| - I came to LJ Shanghai because I'd heard amazing things about their Soup Dumplings and Scallion Noodles. Both of these items were delicious, and I'd absolutely order them again via takeout.
The rest of the things I tried were not so tasty. I tried the spare rib appetizer, the spring rolls, and the Chong Qing Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, and all of these things were very oily or greasy and did not taste fresh.
The ambiance in the restaurant is lacking. The tables are very close together and the use of space is really bad. The service was pretty attentive, and though the waitstaff was nice, we had 4 different servers, our order was wrong, they did not have any of the drinks that are plastered on posters all over the restaurant (which is super confusing), and at the end of our meal, they let us know that they were only accepting cash-- which we were not prepared for. I hope that as time goes on they are able to work this stuff out, because I think this place has potential!
