    Steamed pork buns and Kung pow chicken...
    Richard H.

    Here is my two cents on my price size in case of my Kung pow chicken.... It was delivered by Uber eats in a semi timely manner... when following it, they had a number of stops along the way so my food did not arrive piping hot just more a little over warm!!! I also got an order of Shanghai, steamed pork buns .. I thought these were extremely good. They were about bite-size and very tasty.. They came with a somewhat dipping sauce, which I did not find very appealing. It was because it was a vinegar base... my personal opinion I do not like any hot sauces or anything that is vinegar base but that's just me.. I also paid for a small size of plain white rice, which cost three dollars... knowing how much rice cost and how easy it is to make. I understand this to be a high profit item for them to have... Kung pow chicken. I thought it was a well proportion. It was only $15 for it. ... There was lots of peanuts, which I found it impressive and the taste was just very good and they use actually the dark meat, the chicken thighs, which enhance the flavor overall.... There was not much compile in the chicken. I was expecting it to be much more spicier and hot. but for regular people, it was more than adequate... I failed to ask you to have extra hot sauce on side or make it spicy ... but you can always add your own hot sauce, kick it up or knot. But overall, I found this to be quite more than adequate if you're looking for the dish.

    Came to this plaza to visit the Bank of America. Since I was making the trip out here we ordered ahead of time online for pick up so we will have lunch. Ordering online was easy. Received an email stating my order will be ready in 30 minutes. Plenty of parking in this plaza. Came over around 15 minutes after my BoA visit and was told one of my items was out. Bummer. Advised to return in another 15 minutes. I waited outside and returned in 15 minutes to a long line of patrons around 1145am. I went to the front. The man recognized me and reviewed the receipt with me since one of the items was out. Paid and headed home. I would like say that I had a pleasant interaction with this man and all the food was presented nicely with good quantity. Bamboo shoots: We order this whenever we see it on the menu. This place gives a lot and the shoots were braised well and soft with a slight crunch to them. Perfection. Pork Ball with brown sauce: 4 good sized balls with 4 bak Choy. We haven't seen this item before so we opted for it. It was delicious! We will be ordering it again! Presented very nicely in the togo box. Yang Chow Fried Rice: Ordered this to enjoy with the pork balls. This was probably our least favorite. Some of the rice was clumped together but overall good and we have leftovers for tomorrow. Seem like their lunch plates are very popular hence all these patrons lining up around lunch time. Some of their lunch box items look very appetizing (I grew up in SF where a lot of these places serve fried and oily items). They have a mix of typical Americanized items and also home-y items such as tomato egg. Given close proximity to our home, uniqueness of some of their items, delicious bamboo shoots we plan on returning.

    An excellent mom and pop Chinese restaurant in a quiet location near the Apple campus and Tong Sui! The owner is an elderly man who is super sweet and always ready to help answer questions or suggest things for your order. Reasonably priced and always a HUGE lunch line for their two/three item combo. Our staples are the hot and sour soup, broccoli chicken, sesame chicken, and the fried rice. They're super quick, food comes out nice and hot and makes it to your dinner table (despite being take out) well. Portions are also fairly big and we usually have plenty of leftovers that keep well for the next day.

    My car was at the shop nearby and I came here to pick up some lunch while I waited. The food was surprisingly good. The set up is similar to Panda Express where you can order a combo and choose from the pre-made dishes. I got fried rice with green beans and tofu. I liked it a lot and it went fast. I would have been happy to not have had the conversation with the person in line ahead of me who wanted to talk about WW2 and the effects of the nuclear bomb on Japan. Totally random and uncomfortable.

    With the vast number of Shanghainese restaurant options in the Bay and also having tried most of them as a Shanghainese-food snob, I never thought it was this inconspicuous 3.5 stars restaurant with barely over a hundred reviews that would end up capturing my heart. IMPORTANT: Do NOT get the xiaolongbao or soups here - The XLBs are pocketed with little meatballs inside that come with an unnaturally smooth surface texture one can only assume was pre-frozen for ages - Soups come in big portions for the price but mostly taste like big buckets of water Then whyTF do I like this place so much if they don't even have good XLBs, aka THE signature dish many use to assume a Shanghainese restaurant's quality? Well, I too was very misled by the shitty (sorry jin jin) XLBs during my first visits and didn't want to come back except I was lazy and JJ was the closest proximity-wise when I craved Shanghainese food, so I started trying all the obscure-sounding dishes from the huge menu as well as daily specials and whatever they recommended each time. That's when I started to fall slowly in love with this place, because it was those other dishes that drew out a sense of my hometown with every taste. In retrospect, I also realized that our habits of evaluating the quality of a Shanghainese restaurant based on its XLB (or assuming the quality of an ethnic restaurant using few "signature" dishes we know of) isn't that rational, because authentic ethnic home cuisines is so much more than just a few well-known dishes natives often only eat during special occasions, just like how my family rarely if ever made XLBs back home. In fact, I didn't even like XLBs until I got unintentionally brainwashed by all the associations between XLBs and Shanghainese restaurants in america. Damn I just spewed so much food philosophy lol... Anyway, I've been here so many times now that the old shanghainese uncle who owns the restaurant (and slowly reminding me of my dad) recognizes my voice every time I call from some sketchy number. Come here and try something from their daily specials or whatever the owners recommend that's reminiscent of their hometown.

    LUNCH SPECIALS TO GET YOU RIGHT! I can on a rainy day got a lunch special for fried rice, orange chicken, Bro Olli beef, and hot and sour soup. The fried rice was good and had lots of toppings, but it was nothing special! However the orange chicken was really good with it still being crunchy even after being out for a long time it was crunchy and sweet and extremely tasty, however the broccoli beef was extremely mid with the servers giving me mostly broccoli and the beef tasted a little too gamey. The hot and sour soup was also all right, but it didn't have much flavor either and the toppings inside didn't have any texture. OVERALL I would not come again as it wasn't too special, however if you want a cheap meal it would be worth it if you know what to get!

    Shanghai Flavor - Marinated Pork Stomach ($10.95)

    3.9(246 reviews)

    Food: Verified by our coworker from Shanghai: AUTHENTIC. The flavors are really great! Especially…read moretheir pot! You get so many things, including glass noodles, vegetables, seafood and meat; and the broth! Best taste ever. Their steam rice is really good as well and definitely be mindful with their portion haha. Ambiance: clean and comfortable! Service: can't describe how welcoming and attentive the staff were. We're offered good recommendations and service. Personally, I spoke mandarin and bringing someone who can speak mandarin does make a difference!

    A fairly authentic little Shanghai-style restaurant. The decor is simple but clean and spacious…read more The staff are all very friendly. Mushroom with Gluten Noodle - 4/5 The mushroom and gluten were well prepared, though the flavor was a bit on the mild side. The noodles were the thin type, probably just standard packaged noodles. Shanghai Style Fried Prawns - 3/5 There are two options: one with regular prawns, and one with river shrimp. We chose the river shrimp. The overall flavor was much milder than the authentic version--it lacked sweetness, and the dish didn't have the rich red and glossy look it usually should. Bean Curd with Vegetables - 5/5 This dish was a pleasant surprise, capturing the taste of spring--very light and refreshing. Lightly drizzled with sesame oil and chilled for a while, every bite felt fresh and cleansing, with a lingering aroma. Shanghai Veggie and Pork Rice Cake - 5/5 Highly recommended. The rice cakes were stir-fried to a perfect soft and chewy texture. The combination of vegetables and shredded pork brought out a deliciously savory flavor.
