This restaurant truly embodies the flavors of old Shanghai. I highly recommend the scalloped prawns and shredded eel in soy sauce—traditional Shanghainese dishes! They're representative of local cuisine! The service is also excellent, with the waiters being very polite. The decor is also quite opulent and nostalgic.

It was great to be able to sample a variety of Chinese dishes, and most importantly, the flavors were perfectly suited for Koreans. The restaurant's clean interior further enhanced the dining experience. It was very good!
