Reservations here are an art. Call ahead, and keep in mind that they don’t care if you arrive at all, they just want you to leave at a certain time for the next table. Agree to this, or you won’t get a table. It’s worth it.
Its comfortable, old-school Shanghai environment can sometimes be swept up in the hustle and bustle of its popularity, especially during peak hours. Always packed, reservations are an absolute must, even for weekdays. Sometimes described as a dining rollercoaster, due to the spotty service (from the restaurant being so busy), the food is what keeps people coming back.
Tempting dishes include their house special, Wine-poached “drunken” Pigeon, Chinese “ham sandwich” (Ham cooked in Osmanthus Honey served with bun and crispy bean sheets), Eggplant with Minced meat, Shanghai fried noodles, and Beijing Sheep Meat Hotpot. They also serve cold dishes, which are on the smaller side, as well as set meals for 4, 10, and 12 people.
One branch is located on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, lot of shops around, and many worth places to go like bars, cinemas after meal, while the other one is in Times Square , Causeway Bay.
Expect to spend $100 – 200 for lunch and dinner. Cash only!
Hours: Open daily, 11:30AM-23:30.
