My friend and I were at New World Mall and randomly came across this Shanghainese spot, so we…read moredecided to give it a try. Soup dumplings (pork & crab) - not bad, but I've had better. The filling was decent, but the vinegar on the side was too mild. I'm used to a darker, more robust vinegar with XLB, so this didn't quite hit. Braised pork - very tender and flavorful, served with quail eggs. This was one of the stronger dishes. Yangzhou fried rice - not too oily which I liked, but served with only 5 an small shrimps... Sweet & sour shredded potato (cold dish) - slightly spicy, I really enjoyed this one. It was part of a promo where you can get it for $1 when you spend $30 on entrees, so definitely worth adding. Overall, I enjoyed the meal. Not everything stood out, but it's solid enough that I'd recommend it, and I'd come back to try more of the menu.

I've come here during prime lunch time on Saturdays and there's always been plenty of tables in a nice clean ambiance. In terms of the quality of food, I would say it is definitely up to par with decent serving sizes... my go to orders are the pork soup dumplings, pickled mustard greens and spicy fish stew, and pan fried buns. The bathroom is also outside the restaurant and shared with the mall so you will need to grab a key to go, in case that's important to you :)

We ordered bok choy, fried Shanghai udon, Shanghai rice cake, fried dough, and six soup dumpling specialties--and they were the real stars. We tried the signature chicken, scallop, gourd luffa, crab meat & pork, and black truffle varieties. Each one was perfectly pleated, with thin, delicate wrappers that held a burst of piping-hot, flavorful broth. The black truffle was intensely aromatic, the crab & pork was rich and savory, and the luffa offered a surprisingly light, refreshing twist. Honestly, these rival (if not beat) Tang Tai Fan in Manhattan--at half the price. A true hidden gem!

Also ordered garlic shrimp, which was very juicy and flavorful! Would definitely back. Ordered the wine soaked chicken, nine-spice rabbit, and a bowl of rice.

It's been almost two years since I last came back, and I mainly returned for the soup dumplings…read more This restaurant isn't particularly known for them, but I have to say, so far, they're the best soup dumplings I've had in the last couple of years. I'm always on the hunt for a great xiaolongbao, and I was hoping nothing had changed since my last visit. Thankfully, they were just as good as I remembered. The skin is thin, and there's a generous amount of soup inside, which is exactly what I look for. That said, the crab meat noodles were disappointing this time. The amount of crab meat seemed significantly reduced compared to before, so much so that if I hadn't known what I was ordering, I don't think I would have been able to identify it as crab meat noodles at all. We also tried the osmanthus cakes, which my sister really enjoyed. Personally, I'm not a fan of the mochi-like texture, so while I can appreciate why others might like them, they just aren't for me. The restaurant itself is still beautiful, and the servers remain extremely polite, as you'd expect at a place of this caliber. I'll definitely be coming back again...at least for the soup dumplings.

And more: cold dish - garlic cucumbers to start. Classic soup dumplings (pork filling). I usually do not order the crab meat or other varieties as those seem gimmicky. The restaurant gives you a free order of pork dumplings with dine-in purchase of $20+. This visit I did try a new noodle dish - egg noodles with crab roe. It was interesting indeed. While I've had better crab roe toppings (this one was a bit greasy//oily for me) I can see why they added it to the menu. It's been a trend. The Peking Duck and crispy skin pork are still my go to dishes when coming here. It's just not easy to make at home so I'm happy to buy it. Totally classic dishes. We also ordered the beef pancakes which is also a great sharing plate. This spot is a keeper. (I usually come by to grab take out as they have the fast casual rice plates and bbq meats right at the entrance).
