As a sucker for Shanghaiese food, it's only a matter of time that I come dining here. Nobody recommended, I just found it myself and I missed a detail on Openrice that this place is good for group dining, no wonder the reception sounded a bit weird when I said I wanted to book a table for one person.Because it's for group dining, tables are all round in here.

Because it's for group dining, tables are all round in here. And the whole place is separated in several small rooms each with a waiter which makes service very efficient cause the moment you raise your hand, she can see you immediately.
The overall feeling is very mainland style dining plus the music they play just reminds me of home. I quickly ordered a few of my favorite Shanghaiese signature dishes plus a tea pot and was ready to relax and enjoy. What surprised me was their serving which was very fast, probably within 20 mins all three of my orders were served, so this is a plus.
I began my dinner with a cold dish with black fungus and okra, black vinegar sauce and was a little disappointed cause there wasn't much flavor in it, black fungus and okras were fresh though.

Then came my soup which is my all time favorite sour spicy soup and they customized it with sea cucumber and obviously there could be only a few small pieces of it but as I grew up in a city that is very famous for sea cucumber, I can say there's definitely flavors of it in the soup.

Last is my main dish and consistent with the previous two, presentation wise, this stewed noodle doesn't look really appealing. I was afraid it could be hot so I let it set for a little while and later when I was about to have it, there was a gluey skin on the surface of the soup which means they use REAL chicken broth (at least some) and not pure chemical powders, and this is a big plus, also the veggies in it are fresh and crunchy. Flavor of the noodle is very mild and soothing just like a bowl of decent chicken soup that warms your stomach, noodles are easily separated and not congealed together, I am satisfied.

Overall, it was a decent dinner experience. I don't know whether I would come back but food here use real ingredients and probably very few chemical compounds. Maybe it's a good choice to bring my mainland visitors here ❤️.
