Chef Zhao and his family founded the first Shanghainese restaurant in Fremont, Hometown Favorite, in 2003.
Chef Zhao and his family sold their entire business in May 2011 in order to expand their rest…
Really good chicken fried rice IF you specify "please use as little oil as possible, and no soy sauce". You can add soy sauce later (they add way too much for us).
It is generous on egg and good sized chicken pieces, also chicken is moist and tender as if roasted or rotisseried.

Crab Meatball 蟹粉狮子头 - found a piece of hair. Didn't get to try it.
Shanghai Spring 上海腌笃鲜 - AMAZING
Scallion Tossed Noodle 葱油拌面 - AMAZING
Sweet & Sour Pork Rib 糖醋排骨 - tastes pretty good but couldn't find one piece of meat with just one regular long bone in it. Seems like it's just scraps.
Sweet & Sour Rock Cod 松鼠石斑 - favor is okay but the fish was too over cooked. Not tender and kinda hard to chew.
Dong Po Pork 东坡肉 - not too flavorful, super oily.
Shanghai Traditional Pork Bun (6 Pcs) 上海大肉包 - skin was thick and meat was packed really hard and not juicy.
Pan-Fried Bun 生煎包 - tastes alright.

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

Beef can be improved, slices are a little thick. Beans and soup are perfect. Rice and pancakes slices are a little overpriced.

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
