" Delicious is an understatement! I found TJ's while searching for the best local dumplings. I had the shrimp and pork dumplings. Both were remarkable and incredibly juicy. I also couldn’t resist the scallion pancake which was light and cooked perfectly. The owners are just lovely people; they go the extra mile to ensure you leave happy. Though the seating options are limited, the quality of the food certainly makes up for it. I will absolutely be back and encourage others to visit too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried various dumpling spots around town, and I can confidently say that TJ's Dumplings reigns supreme! Their crab rangoon is a real treat—lightly crispy and filled with fresh crab meat rather than all cream cheese like at other places. The pork dumplings, which you can customize to your liking, are equally flavorful. Though the place is primarily for takeout, I found it a nice spot to enjoy my food in the small but clean dining area. The owners were so kind and approachable, making sure our experience was top-notch. I left feeling satisfied and can’t wait to share this treasure with family and friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Coming from a long history of eating dumplings, I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur! TJ's Shanghai Dumplings has it going on! Their menu, although simple, highlights the essentials—each dumpling being very flavorful and fresh. I especially loved that you have the option to have them pan-fried or steamed. Their service also adds a nice touch—very friendly and accommodating. You might want to call ahead if you're planning to go in rush hour, as they can get busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to TJ's turned out to be an exceptional culinary journey. As someone who reveres genuine Asian cuisine, the shrimp dumplings very much transported me back to my travels through Southeast Asia. Perfectly steamed with a generous filling, these dumplings were fresh and packed with taste. In addition, I ordered the crab rangoons, which were delicately crispy without being overly greasy. Although the space is small and primarily set for takeout, the warmth and friendliness from the owner made it feel less like a restaurant and more like a visit to a friend’s home. I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking for authentic dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing the hype about TJ's, I decided to check it out, and I'm glad I did! The shrimp dumplings were delicious, certainly among the best I have tasted. The staff were friendly, and the service was great despite the place being busy. I also decided to try the green onion pancakes based on customer feedback, and they exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere might not be the trendiest, but it’s cozy and feels welcoming. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a whim, my friends and I decided to check out TJ's Shanghai Dumplings since we were craving authentic dumplings. The first thing that stood out was how small and unassuming the place was, but don't let that fool you! Once you place your order, it's a busy atmosphere as you see them prepare each meal fresh. We ordered multiple types of dumplings to try everything, and the flavors were out of this world! I especially loved their special ginger dipping sauce which took the dumplings to a whole new level. The service was fabulous—the staff was friendly and even gave us a free drink while we waited, which showed their genuine hospitality. I'm already looking forward to our next visit, and I highly recommend anyone searching for the best dumplings around to make the trip here! " (*Curated Review*)

" WOW! Just wow! I visited TJ's on a recommendation from a friend who insisted they have the best dumplings. I ordered the pork dumplings and was blown away by the juiciness of the filling, coupled with the delicious dipping sauce! I also had a green onion pancake that was flaky and surprisingly delicious. The owners were the sweetest people who made my experience memorable with their genuine hospitality. It's a small takeout place but filled with charm, and the food is authentic. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who loves good dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)
