" Had a wonderful experience at Auntie Qiu Kitchen! We were a party of four celebrating a friend's birthday, and the restaurant went above and beyond. The staff was very accommodating, and the food was spot-on Shanghainese. I particularly loved the drunk chicken, which was flavored just right. The only downside was that it got busier as the night went on, and we had to wait a bit for our dessert. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend this place for its authenticity and homely feel. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Auntie Qiu Kitchen while looking for authentic Shanghainese food and boy, was I impressed! The service was friendly right from the start, and the ambiance was cozy with lovely decorations resembling Shanghai's streets. I tried their signature pan-fried bun, and it was bursting with flavors, reminding me of my trip to Shanghai! Everything tasted fresh and homemade. I can't wait to return for a bigger meal next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed the food at Auntie Qiu Kitchen but thought the price was quite high for the portions served. My noodles were delicious, but I could have done with a bit more meat for the price. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, and the staff were friendly, but I felt efficiency in service could be improved. Despite this, I would still recommend the place for a good dining experience. " (*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*)

" I didn’t have a great experience at Auntie Qiu Kitchen. The atmosphere was nice, but the food lacked authenticity. I ordered multiple dishes, and sadly, they all tasted off. The service was average but not really helpful when I raised my concerns about the food's quality. I left a bit disappointed and likely won’t be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
