小杨生煎 (Xiǎo Yáng Shēngjiān)

Quick bite

The chain that since 1994 popularised the unleavened, thin-skinned, very soupy shengjian, now everywhere in Shanghai. Traditionalists debate it, so eat one here and one at Da Hu Chun to taste the two schools.

Good to know

  • Bite a small hole and sip the broth first: these buns are the soupiest in town
  • Nomfluence notes many Shanghainese prefer older styles; treat it as a comparison stop
