Embassy Kitchen 外滩8号

My former work mom brought me here for lunch. She and her husband are fantastic chefs so I would follow them anywhere because it’s always good. I am trying to understand how anyone could give this place low ratings. This is typical Shanghai food and Shanghai is one of the top food cities in the world in my opinion. The chefs in this kitchen have incredible wok skills and an extremely hot stove. I can’t remember the last time I had string beans this crisp. Same for the shrimp - perfect texture. The eggplant had a crisp skin and soft center. The braised pork you could tell was cooked for a while because the sauce was reduced nicely. The dishes were all simple but cooked to perfection. The flavors were all distinct and delicious. For weekday lunch they have specials. I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes

All the dishes were delicious. However, the decorations need an update, particularly with new carpets.

Portions were a bit small but the food was REALLY GOOD, and honestly made up for the size. The sauce of the braised pork was so delicious, especially with rice, that we had to order it twice! The Xiao long bao were also delicious and the service and atmosphere was great.

For those with a peanut allergy, do be aware that the pan fried pork buns have peanuts in them!

The waiter was very rude. My mother, who is over 80 years old, and I came to have Chinese food. My mother has difficulty walking. She walked into the restaurant step by step and was waiting to be seated. We were supposed to be next. Suddenly five diners came in, and one of them stood up in a swagger. In front of us, the waiter with the seats came over. I said that we had arrived first. She took the five people in without hesitation and said loudly that because there was a big table, there were places for small tables as well. Whoever arrives first will sit first. She didn't even apologize, it was so rude.

Really stunning. Although some dishes are limited by regional ingredients, they still try their best to replicate the taste of local Shanghai cuisine, which is quite good. Must recommend.

Came during lunch, the food is really good, authentic Shanghai dishes. Steam chicken scallion is very flavorful. Tofu skin in tofu skin mung beans is very soft. Fried shrimp is also good. Crab meet noodle you can taste the sea. 佛跳墙 is very nice, ingredients used are what you expected, taste great. Service is excellent, server checked in on us constantly, made sure we got everything, and add water to tea pot without us asking. Plenty of parking in parking lot
