On a windy day, it's harder to open the door and get all your food chilled as people walk in and out...they do have outdoor seating for better weather days. Shanghai fried buns are the specialty here, and from a Shanghai visitor, they're pretty authentic, thin-skinned, a lot of juice, and crispy bottoms. The scallion oil noodles are good on their own, and the pork chop left something to be desired and don't add much to the main dish as it didn't match the flavor well (the minced spicy pork came out cold - was better when they warmed it up on the wok). Self-bus the tables.

My new favorite spot for a casual Chinese takeout. Heard so many good things about this place, and I finally got to try their takeout. Although there are so many good fast-casual wonton and noodle spots popping up, this one had the best deal for the price. More importantly, nearly everything I’ve tried from the menu was excellent. Favorites: Pan Fried buns, Chili Oil Wonton, Braised Pork Chop Noodles Solid: Scallion Oil Noodles, Shanghai Cold Wonton, Spicy Minced Pork Noodles Their signature Shanghai Pan-fried buns were definitely my favorites—crispy bottoms, juicy fillings, and packed with flavor. Even without much experience with pan-fried buns, I could tell these were something special. The Chili Wontons, too, were really good with the right balance of acidity and savoriness. Then, the Braised Pork Chop Noodles. Despite the pork chop getting a bit soggy in the soup, it was oddly satisfying—tender, flavorful, and retaining its rich marinade. The Spicy Minced Pork Noodles, while milder in seasoning, were still comforting and enjoyable.
