I give 5 because I was shocked by how good the fried rice was. It was chicken fried rice and cabbage. When I saw the order, my first thought is did I just spend 25$ for this but then when I ate it, it was best fried rice ever. Maybe they add a lot of MSG but damn it was good!

It supposed to be Shanghai cuisine but actually it doesn’t taste like Shanghai cuisine at all.

The food is fresh and tasty, the service is excellent and fast services. It seems it is good, but the restaurant is ruined by their chairs for customers. The chairs are peeling off the surface. The customers have to sit on it. It means they don’t care about you and me as customers to spend our money to enjoy the food and support the restaurant. The restaurant doesn’t care, they always full house,

Fantastic food if you eat pork. However, there are almost no vegetarian dishes on the menu. Vegetable dishes typically still have meat in them or are cooked in heavy pork fat. There’s no menu available on the website or that can be emailed after phoning the restaurant. eventually the kitchen made some steamed vegetables for our party so they recovered a service star.Vegetarian options: Almost none.Dietary restrictions: Most dishes contain pork or pork fat.

There is lots of parking, facilities are nice, staff are very friendly and helpful!! Lots of room for big parties. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!

Very bad experience. The waiter kept recommending very expensive dishes. At first it was king crab, but luckily I didn’t ask for it. Then he recommended roast duck. Finally, he asked if there were any vegetarian dishes. He recommended a vegetarian dish for more than 50 yuan. I really regret not asking. I trusted the waiter because of the price, which made me embarrassed in front of my friends! Many dishes on the menu have no price tags, the taste of the dishes is not very good, and the portions are pitifully small. My friends in the same industry have unanimously agreed that they will never go to this restaurant again. Everyone must avoid this pitfall! !

I love their Shanghai style dim sum! My all time fav!Staff are polite, friendly and professional.Environment is always clean and pleasant.Thank you!
The beef noodles are average. I don’t know if the pan-fried buns are due to poor appetite or something. The heat is a little off and the skin is a little dry. The radish crisps are good. They are also delicious when used in the air fryer the next day. The pastry is crispy and soft inside.

This place has great soup dumplings. I want to say this rivals Lin's Chinese Restaurant for xlb. I went here for lunch with the work crew and had xlb, spicy fried tofu and the red bean doughnuts. I enjoyed everything. I was also quite surprised at how nice those red bean doughnuts tasted. Some might not like it as it has a rather strong egg flavour to them.

Best Shanghainese Restaurant. Fantastic Service, unsure if you can make reservations. Go earlier than 10 45 am or after 2 pm, to avoid lineups.Must try their infamous steamed dumplings shui long boa, comes regular pork, or crabmeat dumplings. I go for the Best Hot And Sour Soup, can't beat theirs !!!Parking: Assigned Spots for Shanghai River, read signs posted

This place was such a disappointment, especially because most reviews I read prior to going raved about their food. I don't really write reviews, but our vinegar spare ribs (one of their "famed" dishes) came to us completely burnt black. We couldn't taste anything but the burnt aroma. The quality of the meat was also very poor and extremely tough. We had to box it up to throw away at home. Though there are so many waiters and waitresses, none really check up on you or care if you aren't a regular customer. So many better restaurants out there.
