This place was brought to my attention from the TV show "Lets Eat."
I have been on a Shanghai dim sum feastathon as of late and this one is similar to the rest of them in terms of the food.
Came on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. At first glance you can tell this place has been around for a while. Everything looks old and run down. Then menu that was presented to us was in English and Chinese so that was a pleasant surprise since all of the other Shanghai dim sum places I have went to only gave a Chinese menu and you had to ask for an English menu.
All the food was great. I find the the xiao long bao ($5.99 for 6) we ate here was a little different from the others I have tried. The outer layer was a bit more tough and the meat portion inside was a bit more filled with meat and less soup. Either way it still tasted good.
What I really enjoyed the most here though were the pancake beef wraps. The wrap was nice crispy but it was also soft at the same time. Great flavours in the beef meat made it a perfect dish.
We also had fried thick noodle with beef and shrimps or if you read it on the menu its called Shanghai fried noodles. I think this dish was around $7.49 - It was a bit small in terms of size but still large enough to share with others. They gave us the smalliest pieces of beef and shrimps and very little of it as well. The dish still tasted good though.
Overall, just as good as the other Shanghai dim sum places around with just a few minor setbacks.
