This place gets a solid "5". Certainly order the dry rub ribs... suggest ordering 2 per person at the start & again near the end of your dinner so they will be nicely hot as you eat them. They are so good, enjoying them twice is well worth it. We also enjoyed spicy chicken & peanuts, as well as an amazing smoky-flavored eggplant. And you will know the meal is over when the watermelon arrives 🍉.

Excellent food, especially when sharing it with someone! The ribs are a definite highlight! Spicy, yet very flavorful...excellent when hot and fresh from the kitchen! All the food as served freshly made and all had excellent flavor. Watermelon was a nice addition to the meal. The dessert bananas were very good! I highly recommend!

OMG, the best!!!
What delightful experience! I specifically chose this place after I saw Anthony Bourdain's "Shanghai" episode.
The Cumin Ribs were a dream, the sauted peanuts with French string beans perfect, crispy minous tasty, egg drop tomorrow soup just right and the service impeccable.
Best part was the prices are super affordable.
What a great experience. I will come back on my next trip to Shanghai!
Thank you!

Tried several dishes here. They were all really good. The menu has pictures for every item that makes it easy to decide what to pick and expect. The best dish for us was the cumin ribs and the fried pumpkin pie was also delicious.
