A hole in the wall. The food was delicious! Super small restaurant and everything is in Chinese. You can request for an English menu but I feel like it doesn’t show everything listed in the Chinese menu. They have a vip card that you can purchase for $20 which gives you discounts on each of the dishes. The servers were nice and tried to explain things to the best of their abilities.

Probably this is the most authentic and delicious Shanghais cuisines outside Shanghai (given that I went to Shanghai more than 100 times)

It is our favorite restaurant which has very unique and tasty dishes from southern part of China. The price is at the higher end, but they have many yummy dishes that are not available anywhere else in Greater Toronto Area. Everything we ordered was full of flavors, service was consistent, sometimes can be a little slow, the interior and music are vibrant, elegant and pleasant. They recently launched membership, which we signed up, which gives access to cheaper price and afternoon tea options. We are delighted to see the price came down due to the membership option and we will probably go back more often.

Food 4/5
Service 3.5/5
Vibe 3/5

Its known for their authentic shanghaiese food, so i decided to give them a try as i was cravings xlb 小笼包 and fatty belly meat 红烧肉.

Def need to make reservation, and its a relatively smaller reso. I would say 4-6 people is max… if more, it will be quite challenging to chitchat.

I would highly recommend their steam pork buns and lobster with spicy and crispy bites 避风塘龙虾. Their stinky tofu, salty duck and pork belly was alright.

Overall 4/5. Greatful i tried them, but not sure ill come back🤣
P.S. their pricing are a bit more expensive than other reso, but they are known for their “authentic” ways for making each dish. So you can be the judge~

everything not bad but too expensive. The meat loaf costing over 30 is ridiculous

This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Toronto. Credit to the chef and owner for creating an experience that feels both authentic and nostalgic. Each dish is a perfect reflection of the flavors from Shanghai and Suzhou—genuine tastes you won’t find anywhere else in Eastern Canada. The quality of the food alone could hold its own in China. Beyond the food, the service is impeccable, with thoughtful touches that really elevate the experience. The staff continuously refills your teapot and refreshes your bone plate midway through the meal. Fresh flowers adorn the table, adding a beautiful, personal touch. These details set this place apart from other Chinese restaurants.
P.s. I enjoy the artistic calligraphy menu.

Authentic Shanghai Nanjing cuisine in Toronto. The stewed meatball is the best dish for tonight (showed at the corner of second image) it is gone too fast on the table and everyone loves it.

Ordered and assortment of Shanghai/Suzhou styke dishes. Each dish was very fresh and had an authentic taste that stands out amongst other restaurants serving similiar food across Richmond Hill and Markham.

The decor, notably the Santa statue out front in the middle of August may appear odd. However, this mismatch of decorations add a homestyle/welcoming charm.

Service was great with servers being very attentive to clearing the table, filling up tea and bringing the food out in a timely manner.
