Soup dumplings
Â¥20

The ever-popular soup dumplings restaurant is popular for take-away and sit-down, but if you stay, be prepared to sit elbow-to-elbow with other patrons. The line for take-away is quite long and takes 90 min or more before soaking your teeth in some of the best and cheapest ones in Shanghai. This form of food is one of Shanghai's most well known culinary contributions to Chinese cuisine.
