"Given the name of this place, we obviously tried to go with Shanghainese dishes. Unfortunately in terms of Shanghainese food, this place is not as authentic as I expected. We ordered pork soup dumplings (quite disappointed), Shanghai wonton soup (ok), drunken chicken (excellent), cold sesame noodles (good), cucumber in spicy sauce (ok), pork mustard green noodles (ok), and smoke bacon fried rice (good but a little too greasy). The dish portion is huge and the service is quite nice!"

Cute restaurant near the Princeton Junction station--it seems to be a fairly popular spot amongst older West Windsor and Princeton locals. The service was excellent; all our food came in really quickly, and the staff were lovely. The XLB (pork soup dumplings) that we ordered as an appetizer were the highlight of our dinner. They were fresh, hot, juicy, and flavorful. Even family members who almost always avoid pork in every form were delighted by the dumplings. Everything else we tried was...disappointing. The fried dumplings with chicken and string beans weren't particularly flavorful. They almost tasted of raw string beans? I'm not sure if this was intentional. The pad thai was far too swe...
Was not impressed by the food here. Felt like it was more for Americans than authentic Chinese food. Beef noodle soup was average and broth was not as tasty. The salt flavor was on the bottom so you have to stir before eating. Cucumber appetizer didn't have that much flavor either. Just salty and barely spicy. Soup dumplings were lacking flavor but did have some soup inside. Lo mien was average. Fried fish fillet had huge pieces but it would have been nice if they cut it into smaller pieces before frying for ease of eating. Not that kid friendly since they didn't like it when kids talked loudly or laughed. Had to also ask multiple times for forks.
Been here many times and this is a great local go-to spot for us. Of course the Shanghai buns are a must have. The vermicellli noodles are delicious and I personally like the rice cake with bacon. We tried the chili beef special, which was disappointing since it was like beef boiled with chili sauce. All good, wanted to try new things but that wasn't for me. It can get very busy on the weekends, much better on weekdays. Food is great, the service is ok, could be friendlier (depends who you get), but I'd overlook that because I like the food!
Excellent service and delicious straightforward Taiwan/HK Chinese food. XLB was on the bigger side. Juicy soft meat and super hot mouthing burning tasty soup, that's how it should be. Scallion pancake light and airy, Sesame honey pork ribs, nice tangy sweet and crunchy. Shrimp cashew but got a slurry soupy version without cashew. My mandarin is not as good as my Cantonese, so might have said the wrong thing? But receipt actually said cashew shrimp! Shrimp fried rice standard with plump my shrimp, not close to being over cooked.
