This new spot serves excellent, authentic soup dumplings (Xiao long Bao), red oil wontons, pan fried pork buns, and all kinds of dumplings. You can watch the ladies make them fresh in the window at the front. The crab and pork xiao long bao reminded me of the ones in Asia. Don't miss the authentic Jiu3 Niang2 sweet rice soup dessert. Service was good the day we went. Minus one star for the prices (quantity is not much for what you get for the price compared with other similar places) and for the fact they don't offer takeout yet (hopefully soon). read more

Shengjianbao is the best I had in Dallas. Juicy and crispy. Vegetable wonton and scallion chicken is subpar. Xiaolong bao, stir fry niangao and smoked fish are authentic. read more

Doordash recommendation. Surprised by the quality of take out. Plan to visit in person soon!

Shanghai Taste - Shanghainese Near Me - Plano, Texas

We like the Xiao Long Bao, Shanghai Rice Cake, and Sheng Jian Bao! We have been living in Shanghai before. Their Sheng Jian Bao is the one that tastes authentic! read more

LOVE this place!! Great service, great food, and great prices. Love the atmosphere as well. Highly recommend any of the soup dumplings and the cucumber salad if available (it is on special menu). read more

Great dumplings, great service, great prices! I would highly recommend to anyone in the Plano area.

I am wonderstruck by this delightful restaurant. From the ambiance to the food, this establishment is top notch. In addition, the service is great; our server was attentive and kind. I would sell my first born baby for another dumpling. Good thing they're available for $10.95. Hallelujah! read more

Great place to try new foods! Love the dumplings! Try the chocolate dumplings! Clean restaurant and they have a glass viewing window to watch the chefs work! read more

Best Chinese restaurant I've had in Dallas in a long time! It's comparable to my favorite NYC Chinese spots. They have the best xiao long bao in Dallas & the Sheng jian actually has a ton of soup! Other favorites were the Shanghai rice cakes & brown sugar rice cakes. I'll definitely be back & order everything again but the fried chicken. read more

Food is delicious! Friendly staff. Will definitely go back. I hope they start doing to go also but I think its because they just opened. Highly recommended!! read more

Just went there for lunch with the fam. YUM! Had the: 1) Smoked Fish special (cross-cut slabs of unboned fish pan fried with a sweet & savory "hoisin"-type sauce - only 2nd time my 19 y/o's liked fish and 1st time for my 21 y/o since fish sticks as toddlers), 2) Shanghainese Fried Rice with Pork (delish, almost like sticky rice), 3) Curry Beef with Rice Noodle Soup (good), and 4) Traditional Shanghai Juicy Pork Steamed Dumplings (yum). Only complaint is serving sizes (except for the dumplings) were on the smaller end. Very small dining room (~10 small. tightly-packed tables) so be prepared to wait. We waited ~30 min for 4 at ~12:30 pm on a Sunday). Restroom was the cleanest, fanciest and most high tech - BY FAR - for a small, authentic Asian restaurant and above average even for nice western restaurants. Waitlist, ordering and payment processes were high tech also (kiosk check-in, text alerts, real-time website status (with # of tables ahead), and tablet payments). Host took our order while we waited to speed up the process. Can watch dumplings being made right next to waiting area. FYI, I'm an ARC (American Raised Chinese) since 7 y/o but fam had a Chinese restaurant growing up and have regularly patronized all types of restaurants (incl. American, Italian, Mexican, TexMex, Americanized Chinese, Cantonese, Sichuan, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Japanese and Indian) for over 5 decades) in several U.S. and Asian cities. read more

Glad this Shanghai restaurant is finally opened! Tried couple dishes and they were quite authentic. Highly recommended! read more

Delicious food, and fast service. Definitely recommend checking out this spot. My favorite dish was the fried dumplings. I could eat those alone and be satisfied! read more

3.5 stars overall. The best dish was the fried chicken. XLB was disappointing, dough was too thick on the top, funky pork taste, lack of ginger sauce, not as delicate as it should be. I had high hopes upon seeing the workers making them fresh when I walked in the restaurant, so maybe I set my expectations too high. This restaurant is very small so be prepared to wait. Service was good, the waitress was super friendly, but one guy was a bit rude. He told us we could only order once, no second round because they want to turn the table quickly. He also politely kicked us out at 4:45pm saying they need to rest after we paid. I thought that was odd, not like we were ordering more food or demanding refills. I get it that they have plenty of customers since it's brand new and everyone wants to try this place, but to ask customers to leave was not a smart move to retain a loyal customer base for longevity. read more

Just opened in Plano. The staff was super kind and told me a couple favorite items on the menu to try. The food came out super quick and the food was great! I had the pan fried soup dumplings and a pork wonton soup. Definitely worth the wait! read more

Shanghai Taste - Shanghainese Near Me - Plano, Texas

The food was good but one thing made this a one star - the dessert. I once came here and got the chocolate dumpling and it was great, came again and it was a completely different dessert. They used banana and Nutella in the dumpling and this was not in the menu whatsoever. I am seriously allergic to nuts, and this was a very unpleasant experience. Waiters didn't even know that Nutella had nuts in it and were very unapologetic. Not a good experience for me. read more

all of the food was so fresh and tasty! my favorites were the scallion pancake, the shanghai nian gao, and the veggie dumplings. my family enjoyed the sheng jian bao, soup dumplings, and smoked fish. we also ordered vegetable dishes that were very refreshing. I'm excited to come back and bring my boyfriend to try everything! read more

our first time here and worth it! juicy pork and beef dumplings, love it!!! noodle scallion oil, simple but tasty . very good service and family friendly restaurant. read more

The service was absolutely the best, and the food was even better! It was also very clean! One of the best restaurants to go to!

Wonderful and freshly made when ordered soup dumplings( xiao long bao) , Chinese doughnuts, tasty ribs and great wonton soup. They open early at 9 am! Nothing like soup dumplings (xiao long bao) for breakfast! read more

The place is small but cozy and clean. Food is good and service is fine. The only complaint I have is that their tip option is defaulted at 20% min unless you select "custom". read more

I went to try this new spot today, and it was amazing! The place is newly opened and very busy, so be prepared to wait. Both the Xiao Long Bao and pan-fried buns had the same delicious pork filling, with plenty of hot broth inside. The cutlets were also crispy on the outside and tender inside. I saw the news said the chef, who's been nominated for a James Beard award, came from Las Vegas, and it really shows in the quality. Definitely the best Shanghainese food I've had in Dallas. Can't wait to come back! read more

The food here is so good! I've loved every dish I've tried. The scallion noodles are by far my favorite.

The Las Vegas location is very well known and highly regarded. Food is great. IMO the best soup dumplings and fried buns in DFW hands down. Only negative is the place is very small and cramped and there will be a wait during peak times. Staff is very nice though. read more

Food is always great and will definitely be back soon. There can be a long wait but it's definitely worth it.

One of the worst so called "Shanghai" cuisine I have ever tasted! Fried rice is basically an over soy-sauce with rice. The dumpling is sub-standard. Any cooked meat is overcooked and tough to chew. This place is not a professional run for sure! read more

When's the lunch here with my friend? Had a great experience. The food was amazing highly recommend the rib ribs and the soup dumplings.

Delicious food. Wish they had some veggies and the food was a little salty. But overall very good flavors.

Food was a 5 overall . Service was terrible. 0 on Ambiance . They need to be way more organized .

Delicious food! Soup dumplings were flavorful and full of soup. New space kinda small but not bad. Service was good.

The food presented delightfully well, and tasted good too. Portion is small, a little bit of snack bar nature. The waiter added 20+ % tip automatically for 3 of us without asking which was a surprise, it that a practice now ? read more

Food was ok, could taste a bit better. The only thing that caught me was the lack of service. They would not pick up their menu once you picked what you wanted unless you got their attention. They also took a long time to realize my water cup was empty as well which most restaurants should check periodically. They were very rushed and busy and did not have a lot of time to check in with their customers. read more

Today, October 29th, we went here for lunch. Because it was the first time we went there and we didn't know much about the menu, the waiter told us in a bad tone, "He is very BUSY, so we need to order all the essentials at once. We can't order more later" which immediately made us very stressed. The food was okay, but the waiter's attitude was very bad! I hope the management can improve this issue. read more

delicious food, very authentic!! xiao long bao are an absolute must! the service was great and staff is friendly.

we ate at this great restaurant on opening day and found it to be delicious. The Chinese pancakes were crispy and exactly the right temperature. We loved the shrimp crispy and nice delicious dumplings and the barbecue ribs were really good but don't miss the chocolate dumplings. They were awesome service was perfect, and the place is scrupulously clean and beautiful read more
