A soup-dumpling stop in the Yuyuan area. Choose the branch on Yuyuan Road and make the meal a plan of its own.
A focused choice for xiaolongbao during a Yuyuan visit. Pick it for the food you want, then check the current menu and wait on arrival.
Give a basket of xiaolongbao your full attention before moving on to the garden or nearby streets. This listing is for the Yuyuan Road restaurant, not another branch or the newer Xintiandi concept.
The city’s March 2026 food guide lists daily service from 07:30 to 20:30 and names pork and crab-roe fillings among its specialities. Check the current menu, serving area and queue arrangements when you arrive; fillings, dishes and prices can change.
Our selection is based on published information, not a recent tasting. The budget marker is an editorial guide rather than a fixed meal price. We have not verified an online table-booking service. The cover shows dumplings photographed at Nanxiang in Shanghai in August 2006.
