I’m on a mission to find the best Shanghai dumplings (小籠包) out there and what better way to search than to try out all the popular spots in San Gabriel Valley. I made sure to visit the top 4 Shanghai dumpling restaurants the region had to offer, and three happened to be right next to each other in the Prospect Plaza.
JONASAPPROVED Top 4 Shanghai Dumpling Restaurants (linked to their Yelp reviews):
1. J & J Restaurant
2. Mei Long Village
3. Din Tai Fung (Old location)
4. Dragon Mark (一條龍）
According to Chowhound, I still have two more places to try (that aren’t so popular):
Giang Nan / De Yue Lou
Ho Ho Kitchen
From Wiki:
Xiǎolóngbāo (literally “little basket bun”; also known as soup dumpling[1] is a type of baozi (filled bun or bread-like item) from Eastern China, including Shanghai and Wuxi. These buns are traditionally steamed in bamboo baskets, hence the name.
