Shanghai Pan Fried buns (8ct) with sweet dipping vinegar and cold soy milk for under $20 delivered to the table makes for a great brunch for one. Pray, sip your drink, or take pictures of the posted caution signs before nibbling at the first bun. Each meatball is a juicy bite all the way through. Keep phones off the table just in case!

Great low key lunch spot to fulfill any bao/noodle cravings you might have. The menu is a little overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the cuisine. The pan fried Shanghai bao are a MUST - it is their best item and you get 8 decent sized bao with a vinegar-soy dipping sauce. I would also recommend the buffet item specials which are a good deal. We got the orange chicken and very tender beef on the bone that was very tender (Not sure of the exact names of everything). Their noodle soups are also very popular, although I haven’t tried them myself. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Very authentic indigenous Shanghainese food, which is a bit on the sweet side. It’s really a good court, w all food in trays on display. You can pick what you see. The place can be tidy up a bit. Staff were helpful. Warning: portions are very generous. I think all orders are meant for two ppl at least.

The portion is very big with the price you paid for. Shave ice is awesome!
