I first wrote about this place back in 2018, but this post serves as an update on their new location. From what I can tell, they’ve moved to a bigger store since my last visit years ago.
We didn’t use the metro much on this trip and mostly took cabs (via DiDi), so we could visit more places and make the most of our time.
Exact address in Chinese : 上海市黄浦区黄河路127号
How the store looks like from outside!
We had to wait a bit when we arrived, but it wasn’t a long wait.
While we were waiting, my dad grabbed a menu for us to look through.
Everything is digital, there’s a QR code where you scan to place orders and pay. Though you can do ordering and paying manually here, as I saw them assist some foreigners.
We ordered different kinds of xiaolongbao, but we always came back to one favorite. The 纯蟹粉汤包 (Soup Dumplings Stuffed with Crab) has remained our top choice for years.
My mom was sooo happy to have her favorite again, and my brother finally understood why she got so addicted to it all those years ago.

I think the next time I come back here, I’ll just order the 纯蟹粉汤包 (Soup Dumplings Stuffed with Crab), the 黄金蟹粉拌面（附汤) Dry Crab Noodles (with soup), and maybe some basic meat dumplings just to balance everything out so it’s not all crab.
