Overall a good experience, fast service and delicious food. The xiao long baos were one of the best we had unique as the skin texture and soup broth was perfect. The mapo tofu was nice and silky however it was slightly plain (lacked the minced meat). We also ordered yangzhou fried rice which was quite bland. We recommend getting the spicy chilli wonton as it was amazing and will definitely be back.
Food is just the same quality as their mother store! Service was a bit slow though, with the pan fried dumplings arriving after we were halfway through with the other two dishes. Besides that, the staff was very friendly.
Polite staff, gets a little busy on Friday nights, but gets a table in less than 10mins wait, great area for kids to play while you wait for your table, been here for both dinner and lunch, great experience. Food is fantastic
We ordered a large assortment of dumplings, a serve of drunken chicken and spring rolls. The dumplings were great and so was the drunken chicken. Food was brought out promptly.
Got to love a steamed dumpling combo. New on the menu, it offers four pairs of each of the following dumpling varieties -
Chicken and corn, shrimp and chive, beef and baby celery, and lamb and spring onion. We also had the lemongrass pork chop with rice which was a generous serve with steamed rice and fresh tomato and lettuce; although the pork was cooked well I didn’t get a lot of the lemongrass flavours and the rice was a little hard. The deep fried Chinese milk buns were absolutely delicious, piping hot and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Didn’t come here during peak hour so service was fast. Ordered the pan fried pork buns which were pretty good and the diced chicken fried rice which were decent. Price was good for the serving size
Absolute favorite restaurant, their dumplings are amazing, and although the food is on the slightly pricier side, they’re 100% worth it. Head staff are also very friendly.
I frequent here often with a group of friends when we feel like shanghai cuisine mainly due to it's location, seating, and consistency. Time after time, they serve up good dumplings and other dishes that are tasty. I tend to order XLBs, pot stickers, rice cakes and probably a fish/beef in spicy oil. Honestly, it is overpriced cos it's in Westfield haha and you can definitely get cheaper and of same or better quality elsewhere. But their service is efficient, has space for larger groups and feed our hungry stomachs with yummy food :P Not the best, but it's good.
Fried rice with XO sauce and green beans with pork mince are a must try. Really tasty and generous portions. Only thing we noticed was instead of pork mince they replaced it with shrimp mince but it was still ok, its just we weren't informed. Overall, good food a little bit pricey though. Lovely ambience outdoor and fast service.
Been here few times. Tonight I'm having steamed dumpling combo and wonton soup. Tasty and nice selection. Friendly fast service. Will be back again.
I tried the pan fried pork buns which were not the absolute best I've had but still pretty good. The pastry was a little inconsistent with the sides being thin but the top was really thick. The amount of soup was also inconsistent between the buns (though that's quite common), but the filing was otherwise still juicy and overall delicious.
The lemon grass pork chop had decent flavour, but was a little dry and would have been better if it was juicier.
Serving sizes are quite decent, and you can order delivery like I did and it travels reasonably well.
My go-to place for Shanghainese dishes! Everything was very flavourful and cooked to order.
Some of the standout dishes were:
> Deep Fried Buns w/ Condensed Milk - iykyk ;)
> Sizzling Sliced Beef on Hot Plate - the beef was super tender
> Shanghai Turnip Croissant - super super flaky pastry with shredded turnip filling... the best thing ever
I wouldn't recommend ordering the Barramundi in Sweet & Sour Sauce though as the fish itself was very dry and the sauce didn't have that wow factor... once you've tasted the real deal from the restaurants in shanghai you can never go back : (
Love the food here, we come regularly. It's not the cheapest place but the food is excellent. Great dumplings made on the premises, good service. It's always busy but never too difficult to get a table (it's worth booking).
