Shanghai Zhen Gong Fu

A no frills Chinese soup dumpling restaurant. Menu size and prices hint that it should be one of the better soup dumpling restaurants, but experience screams budget. Ordered standard pork soup dumpling, Pan fried dumplings, Shanghai lo-mein, these are standard items available at all soup dumpling restaurants. Pork soup dumpling was disappointment. The filling was loose and offered no bite texture to complement the wrapper. Pan fried dumpling very mediocre. Filling was slightly firmer, but skin was not crispy at all. Lo-mein didn't have much flavor, only impression I had was oily. The bill was 31(tax included), not terribly pricey or cheap, but the food was very disappointing. Not really bad, but disappointing given the current 4.5 rating. Given the high rating and the plain decor, I had expectations that it would compare to Yu garden or Nanxiang in food quality, but definitely no

yesterday i order some food Spring roll is too overdone。 we just throw away .

Love their pork soup buns and fried dumplings. Pretty much everything we order is delicious. Friendly staff and all local diners. They have a couple of parking spots behind the restaurant as well.

The food is delicious and the wait staff are the friendliest people I’ve ever met. But the best indicator of authentic and scrumptious Chinese food is to observe the ethnicity of your fellow diners: more than 75% were Chinese, every time we were there. The owners are gracious and kind. We’re definitely going back!!!

A must try: Shanghai style rice! With beef, chicken or any meat you liked. I'm a simple girl when it comes to try new things, but they do have a lot of different dishes. Their dumplings fried and steam were delicious too!

This is my favorite NYC Chinese. It’s amazing. Best scallion pancakes, ribs, truffle soup dumplings. They are so so nice, they put up decorations when it was my friends bday and we didn’t even ask. There’s even a parking lot out back. Best food ever and reasonably Priced!

Love this place and the food is amazing
