No. 1 Shanghai 滬上

By Mijune

No. 1 Shanghai Cuisine. Ahh, I don’t know about that one. It wouldn’t be in my top 5 places to go for Shanghainese cuisine in Richmond, BC, but then again I only tried their dinner menu and perhaps their dim sum is better. I found the dinner very average and it wasn’t very inspiring.

Top Shanghai Cuisine 上海一只鼎

By Mijune

I decided to visit Top Shanghai Cuisine which is more or less known as one of “The Best Shanghai Restaurants” in town next to Shanghai River. Although I enjoyed my dining experience, I did find the items hit and miss, and ordering was a bit of a gamble.

Shanghai Wonderful Restaurant

By Mijune

It is probably one of the most popular and well liked Shanghainese restaurants in Richmond. It’s one of my go-to’s although I like to switch things up and try new places, however if it’s a big group, nobody ever objects to this as a dinner spot.

Northern Meixi Fast Food (Crystal Mall)

By Mijune

It was a Shanghainese Juicy Pork Dumpling aka “xiao long bao” (XLB) show down and this was one of the two stands in the food court offering them. It was no contest that Xu’s XLB’s were better though. I tried a few other items, but had no luck here.

Xu’s Wonton House (Crystal Mall – Previously Wang’s Shanghai Cuisine)

By Mijune

Before Xu’s Wonton House opened, it was another Shanghai restaurant called Wang’s Shanghai Cuisine. Wang’s was notorious for having “the best XLB” in Metro Vancouver, so I wanted to see if anything had changed since they’re still specializing in XLB.

Lin’s Chinese Cuisine & Tea House

By Mijune

I was actually surprised to see so many Chinese locals eating there because honestly I found almost all the dishes I ordered catered to Western tastes. Their award winning Juicy Pork Dumplings are very good, but there are better in the city.
