Jia Jia Tang Bao (Huanghe Road)
佳家汤包
A famous xiaolongbao spot near People's Square, serving freshly wrapped dumplings with thin skins and clear broth, with the crab roe version being the crowd favorite.
Located at No. 127 Huanghe Road, Jia Jia Tang Bao has moved from its original location at No. 90 to a larger space diagonally opposite; note that another restaurant with a similar name now occupies No. 90, so be sure to identify the correct one. The xiaolongbao are wrapped to order, featuring thin skins and clear broth. The signatures are the pure crab roe soup dumplings and the crab roe and pork xiaolongbao, while the golden crab roe tossed noodles are also popular. Order and pay via QR code; the pure pork version may sell out by the afternoon. Peak hours are around 11:30-13:00; arriving after 10:30 or 14:00 is recommended. Prices range from about 18 to 70 RMB per steamer depending on the filling. It is about a 5-minute walk from People's Square Station.
