Haven't been here in a while (a couple years) but it's still an all time favorite. Soup dumplings are always good. Jelly fish is good - large, long pieces, good amount of sesame oil and flavors/garlic. Beef scallion pancakes were good- wish there was a little more hoisin sauce. Service was quick, bathrooms were clean.

delicious asian cuisine! this is my favorite place to get soup dumplings. the steamed pork soup dumplings always taste delicious and are well made. it's fresh with great flavor. the texture is right too. the pork isn't slimy or fatty when biting into the dumpling which is a common thing i've experienced with other soup dumplings. The food is good for both take out and dine in. The other dishes are tasty as well. The pork buns are delicious. It's hard not to order more! The service is good and the atmosphere is a nice. it is a nice place to have a tasty meal.

We've been here a couple times-last time we went we ordered soup dumplings, beef with noodles and twice cooked pork. We enjoyed the dumplings: flavorful and good textures. The twice cooked pork was very good with lots of delicious cabbage and pork. I wouldn't get the beef w noodles again bc it was almost all noodles with very little beef. Not well balanced. Overall like this place!

Generous and authentic lunch menu. The hot and sour soup contained a healthy mixture of water bamboo, black fungus, and tofu. The scallion beef could easily fill with three bowls of rice. The noodles for the soupy jalapeños with pork slices and the dry with scallion and oil all had good chewy texture. The soup dumplings had very thin skin, showing the mastery in making and requiring the mastery in eating them. Ambiance was nostalgic with splash pictures of Zhejiang province small towns on one side and black-and-white old photos of Shanghai buildings on the other.

Came back to try some other dishes and soup dumplings were just as good as I last remembered Veggie and pork wontons 3.5/5: soup and wontons itself was quite bland but I liked that it was meaty Double cook pork 4/5: this was delicious but you def need to pair with rice

Back at OSSD after a while, as everyone in the family were craving for some soup dumplings and delicious Chinese dishes. We arrived right at the time of opening and got a table. The restaurant filled up fully within 30 minutes. We got some of our favorite items like soup dumplings, chicken dumplings, shrimp fried rice, mopu tofu, string beans, triple delight, and eggplant with garlic sauce. All dishes were so good as usual. Service was good. Dishes kept coming out one after the another. We didn't have to wait very long. Tea cups were refilled regularly. Totally was worth dining here.

This spot is located on a busy/Main Street with a lot of food options. I'm glad I chose this spot as it really delivered with tasty dishes. My family and I love soup dumplings. We have our tried and true spot but on Feb. 19th (President's Day), we were all off from work and decided to try a new place. When you walk in, there is a waiting room which indicated to me that they usually have a wait time and loyal customers. 1st good sign. We were here for a long time and the staff did not rush us. One of the waiters actually dropped a glass and the rest of the staff went around making sure no nearby customers were injured/apologized for the scare. They also checked in on the waiter and helped him clean up. Very nice and attentive staff. We ordered the steamed crab meat and pork soup dumplings and wow the broth was soooo delicious. It was our favorite part of the meal. It confirmed for us that we will be visiting again. The fried udon was also delicious. The bok choy wasn't overcooked and whatever sauce was drenching the noodles was tasty. The roast pork fried rice was good. They nailed every dish we ordered. I didn't taste any of the house special fried rice because I ended up being too full but my mom and sister were fighting to take the leftovers home so it was also a hit. I think they forgot and then realized we ordered the Peking duck because it was brought last even though it was an appetizer. When I did eat it, it was cold so I can't really judge it accurately. I would order it again and just hope I get it before my entree arrives. My family and I will be visiting again though I wouldn't be surprised if it is more packed than our first visit. I think we got lucky with the holiday. I don't see a place with food as this good not having a lot of customers.

I love this place - it has become my go-to place whenever I want a good, comforting slurp of soup dumplings. Owned by former manager from soup dumplings plus, their menus are nearly identical... but while the OG got a bit too pricey and slipped a bit in quality and taste, this relative newcomer is hitting all the marks! Parking is probably the worst thing about this place as you'll have to circle around a few times to find a spot, but your effort will totally be worth it. Crab and pork soup dumplings (5/5, APP) - Super tasty. Perfect with the sweet black vinegar and I'd add a dollop of their spicy chili crisp oil (on the table) Spicy Sichuan beef tripe w/ peanuts (5/5, APP) - my wife doesn't even eat spicy and she loves eating this! It's probably our second favorite app after the XLB. Great chewy texture that's not too tough, fragrant, savory, spicy, umami, and even slightly sweet, this is where it's at! Order it, Thank me later. Chicken with Mixed Vegetables (4/5, Main) - Nice counterpart to spicy dishes, it has great chew and generous amount of crunchy vegetables to offset the protein. I'm a fan of this place - probably my favorite Chinese spot in the area along with the incredible Xiao Chun Dian lamb skewer place few blocks down!
