" Overall, a great meal! The fried baos and wontons made for a fantastic lunch. I appreciated the authenticity of the flavors; they truly reflect the spirit of Shanghainese cooking. Service was polite but could be keen on improving their turnover time. Would definitely eat here again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Shanghai, I consider myself a connoisseur of authentic street food. The fried baos at Sang-Ji brought back all those sweet memories. The texture was spot on, and the savory filling was delicious. This place gets busy, so it’s best to go during off-peak hours. Can’t wait to go back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible experience at Sang-Ji Fried Bao! The original baos were bursting with flavor and had a beautifully crispy bottom. I can't stop thinking about how good they were. The service was quick, and the ambiance was cozy despite the small space. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavor and authenticity are unmatched! The baos felt like a warm hug in the form of food. Each dumpling bursts with rich soup and a delightful filling. My only complaint would be the tight spaces—finding a seat can be a challenge during busy hours. Overall, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sang-Ji Fried Bao is everything I could hope for. The baos were crispy and filled with rich soup. The fried pork ribs didn’t disappoint either—perfect amount of seasoning! I was blown away by the quality and speed of service, although the restaurant can get quite packed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from Sang-Ji, and the experience was smooth and efficient. The baos arrived hot and fresh, even after a 20-minute commute. The pork filling was savory and well-balanced. However, the prices are slightly higher than I expected—still worth it for the quality. I’ll definitely return but might opt to try next time for the full experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a Shanghainese, I have very high standards for fried baos and the ones here are among the best I've had outside of China. The soup filling is generous and flavorful, and the dough is cooked to perfection. The only downside was that I visited during lunch, and it was quite packed. Still, definitely returning for my fix!
