I heard from a friend that this place was manned by actual Shanghainese so decided to give it a try.  They served a very well balanced sweet sour soup - I didn't actually need to add any more vinegar to balance the sour out.

I personally prefer the thin-skinned xiao lung bao more typically of the Taiwanese variety - but as it is a Shanghai place they did stick to their cuisine and server more traditional xiao lung bao with thicker skin - which was still tasty! 
I much prefer their pan-fried dumplings which were exceptionally juicy in the inside and had a slight crunch on the outside .... and more importantly it did not burn my mouth - served just in the right temperature!

The drunken chicken was a delight- although they did put a little too much wine to soak it, but overall it had a nice texture and the meat was not touch or overly chewy.  The downside was that this place does not seem to offer any desserts of any kind, so if you're looking for a redbean pancake then unfortunately they're a bit absent on this front.
