Shanghai Shikumen Fine Cuisine

Food tasted sweet, not my cup of tea. However, the meats and ingredients they use are good quality.

Traditional Shanghai dishes and dimsun, fusion with other tasty Chinese foods, yummy and good presentation, reasonable price. Friendly services and spacious seating.

Cute decor, great place for families. Service was quick and friendly, but they forgot our lobster. The xlb were great, chicken was tiny, all the other dishes were decent.

If you miss Shanghai food, this is the place. Packed with strong savouring flavours and quick service. Heard their Sui lo Boa makers went to the Dan Tai Fung. Their Sui lo Boa is even better if you ask me. You can purchase $20 forever discount card for dine in and take out 10% Off. I got one

I wish I loved this restaurant more since my family has been looking for a Shanghainese restaurant in the GTA for a while now. Unfortunately, I think there were more misses than hits here - accentuated by their higher price point. We ordered the Shanghai Style Five-Spice Fried Fish ($16.99), Egg in Braised Meatball ($21.99), House Special Braised Pork ($24.99) and Gluten with Mushroom in Casserole ($17.99). None of this is considered cheap - especially that braised pork, which only ended up being a small portion! That was the biggest disappointment, as the pork was not hot and there was no sauce at all. It ended up being quite dry in the mouth, while the flavour was okay. The casserole was good, as well as the meatballs. It was a bit weird to see the classic Lion's Head Meatballs made this way, with an egg in the middle. The portion was very good though and the taste was decent. The spiced fish wasn't my favorite - while the flavour was right, the texture was odd. I usually like my spiced fish a bit more dried out and with the bones easier to pick out or even crispy enough to just eat. Overall, I may be back to try some of the other dishes. It was quite busy when we went (Saturday night) which is great for the business. I think we could find some dishes we do like, just would not re-order the majority of what we ordered today. It ended up being $98 including tax.

I'll try other Shanghai else cuisine just to do some comparison. Pics showed what we ordered and here's some thoughts: 1. Xiaolongbao was pretty authentic, but needed to be consumed fast or the juice will dry out. 2. The fried fish (熏鱼）were little too salty and it tasted fishy, due to the fact that it was certainly made of frozen carps. Will not recommend. 3. Shengjianbao (生煎包）has the right look but the filling tasted strange, like stale pork. 4. Wontons were pretty good. 5. The tofu w/crabmeat was a total disaster, only tasted fishy and dry crabmeat, even though tofu was cooked well. 6. Fried Spring rolls with pork and napa cabbage filling again too salty and not the right taste. I felt like they were taken from the freezer. Service and atmosphere were great. Not sure if I'd come back. I've lived and worked in Shanghai for more than 20 years since the mid - 80s, I'm sure I qualify to provide inputs objectively to the Shanghai dishes we were served.

We ordered 2 dimsums, 1 noodles, 1 rice cake and a 8 treasure rice as dessert. The stream buns and pan fried bums were hot and fresh. They were yummy. The noodles and rice cake were not bad but not much ingredients. The dessert rice was yummy. The bill was around $80. A bit on the expensive side. I'm not a fan of their member pricing. You pay $20 to become their member. Each dish may have $1-2 discount.

We came here for the dumplings but they ended up being a side note to the dishes we ordered. We just loved the braised eggplant- was so delicious! We also loved the egg meatballs. Scallion noodles were good as well. Looking forward to coming back to try other dishes. No idea about authenticity, but just know we enjoyed the food.
