but expected among Chinese restaurants. I felt that all the noodle dishes that this place served were not good at all. However, there are some exceptional dishes here like sheng jian, juicy steamed pork dumpings (XLB), soy sauce marinated duck and marinated fish which were exceptionally good, among the best I've tried in my life, so I do like this place and wished that their prices were cheaper and they have more seats, but for the taste and quality of the food, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone, especially the dishes that I highlighted earlier. read more

Hubby and I both grew up with Shanghainese food. When Shanghai Taste was first opened, it was on our list to try. We went on a Friday night, arrived around 7:30pm and waited for about 20 minutes before sitting down. It was a small space . Tables are set very close to each other and felt like a communal dining experience. We ordered 1) Xiao Long Bao, 2) Pan fried buns, 3) sweet and sour ribs, 4) Fried tofu and vermicelli soup. Total $50 including tax and tip. The food came out pretty fast but the quality was underwhelming across the board. 1) XLB has a lot of juice, but after sucking out the juice, a lonely and tough little meatball was the only thing lefty in the filling. 2) Pan-fries buns had the same problem plus more. The bottom the pan-fried bun was very thick and crunchy, making it hard to eat. 3) Sweet sour ribs were OK. 4) Fried tofu and vermicelli soup was the very basic version, good portion size. The server offered us $10 off coupon for the next visit if we would show him a 5-star Google review about the restaurant. We left with our take up the offer. I will not go back. There are a of local restaurants having better Shanghai food. read more
