Shanghai House

(107 Reviews)

Chinese Restaurant in San Francisco

Dry fry chicken wings are loaded with a thick garlic pepper sauce and still stay crunchy. Must order.

Xiao Long Bao and Kung Pao are the best I've had in SF. Everything tastes like it came straight from Shanghai. For a person who used to live in Shanghai for 7 years, this is my favorite place.

Ask for the Chinese menu to get the real authentic stuff. Decor sucks but food is spectacular (4 of 4 petals via Fondu)

Best hidden tea pot dumpling in town if you're lucky enough to find one in there!

Try the dry fried prawns (sweet/spicy heaven) and the stringbeans- soooo delish.

Charles Phan, chef of The Slanted Door, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Pickled vegetable & shredded pork soup.

STEAMED SOUP DUMPLINGS SO GOOD. Best I've ever had. Everything is delicious here. Green onion pancakes, jellyfish, zha jiang mian

Limited seating, make sure you enter your name on the sheet inside. Bring cash too since credit card isn’t accepted.

Chicken Wings are not to be missed. Pan fried dumplings and green beans also stand out.

The delicious xiao long bao and Shanghainese specialities more than make up for the very grumpy owner.
