Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Shanghai Renjia offers a focused menu of Shanghainese dishes, with the Shen Jian Bao frequently highlighted as a standout.

We hear reports of these pan-fried buns being juicy with a good crust, though some note they don't quite reach authentic Shanghai levels.

The Xiao Long Bao also receives praise for its juiciness, though the skin might be thicker than expected.

Other dishes like the scallion oil noodles and Mei Cai Kong Rou are generally well-regarded for their flavour and reasonable pricing.

However, we've noted consistent feedback regarding the service, with some experiences described as unfriendly or slow, possibly due to its family-run nature.

There's also a recurring mention of a $1.20 per person charge for weak tea.

We think it's worth trying for the signature buns, but manage expectations for service and the limited menu.

Best for those seeking specific Shanghainese comfort food rather than a broad culinary adventure.

A reservation is recommended, especially if you plan to order the buns, which require prep time.

I recently chance upon this restaurant while I was in the area and just thought why not give it a try. I feel it is a decent eatery with the scallions oil noodles being its signature dish. The noodle…

A longstanding establishment offering a consciously smaller menu of choice Shanghainese items. As a place that has become synonymous with Shen Jian Bao, we could not resist preordering a dozen to star…

Very disappointing experience. The staff were extremely unfriendly and rude. There is a $1.20 per person charge just to dine in, supposedly for tea, but the tea had no chrysanthemum flavour and taste…

Always our comfort food for these 8 years. Xiao Long Bao and Sheng Jian Bao taste really good, vege also fresh and tasty. Very cozy environment with air conditioning.

First time trying out this place. Saw social media sharing the good about 生煎包 so decided to try it. Parking is easy. Public parking just behind. The place renovation looks normal. I recall this was an…
