The taste is okay. The lunch plates are good but the regular menu is not worth the price. The serving is very small. I was surprise that the $10 plate of fried rice alone is just the same amount on lunch plates (given that lunch plate is around that price too). My husband and I spent $100+ to try different dishes but we're not happy. We might still go for the lunch plates but never the regular menus again.

Love this cozy little Shanghainese restaurant, the atmosphere is cute. The food was half and half on how I felt about it, but most of it was really good! The Shanghai dumplings were juice, but I don’t think I’d necessarily call them soup dumplings. They definitely don’t give you a spoon or chopsticks like they would for soup dumplings. I’d give them a 3.5 out of 5. For the lunch special we tried three different mains. The green beans reminded me exactly of what I’ve eaten in China, but the potatoes were just French fries..? I’d still rate it a 5 out of 5 because the sauce was amazing on it too! The kung po was good, and I’d order it again, but I think it was just slightly above average. My friend liked the orange chicken, but it was not for me. Kind of dry, and on the sweeter side. I don’t like orange chicken in general though. And the fried rice was pretty standard. We also tried the passion fruit boba, and I liked the base but I did not like the boba itself. It was undercooked so it was kind of hard. We also got barley tea and it wasn’t as dark as I like, tasted like it might be a blend, but it was hot and it’s hard to argue with that on a chilly day.
