Shanghai Shikumen Fine Cuisine

My son was craving pork belly, and my Shanghai-born, Shanghai-raised nephew recommended this Shanghai-style restaurant. The food was delicious and truly authentic. The braised pork belly was rich and tender, the stir-fried pork liver was perfectly cooked, and the braised tofu with yellow croaker was silky and flavourful. The bamboo shoot soup cut through the richness nicely, and the Chinese okra with edamame was fresh and light. We also enjoyed the fried lotus root cakes and spring rolls. Of course, we had to try the salted pork with vegetable fried rice. It tasted like home. The restaurant has classic old-Shanghai decor and the servers were polite and friendly. Highly recommended if you want real Shanghai cuisine.

I ordered through ubereats. The 上海粗炒 taste is fine but very little meat found. Rice cake is normal The drunken chicken is sour !!!! I couldn't event finish a whole piece of chicken. The smell of it is sour and taste bad !

I always knew this place existed but for some reason never tried it. Decided to spluge a little and try this traditional Shanghainese fine cuisine restaurant. Ordered some very interesting but yummy foods and it came relatively fast and fresh We had this really interesting crispy rice tomatoes dish, check out my video! Their fried duck is also very good along with the drunkin chicken! The decor is meant to look dated and traditional and the chairs are super hard rose wood. Worth a try!

Decent Shanghainese restaurant at First Markham Place. There is a good variety of food that appeals to the Shanghainese palette. The food though was a bit too salty in my view when compared to what I’ve had in Shanghai.

We are looking for a Shanghai cuisine restaurant and saw this one. Among 5 dishes we ordered, we gave 5 out of 10 to Lotus Root(桂花糖藕), 8 to Shanghai Style Rice Cake (上海炒年糕), 6.5 to Bamoo Shoot, 7 to Hot and Sour soup and 7 to Pork Bun (小笼包). Lotus Root is a bit disappointing as it doesn’t taste like the dish I grew up with - a bit mushy and doesn’t have that sweet yet not too rich (甜而不腻) taste. Service is solid and atmosphere is decent. We went before dinner rush so the place is still pretty quiet.

This is one of very few Shanghai dishes restaurants in Toronto. Disregard some of the reviews on the internet, we found it to be surprisingly good. The interior is a little bit out of dated, but it gives a feel of old Shanghai which we like. The service is better than we anticipated, efficient and simple, the waitress/ store manager can speak Shanghai dialect, which is a plus. The food we tried is the Egg Braised meatball $21.99 very tender and not too salty, the veggies inside is so yummy, although we never tasted egg inside meatball in Shanghai, we liked it. Stir Fried Pork Liver $18.99 is so good, it is so tender and the source is tasty, must try. Tomato and shrimp crispy rice crust $21.99, it is nice combination of sweet and sour, crispy and soft texture. House special pan fried bun $9.99 is what we aim for, consistently good. Steamed pork bun $9.99 is also very yummy, must order item every time. Overall, it is a very decent Shanghai food restaurant which is worth trying.

Some veggie options. Very yummy! Feels like I am having meal in China.

Service is good, all dishes are very traditional Shanghai style. Love this place, will visit again
