How much does it cost to eat at Shanghai Taste?

Shanghai Taste is priced at $10–20 per person. A basket of handmade soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) is under $15, making it one of the most affordable places for authentic Shanghainese food in Rockville, MD.

Are the soup dumplings made fresh?

Yes. Our Xiao Long Bao (小笼包) are hand-pleated with 18 folds and made fresh daily in our Rockville kitchen — never frozen. We cook the pork aspic filling in-house in small batches throughout the day.

Can I order from the menu online for pickup?

Yes. You can order online for pickup, and both dine-in and takeout are available. Ordering ahead is recommended on weekends, when Shanghai Taste fills up.

Is Shanghainese food spicy?
