Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Zhang Ji Shanghai La Mian Xiao Long Bao consistently delivers on its dumpling offerings, a sentiment echoed by long-time patrons.

The Chilli Oil Dumplings and Fried Dumplings, both priced at $8, are frequently highlighted for their generous fillings and well-balanced flavour, with the chilli oil version being noted as 'spice friendly' for most palates.

The Xiao Long Bao ($6) also receives praise for its excellent texture and intact skin.

While the dumplings are a clear draw, we note that the noodles, such as the Dan Dan Mian ($5), are considered sub-par by some, with issues like soft noodles and a lack of flavour in the sauce.

However, the efficiency of the staff, even with a 'snake long queue', is commendable.

We think this stall is best for those seeking quality dumplings as a side dish or a light meal, rather than a full noodle-centric experience.

Worth the wait for the dumplings alone.

Zhang Ji Shanghai La Mian Xiao Long Bao consistently receives high praise for its dumplings, particularly the Chilli Oil Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao, which are noted for their generous fillings, good texture, and affordability.

While the dumplings are a standout, some customers find the noodles, like the Dan Dan Mian, to be sub-par.

The stall is known for long queues, but customers generally agree the wait is worthwhile due to the quality and value of the food, and efficient service.

I’ve always enjoyed eating here whenever I’m in the area. Their Xiao Long Bao (steamed mini buns), Szechuan Spicy Wantons, and Panfried Dumplings are consistently good. 😋 You just need a little patie…

Xiao long bao (小笼包) ($6) - Excellent texture. Soft yet didn’t break easily. Good fillings. Sour and spicy soup (酸辣汤) ($3) - Good. Had a variety of fungi and bamboo shoots.

The best Hong you chao shou 红油抄手 in Singapore. Perfect combination for the sauce and the chili. Personally I prefer steam dumpling 水饺 over the 锅贴。酸辣汤so so. Nothing special. Overall, it worth the time…
