This is the first time for dim sum in Austin and I was quite happy with the experience. I walked in around noon and there was a small wait. I was told the wait was around 15 minutes but I was seated in 5. The restaurant is clean, bright, and well thought for dim sum. There was one small area of congestion but other than that, the servers were able to navigate the carts with ease. The first cart arrived within seconds of me sitting down. The only dish I didn't really care for was the sea bass as one side of the bass was extra crispy and I had a burnt aftertaste in my mouth for a while after I ate it. Beyond that, everything was lovely - sticky rice, Chinese broccoli, etc. I especially loved the mango shrimp. Right after I sat down, I saw the dessert cart. I didn't pick anything from it because I wasn't ready for desert. I wish I had because I never saw that cart again. I wish the carts had more variety - it seemed that many of them had the same things on there. It could be that I got there on the tail end of lunch and they were out. I paid $48 - food and tip as I ordered water. A bit pricey; however, I should have enough leftovers for two more lunches.

this place is always packed on sunday for dim sum with a huge variety of people. those who know dimsum very well and people who have never had it. Its clean, freshly made, service is great but they will not seat you until your party is all there and the wait is usually 15-45 minutes. BUT ITS WORTH IS... not expensive either

I love this place. They have the tastiest, most fresh dim sum in Austin, I've tried just about every other place that serves dim sum in town. While some of the other places offer more variety, and some other unique dishes, Shanghai is the most consistent, fresh, fast and affordable. I do wish they had some kind of garlic battered shrimp (the one thing I miss from T&S)
