Wanshou Zhai (Shanyin Road)
Wanshou Zhai is an old-school xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) and wonton shop on Shanyin Road in Hongkou, a short walk from Lu Xun Park. It has fed this lane-house neighborhood since the 1960s and was named among Shanghai's noted local snacks during the 2010 Expo. Locals queue from dawn for thin-skinned pork xiaolongbao and the three-fresh wonton soup; a full breakfast lands around 20 RMB. Tables are shared, turnover is fast, and the room feels like the Shanghai of thirty years ago in the good way.
Good to know 小贴士
- Go before 9am or after 2pm to skip the queue; expect to share a table.
