Before I mouth off this review, please be aware that this restaurant does not serve Shanghainese, the word Shanghai in the name is just a name not indicative of cuisine.
I came here instead of a grand steakhouse because of the reviews of the tofu and the salt n peppa spare ribs. I was all, "a Texas steak sounds amazing, but the tofu and spare ribs just had that edge I was looking for"
And that they were... The tofu was nicely unique, had the texture of soft omelet cakes on the inside, light, crunchy and delicious on the outside. Never had this kind but was worth the visit. The spare ribs were ooooh so delish, yes, never had this either: loved the kick the pepper imparted and the nice sodium edge to this yet another crispy dish. I love texture, ha ha!. The noodles were also very good, strikingly Cantonese, not Shanghainese noodles.
So, the service was so awesome, my waitperson kept coming back checking for oolong tea and water refills, and asked if I liked the food. Maybe she knew I was gonna Yelp the resto, 'cause I was taking pics, LOL She packed up my leftovers she said, I "shouldn't be wasting food" I responded, "I would love to take them home, I'm staying at a hotel". She said, "Ill be right back" and carted off the food. She comes back with them packed ready for the microwave and gave me some chopsticks. Nice, happy to be cared for by my Chinese mama.
Glad I had Chinese.
