Fodor's Review:
This stylish but casual eatery is a favorite of hip Chinese and expatriate regulars. The dining room is streamlined chic, its crisp white tablecloths contrasting the warm golden walls. Shanghainese food is the mainstay, with a few Sichuan dishes. From the extensive 26-page menu (in English, pinyin, and Chinese), you can order dishes like sliced you tiao (fried bread sticks) with shredded beef, a whole chicken in a green-onion soy sauce, and shaguo shizi tou (pork meatballs).
- Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

A perfect party

It's great for large groups for parties and the food is not oily. The menu is in English and it's almost all foreigners. The place is clean and so is the bathrooms.
Worth trying

As it's not easy to find this restaurant, you have to bring its address to show your driver. Several dishes were delicious but my Chinese teacher said she prefers to eat some dishes at the other local restaurants since they're cheaper and more delicious.
must stop eating...

I recommend this restaurant to everyone who visits Shanghai... the prices are excellent, the food very good, and, best of all, the menu is extremely easy to order from even for the most shy of diners. Though if you want spicy be sure to insist that it be spicy -- they may have become a little complacent with such a "white bread" clientele and tend to tone down most spicy dishes.
