Shangmikan Nanxiang Xiaolong has been in business for about 20 years. It currently has three branches in Shanghai, of which the Caoyang Xingshan Road store is the first and the most sought after by diners.
The small cages of the Shangwei restaurant do not look uniform, and when you order a large drawer with 18 cages, you will find that the middle and small cages are close together, and they are a little sticky. The skin of the xiao long is very thin and has good toughness, and when you pick up the xiao long, the soup inside will make the dough droop without breaking. When you bite into it, the soup is fresh but not salty, and the soup is refreshing. The minced meat is powdery white because there is no soy sauce in it, and it feels clean.
The small wontons are another very popular dish at the Shangmikan, and the skin is said to be made to order and the soup is also made from pork bones. The soup is also filled with pork, egg skin, chopped green onions, and some fresh and spicy powder, which will taste even better. The small wontons are a good size and smooth texture, and although the meat filling is not large, it is very beautiful.
The service of Shangwei Restaurant has always been criticized by diners, and the xiao long, small wonton, and noodles must be picked up by themselves, and it is very troublesome because they are not at the same window. Sometimes, the soup and water left by the guests on the table cannot be wiped clean in time.
Since the Xingshan Road store is located in front of the vegetable market, it will be a little noisy, and when it comes to the meal, the diners will increase one after another, but fortunately, there is no need to wait for a table under normal circumstances. It is important to note that there are many diners who like to park their vehicles in front of their doors, so it is best to always be careful during the meal to avoid being ticketed.
