    This place is a no thrills, no cleanliness and no service joint. It's only worth trying if you're in the area already and have massive dumpling cravings.I guess they offer pretty good value. Read more

    Hi i like how i ask for hot lemon tea n i get ice in my hot lemon tea. Every wait staff avoids eye contact. Basically the service is ACTUALLY the "Taste of Shanghai"

    Made booking for 15 people, didn't have enough seats for the confirmed booking of 15?! Service was super slow, ordered pancake wraps. Filling came without the pancakes, wrap came half hour later. Wtf!

    There's always long lines for dinner, so coming early is a must

    The floor is like an ice skating rink. Be careful or you'll end up on your ass!! (Try the wontons in chilli oil).

    Come here for the dumplings. The shandong chicken was a bit dry.

    It's ok if u don't mind long wait. In terms of service, one of the worst I have ever seen. They need a better order management and workload distribution system to improve service.

    Crap service once again, only reason for revisiting is the food =) although Eastwood Garden Peking Restaurant quality is as good.

    They can't even cook rice (soggy), extremely rude staff who forgot to serve a dish then tried to lie about it. It was probably the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant ever.

    Food is pretty good here. Service is passable. Table staff are mostly silent and expressionless unfortunately.

    Staff has no knowledge about anything, not friendly, hard to communicate with. The food is not that good as some people describe it. Would never consider going back.

    Might as well have zombies wait the tables. They have more life in them.

    Food was good but service really bad. One of the waiters almost hit my sons head when serving the dumplings. Food also came out too slow. Do not recomm this place unless you know how to speak chinese
