Da Hu Chun

About

Da Hu Chun is a time-honored brand representing the 'full-leavened' style of Shengjianbao (pan-fried buns), which differs from the thin-skinned style found at Yang's. Historically established in 1932, it has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship. The sensory experience is nostalgic, featuring a simple, old-school interior where the focus remains on the thick, doughy buns and their meaty, juice-filled centers. Expert recommendation: Pair your buns with a bowl of 'Curry Beef Soup' for the quintessential Shanghainese breakfast experience. Pro Tip: This specific branch near the Bund is popular with locals and tourists alike; expect a short wait during peak hours. Use the self-service kiosks or window to order, and be sure to dip your buns in the local black vinegar to cut through the richness of the pork.
