Wow is all i gotta say! Went with Wifey and kid, sooo delicious. Looks like they have some killer night time specials too. Cant wait to go back one day when I gotta impress someone out of town.
Fabulous food and service. Servers frequently checked to see if teapots were filled and were quick to take away empty plates. The owner was very approachable and came back a few times to check on us and had friendly conversations. A great dining experience.

A pleasant surprise if you're looking for congee 'dai lan', tapas style sharing plates, mostly deep-fried.
Congee is highly recommended, smooth and healthy.
White table cloth, great service.
Have been going back ever since we saw their $10 coupon on Safeway receipts in Richmond stores only.
Groupon time!! We came here on a holiday which wad a Monday. Apparently the Groupon didnt say its not valid on stat holidays but the waitress said if I want, need to charge 4 dollars more which is okay. We get to pick 1 appetizer, 1 cold plate, 1 soup, 2 dishes, dessert. We picked wild milan salad with beancurd ,beef wrap, Shanghai wonton soup, sweet and sour pork, shanghai stir fry noodle, deep fried stuff red bean paste cake. They all taste pretty good but a little pricy. The waitress and manager are so nice and smile a lot even though they are busy which is good because most asian restaurant I been to, the workers face are like not smiling and look mad and stress.

After my last bad review, I went back to try their afternoon menu. I know lot of Shanghai Restaurant I can go but the sitting environment is very clean and comfortable and services are not bad. This time I was really happy with their Xiao Lung Bao (very thin almost translucent wrap, packed with soup and pork meat inside). Panfried Dumpling (Crispy bottom, juicy inside). You can see the chef made them freshly and not previously frozen. If you are to order their hot Soya milk sweet/salty version. I would recommend ordering the Crispy Chinese Bread. The above mentioned dishes are far best in Richmond that I have had. Good job!!
First time went there for dinner 2 weeks ago. Ordered 4 people set menu, added two veggie dishes and Xiao Lung Bao. The Peking duck came in sliced pieces with wrapping bread. Taste was okay just the skin is not crispy as our liking. Duck Soup and other dishes overall was good and flavorful.
So we went back and thinking to order the same set dinner but they have new set dinner menu and some of the dishes are not attractive so we ordered from a la cart menu. The Peking duck is better than last time but the wrapping bread came moldy, green dotted spot around the edges. At first, we wasn't sure as few kids ate the wrap and thought it tasted wired. So when I closely looked at it and bite to it. It's mold for sure. The waitress apologized and brought us new wrapping bread. I know the kitchen can gets busy but this is really scary. They definitely need to pay more attention to their foods and kitchen. Otherwise, the health authorities will pay a visit soon. Will I go back? .....
Overall, although those dishes featured in the GROUPON deal did not sound super exciting, I found them all well executed and delicious. Sometimes finding great quality on simple dishes really says something special about the chef of the restaurant. I don’t think this deal is known by a lot of people yet, as it took a few moments for our server to figure out what this deal was with the chef. It also caught me by surprise of how good the quality was on the Xiaolongbao and the Hot and Sour soup. They seem to have a mix of different dishes from different Chinese regions, but the chef must be a master of Shanghai cuisine as it was heavily featured here. The price looks a little higher on their regular menu, but I definitely recommend this GROUPON buy.
New owner!! This restaurant trumps the previous "Nu Shanghai" and I don't think a lot of people has realized its under new ownership with new menu. The Shanghai dumplings here are AMAZING! Plump and juicy with thin skin to rival that of din tai fung's. Love many dishes here like their crab pearl rice, marinated duck egg roll, daikon pastry and tan tan noodles...I can go on. They feature dishes from diff regions of China so there is always something on the menu to cater all tastes. I've returned for lunch and few dinners. Will definitely keep going back!
I was invited to another Chinese Bites dinner and this time it was at Nu Chinese Bistro. It’s located at Cosmo Plaza on Garden City and McKim Way. It’s on the second floor and the plaza was a bit difficult to find since there are so many there and I wasn’t sure which one it was. The restaurant looks pretty new and since they are located on the second floor they get lots of lighting.
Nu serves up great Shanghainese flavor dishes. The Xiao Long Bao is very tasty and big, definitely one to try in Richmond.

Bigger portions than I expect. 011 shredded chicken and mung bean pasta salad $7.95 3/5 - too bad there wasn't any cucumber and peanut. The texture of the fen pi (mung bean sheet) was above average.
156 ham and winter melon soup $12.95 3.5/5 - Portion was big. Too bad they used bacon instead of Chinese ham. It was a little saltier than I wanted.
183 sticky rice wrap with dried seaweed $4.95 3.75/5 - Very crispy with a softer centre.
185 deep fried Chinese donut $2.95 4/5 - I'm pretty sure they were freshly deep fried in-house. The filling was very moist too. Nothing comparable to those they were re-fried.
186 xiao long bao (juicy pork dumplings) $5.95 3.5/5 - lots of soup inside. I found the skin thin but still able to hold the weight.
224 pumpkin pancake $5.95 3/5 - The menu didn't say it has red bean filling. I was expecting something similar to the deep-fried Yam Rice Cake from City 1. Very disappointing.
portions were bigger than expected. I heard this place was pricy with small portions. I found $15/pp pretty reasonable.
Genuine Shanghainese food, very tasty !
The preparation are as good as the food.
Dumpling was really juicy, you can actually suck the soap from the dumpling, the wrapper was thin and soft ! (forgot to take picture)
The spiciness of the Sichuan Boiled fish was just right ! Easy for everyone. The fish was very well cooked.
Price is very reasonable. Definitely a “Come again” restaurant.
This traditional Shanghainese restaurant offers beautiful & comfortable seating, steady quality of dishes and attending service. The most impressive dish is the mouth watering Siu long boa. The soup and meat inside in super thin wrappings is absolutely marvellous! The Double crabs with glutinous rice cake is done perfectly and the portion is really big for a 8 people set dinner. The stew pork hock is the highlight of all, and done so tenderly and it melt in your mouth. The salted meat and veggie fried rice in a stone heated bowl wrapped up this beautiful meal!
Note. Cash only
Not bad, I was told it wasn’t very good. But today going to my normal restaurants and having been rejected as 3 of them were closed I was downstairs from this place.
I’m glad we tried it. The spacious restaurant was a bit quiet however the food was delicious and delightful. The only issue I had was the vegetarian dumplings (too salty).
Found this hidden gem of Shanghainese food recently! Can't believe I missed out for so long. Love the soup dumplings, Chinese donuts and soy milk. To be honest, everything is so delicious here. Usually Shanghainese food are more to the flavourful side...But their flavours are fantastic. Not overly salty, just right. They also have a good team of servers, friendly and patient.
This is one of my favourite Shanghainese restaurant in Richmond. Clean, elegant interior decor and excellent service. The food quality just keeps getting better and better! I've highly recommended this place to all my friends and family.
Came here to try a lunch deal purchased from Groupon, and it was a pretty good experience. Food was great, service was fast, place was nice and clean. The lunch deal had a lot of options too.
