I called a couple of weeks in advance, reserved a table, and ordered the foods for 12 people. Chef Jeff discussed each dish with me on the phone. I like the fact that Jeff shopped for the fresh ingredients after he received the orders. When I and my guests arrived at the restaurant at 6:30 PM tonight, the foods were served exactly as planned, one course after another. We had, in the following order, the smoked fish, marinated gluten, steamed pork dumplings (xiao long bao), pan fried buns, egg rolls, stir-fried shrimps, fish filet soup, braised pork shoulder, spare ribs with sweet and sour sauce, rice with salted pork belly and green veggie, stir-fried pork liver, steamed baby cabbage with ham, and finally the sweet wine soup with rice balls as dessert. Everything was exquisitely prepared and super-delicious. The xiao long bao are better than those in most Ding Tai Feng stores in the world. I have had Shanghainese dishes served in New York, Toronto, LA, San Francisco, Taipei and Shanghai. Jeff’s interpretation of Shanghainese food is definitely one of the best I have ever experienced! After dinner, I and my friends continued to sit at the table and chatted for an hour. Jeff and his wife stopped by occasionally to replenish our tea pots and to make friendly small talks, but never tried to rush us to vacate our table. It was an absolutely enjoyable dinner experience!

I rarely leave reviews but all 5 menu items we shared at the table might have been in the top 5 for each plate I have ever had. I eat out at least 5 times a week for the last 10 years across the USA and Europe. It’s just two people custom cooking your meal and serving you. Food comes out ever few minutes and you have to order ahead. It’s a true experience. This might be one of the best restaurants in the Midwest .

The food was phenomenal. My family and I shared 7 different dishes and each one was incredible. I can't imagine why anyone would leave a negative review. The soup dumplings were amazing, as was the shrimp, flounder, duck, veggie stir-fry, veggie dumplings, and fish maw soup. My whole family loved it and everyone was so nice. I'll 100% go back again. I've never had such good food, of any nationality

Pricey but good. Call to reserve. Best Chinese in Michigan. Duck and xiao long bao are amazing.

I didn't eat here. Call ahead to have full menu options according to their sign on the door. Hours of Operation aren't correct either. But, in my opinion it's places like this that are going to be amazing. I cannot wait to execute this operation with better preparation next time because everyone around there says it's amazing and worth the extra steps.Every penny they charge goes into food prep and quality. Not a fancy exterior; just doing what you pay them to do. This will be a gem, I guarantee it.
BEST DUMPLINGS I'VE EVER HAD....YOU MUST MAKE A RESERVATION WITH YOUR ORDER AT LEAST 1 DAY IN ADVANCE OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT BE SERVED AND YOU MIGHT MAKE JEFF CRANKY ? HE IS OTHERWISE VERY

SO GOOD!! Probably the best asian food I’ve had since I spent 5X more money in Manhattan.Don’t walk in expecting a typical Chinese restaurant, make a reservation and order your food the day before. This is authentic Asian cuisine!!
