" Not impressed at all. The pork fried rice was extremely oily, and the service was lethargic. It took forever to receive our food, which was lukewarm, unfortunately. I wouldn't recommend it based on my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shanghai Alley truly captured my heart with its expansive options and authentic dim sum! I especially loved the shrimp dumplings and the crispy tofu—it was so good I couldn't help but order extra! The ambiance reflects a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes dining enjoyable. Don't let the mixed reviews deter you; a visit worth making! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about how good the hot and sour soup was! It's a must-try! The dumplings were hot and flavorful as well. However, the service was a bit inconsistent. I had to remind them a couple of times for drink refills. Overall, a wonderful dining experience worth repeating. " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot is great but does have room for improvement in service. My partner and I visited on a busy Saturday and felt a bit neglected by our server. Nonetheless, the food was flavorful, especially the pork buns and soup dumplings. We plan to return, but hopefully to a more attentive experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had such a memorable evening! Although the dim sum service was a bit hectic, the food made up for it. Each dish was packed with flavor, and we enjoyed every bit. The restaurant had a charming décor that added to our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Shanghai Alley for lunch on a quiet weekday. The dim sum selection was impressive and fresh! The prices were fair, and we left satisfied. The staff was friendly, but we had to wave down our waitress for refills. " (*Curated Review*)

" I expected better based on the reviews I had read. The food was okay, but the service was noticeably lacking and felt dismissive. It didn't ruin my meal, but it wasn't the warm experience I was hoping for. I would try a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
