Decent food but the service was a little bit disorganized. I only saw two people working to service like 12 tables for a busy Friday night and they have put the wrong dishes onto my table twice. The dried tofu appetizer (四喜烤麸) had the right taste and flavor but was a little bit too hard. It is supposed to be softer but still chewy. The shanghai style veggie rice (菜饭) was well-done, savory and with the authentic smoked pork meat! The spicy eel (鳝鱼) was also quite nice! I need to bring my Shanghainese friend here for an ultimate judge next time.

Lunch combo comes with 2 items, choice of carbs, and soup! Great prices, friendly service, and fresh delicious food. Also vegetarian friendly — they even use different serving utensils for vegetarian items.

We loved this place, very authentic Chinese food. It was our first time here. Staff as friendly and accommodating. We ordered for take out, got the cucumber garlic, eggplant, beef with onion, bean curd with pork, and chicken corn soup, also a side a white rice. Everything was freshly made and delicious. We will absolutely order from here again.

Lunch box 1130am-230pm. 10-15$ depending if 2-4 items. Owner very generous. Will fill your box beyond what it costs to make it. Also can go after closing where they doing prep for the next day. Great duck and pork legs you can get fresh out of the oven.

My partner is from Shanghai and they say the food is very authentic. Both owners and chefs are Shanghainese. We ordered some classic Shanghai dishes like spare ribs and rice cakes, 8 treasures sauce (you can order it as a single dish rather than with noodles), and fish filet with imitation crab! They are definitely different from the traditional Chinese version but this restaurant made their own version tasty as well with local ingredients!

I was very surprised by the food quality and items they have on offer. I live nearby but never came in because I thought the food here would be another one with offers of many heavy fried dishes. I wished that I came by to try here earlier than now. The food is authentic and tasty. All those times I'm looking for good casual Chinese places but have to settle for something below par? Well, no more, I will just come here instead.

I'm trying to reduce starches for lunch and this place was perfect. I had the two item lunch, no noodles or rice. It came with a cup of soup. All for less than $15. Best part is it is delicious. The curry reminds me of a pumpkin curry. The soup might have been egg flower. I'm not sure. It wasn't salty and I would like another
