There are many idiots rating this place low for no reason. The foods were all very flavorful and delicious. The waitresses were all very friendly and kind. We ordered the braised pork belly with the preserved vegetables, eggplant and beef, as well as the Kung Pao chicken. I recommend every one of them, they were all great.

Overall good Shanghainese restaurant. Portions are quite big and well worth the price - dishes are yummy but not exceptional.
First, for the Shanghai grilled pork buns (sheng jian bao), it is written on the menu that there are 6, but they actually serve 8. They are good, but not exceptional. Solid among of juice and flavor, but kind of doughy. Still recommend though.
Next, for the Shanghai grilled beef bun, they are also quite good.
The braised noodles with onion sauce is delicious, but it definitely is quite greasy - you can’t taste the grease, but it is quite visible on your plate afterwards. Sauce is delicious though, full of onion flavor and not too salty. Still recommend trying though.

Route person?

Have been a frequent visitor to this restaurant. Food is always good and all the staffs and aunties are super friendly.
However, the owner of this restaurant does not allow their staffs to turn on the AC during the heat wave (around 102F degree weather for the whole weekend fyi). Not only are the customers sweating excessively (the aunties are super sweet and offered us takeout box lids to use as handheld paper fans to cool down) under the unnecessary indoor heat conditions, the staffs also have to work under the absurd heat, which would be a potential health hazard. I feel sorry for them.

I just had the Kung pao noodle soup. It was so unexpectedly delicious. I love things a little sweet. It has the perfect amount of sweetness, spiciest, vegetables and a fabulous broth. The staff are so friendly, they even offered to add broth so I could take home the remaining of my noodles. I love this place. I’m going to bring, my son here for sure. He loves Asian noodles!

This restaurant has gotten my same order wrong at least 5 times. We tell them over the phone to have fried dumplings but thrice in a row they've given us boiled ones. Completely ridiculous. By the time we arrive home, it's too late to change it.

We originally were regulars of tasty noodle in cerritos and loved it. I think this one is the original and just as good

Portions are big so for 15-17$ you can have leftovers. And they help to pack the rest of your dish to go. In the picture 2 dishes - chicken fried rice and combo fried rice so you can see that the rice looks and tastes differently so that is a little bit of confusion. But there's a good correlation between price and quality.

Parking: It's on Culver plaza so plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: there is a big selection of dishes so definitely your kid won't be hungry

The moment you step inside, you'll get a free nose workout because the place doesn't smell great. Pro tip: just order pickup if you're planning to eat from here.

Food is good. The grilled pork bun is recommended.
