    House Special Soya Braised Duck
    Tom L.

    We came by for a birthday celebration on Saturday around noon. We made a reservation ahead of time, but they aren't required. In fact, there was plenty of seating still available. The restaurant is pretty spacious with lots of large tables, booths, and fancy-looking private rooms. Service was fast - food came out within 10 mins. You view the menu via a QR code, but have to order with the waitstaff. The restaurant gets fresh fish restocked every Saturday--ask about specials. We ordered the House Special Soya Braised Duck, Sauced Crab Meat with Rice, 3 Black Rock Cod, Mantis Shrimp, Stir-fried Edamame & Bamboo Shoots & Preserve Baby Bok Choy, and Shanghai Traditional Style Meat Balls. We ordered a lot so I won't talk about all of them. Everything was flavorful and authentic Shanghainese cuisine except the duck. Don't get me wrong - the duck is good, but if you're looking for Shanghainese braised duck then you won't get that here. The flavor just wasn't strong enough. Also the cod was special - the meat is served as a dish and the bones are used to make a soup. The soup was absolutely delicious, the meat was super tender.

    This was our first time coming here for dinner since the change in ownership and restaurant name. The interior design has not changed. We ordered three dishes for the two of us, and the portion sizes were generous. However, the dishes could have been more flavorful. The service was good.

    This place was a little pricy,food was just okey level,not really recommended tbh. Entered around 11:40 am,was told most popular real Chinese signature dishes like live eel,duck,Shaoxing Chicken were run out lol,ridiculous,only some fake American Chinese dishes available.

    Amazing, friendly service. You can tell the owner deeply cares for the business, and the employees respect him. Every dish was delicious. Grand opening week, so it was packed. Use the QR code at the table for the menu and order with waiter. There were many choices, but we tried to stick with their popular items. It's located at a plaza, so there were plenty of parking.

    Food is really good if you're up for authentic Chinese food! They make food from some of the Chinese provinces (States). Yummy, yummy!

    Scallion chicken ( cold dish)

    This is definitely the most authentic Shanghainese restaurant here in DFW. Targeting upscale customer looking for exquisiteness and authenticity and taste. Food is great. Don't gt me wrong. Service is good too. The reason I put 3.5 star is because the last dish we ordered. The scallion sauce of the scallion chicken is kind of sourish and taste bad. I think it turns bad especially if it is blended overnight. Overall it is not for those looking for value for money as dish portion is small for American standard. But once a while looking to indulge or some celebration or feasting with close friends or relatives.

    It is excellent Shanghainese food. Finally we have Shanghainese Cuisine for a change. Love the steam fish, Shrimp egg rolls, ginger chicken, Yan Du Shien Soup, the Lion Head (meat balls), braised pork belly..... all are my favorite I will for sure going back. Also very nice decor.

    Many items on the menu. Seafood was fresh and the taste is mild. Price is bit high but still reasonable. Recommend crab rice cake

Skin looked crispy but was not. Supposed to come with a mandarin sauce. Sauce I got had to be just soy & hoisin. No citrus flavor at all and very thin and salty. Oversalted potato slices, gummy rice & no veg. 2) Secret steak menu $63 - Sous vide ribeye was large and my husband liked it. This was also served with oversalted potato slices, no veg. 3) Slow braised pork $28 - Pork cut was pork belly which would have been nice to mention on the menu. My son wouldn't have chosen that entree if he knew that was the cut. It was a gelatinous mountain of darkened fat in a salty sauce. The bok choy was fine, simply steamed and unremarkable. Gummy rice. 4) Scallion pancake $8 - greasy and very light on scallions. Meh. 5) Blue crab & cheese wontons $12 - Very little filling, though what was in there was good. Mostly hard crispy wonton, not light or airy. The dipping sauce was giving mango baby food vibes. 6) Cocktails - Lychee Grapefruit Martini $13 and Baby Boulevardier $15 were good. 7) Bathroom was dirty and trach can overflowing onto the floor at 7pm on a Sunday night. 8) Had at least 4 different servers approach our table to take our orders and every time we tried to order they said they'd come back later due to the time it would take for the sous vide steak to finish cooking. It would have been nice to have a single server coordinate that timing with the kitchen instead of a parade of different people ask us to order and then leave when they heard there was a steak working. 9) Table had a view of a wine room that looked more like a storage room with lots of random cardboard boxes. 10) When they cleared the table and took the steak board away there was a greasy puddle under it that was never wiped up by anyone despite us remaining at the table for some time afterward. Overall yes on the steak & cocktails and that's about it. Would def not return. At that price point I was expecting fine dining and was sadly disappointed.

Their sautéed kidneys are also excellent, cooked just right with bold seasoning. If you're looking for no-frills, high-quality Chinese cuisine, this is the place to go!

Tasted exactly like home made A small plate of tofu stuffed with little pork. The picture was appealing but when it came, it was on a small plate. Tasted not that good. There was no price listed for this dish. Only picture with big pieces of tofu. But the real thing? Small cubes of tofu. I didn't put tip because it is in a food court. Total $27. Which make me think it was $15 for the pork chop rice and $11 for a small plate of tofu that didn't taste good. For reference I looked at a menu another Yelpers posted 10 months ago it says pork chop rice was only $10. I know there's inflation but 50% ? No way I posted pic below but don't be fooled by the angle. Tofu was closer to me and pork chop rice farther away. It was a small plate of tofu. Kid you not

    This is a new restaurant that serves Jiangzhe cuisine. It is located between the bank and Big…read moreClaw. The interior is fairly small. Come early if you have a large party. Some notable items on the menu include soup dumpling and noodle soups. There are chef's recommendations on the back of the menu. Those same recommendations are also hanging up against the wall. They accept credit card. However, there was a cash special going on when we visited - pay cash to get a free 牛肉酥饼 with your meal. Order at the register, get a number card, grab a seat and wait for your food to be brought to you table. Water and utensils are self service. Someone will come by to bus the table when you're done. I am unsure when payment happens as we paid after ordering, but we saw others pay after eating. Maybe you get to choose or it depends on what or how you order? We ordered the Jelly Tofu (salted), Jelly Tofu (sweet), JiangNan Style Ham, Chinese Dough Stick, Signature Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao, Pan Fried Forest Farm Pork Bun. Jelly Tofu (salted) - Overall, it was refreshing. It had cilantro, wood ear, shiitake mushroom, and a salty broth. Jelly Tofu (sweet) - This was not sweet at all. I was completed surprised by the flavor. The liquid was wine (酒酿). Maybe that's how it's supposed to be in Jiangzhe cuisine but I did not like it. JiangNan Style Ham - It was chewy and refreshing. It was good. Chinese Dough Stick - It was average. I wish I had some soy milk to go with it, but the soy milk was sold out by the time we arrived. Signature Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao - There is a very strong fishy flavor. Fishy flavor is usually good but it was so strong that it overpowered the rest of the dish. Even eating it with the vinegar didn't help. On top of that, the dumplings were completely stuck to the paper and the dumplings would rip releasing all of its soup juices. This is not my first time dealing with soup dumplings so I totally get that it is a delicate process, but this was almost beyond master level chopstick skills. Pan Fried Forest Farm Pork Bun - It was pretty good. It was also filled with soup which is hot and explodes everywhere if you are unawares. Be careful. 牛肉酥饼 - It was 酥 enough but the filling was average. The price is a bit expensive for the most average quality that you get.

Orders are placed at the counter from the menu, there are also pictures of some dishes on the wall for reference. Some items can be purchased cold or frozen for home preparation as well, mainly steam buns and raw cuts of meat from their farm. After placing your order you'll be given a number to place on your table and the food will be brought out to you. Condiments, water and utensils are located to the left side of the counter where you pay. Over a few visits I have tried the soup dumplings (which are a family favorite). The dumplings come out piping hot, there is the perfect amount of soup to filling ratio. The dumplings sorta melt in your mouth and are very flavorful, just writing this review has me wanting to drive over for an order! I've also tried the duck soup, wonton soup, Shepherds purse wonton soup, seaweed salad, traditional dough stick, pork buns, steamed dumplings, and the King Pao chicken. My kids love the traditional dough stick both said it reminded them of the beignets they had when we visited New Orleans. They only wished there was powdered sugar to add to them lol! The soups were tasty, my personal favorite is the wonton soup the wontons has a decent amount of filling and was seasoned well, not to salty like I've experienced at a few other places. My sister enjoyed the King Pao chicken, she said it was one of the better ones she has tasted. My husband loves the steamed buns and steamed dumplings. Everyone I've brought here has enjoyed something off the menu. Overall, the food here is pretty solid, the service has been great each time we've visited and we will definitely return in the future!
