“ This has been a long standing favorite among extended family, they have talked about it for years and I finally got to try it. They did not disappoint. It was a charming little restaurant with the friendliest lady running it. She has such a kind and welcoming smile. The food visually is beautiful. Presented with fresh flowers for garnish, it's almost too pretty to eat. The hot and sour soup was perfectly spiced, everything was delicious. I can't wait to go back. ”
“ I cannot express enough how AMAZING this place is!! Truly an absolute gem of authentic Shanghai cuisine (as shown by the fact that I was brought here first by Chinese international students who were staying with my family). The whole time we were eating, myself and my parents could not stop raving about how flavorful and enjoyable everything was. I had the vegetable buns and the mapo tofu and this mapo tofu has to have been my favorite I’ve ever had. Every dish was also STUNNING and presented beautifully with such care. It’s a bit on the pricy side, but the portions are huge and everything is so good, I think it is still reasonable. It’s also family run and I would rather give my money to a family-run business like this one. The family who runs it were so nice and clearly passionate about their craft. All this to say, you NEED to go here!! Disregard the reviews about “customer service” from people who don’t have empathy for ESL speakers or for cultural differences and go enjoy some delicious food in a cozy space. ”
“ Everything was awesome! The owner was super friendly and we had a very nice talk! ”
“ Wow! This was the first word came out my mouth after I tasted the cold pork belly. The sauce was covered with soy sauce and garlic. So refreshing. The pork rice was amazing! Even the veggies inside were delicious ”
“ Perfect. My new go-to. Fully accessible, including bathrooms and dietary adjustments to the food! Parking on-site! The restaurant is clean, bright, beautifully decorated, and there are all sorts of different seating options to choose from. Plenty of room for a banquet or large party, wedding rehearsal dinner, and so on. Family restaurant, warm welcome, service and food were *perfect.* Do yourself a solid and order a pot of hot tea. They use whole green tea leaves and the pot stays hot through the entire meal. Full menu of American Chinese food and traditional Chinese food, including plenty of dim sum dishes. I didn't see what I wanted on the menu but I showed them a picture. They not only made it for me, they taught me the name of the dish so I can ask for it next time! (鲜蔬菜豆腐汤 xian shucai doufu tang, fresh vegetables and tofu soup) The noodles were perfect consistency, spicy, and every dish is enough for two. I've had a lot of great Chinese home cooking and this place topped them all by miles! I can't wait to go back. Did I mention it was perfect? ”
“ Hidden Gem that's a great Lunch/Dinner Spot on a week night. Clean and bright and colorful. The manager was very prompt and polite, and the food came out quickly and was delicious. Definitely reccomend the Chow Mein with Sesame Seeds. Big portion sizes too ”
“ I ordered take out. It is a great find for hungry stomach . Portion is big! The spicy chicken is tasty but it was a bit too saucy for me. Fried rice were well stir fried with rich ingredients!! For dining exp, the restaurant is spacious and looks clean. The lighting could be brighter for an Asian diner , but acceptable. ”
“ Authentic Shanghai food! The owners are Shanghainese. Hard to find some place like this even in big city. It is a hidden gem in upstate New York. Be sure to check it out!!! ”
