Solid place for some tasty Shanghai food!Steamed Pork Dumplings (xiaolongbao):- large balls of pork filling, but the meat texture was a little coarse- juicy with a nice thin skinSalty Pork & Tofu in Soup:- many chunks of pork belly that had balanced fatty and lean parts- delicious and perfectly salty- it was missing bamboo shoots, which is listed in its descriptionBraised Pork with Veg (Dong Po Rou):- well-balanced flavour with succulent fat caps- came with four mini mantou which I wish were largerBraised Sherd Eel- sauce was so umami and thick, best paired with white rice- eel was very different than Japanese unagi in comparison, it was quite firm and dense- not much eel flavour in itself, the sauce does most of the heavy liftingOverall a nice place for Shanghai cuisine, and is comparable or better than the more well-known Din Tai Fung across the street. Our dinner came out to about $27.5 per person, which is reasonable for a sumptuous meal.

The restaurant was quite busy when we went there. However, we were able to get our food in a timely manner. The server was kind enough to go through the menu and provide different options. The food was a delight and is highly recommended.

My family and I have come here since they opened year ago. They have downsized the restaurant. But the food is still very good. If you like “ Ding Tai Fung “ type of cuisine, then this is the place for you. The food and flavours here are just as good as DTF across the way here.Happy Eats everyone ?Parking: It is difficult to find a spot in front of the restaurant. You will need to park a bit further down the lot and you will be fine.

The lunch special was surprisingly good. It is worth trying.

Came here hoping to get some delicious Shanghai food....... what I got was discounted grocery chinese food. Everything is super oilly, portion size are extremely small, and the taste is nothing like before. Most likely will close down in a few weeks. So sorry.
We went here on Thursday night for dinner and while the food was decent, the service was terrible. The two waitresses there were not welcoming and kept placing the food in the corner and sides of the table, out of our reach. This was not a good experience and I would not recommend this place to anyone or come back here anymore myself.

Went here for dinner and we loved it! We had been to this spot many years ago for a family birthday but not recently (as there are just so many endless restaurants to try) and are glad we returned. The service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious and well priced. We ordered the pork and crab soup dumplings which were savoury and warming. The scallion pancakes were crusty yet doughy and perfectly balanced. The braised pork was fatty and sumptuous. We look forward to returning soon and trying more!
Too pricey while the food is nothing special , wouldn’t recommend. People spend an average $50 for mediocre Chinese food.

My family and I decided to take a few guests who are visiting out of town to dinner at this establishment and it was terrible experience.The staff was rude and full of attitude. We have someone in the family that does not speak Cantonese. We told the waitress that this individual does not speak Cantonese and apologized as she did not receive a response. She turned around and told the rest of the staff in Cantonese that the person is ( translated to ) a barbarian who is of Asian decent but doesn’t speak the language.This has soured the entire dinner experience for the evening.The food was not bad and we would give it a 7.5/10.We will not be returning to this location. I would encourage your staff to smile a little more and work on your mannerisms. Your job as a server is to serve your guests. If that is too much to ask for then don’t expect any gratuity at the end of the meal.
