🥟 LJ Shanghai | A Taste of Authentic Shanghai in Pittsburgh

Nestled in the heart of Pittsburgh's diverse dining scene, LJ Shanghai is a beloved destination for those craving the delicate, soup-filled wonders and refined flavors of Eastern Chinese cuisine. This unassuming spot has earned a loyal following by specializing in the art of Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) and other classic Shanghai dishes, offering a genuine and satisfying culinary journey. ✨ The LJ Shanghai Experience: The atmosphere is casual and functional, with the focus squarely on the food emerging from the kitchen. The undisputed stars are the Steamed Soup Dumplings (XLB)—delicate, pork-filled parcels bursting with hot, savory broth. Beyond XLB, the menu shines with dishes like Shanghai Fried Noodles (thick, chewy noodles with pork and vegetables), savory Pan-Fried Pork Buns (Sheng Jian Bao), and comforting Braised Pork Belly (Hong Shao Rou). Portions are generous, flavors are authentic and balanced (not overly greasy), and the value is excellent. Service is straightforward and efficient. 💬 Short Social Media Caption: “Soup dumpling paradise in Pittsburgh! 🥢 LJ Shanghai’s Xiao Long Bao were perfectly thin-skinned and full of flavorful broth.
