The taste of real Shanghainese cuisine
This place is one of those restaurants your glad you found. The food is unique compare to others and so delicious. Highly recommend it!
Shanghai Bamboo House is a modest, authentic Shanghainese-style restaurant that offers great food at reasonable prices. While the service may be limited, the restaurant's focus is on serving delicious Shanghai dishes that transport diners straight to the heart of the city. Highlights include the tasty rice cakes, the seaweed-wrapped fish, and the duck stuffed with sticky rice, which requires advanced reservation. The braised pig knuckle in brown sauce is also a favorite, known for its tender meat that falls off the bone. Despite some issues with a moldy smell that need to be addressed, Shanghai Bamboo House provides a nostalgic culinary experience that captures the essence of Shanghainese cuisine, making it a go-to spot for those craving a taste of home. However, it is sad to note that the restaurant is permanently closed, as indicated by a sign on the front door stating "renovation." Many customers miss this place for its affordable and great food, which made it a gem in Arcadia.
