" We visited Auntie Qiu Kitchen after hearing a lot of good things. The atmosphere felt welcoming, although the service took a bit longer than expected. The pork dumplings stole the show, being flavorful and properly cooked; however, the Xialongbao didn’t have the soup we were hoping for. Overall, I would like to return perhaps for a different meal experience. Pretty good overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely birthday dinner here! The ambiance is enchanting, filled with snapshots of Shanghai. I ordered the Xiaolongbao, and though they were good, they weren’t the best I’ve had. Surprisingly, the sweet soy milk was the showstopper! I really felt the ambiance and attentive service compensated for any minor flaws in the food. I’ll definitely return for another celebratory dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to visit Auntie Qiu Kitchen, and it was a dream come true! The flavors truly reminded me of Shanghai, especially the sweet and sour fish. The cozy place turned out to be a delightful surprise with its homely decor and inviting environment. Even the soy milk brought back vibrant memories. I can't wait to come back again and try more dishes—an absolute must-visit for anyone craving real Chinese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Auntie Qiu Kitchen is my new favorite place! It's so hard to find authentic Chinese food, but this place nailed it. I came here with my partner, and we shared a bunch of dishes. The burnt ends of the fried radish cake paired with their spicy dipping sauce were incredible. Plus, the staff was so helpful in explaining the menu and making great suggestions. I’ll definitely bring my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, I felt the dishes lacked the rich flavors that I associate with authentic Shanghainese cuisine. The service was friendly, but it took a while for our appetizers to arrive. The decor was pretty neat, reminiscent of Shanghai, but I expected the food to carry the same weight. If you're looking for an average meal, it might be an okay choice, but don't go in with high expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Auntie Qiu Kitchen is a fantastic find! I visited recently with my family, and we were treated to a feast of authentic Shanghainese dishes. The fish was fresh, and the sweet and sour pork really captures the essence of Shanghai. We loved every bite! The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for families or a cozy date night. I'll definitely be coming back for more and can’t wait to try their other menu offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed with my recent visit to Auntie Qiu Kitchen. I had heard amazing things about their dumplings, but the ones I tried were bland with an overly thick wrap which lacked the juicy filling I was expecting. The service seemed off too; we felt rushed despite the restaurant not being crowded. The only saving grace was the soy milk, which had the right amount of saltiness, but overall, I can't say the experience was worth it. " (*Curated Review*)
