“ For our to-go lunch, we ordered pan fried meat buns, noodle with shredded beef, and noodle soup with pork and preserved cabbage. The total came out to be $38 after tax. We thought the lunch was really good. Our three year old son loved the meat bun! He can only eat two but he's pretty full afterwards! We loved the texture and the flavor of the bun! The noodle with shredded beef does not have soup (there is another version that contains soup). This is by far my favorite dish from the restaurant. The incredible heat and spice plus the noodles make a great combination. My wife loved her preserved cabbage noodle soup as well. Her only gripe was that she wished the noodle contained a bit more veggies. We'll definitely come back! ”

“ We were very pleasantly surprised by the food and the prices. We ordered mooshu chicken, Basil chicken, beef with broccoli and spring rolls. The entrees were all good! I wouldn't get the spring rolls again but they were worth a try :) We will be back ! ”

“ I feel like Shanghai Taste gets over shadowed by Bob's and other Asian restaurants on the pike. However, this place has been around for over a decade. Their soup dumplings are comparable to Bob's and on the weekends, they offer a bun-style soup dumpling. They have a lot more entree options than Bob's, but I don't think they have dim sum items. The restaurant has limited seating, but I recommend anyone to give this place a shot!! ”

“ We found this spot due to a Tik tok video and I can honestly say that it was worth it! The video referenced this place having some of the best soup dumplings in the DMV. This was my first time having soup dumplings but they are so good! The filling was amazing, the broth was tasty, the dough was perfect. I was a little hesitant about ordering food from the menu based on reviews but was happy pleasantly surprised! We got the pork Lo Mein and broccoli and garlic sauce and they were both extremely tasty. We got there as soon as they opened and I'm so glad we did! Although we were the first ones there, the place ended up being packed within 30 minutes of opening. It's a small space but they were able to accommodate everyone. The servers were very polite and informative of the menu. 10/10 would recommend ”

“ Found this place thanks to NOVA foodies FB group! The roast pork was packed!!! A nice flavor no carrots or peas but the plate was affordable and can last two days. Enjoyed their eggroll and the pan fried dumplings were packed. My mom ordered a combination rice noddle and it had a nice charred and crisp flavor to them. Again the portion was worth the price. Friendly service and it was a busy hole-in-wall. The people next to us ordered beef tendon in spicy sauce and I will def ordered that next time because it looked really good. ”

“ A very small Chinese restaurant my family and I have been going to for several years. It's In a small, run-down shopping strip with only a few stores next door. A bit of a turn off is that there's a veterinarian office next door. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and the restroom is for customers only. I've never seen mice or roaches but the restaurant doesn't appear very hygienic. The decor is outdated and would only recommend dining in for small parties (5 people or less). The food overall though is really delicious and affordable. They're known for their soup dumplings (Xiao long bao) and other northern Chinese dishes. It's a decent variety of food and I really enjoy it. Service is excellent as well. Their kitchen is pretty fast and the waiters/waitresses try to take your order as soon as you're ready. They clean off tables as soon as you leave for other customers to be seated. My family and I were fortunate enough to have gone during a slow time so we were the only diners. I would say this is a great option for carry-out. ”
