Shanghai River Restaurant

Very delicious food. My girlfriend and I enjoyed every dish!

this place shouldnt be famous for their 小籠包(steamed dumplings) but for their 奶油龍蝦伊麵/ lobster cream based sause noodles cuz O MY GOSH ITS THE BEST ONE IVE HAD AT A RESTAURANT in a LOOONNG TIME. tell me why the lobster was so sweet (in a fresh seafood way) and the noodles were cooked to perfection, soaked in the sauce that has the lobster's juices in it, making it addictive to eat. even the onions were fried well and browned before being put into this dish, making this dish a solid 5/5

however their other stuff was mid- their fried taro duck tasted normal- just the classic five spice flavoured duck with not rly seasoned taro paste, accompanied with a sauce that tastes like diluted oyster sauce and dark soy. 3/5

their famous 小籠包 had the right amount of fat to meat ratio, right amount of soup, and the right texture. it just tastes normal but a bit above avrg 3.5/5

however their eggplant dish tasted like panda express with half the sugar... however it isnt drowning in oil at the least 1/5

overall 3.9/5

Pig ear and drunken chicken is quite good.

There are only two delicious things, fresh meat dumplings and fried dough sticks. The quality of the fried dough sticks has been a bit unstable recently, and I hope it can be improved. In addition, the hygiene and service have begun to decline. Not to mention the dirty tableware, I don’t feel good about asking them to change it: :(

My friends dad took 5 of us here for dinner since he's been a regular here for many years. Very busy here on a Friday night with ppl still lining up at the door on a heavy rainy night. Everything we ordered was delicious. The one dish I've never tried was the salted pork on rice in stone pot. Very tasty. I definitely will bring my wife and kids here one day.

All the dishes we ordered were disappointing. One of the dishes was with pork belly but there were only a couple slices of pork belly in the dish everything else was cabbage and tofu. Another dish we ordered was fish with vinegar but we can’t hardly taste any vinegar in that dish. The fish had too much gravy. The chicken with ham were also taste horrible. The ham was too salty and the few pieces of chicken were overcooked. The overall experience was bad and unpleasant. How did this place earn the Best Shanghai food award??? We shall never go back again.

We had the dinner set for four which includes duck, fish and crab ect.
Our waiter was friendly but the food was underwhelming and salty.
I've heard great things about the restaurant previously so maybe ordering a variety of options instead of taking the set for four would have been a better idea.

Might not go back to find out as the price was steep. Over 80$ per person.

We had 3 servers interact with us throughout the dinner. 2 were very helpful and polite but one server was incredibly rude.
