Shanghai 21 offers a delightful taste of Shanghainese cuisine in a casual and cozy atmosphere. I visited for lunch, and despite a 20-minute wait, it was well worth it! 🌟
We started with the house special soup dumplings, which were pure bliss, bursting with flavor. The scallion pancakes were crispy perfection! The menu has a variety of options, making it easy to please any palate.
Quick service plus a fantastic tea selection made our meal even better. Just be prepared for a bustling crowd - definitely a hotspot for locals and tourists alike! 🍜 Would love to return...!
