Looking to chow down on some Shanghainese fare? A new spot has you covered. Called Tiny Shanghai, the new addition is located at 122 Mulberry St. (between Canal St & Walker St) in Little Italy .

This newcomer—which has two other outposts, Shanghai Asian Cuisine and Shanghai Asian Manor in the city, as well as Shanghai Cuisine 33 in Flushing—specializes in xiaolongbao, "a juicy dumpling filled with steamed pork and a tasty soup broth," according to its website. 

Beyond the soup dumplings, expect to see dishes like pork chop with noodles in soup, Japanese-style curry ramen and crispy whole yellow fish with chili sauce. (The Tiny Shanghai menu hasn't been added to the site just yet, but you can take a look at its other locations to get an idea of what's in store here.)

Tiny Shanghai has garnered rave reviews thus far, with a five-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp.

Esther Y., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on February 15th, said: "Great food, I happened to pass this place while wandering, but I'm glad I stopped by. The place is new, so it was very clean and modern inside. The staff were nice and the food fresh and hot."

Yelper Stephanie S. added: “We walked past and saw that they were newly opened and popped in to try their xiaolongbao. The restaurant is clean and the service was good.”

And Elena T. said: "Friendly staff, delicious food. If you go there, try their green tea. They have a couple more locations, but this one is pretty good. Best time to go is for lunch, since there are not too many people."

Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Tiny Shanghai is open daily from 11:30am–10pm.
