We were in Mei Foo to browse the handicraft market nearby. It was getting late and not really wanting to be stuck with McDonald's, we decided to look around and see what was popular with the residents in the area. That is when we found 新上海飯店 (no English name). It served Shanghainese food and the place was packed!Menu is in Chinese only. There is no English menu and no 10% service charge. You check off what you want on the paper menu and pay on your way out. The food here is not fancy or modern.

Xiao Long Bao ($42) were quite good. Thin skin and not the really old school style of a thick skin. The pork filling was juicy and and there was a lot of savory soup inside.
Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs ($78) were ok. These tasted more like the black vinegar one so I'm wondering if they gave us the wrong one? But the meat on the ribs were still tender.
Shanghainese Stir Fry Noodles ($62) were a bit disappointing. Mostly cabbage with a few pieces of baby bok choy that was still under cooked so it tasted like grass. Not a lot of meat as well. It was mostly noodles and not too well seasoned.
Tan Tan Noodles ($42) were also disappointing. Super spicy but the noodles were clumped together and over cooked.
Food was cheap but not that great. Some items were ok while others were not. Not really worth a find if you don't live in this area.
