" I recently visited Shanghai Lu for dim sum and was thoroughly impressed. Everything we ordered was delicious, with noticeable authentic flavors. One thing to note is that portions seem generous enough for the price, making it worthwhile for anyone looking to explore dim sum in Vancouver. The ambiance is pleasant too; went for lunch during the week, so it was relatively quiet. Looking forward to going back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Smaller portions but splendid tastes define my experience at Shanghai Lu. While the service was a bit slow, the food made up for it with its flavor and freshness. I particularly enjoyed the spicy crab dish that was cooked perfectly. The ambiance felt cozy, suitable for family dining. I didn't mind the wait too much, as it allowed me to savor the food even longer. Will definitely be back to try more of their seafood dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from Shanghai Lu for the first time last week. The service was good, and my food was ready when I arrived. Unfortunately, I found the food a bit underseasoned compared to what I've come to expect from authentic Chinese cuisine. The shrimp fried rice was tasty but lacked the punch. I also ordered the steamed dumplings, which were enjoyable but not memorable. I think I might return to try next time for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Longing for good dim sum in Vancouver? Shanghai Lu should be your go-to spot! I went for lunch with my friends and was blown away by their variety. Everything was fresh and came out quickly. The staff was friendly and ensured our dishes were to our liking. The only downside was that I felt the tea could've been a bit stronger and more flavorful. Overall, a great experience, and I intend to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing lunch at Shanghai Lu last weekend! The variety of dim sum they offer is phenomenal, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. We tried everything from dumplings to steamed buns. Each bite was so flavorful! The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff attended to our needs quickly. It's a bit on the expensive side for dim sum, but I think the quality makes it worth it. Definitely one of the better places for lunch in Vancouver! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's always a pleasure to eat at Shanghai Lu. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff are genuinely friendly. They create a welcoming environment, especially for larger family gatherings. I've dined here multiple times and have never been disappointed with the food quality. I highly recommend the dim sum platter; it’s a feast worth celebrating. The portions are generous, and I always leave with leftovers to enjoy later. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner at Shanghai Lu with friends last weekend! We ordered their famous King Crab and Peking Duck combo, and it did not disappoint! The King Crab was succulent and seasoned perfectly, making it the highlight of the meal. The duck was crispy on the outside and juicy within. I also loved the friends' recommendation for the fried rice—so flavorful! Service was quick, and our server was attentive throughout the evening. This place has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite dining experiences in Vancouver. Highly recommend it for any special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)
