No. 43 in the world · November 2026
Fu Chun Xiaolong
No. 43The one to order
Pork xiao long bao and a bowl of wonton soup
A Shanghai standby since 1959, cheap and crowded, and sweeter than Taipei's, the way Shanghai likes them.
Make it at home
Xiao long bao (soup dumplings)
6 hr (mostly chilling the jelly), about 1 hr 15 min hands-on · About 32 dumplings, 4 people. The soup inside is a jellied stock folded into the filling cold; it melts in the steamer. Make the jelly the day before and the rest is a long, happy afternoon of pleating.
