Came here on a Saturday morning. We were the first ones there so service was quite fast.
Pork dumpling (xiao long bao) $5.25 - you get 4 large soup dumplings. They are much larger in size when comparing with other Shanghai restaurants but I don't think this is really a good thing. I'd rather get 6 smaller sized ones which I can just pop in my mouth whole.
Beef pancake $6.99 - not as good as other places I have tried.
Fried pork buns $5.75 - comes with four buns. Very juicy on the inside with a nice crisp fried bottom.
Fried pork dumplings $5.75 - comes with four dumplings. Good but nothing really worth noting here.
Braised beef noodle $8.99 - beef was soft and tender with lots of beef to be had. Noodles had a nice chew and soup was good enough to drink.
Black sesame rice ball served in sugar water $6.50 - you get six large pieces in one serving. They were super fresh. Soft and silky smooth and not overly sweet. Simply the best. A perfect little dessert.
Overall, I though the food was good but there are other Shanghai restaurants that do it better. The black sesame rice balls were amazing though and was the best dish we had.
