Discover Our Story
Liu’s Shanghai was born from a simple idea: to share the warmth, balance, and authenticity of Shanghainese cuisine with our community in Brooklyn. What began as a love for traditional flavors has grown into a place where food, culture, and people come together around the table.
Rooted in Tradition
Our story starts with the culinary traditions of Shanghai — a city known for its refined flavors, handmade techniques, and deep respect for ingredients. In Shanghainese cooking, food is about harmony rather than intensity, comfort rather than excess.
At Liu’s Shanghai, we honor these traditions by preparing our dishes the way they have been enjoyed for generations. From carefully folded soup dumplings to slow-prepared broths and classic rice dishes, every recipe reflects our commitment to authenticity.
A Home in Brooklyn
While our roots are in Shanghai, our home is Brooklyn. We opened Liu’s Shanghai to create a welcoming space where neighbors, families, and friends could gather and enjoy honest, comforting food.
Brooklyn’s diversity inspires us. Every day, we serve guests from different backgrounds, united by a shared love of good food. This connection between cultures is at the heart of who we are.
Crafted with Care
We believe great food starts with care — care for ingredients, for technique, and for the people we serve. Our kitchen focuses on handmade preparation, balanced flavors, and consistency. We take pride in doing things the right way, even when it takes more time.
This dedication is what gives our dishes their familiar, comforting character and keeps guests coming back.
More Than a Meal
Liu’s Shanghai is more than a restaurant. It is a place where conversations happen, memories are made, and traditions are shared. Whether it’s a family dinner, a casual lunch, or a first visit, we want every guest to feel at home.
Our Story Continues
Our journey is shaped by the community that supports us. With every dish we serve, we continue our story — one rooted in tradition, shaped by Brooklyn, and guided by a love for genuine connection.
Thank you for being part of Liu’s Shanghai.
