Shanghai Dumpling House
★ 4.6 · 420 reviews Tampa Opened December 2025
Handmade soup dumplings near USF
Soup dumplings used to mean a drive across the bay to Brandon. Now they're a walk from campus, on the strip of restaurants that feeds USF.
The kitchen traces back to a small operation in West Tampa before this location grew the concept. Dumplings, noodles and a short dessert menu make up most of it, closed only on Tuesdays.

Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we sat down, everything was top-notch. Carolina was an amazing server—friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome throughout the entire meal. The restaurant itself was absolutely impeccable—spotlessly clean with a modern, inviting atmosphere. Every dish came out piping hot and packed with flavor. The spicy wontons had the perfect kick, the house special stir-fried udon were savory and delicious, the sautéed green beans were fresh and perfectly seasoned (my favorite), and the pan-fried pork, shrimp, and cabbage dumplings were crispy on the outside with a juicy, flavorful filling. The spring rolls were golden, crunchy, and hot. It’s clear they take pride in both their food and their service. Every bite was outstanding, and the attention to detail made the entire experience memorable. We are foodies and this will be one of our new frequent dinner spots. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

Our food was delicious for the most part. Service was very quick and our waitress was attentive. We only waited for about 5 minutes before they started to bring out our food. Regarding the fried or pan fried items, they did taste like the oil was reused too many times on previous dishes, but that is an easy fix. Our favorite item was definitely the pork and shrimp wontons in chili sauce! They were phenomenal.

This place is amazing! I love the pan fried pork buns! the best thing on the menu. And the drinks are just the right amount of flavor and sweetness! Yoyo is the sweetest and always has a smile on her face! as well as other staff. If you haven’t tried this place you need too! it will blow your mind:)!!

Finally decided to try this place out after seeing it a few times since it opened. The braised beef noodle soup was pretty good though it was a little light in noodles. The fried rice was also pretty good. The baos were ok, not really impressed as they tasted fairly similar to frozen ones I bought at the supermarket. They don’t taste bad I just couldn’t tell if they were made from scratch. I’d recommend give it a try if in the area.
