The store reopened after years of COVID lockdown. However now they function more akin to a self serve fast food instead of a restaurant. The menu has shrunk significantly but the Shanghai style dimsum still is great.
They’ve gone to take-out only with a very limited menu since the pandemic.
I had the 小笼包 and 生煎包 and both reminded me of old days in China. Probably the best 包 outside of Vancouver that I've had in Canada. I will come back next time to try other dishes and see how they are.
This is a no frills Shanghai restaurant. Dont expect anything fancy. But in return, cheap prices and nice greasy Shanghai food that will hit the spot. The 4 stars is for the price points that havent changed,I feel, for like 10 years
I didn't realize the menu has changed. I miss the old menu. Now it's the same as the downtown location Juicy Dumpling. We ordered and sat right down and everything was warm, I don't think they steamed it fresh for us. The spicy shrimp wontons had no spice at all. Tasted more like soy sauce and vinegar. If I had a choice I'd rather go to the downtown location.
None of the workers were masked up when I came to pick it up so it gave me anxiety before I even enjoyed the food. Food was cold and the portions got way smaller but more expensive. Won’t be visiting again.
Your coming here for the food. Straight forward, no frills.
I always stopped by Juicy Dumplings when I’m in China town as I love their San Jing Bao, not long ago, I realized Shanghai Dimsum in Richmond Hill is actually the same store as Juicy Dumplings. This restaurant in Richmond Hill has been around for a long time and it’s known for the good price and good taste. They used to open for breakfast with good variety at unbeatable price, but they closed the store for several months during pandemic and now their operating hour is from 11am onwards. They no longer offer a full menu, they now has limited choices but most of my favorites are there so I am good. Price is slightly higher than the downtown branch but taste is consistent. Do not order their onion pancake because they deep fried it and it is very greasy.
P3 Pan Fried Juicy Buns (Pork) (pictured bottom) is delicious.
One of the best and inexpensive Xiao Long Boa and Sheng Jian Bao in GTA. Highly recommend it.
