" I tried Shanghai Fresh for the first time and was impressed! The service was attentive, and the food was authentic. The stir fry had the right amount of spice, and the portions were satisfying, ensuring I'd leave with a full stomach. I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A nice little spot if you're looking for authentic Shanghainese cuisine. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Though the dishes are a bit on the pricey side, I was very happy with my orders of fried rice and soup dumplings. Definitely a good choice if dining out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Shanghai Fresh was excellent but the service really took away from the experience. The waiter seemed disinterested and made a mistake with my order. I ordered the fish fillet hotpot and received something completely different, which was frustrating. However, once the right dish came, I left very satisfied! I loved the ginger flavor in my dish, it was very authentic. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a surprisingly delightful find! The dishes have authentic flavors that remind me of my trip to Shanghai. The string beans were cooked to perfection, and the sweet and sour pork was an absolute treat. The service could be improved slightly, but I loved the free tea offering. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic experience! The interior was elegant, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I went on a date night, and the ambiance set the perfect mood. The food was authentic, with standout dishes like the pork and scallion stir-fry that had generous tender chunks of meat. If you’re on the hunt for real Shanghainese food in a great environment, this is the place to be! I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic dining experience! The dish I ordered, braised pork belly, was cooked perfectly and tasted even better than the ones I've had in Shanghai. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that my glass of water was always full. The interior is beautifully designed and made for a cozy atmosphere, ideal for intimate dinners or casual outings with friends. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Shanghainese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Shanghai Fresh and had a mixed experience. The dumplings were delightful, juicy, and bursting with flavor, but the service left much to be desired; our server seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. The ambiance was warm and inviting, but the noise level was a bit high, making conversation difficult. Overall, decent food but room for improvement on hospitality. " (*Curated Review*)
