This review is for their $1.00 morning special. Their breakfast is from 9:00 am-11:00 am.
We got three different kinds xiao long biao. The steamed pork one was 0.99 for the first order, subsequent orders are an extra dollar more. The pan fried xiao long biao for 1.99$ and the crab and pork one for $1.99. Again only the first order is $1.99 subsequent orders are around an extra dollar more. The quality of the xiao long biao of course doesnt compare to ding tai fung which costs $6.99. The skin is definitely thicker and meat is more tough. The juice is nothing compared to ding tai fung, but it comes in 4 pieces and costs $0.99 so im ok with the quality. It came in four pieces and it was nice and hot.
We also got the warm soy bean drink sweetened for $1.00. It came in a medium bowl and it was quite tasty. It wasnt overly sweet. We also called the fried rice cake for $1.00 and it came in one piece. It was slightly salty and super crispy. Outside was crispy and inside has a gooey texture. I quite like this dish. The last thing we got was the pan fried onion cake for 1.00$/ piece. Also nicely fried but lacked the onion flavour, still good though.
The quality definitely does not compare to traditional shanghai dim sum resturants. But the price makes up for it. We ordered all that for under $9.00 and we were super full. This is definitely an afforable resturant for shanghai morning goodies.
