We first found Shanghai’s Best on Yelp and immediately thought that we had to try. Pan fried dumplings, if done correctly, is flavortown. What makes a good pan fried dumpling? Crispy and crunchy bottom, juicy meaty filling, and a soft/chewy skin. Shanghai’s Best passed with flying colors. Juice?!? Take a look for yourself:

 

 

 

Amazing dumplings are hard and rare to come by. Gyozas at ramen shops are usually sub-par and dumplings at big chain restaurants are nothing to be impressed about. Shanghai’s Best has our #1 spot for dumplings at the moment. Let’s not forget how friendly the staff but also… location. Located inside the Pine Street Market, you have a taproom to grab some drinks, Pleasure Burger to grab some fries or burgers, and lots of seating to enjoy yourself. No rubbing elbows on strangers. Guy’s if you’re looking for dumplings, this is a MUST. You will get full, you will be happy, and you will tell your friends.
