Boyfriend and I were in Jordan and wondering what to eat. So, we scanned Openrice to see what was in the area and we spotted a funny name. "Osama Tony". Listed under Shanghai food.Um...what?Curiosity is our game, so we went to search for it.When we found it, we discovered there was only a Chinese name on the restaurant (皇之家大姊小籠包) and for some reason, they did a semi pingyin of the restaurant name.It was actually very clean with spacious seating.

Um...what?
Curiosity is our game, so we went to search for it.
When we found it, we discovered there was only a Chinese name on the restaurant (皇之家大姊小籠包) and for some reason, they did a semi pingyin of the restaurant name.
It was actually very clean with spacious seating. Menu is in English and Chinese with a fair number of photos. There is a Chinese only menu but upon scanning, it was also the same as the larger menu but just in a concise form. Prices are very inexpensive, pretty much everything under $100. There is no 10% but there is a tea charge.
Shanghai Jelly Pork ($40). A really nice cold appetizer dish. The pork was a bit on the salty side but after dipping it in rice vinegar, it balanced it out.
Drunken Chicken ($58). My favorite Shanghai appetizer. It was quite boozy as you can still taste the strong wine that it was marinaded in. The chicken meat was moist. But a bit too much wine.
Fried Scallion Pancakes ($38). Usually, I'm not a big fan as it's too oily. But this was not oily at all. The pancake was crispy and there was a decent amount of filling.
Xiao Long Bao ($28). I love that this place lets you order two xiao long bao! This is perfect for the single person eater or for boyfriend and I to order even more food as we won't be stuffed with xiao long bao! Really good, too. The skin was thin and delicate. The pork stuffing was moist. There was a generous amount of soup inside.
Stir Fried Shanghai Noodles ($58). Not oily at all as that is something I find in many Shanghai restaurants. Not too salty and not oily. Noodles were chewy.
Pan fried gyoza ($30). This also came with only two. A good single eater friendly restaurant. The gyoza skin was not too thick. The pork meat was moist and juciy.
Very impressed with this place. The food was excellent and very inexpensive. Service was friendly and it appeared the owner was at worked there, too as she looked like the drawing of the woman at the front of the restaurant and menu. Will return again.
