Apr 16, 2026"It was a Saturday night without the kids so we decided to go for some shanghai food. We had heard a lot of good things about Wang’s so decided to go there. The restaurant has limited seating. We waited maybe 20 minutes for a table. The servers were friendly enough for a busy fast paced restaurant. The tea was hot. We ordered the standards. Beef roll, steamed pork buns (xiao lung bao), pan fried pork buns and a sliced beef noodle soup. The food came out quickly. Even fastest than restaurants in HK. Everything was fresh and hot. The fried and steak pork buns were both soupy. The sliced beef was seasoned well. The beef roll was good too. Definitely worth checking out."

Apr 16, 2026"Another one of my favourite eateries. I always get their soup dumplings and pan fried meat baos that are filled with yummy soup. Their noodles and rice dishes are also delicious. The prices are very reasonable. It’s a very small, cash only restaurant so during busy eating times, expect a longer waiting time."

Mar 29, 2026"The item you have to get here is their pan fried buns which are super delicious with a soft fluffy top, crusted bottom, meaty center, and soup inside too which may explode when you bite into it so be careful not to burn yourself. There are long line up’s to get in so it’s quite a popular place but the food is quite good and worth it. The pan fried dumplings are also tasty. The soup dumplings (XLB)s are too thin and fragile and break when you pick them up spilling out the soup so it would be better if they lined the steamer with a thin slice of carrot or daikon to make it easier to pick up. The wontons were solid."
