Everything they cook was a bit too salty, so if u don't like salty, tell em in advance. Pork knucke, shangai chai fan, fried noodle, xlb and soup #221 was great! Drink lots of tea afterward,its oily

The savory soymilk (咸豆浆) and 油条 are so good. The sweet and sour pork (糖醋排骨) and eel with leek are authentic. XLB and shenjianbao are not the best... Disappointed

XLB are awesome! And hong shao rou is also worth trying. Very authentic.

everything done here is several notches below a good/decent Shanghainese restaurant -- 雪菜肉丝炒饭变成了黄菜肉末炒饭

The fatty pork dish sort of tastes like a beef and pork belly hybrid. It is weird, but still gloriously fatty.
