I sat in the booth in Shanghai 21 across from my big bro, and took in an ambiance that ticked many boxes for a legendary Chinese spot: Cash only signs littering the oddly colored green walls, traditional looking tablecloths, beat up tile floors and furniture, servers that don't really engage with you and whose 2nd language is english, and a huge overwhelming menu that could swallow you if you get too deep into it.

I was ready for battle, as I read the reviews...

Each plate demonstrates both skill and creativity. This employee showed chattiness with many restaurant guests. You'll find good quality in everything they make. Staff members exceeded expectations and the place sits in an ideal area. No place matches this consistency.

Even after all these years, this is still and forever my absolute go to soup dumpling spot in Chinatown! I can't believe my last review was 12 years ago - time flies, but the quality here hasn't changed.

The tea that’s served here is also very fragrant just the way I like it too!

I remember use to coming here at least once a month.
