The food was amazing and according to my mother who is Shanghainese, very authentic. The server was helpful pointing out one dish was quite spicy and checked if we wanted chilies to be reduced. We asked how they got some hard to find foods like kofu and it turns out the chef made these himself. Parking is a bit challenging with construction outside and restaurant was very empty which was a shame because the food is well worth the effort. Will definitely be back regularly.
I was born and raised in Shanghai. So were my parents and grandparents. I APPROVE this resto.
Really appreciate their efforts to maintain the authentic SH cuisine.
