Shanghainese Restaurants near San Ramon, CA

“非常吃！我会回来!Authentic, handmade dumplings. The vegetarian steamed dumplings are superb -- top-notch ingredients, truly special, with wonderful mushrooms. They make the only vegetable chow mein I ever liked -- wonderful. The beef rolls are tasty, fun, and filling. The staff is always kind -- we feel welcome and go often.“

“I Shanghai offers a delightful dining experience with its flavorful dishes, including the aromatic 桂花藕片 (sweet lotus root with sticky rice) and the savory 蟹粉狮子头 (meet ball with crab in a soup). The diced bean curd with MaLan is a delightful combination of textures and flavors that leave a lasting impression. However, the sautéed shredded eel falls short of expectations, as the eel lacks tenderness, resembling rubber in texture... While the sweet and sour pork ribs provide a satisfying start, inconsistency in the fat content of some ribs detracts from the overall enjoyment.Overall it's a great authentic Shanghai restaurant!!“

“Super fancy Chinese restaurant. Service was ok, we had to call the waiter over to order. The restaurant was not even super busy. They did however checked on us quite often during our meal. The food was pretty good but really heavy. Their dumplings are very different from traditional dumplings. It is way more juicier and kind of tastes like it's filled with bone marrow or some sort of fat, which we like but definitely into a food coma afterwards. Dandan noodles were really good. Caution: there is a good amount of the numbing pepper. The XLB was decent with good filings and soup. The dumplings had a really good crust at the bottom and was decent size. Most likely will get that again when we come back.“
