I have to say it’s a Chinese restaurant that worth to view. It’s rare to see a Chinese restaurant actually treat genuinely well to their customers instead of working for tips.

Truly authentic Shanghai cuisine with extremely reasonable price. Highly recommend to try their Hot and Sour soup, full of flavors, just shows how amazing their skill is. Shoutout to Lee who is such an awesome server. Thanks for making the amazing dinner more enjoyable.

Excellent indeed.

Food is so so so so good. Service is quick and polite.

I tried the steamed shrimp dumplings, spicy chicken fried rice, & pecking duck spring roll. Everything great

Love this place

Went here for the first time today for dinner with my brother. I had the scallion pancake as an appetizer and then the chicken fried rice for my entree. The scallion pancake was very delicious and the chicken fried rice was decent. The staff was very nice and super attentive. The food came out pretty quickly and we did not have to wait too long. While it's not the most modern looking place, there is a certain ambiance to it.

Very disappointed with my experience here, especially coming here after reading all the great reviews. First of all, the food was not good. It wasn’t awful. But comparing it to other Chinese restaurants in the city, it was pretty bad. Second, the interior was very shabby and rundown. Usually, this doesn’t bother me as long as the food is great. But that wasn’t the case. And finally, there were a couple of employees just sleeping on the tables. I understand if they were taking their breaks, but having staff members visibly taking naps on the tables where customers eat, is very unprofessional.

All around great food. Had steamed dumplings and fried also. Had to getthe sesame chicken with noodles and rice because it looked too good not to. Everything tasted fresh! The beer was cold, and the server was very attentive!

We ordered some pork soup dumplings, yam chow fried rice, and mayo tofu. The dumplings were served first, which was the right to do. They tasted fine and the soup was hot. While the fried rice was delicious, the tofu was a bit bland. I guess it’s more of a Shanghainese restaurant than Sichuan. So we could’ve picked on that. But the food was freshly cooked and the service was good. Atmosphere was also alright. Forgot to took the photos of the dumplings and tofu.

The place doesn't look like much from the outside but we had a very enjoyable experience. We stayed at the Motto and needed a late night bite that was walking distance. This place was a cute find. The servers were very very attentive and there was one (red head covering) that went above and beyond. She showed us how to properly eat the soup dumplings and explained the use of the sauces which I thought was very considerate.

Peking Duck spring roll- very tasty
Pork and crabmeat Xiao bao and pork Xiao bao are soup dumplings that had a really nice broth. The dumplings were soft yet firm and did not tear before landing to the spoon.
Spicy Chicken Fried Rice.with XO sauce- the rice comes.out sizzling and was very tasty. We have a pretty good spice tolerance but didn't taste any level of spice in this at all.
Scallion pancakes- pleasantly surprised. Very nice flavor and texture. Not too soggy or dry, just a well made pancake.
