Shanghai 1 - Philadelphia

Overall, it’s not a bad place for dim sum. Service was fast and they have a large menu. Most of the dishes were tasty. My favorite was their soup dumplings. They were delicious! My biggest complaint is the lack of sauce for everything. The flavors are great, but it needs an extra something to make it that much better. I wish the fried squid came with some sauce. Same for the spring rolls. Even the noodles needed some more sauce! When we asked the kitchen as the noodles came out pretty dry and with little meat, they told us it was not possible. The prices were a little high for the portions. Overall, it was decent, but I would not return unless there was more sauce added.

Literally stared at the wall and went in w/o prior research. What a pleasant surprise! The soup dumplings were authentic. I come from CA and Din Tai Fung is way overpriced. We also had some veggies and noodles that were equally good. Will be back when in the area again

Soup dumplings were very soupy. Can't go wrong with it! Joe's Shanghai in NYC Chinatown is still better, but if you're craving soup dumplings in Philly, can't go wrong with them. Fast service.

Home away from home!!! We had one of the better meals since we stayed in Philly!! All the dishes reminded me so much of Taiwan!!! Definitely a required stop when here!! Trust me

Great beef soup and soup dumplings. The beef was super tender. Server was super nice. Yeah don’t go in expecting your food to come out on a silver platter but the food makes up for the lack of dinnerware and was very reasonably priced.
