| - Update:
Their quality became very unstable recently. While their xioa long bao are always good, there're times when their Hot&Sour Soup tasted like water and the meat of drunken chicken was mushy. Some other dishes failed too. We tried their lamb hot pot. The lamb was very hard, which was quite disappointing.
It will be very nice if they can keep up with their standard all the times.

I love Shanghai food, especially Xiao Long Bao (???). Throughout the years I've tried numerous places in the GTA, but I haven't found one that I really liked until I found this place. Their Xiao long Bao's wraps are more delicate than most places, thin and smooth but still won't break easily when picked up with chopsticks, and don't get dry after leaving out for a while. The soup and filling inside tasted perfect. What I meant by perfect is they are tasty but you know there's not a lot of MSG compare to most places. We talked to the servers and they told us they are the same company as the ?? in Shanghai, and their chef is from the same place as well.
There're other dishes that I love too. Their drunken chicken is also the best in town. Again, I've tried this in numerous places.
Shanghai fried noodles, rice in soup (?????), fried bun (???) , fried dumplings (??) are all simple stuff, but they can make them very delicious.
Their main dishes are also delicious. Haven't try them all yet, but very interested in doing so.
Some people may find their dishes not flavorful enough. But this is probably due to the fact that they don't put much MSG and salt, which I would appreciate. I don't feel thirsty after eating here.
The place itself is clean and the seating is comfortable, not crowded at all. Even the servers may not look too friendly in the beginning, they're very attentive.
Last but not least, their prices are very reasonable.
