Careful on first bite. Small nibble to suck the soup out, a big bite will burn you. Remember to add vinegar and chilli if you like. Long lines but worth it. I have not found anything close to the taste in China. Must try! Tip: most likely you wont find a seat. Get it to go, and bring it to... More

You can get really cheap and super good Chinese dumplings here, the ones in fancy restaurants are good, but these are more real! Plus you get to watch them make them super fast, it's crazy!

The original was in west nanjing road, but now there are locations everywhere. A delicious, cheap option in a city where prices are always going up for good quality food

The pan-friend buns are delicious. Very good value at 6 RMB for 4 buns. Make sure you let the buns rest for sufficient time before taking a bite!

Very authentic, juicy inside and crunchy on the skin. Value for money, go to the shop in the city, the best one. Expected to line up for a while and bring bring your wet towels, no service and need to fight for seats.

Although the dumplings are ok, but the greasiness/cleanliness and the noise made me uncomfortable.
