We ordered 2 dimsums, 1 noodles, 1 rice cake and a 8 treasure rice as dessert. The stream buns and pan fried bums were hot and fresh. They were yummy. The noodles and rice cake were not bad but not much ingredients. The dessert rice was yummy. The bill was around $80. A bit on the expensive side. I'm not a fan of their member pricing. You pay $20 to become their member. Each dish may have $1-2 discount.
It is recommended to remove the word "Shanghai". It is really embarrassing for Shanghainese to cook the food like this and call it a Shanghai restaurant. Before opening a restaurant, it is recommended to go to other restaurants to see how the food is cooked. The attitude of the restaurant service staff is also extremely bad. It is suggested that the restaurant should remove the word “Shanghai” from the name of the restaurant, and not to call itself a Shanghai restaurant after cooking the dishes like this, it is truly a disgrace to the people of Shanghai.

The squirrel mandarin fish is not what I expected. I don't know why the fish is not whole. The fish body is divided into two pieces, so that the overall portion looks small. The fish was over fried, the meat was dry, and the toppings were too thick. The flavor of ginger and white pepper in the braised tofu with small yellow croaker is weak. The pickled pork tastes a bit greasy, and the aftertaste is that of old oil. Overall, it's not as delicious as the one downtown, but it's a pity that the one in DT is closed
The New Year's Eve reservation was canceled by Shikumen at 4: 45pm. Really unacceptable. You open for business at 11: 00 am, if you can't do it, why don't you cancel it earlier? My orders for Lunar new year's eve dinner were canceled at 4: 45pm. Not acceptable! I think you just don't care.
This place is absolutely horrible. I ordered their fried pork buns, they said it would take about 20 minutes. I had to wait twice the time and at the end when i got home I when I opened the container i saw that they burned the pork buns. It was basically charcoal, no wonder why i had to wait twice the time.
Overall decent restaurant, the Shanghai food is about as authentic as you can get in Toronto. I personally love a lot of their menu items. Prices are fair as well in this economy.
The service is pretty lackluster though. No rude waiters but they often forget your order/drink/anything else you ask for.
Just an okay-ish restaurant that's only worth it if you are looking for authentic Shanghai food. If you don't care for that, you are better off going to a nicer place.
Haven't been here for a long time, the taste is as good as ever. I think this is very rare in the catering industry. It not only tastes good, but also has many new dishes. I forgot to take the photo, because I rushed to eat it when I came up, hahaha. The boss and the proprietress are also very kind, all in all, praise!
I heard it’s a good Shanghainese restaurant so I’d done a takeout for my dad. I’d ordered steamed buns, pan fried bun, smoked fish appetizer. The wraps of the buns were thick, the fish was burned and dried. I was disappointed
I reserved a seat two days in advance, but when I arrived at the store that night, I found that the seat had been given to someone else without informing me in advance. It was a waste of time. Bad review! ! !
