During our visit to Chinatown, we searched the internet for a good restaurant and came across Shanghai 21. The restaurant was... quite small, which is why a table was not immediately available. But the wait was definitely worth it. So small the restaurant,so great the selection on the menu. We had the tangerine beef and the jumbo shrimp with fruit sauce (my personal tip), as wellas various dumplings. It was just delicious and the prices are moderate. Read more

Delicious! Was prepared for a 45+ minute wait but we got a table within 5 minutes. Service was fast and food came out hot and... fresh. Everything tasted amazing. Loved the soup dumplings, pan fried pork dumplings and the Shanghai style lo mein. Highquality at a good price. Read more

Went here on July 4th weekend. We picked this place because of the rating and were not disappointed. It was a 45 min wait and... most people left when they heard that. We did not and then it wasn't 45 min really about 20min. just stay and wait because it'swell worth it . Very reasonable prices for mountains of food. I had the Fish over rice and it was fantastic! Everything we hadwas beyond great - Soup dumplings are insanely good. We also had the fired porkchops dish with soup noodles. Fried pork chopsare worth an hour or so wait and the bill for 3 of us in NYC $45. go here - leave a like if I was right. Which I am. Top 10Chinese food places I have ever been to. Can't wait to go back! Read more

Stopped by for a quick dinner while visiting Chinatown on a Friday night. Came early around 5p, before it got crowded, so only... had about a 5 minute wait for a table. There's only about 10-15 tables, so it fills up fast, but the service keeps the flowmoving. Immediately upon sitting down, server came over with water and ready to take any appetizer order. It was a cold, rainyday so ordered a hot pot of tea and some soup dumplings to start. Dumplings were amazing. Did a quick check to make sure thesoup wasn't too hot and ate them whole. For the meal, ordered the pan fried noodles and crispy duck. Both came out within 10minutes and were obviously freshly made. Pan fried noodles were nice and crispy, then slowly became softer as it mixed with thesauce. The duck was cooked perfectly and not too oily as duck often is. Both dishes were outstanding. Everything from theappetizers and meals were very authentic. I've been to other Chinese restaurants while visiting Chinatown and this is one ofthe best. Great food and service. I recommend coming early to beat the rush. Read more
