Have been there several times.
Quite many special dishes.
I especially like their xiao long bao which is juicy, taste good, very thin-pastry but not easy to break, quite easy to handle.
Many choices for dim sum and noodles with reasonable price, easy to share among couples.
Good to book in advance for big 12-ppl round tables or window seats facing Time Square.

This is an alternative choice to the many other restaurants, if you are in the Times Sqaure area. Medium price and decent food.

It’s quite noisy. I’ve been twice and not attractive enough to go back again, although this restaurant is OK.

Not bad choice, food was pretty decent not too oily and the prices average..a bit more expensive than crystal jade but the atmosphere was of a restaurant, better quality food and no queues!
Fairly standard menu but they have a few specialities like steamed buns, and we tried the mustard veg buns not bad, and the speciality shredded tofu skin which was nice and light but a bit pricey.
Service was ok but a bit patchy maybe cos our table was at the back.
Good alternative choice shanghainese restaurant for a quiet and decent quality dining experience.
