My favorite Shanghai style restaurant. If you crave for not-greasy and very delicate Chinese dishes, it is for you! Priced reasonable. List of beverage/wine might seem limited to you, and enjoy Chinese corn wine with various ages.
Starting end of October, the full moon crabs are in season, and without "Chef's", you will miss pungent savor of those lake crabs.
Better reserve in advance, and don't forget to consult them what appetite you have, and they will try to fix to it. Especially if you/your companion require special attention for dishes/occasion, discussion before visit will help a lot.

This month's lunch menu includes rice bowls, fried rice, yakisoba, and chef's curry, and the lunch set comes with a salad that accentuates the crunchy texture.It's also nice to be able to enjoy a pot of hot tea. The Hainanese rice bowl features slow-grilled chicken thighs topped with the store's special sauce and plenty of green onions, and the rice is so juicy that you can easily cut it with a spoon, and the green onions are an accent. The paiko bowl is crispy fried pork loin in a sauce with a hint of black vinegar.The Chinese food here is said to be Shanghai home cooking, so it has a gentle and elegant taste.
