How we read reviews →Hawthorn East dumpling specialist serving Shanghainese xiaolongbao that beats Chinatown's best.
Small, newly renovated dumpling workshop with an open, made-to-order feel; regulars describe tables of Shanghainese locals chatting over lunch, evoking a genuine Shanghai eatery.
House-made dumplings cooked to order (around a 15-minute wait), frozen takeaway packs of Shanghainese dishes to cook at home, and Black Berkshire pork used across the menu.
Multiple Shanghainese reviewers, including a self-identified Shanghai local, vouch for the dishes as tasting genuinely like home-style Shanghai cooking.
Reviewers are split. most call the quality worth it, but several note it's pricier than a typical Chinatown dumpling spot for the portion size.
