Top Shanghainese Restaurant in Newark
Shanghai Bistro
39169 Cedar Blvd, Newark, CA 94560, United States
The name of the restaurant is “lost” in the translation. The Chinese name is “李一季生煎馆”. Presumably, “李一季” is the name of the owner. “生煎” is a type of Shanghainese style pan fried dumpling. “馆” means restaurant. So, this is a place mainly for eating the pan fried dumplings. Being a native Shanghainese, I must say that their dumplings are very good, or at least among one of the best in the Bay Area. Their dumplings are full of savory juice that can burn your tongue when the dumplings are hot. So be careful when eating. Remember, you do not want to wait till the dumplings are cool before eating since the juice will mostly be absorbed by the flour skin by then.Due to current Covid 19 situation, I can only order dumplings to go. It’s about 15 minute drive to my house and the dumplings are still hot enough to devour. Yummy!

1 star and I feel that is even being generous. Top WORST Chinese food Ive had..... I ordered 3 things from doordash, came out to $66, fried wontons with cream cheese, pineapple fried rice, sweet & sour pork.- Fried wontons were chewy like couldnt eat chewy- Pineapple fried rice had no pineapple but shrimp (I think they gave me wrong one) smelled like rotten seafood.- Sweet & sour pork, chewy, minimal sauce and lacked flavor.Threw it ALL away. Didnt even get a fortune cookie either.... I should have saved myself $66 bucks and ate the crackers I had in my cabinet. (Pics look better than it was).
