    Authentic Chinese food. Southeastern style although its name is Peking Restaurant. Service is super good! Worth every penny you paid.

    I only came here for the hot and sour soup. Ordered a size M container to go, which was enough for 3 people. This soup was perfect for a cold evening with lots of stuff inside including tofu, bamboo shoots, and wood ear mushrooms. To my surprise, there was shrimp inside too. I highly recommend the hot and sour soup.

    I completely forgot about this place until a friend suggested meeting up for lunch here. I used to frequent this place when I worked nearby and even brought my kids when they were toddlers. Just like back then, this pace has solid Shanghai and Szechwan dishes. While I love their noodles, stir fried rice cakes and sautéed fish dishes, surprisingly, my favorite is their sweet and sour pork. No seriously, hear me out! The pork is nice lean and juicy pieces in a light batter, with the sauce not too sweet nor too heavy. It comes with a good amount of pineapple chunks and multi color cubed peppers. I don't know how it comes out so crisp whit the sauce on it, but now I crave it. Service is good and very friendly, and while the inside doesn't seem busy, they seem to have continually take out orders. If you need a good place for meeting a group, this is a good last minute option. Enjoy!

    Hot and sour soup

    Love this place! Hot and sour soup is a must, the best I've ever had. The customer service here is great. They do delivery but we prefer to dine in. Some of my go tos are chicken chow mein and garlic green beans. The Mongolian chicken is also fire!

    Hot and sour soup

    Service was good. Friendly, informed staff. Clean tables with tablecloths. Food was very good. Started with hot and sour soup one of my favorites. Had shrimp in it! Kung pao chicken and amazing eggplant Sichuan style!! 5 start!! They have brown rice too!

The owners, the Shen family, are retiring. When they opened in 2008, replacing two popular Chinese western food restaurants, they were a refreshing addition to the mainly Cantonese cuisine Chinatown community. There was only a small Shanghai literal hole in the wall spot across the street that closed many years ago. The mom did the cooking while the daughter ran the front of the house, literally producing home style Shanghainese cuisine. They have regular normal northern cuisine favorites like hot & sour soup and mapo tofu, small bites like XLB (soup dumplings), green onion pancakes, and Sheng jian bao (pan fried dumplings). I often had family style dinners here enjoying Shanghai staples like Lion's head meatballs, Shanghai stir fried shrimp (use that blank vinegar), braised pork shank, and stir-fried eel. Never had the pleasure in trying their Dong Po pork. Get their steamed rice with bacon and vegetable to accompany those saucy dishes. With their departure, I do not know of any authentic Shanghai restaurants in San Francisco... clue me in if you think of one. The closest that comes to mind now is in San Mateo off the top of my head. Thank you, Bund Shanghai and Shen Family for providing my family, my coworkers, and me many meals over the years. You will be sorely missed but enjoy your retirement.

The chef is retiring, so wish them a congrats and farewell if you're stopping by soon. I can definitely taste the authenticity behind the dishes. While I thought the crab sauce tofu was a bit too sweet and the rice cakes too salty, there wasn't a single bad dish. It's hard to find Shanghainese food in DTSF and I'm sad to see this one go. If you find yourself here, do order the stir-fried eel, XLB, pickle and ham steamed rice, and the Sheng Jian Bao. Overall, it was worth a visit and hope the area gets more Shanghai cuisine in the near future.

The staff were friendly and super prompt about clearing empty plates and refilling our tea whenever we signaled it was done, which is always great as the dishes just get on coming! We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, and several really stood out. The spicy tendon was fantastic, shredded paper thin and swimming in a classic spicy sauce. The spicy lamb dumplings were another highlight, with an incredibly thin wrapper and a super flavorful and not gamey at all lamb filling. I also loved the stir fried rice cakes, which were sliced thin enough to avoid that overly chewy texture, and the stir fried noodles Shanghai style were classic and simple in the best way, with big chunks of cabbage and meat and just executed really (the chefs clearly have some serious wok skills!). Not everything we ordered was an absolute knockout as the vegetable dishes could use a bit more flavor and seasoning, but everything overall was good, and the portions across the board were very generous. The desserts were a last-minute decision and I am so glad we went for them. The lava custard buns were fluffy and amazing, with a molten salted egg custard inside, and the sesame balls had a satisfyingly crispy exterior that gave way to a perfectly chewy interior and sweet red bean filling. The value here is also excellent. We left absolutely stuffed and spent around $30 per person, which felt like a great deal for how much food we got and how much we enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

Not sure if it's the chili oil or the wonton. - Chocolate dumplings: Comes with 4 dumplings which were really good and tasted like nutella. Wish it came with a couple more dumplings!

Once they started calling tables, it moved really fast. When we were seated, we ended up sharing a table with two other groups of two. I actually didn't mind it at all because there was still enough space between everyone to have privacy. It also made the experience feel more social -- I ended up chatting with the people to my right and left about the food. Everything we ordered was really good. Their popular dry fried chicken absolutely lived up to the hype and was probably my favorite thing on the menu... besides the cherry pork. I feel like nobody talks about the cherry pork enough! It was SO good -- kind of like a sweet-and-sour pork without the sour. I dipped it in soy sauce because I loved the sweet and salty combo together. The dumplings were also really good. The wrapper was thin and delicious, but my boyfriend said he wished they had a little more protein filling and less leek. The green beans are always a hit. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the black bean sauce noodles. Maybe I just expected a different flavor, but to me they honestly tasted like regular lo mein. I'm also not a huge noodle person in general, so I'd probably skip them next time and order something else instead. Forgot to mention their prices are on point! Definitely recommend to any of the tourists. I think the weight is definitely worth it and I love being able to take home my leftovers and eating them for lunch and dinner the next day.

I might give this place another try, but I would have to get something different. I thought the food was a good value with the deal they provided. It did come promptly and was still warm when delivered so I'm sure they were freshly made. Hoping I have a better experience when I try it again.
