Awesome excellent service
I ordered lotus root, mapo tofu, and white rice. The lotus was sweet with no other perceptible flavor and was undercooked. The white rice was overcooked and clumpy with little grain definition. The mapo tofu has a good balance of umami, numbing, and heat. It was a little too saucy, but overall a perfectly fine mapo tofu.
Food was delicious, service was quick, and vibes were off the charts.

Grandma's Home (外婆家) offers an authentic Shanghainese dining experience in a beautifully decorated setting. The menu features a range of traditional dishes, including Hong Shao Rou, crispy chicken, and steamed fish, all prepared with fresh ingredients and presented with care. Standout dishes include the crispy duck, paired with a special sweet noodle sauce, and the sesame balls, with a crispy outer shell and soft, glutinous rice filling. The preserved eggs are also a highlight, with a unique texture and authentic flavor.
The service is quick, and the interior is nicely decorated with artwork on the walls, beautiful lights, and a cozy, dim atmosphere. The place offers a dumpling sampler and fried fish, as well as fun cocktails. The Braised Duck Leg with Five Spice is tender and richly seasoned, while the Choy Sum with Dried Shrimp adds freshness, and the Ju Ju Bao has savory and spicy notes. For dessert, the Mango Pomelo Sago is light and refreshing.
The decor is cozy and nostalgic, with warm lighting and traditional touches. Customers praise the immersive decor, honoring Chinese culture, and the intentional tableware with chopstick rests carved to represent the 12 different animals from the Chinese zodiac. The food is described as homey yet unique, with a modern twist on classic dishes. The seafood fried rice and the black pepper, pork belly, and salted yolk dishes are particularly praised.
