From the noodles, to the dim-sum, to the dinner plates, it is clearly a Shanghainese restaurant that should brand it more clearly as such because there is a clear lack of these in Calgary. The food tastes authentic - not the best I've tried by a mile, but having lived in Vancouver and been to Shanghai it's hard to top that. The only major knock I have is in the Shanghai dumplings, which while the wrapping was solid and the broth was excellent, the actual meat is consistently too "mushy".
However, decent Shanghai food in Calgary for good prices is very hard to find and for that it deserves a strong four stars. The place is also tidy and clean with a solidly designed menu that contains pictures of most of the items.
I'm also not sure what is so "deplorable" about the service according to another review, as having been here three times I've always been served and catered to reasonably and as expected.
