really great place for Shanghainese food!!
we found this place as our Airbnb was close by and decided to give it a try. hands down one of my favourite shanghai/chinese spots in town.
the dumplings are definitely made with love and packed with flavour. i would recommend the xiao long bao and pan fried dumplings. these are 10/10!
the shanghainese noodles are another must try. super flavourful and filling!
Came alone for some quick dim sum after running errands but ended up staying for general tso chicken.
Really good food, quick service, clean space and great ambiance.
Really delicious shanghai food. The vegetable and the ribs go really well with white rice, especially the sticky ribs sauce. Their soup dumpling is good as well. Mapo tofu and aromatic beef are okay. Crispy duck is crispy but not too much meat
Absolutely delicious soup dumplings (xiaolongbao). I’ve been thinking about them ever since. Shrimp dumplings were also among the best I’ve ever had!
I preferred the normal soup dumplings to the truffle flavored ones which were more expensive. But even so, it was a fun novelty to try and I haven’t seen truffle soup dumplings anywhere else.

I normally pride myself on being an easy going patron but when I first came into Shanghai Zhen Gong Fu, I was pretty moody. (Intense PMS + 3 small kids). Between hormones and yelling children, I was hot and cranky and really not at my best.
Bill (our waiter) quickly seated us and offered to sit us directly under the air conditioner and even got a second fan to point at us. It was heaven.
I apologized for my mood and thanked him but he told me there was no need to apologize and he was SO happy, funny and kind..and most of all, accommodating! :-)
We ordered about 6 different things but ate them so fast I only had a chance to get a picture of a few.
The food typically would take longer to come out but we had it at our table within a few minutes. It was awesome.
The duck was SO crisp and the meat was all the way good through and my husband and I agreed that this restaurant serves the best Lo Mein and General Tso's chicken we've ever had in our 35+ years of life :-)
It was a wonderful experience and amazing food. Our little kids loved everything as well which was a big win.
The restrooms were also clean ;-) I always love that. It is a good reflection on the restaurant.
We will definitely come back :-) Thanks for the great experience, Bill.
Probably one of the best hidden gems in Elmhurst, if not the entire city.
Staff were nice and attentive. Very good.
Food was SOOOO good and the soup dumplings are perfect. The sweet and sour chicken was perfectly flavored and just generally amazing.
100% recommend a visit if you’re anywhere in the city.
The soup dumplings are very good and their homemade iced tea was a nice surprise, really had a good taste to it. Had a shrimp and broccoli dish my last time here which had a sauce that really made it stand out in a positive way. Very friendly and attentive service too.
Stumbled upon this place randomly while walking around the neighborhood. Neat find. Service was great - quick and servers were lovely. The restaurant itself also looks very clean and modern. The food was great also - clean-tasting broth and the duck was so good.
Amazingly good! Every dish is freshly made. The Sesame chicken amazing. Large portions of food. You are greeted as soon as you come in. The staff and manager are courteous and friendly. Excellent service. You must try it for yourself. Everyone looks so happy while eating. You are going love it here. One of the best restaurants in the city.
One of our fave restaurant in Queens, and its not too far to our home! If we crave dumpling soup, this is the first place we think the best to go! We always order 2 pork soup dumplings, coz I’m telling you, you’ll regret not getting another one! Soup dumplings are not meant to share. Lol! So yummy, you can finish the whole thing and might think of getting another one! Hahaha.
And we love the salt and pepper pork here too! Its so tasty. That one is good for sharing, just order one more extra rice and you’re good!
I love their menu! Looks classy even tho its just a small restaurant.
Lets talk about the service/server, we’ve never came here with not nice server. All of them are sweet and welcoming. They kept checking up on the customers if in need more of anything. We love it when we don’t need to call them for a glass of water, they gonna keep refilling it! Haha. That’s how attentive they are. They deserve the 5 stars rating tho!
