" Shanghai Shaomai has quickly become my favorite place to grab a bite. Their dumplings are hands down the best I've had outside of Shanghai. Each one is handmade, ensuring quality and authenticity. You can tell the owners take pride in their work, as they are always friendly and engaging. I’ll recommend them to anyone who loves authentic Chinese food. Just a heads up—the lines can get long during peak hours, but trust me, it's worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Shanghai Shaomai was nothing short of extraordinary. The moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped by the delightful aroma of freshly made dumplings that took me back to my childhood in Shanghai. I ordered the traditional Shaomai and Wonton soup, and they were simply divine! The Shaomai was perfectly juicy, and the wontons were tender yet filled with flavorful meat. The service was incredibly warm, and the owner personally checked in on my table, which made me feel valued. Although the atmosphere was a bit noisy, typical of food courts, the quality of the food more than made up for it. I will definitely be returning whenever I'm in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shanghai Shaomai is the only place I trust for authentic Shanghai food. The flavors are spot on, and everything from dumplings to wontons tastes homemade. The quick service is also commendable, and the staff seems genuinely interested in ensuring guests have a good time. The only reason I rate atmosphere lower is because it is a food court, but honestly, who cares when the food is this good! I’ll definitely keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re a fan of dim sum and Shanghainese cuisine, visiting Shanghai Shaomai is a must! Their dumplings are consistently delicious and served steaming hot. The service is friendly and accommodating, which makes the experience pleasant. A bonus is that you can watch your dumplings being made as you wait, showcasing the skill involved. I definitely plan to come back with family and friends so they can taste the amazing food as well. " (*Curated Review*)

Although the food court can be busy, the atmosphere was lively and fun. I left satisfied and can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every meal I've tried at Shanghai Shaomai has been fantastic! Their dumplings taste just like the ones you’d find in Shanghai, which is hard to come by in Toronto. The atmosphere can get a bit chaotic, especially during lunch hours, but I don’t mind as long as the food is delicious. The staff handles everything efficiently and always with a smile. I’m a regular now, and it's clear to see why these folks are loved by so many. " (*Curated Review*)

" A perfect spot for anyone craving authentic Shanghainese comfort food. My favorites were the sticky rice dumplings and the wontons. Each dish was cooked to perfection, allowing the natural flavors to shine through. Although the location being in a mall might make it feel less upscale, the quality of the food is evident and far exceeds my expectations. I've been here multiple times and the experience has always remained consistent, which speaks volumes about their dedication to their craft. I would certainly return and highly recommend it to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
