Modern City Chinese Restaurant

Food was ok as was the service. The pan fried buns seem to be fresh made as when when they first arrived, the center top point dough seemed still raw. We sent this dish back and they remade the dish and second time was a little better, but still a small amount of raw dough.Fkavour was decent though. The orange peel beef dish was tasty and crispy, but the way they achieve there crispiness is just good when fresh. We couldn't finish this dish and reheating this dish next day, the coating was a soggy powdery mess. The mu-shu pork tasted ok. Flavour was nothing special. You get a decent portion for this dish but the wrappings seemed a little thicker than I expected. Overall, not a bad experience and I would try them again if craving Shanghai food in Kerrisdale.

This is a great place to go for authentic Shanghainese food. Everything we ordered tasted great. The service was fast and friendly as well.

Very, very poor service! They start turning off the lights by 8:30pm and rushing us to leave, so they can close @9pm! Then the menu pricing are not all the same. The menu we got compared with the bill is around $2 difference. We asked them why and the serve start shoving all the menus to us and showed us the price change!! But the menu we got did not have the price changed. They didn’t give us the difference or apologize. Most importantly, my husband and I had a tummy ache all night....the food definitely was not clean and fresh!! Hope they close down and not scam and hurt customers again.

Not a fancy place, but food is mostly very nice.

We used to like this restaurant because their good northern style Chinese food at a very affordable price. But a recent visit changed our impression about this restaurant. The food quality is going down hill. Our used to favorite pan fried pork bun become a much smaller size bottom deep fried bun. The $8.50 lunch special stirred fried noodle served as small as a dish of dim sum. It is not a good valued restaurant any more and I will go some where else!

Food is OK; nothing to write home about. In fact, the quality has gone down over the years. Only their cold duck dish is still good. The seating is packed as tight as possible. And they are always short of staff. So the service level is below what can be expected in usual Chinese restaurants. Overall, I wouldn't mind going there with family for a casual lunch or supper; but I would make an effort to go there either.

Great northern China style cooking. Of course they lack fresh food in traditional China compare to southern China for fresh steam seafood. As northern Chinese food, the taste and quality are good. Friendly service always with a smile and proudly serve you.

This is when we are lazy to go anywhere else for Northern style Chinese or dumpling type food. Overall xiao long bao, dumplings, fried roundish rice noodle and noodle soups are good. My children and husband likes the food as well. My mother on the other hand seems to be able to pick and say the food is slightly oily, etc., but it could be the dishes that we usually pick as well. - if you have read my other review, my mom is the real food critic!

The Xiaolongbao here is excellent one of the best in the city, up there with Top Shanghai in Richmond in my opinion, and most of the dim sum dishes I have tried have ranged from average to excellent. I can't speak for any of the other dishes though, but I think it's good dim sum for a decent price.

Good food, rude server. I went to this restaurant with my extended family including three generations and the server proceeded to lecture everyone about how the grandchildren should have learned Chinese, in Cantonese. Very disappointing because I used to really enjoy eating here. Come here if you would like to feel badly about yourself. Otherwise, save the trip and go to Peaceful Noodle instead for your XLB.
