Always delicious and hot, and cooked well. The Honey Walnut Prawn / 核桃虾 is the best I've had anywhere, and the Deep-Fried Fillet with Seaweed / 苔条鱼片 is also delicious.

Sautéed Baby Bak Choy 鸡毛菜 had very little flavor The tofu in the Vegetarian Chef Zhao Special Tofu 素赵师傅豆腐 was way overdone and tasted burnt. The Eggplant & Jalapeño 尖椒茄子 was delicious, although not really any spice to it

Amazing Shanghainese food. Shanghai Soup in Claypot / 上海腌笃鲜 is tasty and comes in a big portion.

The combination of the vegetable fried rice with the Dongpo Pork and a glass of red wine is exceptional. I still believe the best dishes here are the tofu dishes paired with vegetable fried rice.
My 4 year old finished all of the dumplings only ...LOL

The vegetable & tofu dishes at Chef Zhao are excellent. 2 Tips; they are very fast at food preparation. Show 15 minutes early for pickup as you want it fresh. The Junmai Daiginjo sake in the drink section by the cash register and the green onion pancakes pair well with all of the dishes.
