Yang's Dumpling (Huanghe Road)
小杨生煎馆
A homegrown Shanghai shengjian brand famous for its thin-skinned, soup-filled style; the Huanghe Road branch is very close to People's Square.
Starting as a street stall on Wujiang Road, Yang's Dumpling has grown into Shanghai's most famous local shengjian brand. It is renowned for its abundant, piping-hot broth, which differs from the traditional yeast-leavened, brothless style (and indeed, many local traditionalists do not consider it authentic). At the No. 97 Huanghe Road branch, you can order via QR code. Pork shengjian cost about 13 RMB for 4 pieces, shrimp about 21-23 RMB, and crab roe about 29 RMB, with pork chops and wontons also available. Be careful of the hot soup when biting in. Average cost is 30-50 RMB per person. Located near People's Square Station on the same street as Jia Jia Tang Bao, it is perfect for comparing xiaolongbao and shengjian in one go.
