Shanghai Shikumen Fine Cuisine

Decent Shanghainese restaurant at First Markham Place. There is a good variety of food that appeals to the Shanghainese palette. The food though was a bit too salty in my view when compared to what I’ve had in Shanghai.

In terms of quality of ingredient they use, it is way better than the same restaurant back in Beijing. They have a very close cooking technique compared to the location in China. Probably the best Shanghainese cuisine restaurant I had in Canada.

We are looking for a Shanghai cuisine restaurant and saw this one. Among 5 dishes we ordered, we gave 5 out of 10 to Lotus Root(桂花糖藕), 8 to Shanghai Style Rice Cake (上海炒年糕), 6.5 to Bamoo Shoot, 7 to Hot and Sour soup and 7 to Pork Bun (小笼包). Lotus Root is a bit disappointing as it doesn’t taste like the dish I grew up with - a bit mushy and doesn’t have that sweet yet not too rich (甜而不腻) taste.

Service is solid and atmosphere is decent. We went before dinner rush so the place is still pretty quiet.

I always knew this place existed but for some reason never tried it.

Decided to spluge a little and try this traditional Shanghainese fine cuisine restaurant.

Ordered some very interesting but yummy foods and it came relatively fast and fresh

We had this really interesting crispy rice tomatoes dish, check out my video! Their fried duck is also very good along with the drunkin chicken!

The decor is meant to look dated and traditional and the chairs are super hard rose wood.

Worth a try!

OH MY GOD....Ordered 7 dishes, not a single one is good.... either over fried or over stewed... I mean it is to an extent that I can tell its not good by first bite even when I was really hungry.... you just made my black list for being too much to handle....

This is one of very few Shanghai dishes restaurants in Toronto. Disregard some of the reviews on the internet, we found it to be surprisingly good. The interior is a little bit out of dated, but it gives a feel of old Shanghai which we like. The service is better than we anticipated, efficient and simple, the waitress/ store manager can speak Shanghai dialect, which is a plus. The food we tried is the Egg Braised meatball $21.99 very tender and not too salty, the veggies inside is so yummy, although we never tasted egg inside meatball in Shanghai, we liked it. Stir Fried Pork Liver $18.99 is so good, it is so tender and the source is tasty, must try. Tomato and shrimp crispy rice crust $21.99, it is nice combination of sweet and sour, crispy and soft texture. House special pan fried bun $9.99 is what we aim for, consistently good. Steamed pork bun $9.99 is also very yummy, must order item every time. Overall, it is a very decent Shanghai food restaurant which is worth trying.

I came here specifically to eat the fried eel paste. The Malantou and sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root were unexpected, but I was really disappointed with the scallion noodles and pan-fried noodles.
