really great place for Shanghainese food!! we found this place as our Airbnb was close by and decided to give it a try. hands down one of my favourite shanghai/chinese spots in town. the dumplings are definitely made with love and packed with flavour. i would recommend the xiao long bao and pan fried dumplings. these are 10/10! the shanghainese noodles are another must try. super flavourful and filling!

Absolutely delicious soup dumplings (xiaolongbao). I’ve been thinking about them ever since. Shrimp dumplings were also among the best I’ve ever had! I preferred the normal soup dumplings to the truffle flavored ones which were more expensive. But even so, it was a fun novelty to try and I haven’t seen truffle soup dumplings anywhere else.

Really delicious shanghai food. The vegetable and the ribs go really well with white rice, especially the sticky ribs sauce. Their soup dumpling is good as well. Mapo tofu and aromatic beef are okay. Crispy duck is crispy but not too much meat

I normally pride myself on being an easy going patron but when I first came into Shanghai Zhen Gong Fu, I was pretty moody. (Intense PMS + 3 small kids). Between hormones and yelling children, I was hot and cranky and really not at my best. Bill (our waiter) quickly seated us and offered to sit us directly under the air conditioner and even got a second fan to point at us. It was heaven. I apologized for my mood and thanked him but he told me there was no need to apologize and he was SO happy, funny and kind..and most of all, accommodating! :-) We ordered about 6 different things but ate them so fast I only had a chance to get a picture of a few. The food typically would take longer to come out but we had it at our table within a few minutes. It was awesome. The duck was SO crisp and the meat was all the way good through and my husband and I agreed that this restaurant serves the best Lo Mein and General Tso's chicken we've ever had in our 35+ years of life :-) It was a wonderful experience and amazing food. Our little kids loved everything as well which was a big win. The restrooms were also clean ;-) I always love that. It is a good reflection on the restaurant. We will definitely come back :-) Thanks for the great experience, Bill.

First of all I almost never write reviews online but this place deserve one! Hands down, legit the best soup dumplings in the Queens! I’ve tried plenty of soup dumplings from all over Flushing but this place got it perfect! The skin is soft, it’s very soupy and the broth is so delicious. The Shanghai fried rice cake was also very good, soft but not too soft and the best part was that you can tell that the chef take his/her time to made it because the flavor and sauce was absorbed into the rice cakes unlike other places where the flavor is just on the outer layer. The host and staffs are very experienced and friendly! The place itself is very clean and the seating areas are spacious. Overall, highly recommended and must try if you’re in the area! PS - There is free parking in the back!

finally giving this place a try after recs from coworkers alike. i got the shanghai rice cakes with shredded pork and shrimp. it also had sliced shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, and cabbage, all stir-fried in a glossy, dark sauce. it was piping hot and very flavorful. it's my first time having shanghai-style rice cakes and definitely won't be the last!

Hidden gem on Queens Blvd… food was delicious. Ordered more than we should’ve but we wanted to try a few different things, and we had leftovers… we ordered dumplings, General Tso’s chicken, tiny pork buns, fried rice & sesame noodles.. I gotta go back and try other things…

Haven't been back for a while but glad we did. Food was very tasty & good. Of course we had both types of SLB's, the scallion pancakes and 2 types of noodles. Everything was delicious. Portions average with decent prices. Service was very friendly & attentive. We will need to remember to return on a regular basis!

This place has the best Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). Also tried scallion pancakes, string beans, and pan-fried noodles. The dishes were good.

Soup dumplings are the must but I liked the Szechuan style wonton the best. The Shanghai style rice cake was another favorite. Don’t have to go to Chinatown and wait in a long line anymore for soup dumplings. The service is good and prices are reasonable.

A no frills Chinese soup dumpling restaurant. Menu size and prices hint that it should be one of the better soup dumpling restaurants, but experience screams budget. Ordered standard pork soup dumpling, Pan fried dumplings, Shanghai lo-mein, these are standard items available at all soup dumpling restaurants. Pork soup dumpling was disappointment. The filling was loose and offered no bite texture to complement the wrapper. Pan fried dumpling very mediocre. Filling was slightly firmer, but skin was not crispy at all. Lo-mein didn't have much flavor, only impression I had was oily. The bill was 31(tax included), not terribly pricey or cheap, but the food was very disappointing. Not really bad, but disappointing given the current 4.5 rating. Given the high rating and the plain decor, I had expectations that it would compare to Yu garden or Nanxiang in food quality, but definitely no
