Frommer's Review

One of the city's most popular and trusty standbys for inexpensive dining, this famed eatery specializes in all of Shanghai's signature snacks and cheap eats including xiefen xiaolong (crabmeat and pork dumplings), xiefen shengjian (crabmeat and pork buns steamed in oil), guotie (pot stickers), babaofan (eight-treasure sticky rice), and a variety of noodles such as dandan mian (noodles in spicy peanut sauce) and shangsu tangmian (noodle soup with vegetables). Recently renovated, the store features dining rooms on the second and third floors (where you can order from Chinese-only menus or simply point to what others are eating), and a take-out/fast food section on the first floor where you can also watch staff making the dumplings. To partake of the first-floor chaos, pay for your selections first under the escalator, find a seat at the plastic tables, and give your chit to the red-clad waitresses. All that remains is to slurp, loudly and with gusto.
