My son was craving pork belly, and my Shanghai-born, Shanghai-raised nephew recommended this Shanghai-style restaurant. The food was delicious and truly authentic.

Very good Shanghai dishes
The food was very good. But imo not very worth the price. Also note that certain dishes are very oily. Don't drink cold water after eating here.
Shanghai Shikumen Fine Cuisine (Markham) offers a delightful dining experience with its diverse menu of Shanghainese and Huaiyang cuisine. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings), pork belly, and tender, juicy duck are highlights, while the house special pan fried bun and steamed pork bun also receive praise. The Egg Braised meatball, known for its tenderness and flavor, along with Stir Fried Pork Liver, is recommended as a must-try. The restaurant features a unique tomato and shrimp crispy rice crust that balances sweet and sour flavors. Although parking can be challenging, especially on weekends, the overall ambiance reflects an old Shanghai feel, which many guests appreciate. The service is solid, and staff members speak the Shanghai dialect. The presentation of dishes is noted as good. Some dishes, like the Lotus Root (桂花糖藕), received mixed reviews, with some guests finding it a bit mushy, while others enjoyed the Shanghai Style Rice Cake (上海炒年糕) with a score of 8 out of 10. Although one reviewer mentioned that the food was a bit too salty compared to experiences in Shanghai, the quality of ingredients is considered better than similar restaurants in Beijing. Overall, this restaurant is a recommended destination for those seeking an authentic taste of Shanghai.
