" I went to Shanghai Fresh with my family for dinner. The wait for our food was longer than expected, and when it finally arrived, there were some inconsistencies in our orders. However, the flavors were impressive! The crab rangoon was my favorite. I felt it was a little pricey for the portion sizes, yet the food quality makes up for it. Overall, I think they need to work on their service but the food is worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad I found this restaurant! The shredded pork with black bean was simply divine. It truly felt like a taste of home to me. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and I appreciated the free pot of tea they provided. Will certainly return for more authentic dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food with lots of authentic flavor but the service was frustratingly slow. After waiting what felt like an eternity for our food, it finally arrived and was worth the wait. The xiaolongbao was incredible. I'll come back, but hopefully on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Shanghai Fresh for lunch, the selection was good. I ordered the bok choy and the fried rice, which were both quite satisfying. However, I expected the meal to be larger. The service was fast, but I still felt a bit unsatisfied in terms of quantity for the price. Not bad, just could be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went here on a Saturday with friends; the atmosphere was vibrant but somewhat noisy. The menu had a lot of options! I had the spicy beef, and it packed a punch. It could use a bit more care in presentation though. Overall, the food quality was good and I would return just based on the flavors alone. " (*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*)
