Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone.

Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

XLB here are the best ive had. Better than bobs shanghai in MD by miles and better than the huge xlb place in flushing. Soft skin dumpling skin (even the crimp at the top is soft so you know its fresh skins) and the soup was deeply flavored and good ratio. Def am coming back. Edit: I wasnt even intending to come here, I was trying to get jajangmyeon but I passed this otw and thought id rather have xlb now, im glad I did. Reminder to everyone, sometimes you just gotta try new and expected places and not to hard stick to itineraries...you may be pleasantly surprised!

Very good sticky rice siumai. Soup dumplings were good too, flavorful broth and skin wasn't too thick. Pan fried pork buns had more meat and less dough than Soup Dumplings Plus. Fried udon was a bit mushy but very flavorful. Fried rice cake could use more flavor.

We went in not really knowing what to expect, but overall it turned out to be a pretty good experience. The food was definitely the highlight. The appetizers really stood out—especially the Peking duck buns and the spicy pork wontons with that peanut/chili sauce. Those were excellent. The soup dumplings were something new for us, and honestly, they were very well done—good flavor, not overpowering, and something I’d definitely order again. The beef fried rice was solid too. Where it fell a little short for me was with some of the main dishes. The eggplant with garlic had good texture and spice, but it leaned too sweet, and the garlic flavor didn’t really come through as much as I expected. The General Tso’s was less spicy and more on the sweet side than I’m used to. Both dishes left a sugary aftertaste. Service was okay—more functional than warm. There was a bit of a language gap at times, but they did try to help. Honestly, the food itself felt very authentic—especially the dumplings and wontons—which is what mattered most. The area itself was surprisingly nice—quiet streets, and easy parking on the back streets, which was a pleasant surprise given how close it is to New York. Ove

Old Shanghai Soup Dumplings is a true standout in Palisades Park. The soup dumplings are absolutely outstanding - rich, flavorful broth, perfectly thin wrappers, and that satisfying burst of warmth with every bite. They’re easily some of the best I’ve had. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. From quick service to thoughtful check-ins, they make you feel genuinely cared for. If you love soup dumplings or just want a delicious, comforting meal with great hospitality, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning.

This authentic Chinese restaurant serves Shanghai cuisine and it is located in the heart of NJ Korean town. I have been here many times and all the dishes I tried were delicious. They have lunch specials on weekdays that come with hot and sour soup. The soup dumplings are must try. They are always busy but turnover is pretty quick so don’t have to wait for a long time.
