I am disappointed at the quality of food we received from this Shanghai place. Their food quality is way below par. the dumpling skin was thick and chewy, unlike what a typical soup dumplings light and thin skin. We tried both regular pork filling and crab filling. The meat tasted stale and not fresh. The dumplings were under-cooked, as we could tell from the dumpling skin’s raw-ish looking dough. so we ended up eating mostly fillings and left the last few dumplings skins untouched. We also ordered a veggie dish, which we tasted sand (possibly from under-washed?), eggplant dish where the eggplant skins tasted burnt. Dish was oily and spicy? What’s most bizarre dish, the shrimp dumplings, the dumpling skin was made of doughy skin, versus the translucent skin like their menu advertised for (or Ha gao in cantonese). I gave them a 3 star for the service, because the server returned the shrimp dumplings after he saw and agreed that this is not what’s expected. The server had seated us down on one side of the restaurant and later on directed us to move to another table so to accomplish other customers. We still tipped the business 10%, which is more than what they deserved consider only service we had received was so to be served for dishes and returned dish upon we requested. For this so called “hole in the wall” place. other than the ambiance, i cannot say for the quality of the dumplings or the dishes has any advantage competing with any other typical hole in the wall place would serve.

General Tsos chicken is burnt. Beef pan udon has no flavor and is mushy. Young chow fried rice is a hot mess frozen vegetable overload. Soup dumpling is too thick and chewy. The only decent order was the Pea Shoots. Overall we are so disappointed with our dinner order.

Tried the crab soup dumplings, veggie steamed dumplings (see photo) and dumplings in spicy sauce. Soup dumplings are okay. Dumplings in spicy sauce is good, they are more like wanton, i like the spicy sauce. The veggies dumplings wrappers are undercooked and dry, the fillings are nothing to rave about. Not going back.
