Paid 198 for the lobster, a total rip off , we were told the lobsters are more than 4 pounds, there is no way it was more than 2 pounds. Whatever it is marked MP, make sure you do not order, the pricing is not transparent and dishonest. Would never come back again.

Food was not too bad. The pan fried buns are coated in sesame seeds on the bottom which adds to the crunch however the inside is very dry. Other dishes were okay. Took off a star for atmosphere as an employee was smoking near an open door.

I came on a weekday for lunch and parking was very easy. I tried a few items and started with chrysanthemum tea which was nice and flavorful.Black pepper steak cubes: served on a skillet with thinly slice onions, the dish was overall pretty good. The beef was tender and the crunch from the skillet made it good.Pan fried buns: the bottom of the buns are coated in sesame seeds and pan fried so as such there was a strong sesame flavor. Inside, the pork was good but the inside was just very dry.Braised (hong shao) tofu: the dish was on the salty end and had some crunchy pieces even though it was a sauce based dish. I think there was too much cornstarch as the sauce was really thick.Service was okay - the chef forgot one item we ordered as it was not transferred over from the printer. There was also a moment when cigarette smoke filled in the whole dining room as I assume someone was smoking by an open door. Overall everything was just okay.

I came here with my parent's Shanghainese friends and loved all of the food. We ordered enough to fill our whole table and the total was much, much less than I expected. I think there was a full meal x 2 we took to go with us because we couldn't eat more.My favorites:* Pork belly (YUM) - pair it with some rice* Crab * I don't remember the name... but it was a mix of noodles, meat, and veggies (in Chinese, it starts with "jiao") * Chrysanthemum TeaThis place is pretty well-lit, lively - your typical Asian sit-down restaurant (think Capital Seafood).Service was solid - never had to wait too long for someone to come by and check on us. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The parking lot isn't well-lit, so if you come at night, keep an eye out!

We came here for lunch to celebrate the arrival of my Mother-In-Law's cousin. After having ordered several dishes, we couldn't decide which soup we should order. We then asked the waitress if she could describe the difference of two soups listed on the menu. After listening to her descriptions, we decided on one of them. Only to find out later, the soup we ordered was exactly the same as the free soup they served at lunch. There's no pre warning nor any explanations from the waitress. I usually love fish, especially when it is steamed and recommended by the waitress. However, it was so fishy, I couldn't even swallow my bite. I was very disappointed.
