Reviews
The restaurant is clean and tidy.
Service is probably one of the best in the San Gabriel valley.
Our group was seated inthe private room in the back. It was a bit cold with AC blowing. We asked them to turn it down and they did promptly.
The waiter and staff were very attentive. They made recommendations and took our order.
The food came out quickly. It was hot and fresh. Some of the dishes were excellent, like the fish and chicken. Others were mediocre, in my opinion.
Prices are very reasonable.
I can’t emphasize enough how great the staff is. Very polite and friendly.
Would consider returning and trying other items on their menu.
I like how whenever they make the 醪糟湯圓, they wait until they see you’re almost done to ask if they should start making it, so you know it’s fresh.
There are so many good dishes that we rotate through on our visits. It’s a good place to eat dine out for two or even better for larger parties, where you can sample a larger variety eating family style.
Drunken Chicken and Shanghai Cold Pork Slices as appetizers give us a good start. Then we ordered Shrimp scrambled egg, Shanghai little ribs, Cumin fried lamb, Chives Pork Stir fry, Green Onion Fried Pancake, Soup dumplings, Chang’s beef rolls, Pork & Chicken cabbage dumplings. I will grade them B+ overall. Of course, a Red Bean Pancake as our dessert.
We had great time and enjoyed the good food.
Welp, besides the seaweed fish fries which were right on point (and stayed crispy for two hours), everything was underwhelming. It feels like they’re following in Taiwan’s footsteps in terms of using less salt and adding more sugar.
A little tangent before I get into the dishes: whyyyy, oh why do the Taiwanese revere desserts that are “not too sweet”, yet throw massive amounts of sugar into their savory dishes?? I noticed this trend in South Korea too. Boggles the mind.
Back to our regularly-scheduled programming: The li yu (fish) had almost no doban taste. I searched and searched and came up empty. I mean, the sauce certainly LOOKED like it would have doban sauce in it, but all I could taste was sugar and the texture of corn starch. So what I did was scrape off and dump out as much of the sauce as I could to rid the dish of sweetness, and added doban sauce at home. Like 3 heaping spoonfuls.
The tong po rou was not only not savory enough, it also just lacked any depth of flavor. Because I don’t pretend to be a food critic (I just want yummy food), every time I read some layman’s review in which they mention “depth of flavor”, I cringe. Yet in this case, I’m willingly becoming my own worst enemy as I have to use the phrase bc I know no other way to encapsulate the flavor profile (or the lack thereof of any). For $28.99, I wasn’t a happy camper. So of course I put THAT on the stove too. Added dark soy sauce and one star anise bc I wasn’t about to throw $28.99 down the tube. Mind you, I’m *really* not a good cook, hence I order out a lot. So for me to “improve” upon a dish is almost a laughable idea.
Hunan tofu: again lacked flavor and salt. Like how is that even possible when it’s got fermented black beans in it?? Again, boggles the mind. Having had no fermented black beans on hand, I just Lao Gan Ma fried crispy chili oil, and voilá — it became a…3 out of 5.
All this to say, I’ve not once had to re-season 75% of the dishes I got from a restaurant until this experience. Sadly, I won’t be returning. P.S. I spent around $112 for four dishes. Yeah….
Service was kind and efficient both in my ordering and cashing out experiences.
Ambience: 5/5 – clean and bright store
Service: 5/5 – really attentive and very helpful/friendly
Value for price: 5/5 – lunch price was competitive and the food was pretty good
We just love their shanghai/Hangzhou cuisines. They make the foods authentically Shanghai style. So for those of shanghai cuisine fans, I highly recommend trying their imitation of Goose meat with tofu and bamboo shoots. The three cup chicken is excellent. The chicken in a clay pot permeates delicious flavor. Another dish worth trying is their pan fried Shanghai style rice cake. This is a must order dish.
If you like xiao long Bao, this restaurant has good ones and their fried dumplings(生煎包)is very juicy and flavorful.
But please avoid their fried bean noodle. It was too sweet when we ordered it on Saturday. This didn’t taste like the famed Beijing style noodle.
Other then that, all other food seemed to be very good. Service was not bad either. The food came out very quickly and the waitresses were very responsive and friendly.
Duck, 3 flavor crispy noodles, and my bf wanted moo shu pork (not pictured)
It was my first time trying duck it had good flavor but way too many tiny bones so bc of the inconvenience of that I would never order again.
Noodles were good had kind of like a gravy sauce very rich. Good but not great.
Moo shu pork was very disappointing. Very bland. Hard to eat. And the tortilla that our server wrapped them in really grossed me out.
Our total was approximately $85
Sorry but I unfollowed. Won’t return.
