My wife dropped in to pick up some take out dinner. The lady owner was nice to tell my wife to call her directly instead of ordering online. That is a nice personal touch especially for a first timer here. I personally loved the stir fried rice cake with classic Shanghai flavours. And there was a sunny side egg served with it which is odd because this is a first for me with this dish. The dumplings and wontons are all home made and they all had their own distinctive textures and seasonings. Good stuff. When I saw the sheer amount of items that are available, I was a bit shocked . But hey, as long as the food is good … who am I to judge right? This is a local mom and pop business run by hard working blue collar folks who deserve our support. Happy eats everyone

A small restaurant running by the owner. They offer mainly Shanghai style food, cook to order. Although it is not really authentic but is fresh. The menu actually covers great varieties from snack, dumplings, noodle soup to main course. Price us reasonable and services are friendly.

It's so nice to finally have something that's even close to good Shanghainese soup dumplings within all of Mississauga/Etobicoke/Oakville (would have to drive out to Markham to find better and pricier). It's not the best that I've had but with the prices they charge, i don't think we could ask for more. Having said that, it's pretty good!! We'd definitely come back! Especially considering there is no alternative as other spots don't have soup inside their soup dumpling where it costs significantly more Everything is made there so will take time (I'd much prefer this than getting something premade which would taste awful). We had the crab soup dumplings, pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried soup dumplings. Their menu is extensively Shanghainese. Will definitely come back for the other items on the menu as well. Bonus tip: unlike for delivery (tip the driver), they don't accept tip when dining in (i tried to give them tip but they refused). Soup dumplings are meant to be had right out of the steamer so this is a no brainer to come in and enjoy it there. Second time we went we got kaufu (gluten with sweet soy sauce with peanuts and mushroom - if you have celiac disease, avoid this dish but it's a refreshing appetizer for those who don't have the allergy - recommend it cold), rice cake with pork and cabbage, Shanghai alley wonton soup, shanghai style fried potstickers, sticky rice shumai, dumplings with peanut sauce over it (recommend it cold), and lions head meatballs (just a name to describe giant meatballs) as pictured. Third time we visited, we got stuff i didn't know was Shanghainese but my Shanghainese friend in NY recommended me to try: soup with bamboo shoot and pork belly, braised pork belly with bok choy, shanghai style spring roll with pork cabbage and mushroom, and got the kaufu as appetizer once more. Loved it all!!
