  • Brand NEW Shanghai restaurant in the Sheppard & Brimley area of Scarborough and it looks like possible competition for Asian Legend diagonally across the intersection. A SMALL parking area but don't worry you can park at the plaza across which has a few more spots. The Chinese lettering on the sign is done very beautifully. Also the two lions guarding the entrance adds a very nice touch for welcoming customers. Inside has some wall hangings and settings that represent Shanghai itself. Five 2-seaters are aligned along the windowed walls while in the middle holds Four 4-seaters and the back where Two 8+ seaters are available. Big group? Try to get the 8+ seater with the FAUX leather seats. :p There are 4 servers this night which means at least one is fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin or English. Pretty decent service but this place is small-ish so TIGHT spaces to maneuver around for everyone. Drunken Chicken($5.99) and Boiled Duck w/Salty Taste($5.99) were 2 COLD Starters that are more on the average end. The Beef Noodle Soup($6.99) is a TOTAL miss as the noodles are below average and the soup doesn't have the flavours nor was there even a decent hint of spiciness. The Beef was the better item of this dish but still not worth ordering, so just SKIP noodles here altogether. Mini Shanghai Style Soup Filled Dumplings w/Pork($7.99/8) otherwise know as Xiao Long Bao was A-OK and the juice within had hints of sweetness rather than purely savoury. Fried Egg w/Special Sauce($11.99) was A-OK as well and hidden inside was tiny bits of white fish. If you didn't pay attention you wouldn't notice the fish but I tasted the FISH flavour so I looked hard and deep. Hot & Sour Soup($3.99/small) was pretty good with some Pork, Shrimp, Tofu, etc... It had good quantity and ingredients but what was missing is the HOT part of the description however simply ask for more Chili Oil. We ended with Glutonous Rice Ball w/Black Sesame in Gui Hua(Osmanthus) Wine($4.99). It came to the table with great scent/fragrance and it tasted pretty good. The only downside if I was picky was that it lacked a little on the wine part as others do it up stronger. All I can offer is an A-OK for now as I still cannot gather what their STRENGTH or what makes them special compared to neighbourhood North Chinese restaurants.
