Restaurant Jia Jia Tang Bao
Jia Jia Tang Bao is a true Shanghai institution—a family-run soup dumpling shop that has been serving the city since 1986. Located on Huanghe Road, just a short walk from People’s Square, this no‑frills eatery has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its masterful xiaolongbao and remains a favorite among locals and travelers alike.
Jia Jia Tang Bao remains refreshingly unpretentious: order at the counter, find a seat in the small, bustling dining room, and watch the dumpling makers at work behind glass. Service is efficient, and the atmosphere is pure local energy—cramped, lively, and entirely focused on the food.
