Shanghainese Restaurants in Queens, NY

“I like Zheli very much. I have been to the Manhattan branch before, and this time I went to eat again in Flushing. The environment, dishes, and especially the service are all very good. Their waiter Ryan is very friendly and helps recommend dishes without any mistakes. I will come again next time.“

“Today, my niece made an appointment with us at Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao, which originally opened on Prince Street in Flushing, New York. We ordered two cages of Xiao Long Bao (six pieces), radish shortbread (four pieces), and chicken and shrimp shumai (four pieces). Unexpectedly, The portions are so generous and bigger than expected. It’s really worth it.“

“Jiang Nan was largely the same amazing food quality as the one in Boston. Atmosphere and service were exceptional. The staff were gracious with accompanying a medium-sized group without a reservation and they provided great care when taking care of us.“

“We came here for the iconic $2.50 peking duck buns and we’re not disappointed at all! The chefs slice up succulent pieces of duck and stuff them into fluffy steamed buns with scallions. They’re a little heavy on the sauce that they add but overall it’s enjoyable. We ate these on the side of the street since they didn’t have any seating or tables by their take out counter.“

“My family and I have been coming here for a few years now and it's in our rotation of Saturday family lunch spots. Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings: My favorite soup dumplings! The skin is nice and thin (!!) and the filling is flavorful. Served with vinegar and ginger. Sauteed Strings Beans: I don't know how they make them but these beans are crispy and crunchy and bright green--beautiful. Eggplant w. Garlic Sauce: My gawd this is my favorite dish ever--have it with white rice and it is just *chef's kiss*. It is on the oily side but it's less oily than other places. Come out PIPING HOT and the eggplant is soft but not mushy. Yummm Crispy Whole Yellow Fish w. Chili Sauce: Something new that we tried but honestly very good and would get it again. It isn't too spicy, maybe just a lil kick. Fish is nice and crispy and fresh (not fishy tasting). Sauce also goes well with white rice. We're regulars here so the staff knows us and chit chats with us (Canto/Mando) but I have overheard them with other customers and they are equally as friendly. The space is better for smaller groups (4 people) but I have definitely seen them accommodate for groups of 10 or so.“

“Ordered in last night and the food was really great. Honestly I don't know how they were able to deliver the soup dumplings so hot. Those usually don't travel well, but these were hot and light & delicious. Chicken and eggplant were also hot and fresh and tasty. Special fried rice, scallion pancake and dumplings in peanut sauce were great as well. The best part was no MSG as I often get a headache from that. Friendly delivery person as well!“
