Shanghai Dumplings FusionB+Worth Trying

158 W 72nd St, New York, NY 10023 · Dumpling restaurant · 4.4/5 Google (106 reviews)

Reservations · Takeout

Lively UWS spot for soup dumplings and Shanghai-leaning Chinese with some fusion touches; quality is good overall but service speed and consistency can vary.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Shanghai Dumplings Fusion delivers competitive quality with strong execution on signature soup dumplings and Peking duck, supported by friendly, attentive service. However, quality variation in dumpling preparation and occasional service delays prevent higher performance. The convenient Upper West Side location and fair pricing make it a solid neighborhood choice for dumpling enthusiasts, though not a citywide destination.
