The dumplings here are little balls of heaven. Short walk from our hotel (Marriott City Center) on an awesome dining street with everything imaginable being cooked up. Yang's is in the middle of it all and, for us, it was even better than the reviews made them sound. Had the pork and the crayfish, but excellent and the browned bottom... More

After three weeks in China we did not rate the food. And then we had THE FAMOUS YANG'S DUMPLINGS in Shanghai... these rescued the food reputation Of China. Utterly delicious and cheap - you get to order a variety and see them being cooked as you wait at the kiosk-type window before taking them to the restaurant area upstairs. I... More

My friend insisted that I needed to try Yang's if I wanted to state that I'd been to Shanghai! I had the shrimp dumplings, the meat dumplings and then the next day the pork rib soup!!! Let me tell you guys....these are some of the best flavours I have ever tasted! The dumplings were stellar but the soup is rock... More

My partner amd i loved the dumplings from this place. We tried about four different places however these ones were by far our favourite and being only a pound in English money there are fantastic value. Definitely worth a visit.

Very close to the Radisson Hotel where I stayed and it was recommended by a friend. The shop was pretty small and with not a lot of seats. I suppose many bought take out as the environment was not the most comfortable for a sit down meal. I bought some fried dumplings and took them back to the hotel for... More

Recommended by a friend that that this is a must-try shop in Shanghai and it didn’t disappoint us. The fried dumpling was really good. Quite big portion and with a very reasonable price.

This is a big chain now, but still serve great fried dumplings. Just a note about ordering, head inside and pay, then take your ticket to the kitchen to get dumplings. Seating is a bit tight, so most people get it take away. Tip - head here first and grab 8 dumplings to go and then line up at Jia... More

Eventually found the restaurant with help from some friendly locals, but it was worth the search as the dumplings are delicious. Address is correct but map location on TripAdvisor isn't, so plan on another app before setting out.

I went there just to have a quick dinner with a friend. The dumplings were nice but nothing special. The environment was just a typical Chinese chain. I don't think is a place to go for a date or something special, only for fast meals.

Yang´s Friend Dumplings is a chain of chinese fast food spots. You can find them through Shanghai. Their dumplings are soft on the top crispy on the bottom and juicy inside. On your first visit I recomend to take 6 for 16RMB. It contains two of each (meat, veggie and lobster).

Staying in People’s Square

Neighborhood Profile
People’s Square
People’s Square brings with it all the excitement you would expect from the town square of one of the biggest cities in the world. The area around People’s Square and People’s Park is always a abuzz with activity. Oceans of local and foreign tourists flow in and out of the area every day to see grand museums, go shopping and eat at some of Shanghai’s most storied food centers. Shanghai residents, meanwhile, live and work in the many residential and office high-rises. While much of Shanghai stays busy late into the night, this really is an area that never sleeps with glitzy nightclubs keeping people up until the wee hours of the morning.
