LJ Shanghai was born from a simple but powerful desire: to share the real, authentic taste of Shanghai with Cleveland. Tucked away at 3142 Superior Ave in the heart of AsiaTown, our restaurant opened as a small passion project β and quickly became a beloved institution.
Our owner, LJ, brings the flavors of her Shanghai upbringing to every single dish. Growing up in one of China's most vibrant culinary cities, she learned that food is more than sustenance β it's culture, memory, and love. That philosophy shows in every handmade dumpling, every carefully simmered broth, and every dish that leaves our kitchen.
We are proudly women-owned, family-operated, and deeply committed to authenticity. While other restaurants adapt for local tastes, we stay true to our roots β bold flavors, traditional techniques, and ingredients prepared fresh every single day.
Explore Our Menu βWe don't westernize our recipes. Every dish reflects the true flavors of Shanghai β from the bold chili oils to the delicate dumpling skins.
No shortcuts. Every dumpling is handmade in-house each morning. Our broths are slow-simmered. Our noodles are made to order.
We're part of Cleveland's AsiaTown community. We use reusable tableware, support local suppliers, and welcome every guest like family.
