" The dim sum is a must-try! I loved the variety, and the flavors were on point. A bit noisy when I visited, but the atmosphere was lively. I would recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine, just be prepared to wait for a table. " (*Curated Review*)

" The highlight of my meal was definitely the braised pork belly! It melted in my mouth and was perfectly seasoned. On the downside, the wait for a table was quite long, and the service was rushed during peak hours. But the flavors made it worth it. I will be returning soon to try their lunch special. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came for the dim sum and was pleasantly surprised! The selection was great, and the prices were reasonable. However, the service was a bit chaotic. We had to wait a while before someone came to take our order. Overall, a solid choice for dim sum lovers, but it could use some organization. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful meal! The pork dumplings were juicy and packed with flavor. The noodles had that authentic homemade taste to them. Service was swift even though the restaurant was busy. Will definitely return and recommend to friends looking for Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible flavors in every dish! The dishes came out fresh and hot, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend trying the sesame balls for dessert! Outstanding food quality and ambiance. I’ve been coming here for a while and have never been disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chef Zhu never disappoints! From their famous braised pork to the delightful scallion pancakes, every bite brings me back to my childhood memories in Shanghai. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place for family gatherings. Highly recommend making a reservation during weekends as it gets quite busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was flavorful but not as authentic as I hoped for. The atmosphere was lively, but the service delayed us significantly. Not a bad spot for casual dining, but room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)
