The food is too salty and oily for my family and I. My parents blood pressure increased significantly after eating here because of the high salt. The quality of the food is mediocre. The bathroom is decent, not extremely disgusting like the ones in Chinatown. Restaurant is quiet, no loud music playing. Only street parking. It’s a hit or miss to find parking.

Dumplings were all excellent - waiter recommended the pea sprouts which were delicious. Wonton soup was a little too salty and I've had better green onion pancakes but overall very nice meal!

The food is amazing and the service is excellent! We had the sweet and sour chicken, the pork soup dumplings, and lamb potstickers. I would highly recommend any of these dishes, but also any others on the menu. Every dish he brought out to other tables had me wondering why I didn’t order that too!

Was visiting the area and wanted some dumplings but no car, so I ordered for delivery . They traveled well and were very tasty would definitely get them again

It was super basic. I wished they put more love into their food because it wasn't bad it just wasn't great. We had soup dumplings, pea shoots, green onion pancake, shrimp pot stickers. All about on the same par. Good tea though.

This place is our go-to while my boys are in town from school. The people that run it are so nice so friendly. Food comes out fast hot and delicious. Many good dishes. The Dan Dan noodle dish is my sons favorite!

If I could I would give minus stars. I’ve been to so many dumplings places. This place is so bad that it broke my imagination! I had three pork dumplings and all three have a big chunk of meat that’s not chewable and tastes super gross.When I told the waiter about this, he dismissed me like” this is what you got”.Run away from this place!

Came here on an overcast Sunday, it was pretty empty but it seems more like a takeout type of spot. Customer service was great, we started off with some hot tea, Thai tea and green beans which were perfectly crunchy and garlicky. We then got the spicy pork dumplings and pan fried pork buns.It was all great, not greasy. Glad I found this new local spot for dim sun ??Parking: Lots of street parking in front of restaurant, or at Safeway parking lot.

Big fan, but order what they excel at: they have an extensive menu. Love their dumplings - soup, wonton, spicy, pork, lamb. I always ordered a bunch of veggies, notably the bean sprouts, bok Choi and eggplant; veggie mapo tofu is a nice addition also. Noodles: I go Dan Dan, they don't seem to be wok heavy in cooking so fried rice and stir fry I stay away from. Would never order general Tso's or anything like that - it's not an American Chinese restaurant, don't expect them to make sweet and sour chicken. Ask what you would enjoy and they'll give you suggestions, sometimes they'll push one more dish, but if you joke around with them they'll bring out some treats.

Everyone in my house loves Shanghai dumpling king! Plenty of food for a great price. We always end up with leftovers and ordering too many dishes. Eggplant, buns, chicken and beef dishes and the fried rice are the go to. Love trying new dishes from here!

food was super good!! me and my boyfriend came here for the first time after hearing great things about the food from his boss and were not disappointed. we ordered the shanghai noodles, very good and came out super hot, chive and pork dumplings (these were our personal favorites), shanghai soup dumplings, and spicy wontons. Service was really good, the man who helped us reccomended the green beans and these were soooo yummy, would go back just for these !!

Awesome dumplings to go! The spicy wonton ones were most popular and we delicious. One serving fills you up and the flavor is very unique. The peanut tone helped with that. Will ask for some spicy red next time.
