This dumpling spot in Pacific Mall is a super-solid choice. It’s one of the few places that tug at my heartstrings, especially when I see the old ladies making dumplings during quieter times. It reminds me so much of my time living in China. That nostalgic feeling is so strong that I’d be happy even if they just served me a cup of water. The dumplings here bring back all those good memories. The Shanghai Shaomai is my favorite, striking the perfect balance between juicy and meaty. The texture is just right, not too chewy, dense, or tender. It hits the sweet spot every time, providing a comforting, home-like experience even though I’m not Chinese. How many restaurants can create such magic? This place does, and it’s a gem.

Great, authentic Shanghai cuisine! Savoring a hearty wonton soup paired with meaty Shaomai is the ultimate experience for chilly winter days. The shop is located on the second floor inside heritage town - took me a while to find it, but it’s absolutely worth the effort.

Hidden gem in the Pacific Mall food court with authentic Shanghainese shao mai + Nanjing duck soup that reminds us of home. Service was great, food was delicious, we will be back!
