My fav #XLB #小籠包 in Greater Vancouver.
Xiao Long Bao (XLB) 小籠包
Xiao Long Bao is often called "soup dumplings".
I would say Shanghai River has the perfect XLB. Their XLB is juicy, thin-skinned, yet not-prone to breakage, and full of broth inside.
Boiled Soup with Chicken and Pork Wontons 砂鍋雲吞雞
The soup served in a clay pot. It was terrific with chicken breast, lots of baby bok choy and wontons. It was very flavourful.

Would I Return: Yes 🙋♀️
Since we have been here multiple times since my first post, I thought I would write a revisit on it.
This place is a bit upscale but we usually just order the XLB and some noodles, so it’s not that expensive. The set menus and larger dishes are the expensive ones.
Parking has usually been pretty easy. There is an underground parking lot with many reserved spots for the restaurant.
Pan fried pork soft buns: The pork buns are delightfully crispy on the outside. The pork inside was flavourful and juicy. An order comes with 5 buns so it is great to share.
Hello Hello! This past weekend was Mid-Autumn festival and my family decided to have our dinner at Shanghai River. Shanghai River is located directly across from Richmond Centre so it is not a hard place to find. It also has a designated parking lot so you don’t need to worry about paying at the meter.
