Question 1

Is it worth going out of your way for?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for the specific combination of Michelin-recognized Shanghainese cuisine and its elevated, view-filled setting in Central. It's a destination for that regional tradition.

Question 2

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

For business dinners, date nights, or small celebrations where refined, shared Shanghainese dishes and a panoramic harbour perspective contribute to the occasion.

Question 3

What should you order?

Accepted Answer

Order for sharing, focusing on slow-braised signatures: the Jasmine Tea-Smoked Duck, Osmanthus Honey Glazed Jinhua Ham, Stir-fried Shredded Mandarin Fish, and the Lion’s Head Meatball.

Question 4

How do you get a table?

Accepted Answer

Book in advance, especially for window seats to secure the harbour view. The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner.

Question 5

Anything to know before you go?

Accepted Answer

This is Shanghainese, not Sichuan cuisine—expect rich, sweet-and-savory braises rather than ma-la heat. The pacing is deliberate, suited to a multi-course, shared meal.
