Yang's Fry-Dumpling

Perhaps Shanghai’s most ubiquitous chain restaurant, Yang’s Fry-Dumpling is also one of its best. Even with stores all over the city, lines can sometimes stretch out the door. Yang’s dumplings are cheap and consistently delicious, so much so that Yang’s has become synonymous with shengjian bao in Shanghai. Three flavors are available: pork, shrimp, and vegetable.
