Shanghai Dumpling House
227 W Valley Blvd, San Gabriel, CA 91776, United States
This place isnt the bestest dumpling house I have eaten, but I heard a lot of good reviews, so I thought to come here to take a visit.Parking can get hard because there are a lot of food and other places shared in the plaza, so do come with some time to spare for parking. There is additional parking underground as well though! (free parking!)The place is located on the first floor, easy to spot.I had quite a few of their dishes (remember these are personal preferences as my taste my obviously differ) including regular juicy pork dumplings (5/5), salty egg dumplings (0/5) -i like salty eggs and its related flavor snacks, but this is just not it, spicy wonton (5/5), beef noodle soup (4/5), their dry noodle with sauce (4/5) - I do love that it came with a side of soup that you can either dip the noodles in or drink it, beef pot stickers (4/5).I do like their spicy line of food, they make it spicy but not too spicy. Enough kick for the road!Overall I had a great experience, however it wasnt the best food in my opinion as I had better.The place does not have AC, the day I went was about 90 degrees, and only the door was open, I wished they had AC turned on or a fan, i was sweating while eating the hots.The owner of the place is Shanghainese, and you can catch him speak with the customers in Shanghainese which is cute, and makes me wish i also speak it so i can have casual conversation about food and this place with him. They do speak Mandarin, so that helps since I can communicate with them. But for regular customers since the servers and owner dont really speak English it makes it harder.I would totally come back here again though!
Southern Mini Town Restaurant
833 W Las Tunas Dr, San Gabriel, CA 91776, United States
I’ve been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years with my family. Amazing, very authentic Shanghainese food (the chef grew up in changning qu!) with incredible staff all around. Hard to pick a favorite dish, but you’d be best off ordering the regional dishes over something more generic!My personal favorites are the 葱烤鲤鱼, 上海小排骨 and the 上海炒年糕 :)
Shanghai No 1 Seafood Village
250 W Valley Blvd M, San Gabriel, CA 91776, United States
Shanghai No. 1 restaurant has been opened about 10 years, and it was closed during the Covid-19 pandemic but reopened this year. I would say it is an authentic Shanghainese cuisine restaurant on Valley Blvd in the heart of San Gabriel Valley. The restaurant decorations are traditional Chinese designs, and there are 5 luxury dining rooms if you like to have a special occasioned party. The foods are excellent and can be expensive depending on your pocket and taste. Currently, cant travel to China but if you want to have real Shanghainese food, this is a 5 stars restaurant.Just revisiting one year after in 2024, same old thing. Not too much the Shanghainese restaurants left over in San Gabriel Valley Chinatown but their food is still the same good quality.
Embassy Kitchen 8
218 S San Gabriel Blvd, San Gabriel, CA 91776, United States
No. 8 on the Bund restaurant in San Gabriel beautifully captures the essence of its Shanghai namesake. While it may lack the stunning Bund view, it more than compensates with its impressive array of authentic Shanghainese cuisine. I was particularly enamored with their grilled whole fish in scallion and Shanghainese sauce—a dish that truly transported me back to the flavors of Shanghai. Equally delightful was the noodle in scallion oil, boasting a remarkable authenticity and flavor.One of the standout features of this restaurant is its exceptional value. With lunch offerings priced at under $12, you can savor your favorite dishes without breaking the bank. The extensive menu offers a plethora of choices, and I highly recommend indulging in their fried dumplings and the universally beloved braised pork belly. The attentive and friendly service further enhances the dining experience.Upon stepping inside, the decor immerses you in Shanghais charm, adorned with Shanghai-style photos and wall art. While the restaurant may not provide the iconic Bund view, it undeniably captures the essence of Shanghainese cuisine and culture. No. 8 on the Bund in San Gabriel is a true gem for those seeking an authentic taste of Shanghai in a cozy and inviting setting.
