| - As a native from Shanghai, this restaurant really hits home when it comes to providing authentic Shanghai dishes. If you are craving some soup dumpling, deep fried rice patties, or just some deep fried dough with congee, this place is a must-try. They have all-around side dishes and Dim Sum.
We ordered the soup dumplings, pan fried pork buns, beef noodles, congee and deep fried dough, sweet sauteed pork, and wontons. This place is probably one of the ONLY places that gets the thickness of the soup dumplings right. (Yeah I know, sounds too good to be true right). The soup dumplings were super juicy too!
But as much as I'm hyping their soup dumplings, in a place like Markham, good soup dumplings aren't actually too hard to find. What REALLY makes Shanghai Dim Sum stand out is their deep fried rice patties (which are like a super nostalgic part of my parents' childhood so it has to be important, right?). Not a lot of places actually serve this snack, and when they do, it's usually pretty bad. So huge shoutout to Shanghai Dim Sum for that.
Everything else is pretty standard. No complaints about the service, but nothing too outstanding. Decor of restaurant is clean, but nothing memorable or special. Menus have some pictures and are not handwritten?! (nice!!).
Thanks Shanghai Dim Sum!
