Shanghai 21 To-Go Menu
Bring the authentic flavors of Shanghai home with Shanghai 21's complete takeout menu. Our carefully packaged to-go options preserve the delicate textures and rich flavors that have made us a Chinatown landmark since our founding. Each dish is prepared fresh to order using the same family recipes and premium ingredients that generations of New Yorkers have come to love.
Signature Dumplings & Dim Sum
Start your meal with our award-winning soup dumplings (xiao long bao), available in classic pork ($8.95 for 8), luxurious crab and pork ($11.95 for 8), or indulgent black truffle varieties ($14.95 for 6) – each meticulously wrapped by hand to maintain their signature soup-filled centers during transit. Our special packaging technique includes individual compartments to prevent sticking and custom ventilation to preserve texture. Complement your dumplings with our crispy scallion pancakes ($5.95) made with 18 delicate layers of dough, tender Szechuan wontons (8 for $8.95) in our house-made chili oil infused with 12 different spices, or pan-fried tiny buns with pork (8 for $9.95) featuring a perfectly crisp bottom and fluffy top.
Main Courses & Specialties
Our extensive menu features over 100 authentic Shanghainese specialties prepared according to traditional methods. House favorites include our melt-in-your-mouth braised pork belly ($18.95) slowly simmered for 4 hours in a rich soy-based sauce with star anise and rock sugar, crispy whole fish in sweet and sour sauce ($28.95) with a delicate balance of tangy and sweet notes, and our renowned lion's head meatballs ($19.95) made from hand-chopped pork shoulder seasoned with ginger and Shaoxing wine, braised to perfection in a savory broth with Napa cabbage.
Rice, Noodles & Classic Sides
Choose from fragrant rice dishes like our Shanghai fried rice ($14.95) with egg, shrimp, and barbecued pork, or chewy Shanghai rice cakes ($15.95) stir-fried with shredded pork and preserved vegetables. Noodle lovers can enjoy our hand-pulled noodle soup with beef ($14.95), featuring 12-hour simmered bone broth, or our signature stir-fried noodles with chicken ($14.50) tossed in our special soy-based sauce.
Vegetarian & Dietary Options
Vegetarian options abound with delicate steamed vegetable dumplings (8 for $9.95) filled with spinach, mushrooms, and glass noodles, sautéed seasonal greens like Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce ($13.95), spicy Mapo tofu without meat ($14.95), and flavorful Buddha's delight ($16.95) with 10 different vegetables. Most dishes can be adjusted for dietary restrictions upon request.
Family Feasts & Combination Packages
Family-style combination packages are available for groups of 2 ($38.95), 4 ($72.95), or 6+ ($95.95), each including a balanced selection of appetizers, main dishes, and sides – perfect for celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying a quality meal at home. Our "Shanghai 21 Feast" ($128.95) offers a premium banquet experience with our most celebrated dishes.
Every to-go order comes with complimentary premium chopsticks, our signature dipping sauces in leak-proof containers, garnishes packaged separately to maintain freshness, and detailed reheating instructions tailored to each dish.
