Profile

Like motorists looking for a highway diner with a bottleneck of big-bellied truckers, most Chinatown wanderers seeking a good Shanghai supper follow the long lines to New Green Bo or Shanghai Cuisine. Directly across the street from the former, though, and a soup dumpling's toss from the latter, Yeah Shanghai Deluxe outdoes both with terrific service, a talented kitchen, beautifully presented dishes, and, of the three, the coolest name. Plus —for now, at least—no lines. You'll be guided by your waiter to the soup dumplings, the de rigueur Shanghai-joint appetizer, but they're just one example of the kitchen's dexterity with dumplings (check out the meticulous stuffing and crimping going on at the front window). Fried or steamed, stuffed with pork or, as a special, springy snow-pea tips, the dumplings alone are worth the detour. But once you're there, it would be a pity to miss the crispy turnip pastries flecked with bits of salty ham, the multilayered tofu-skin mock duck, or the luscious, tender, eminently fatty pork shoulder glazed with a red honey-soy sauce and surrounded by a ring of baby bok choy. Yeah, baby! — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

I have been going to this place once in a while for a few years but have decided it is not worth a trip anymore.. the food is OK if you never tried Shanghai food but hasn't improved over years.. looks like they have been just managing without spending efforts improving the menu... definitely not a competition against some other places serving the same Shanghai style cuisine in China town... the service was OK a few years ago, but is getting more and more unbearable.. I once even saw a sharp tongued waitress demanded a certain amount of tip from a guest.. amazingly rude..the owner, while having smile all over his face, was clearly on the waitress' side... wonder why... maybe he just can't find or keep good waitresses...

I have been to this restaurant 7 times now. I cannot go to NYC without taking the trip to this place. My favorite is the STEAMED JUICY PORK BUN from the dim sum menu! OUTSTANDING! I also have had Peking Duck there several time and that, too, is exceptional! Okay, so the tables are small and the place is somewhat crowded; you're not moving in there. The service can be somewhat sluggish but that's because they're always packed. I find the service to be polite and pleasant and they do not mind at all if you want to alter something that is on the menu. I highly recommend this place to everyone!
