I went to eat a few days ago. The staff were very friendly & greeted me right away. I ordered a plate of grilled chicken & beef with rice & salad. Everything was delicious. They even brought me a jug of water with sliced lemons inside. On my next visit I will definitely try the Pho soup, they have a 50% off on the second one on Wednesday. Great place to eat overall. I would recommend to anyone.

This hidden gem of a restaurant serves exceptional food, especially their dumplings. The General Tsao chicken consisted of proper pieces of chicken (& not a slim piece of chicken meat surrounded by overwhelmingly deep fried batter). The proportions & selection were just right, each plate was plenty for the typical person. For those that are hungry, their variety of choices would remedy that hunger. As for the service they were kind & courteous ensuring that we lacked nothing as well as inquiring about feedback about the taste. The decor is modern & the eloquent painted murals add a nice touch. I'll mention that we were served in French but I'm certain that the staff can serve in English as well as many Chinese dialects. I've added 1930 Shanghai to my list of favorite Chinese style restaurants. Thanks to the staff at 1930 Shanghai. I'll be seeing you often from this point forwards.

Delicious- from the Pork & Coriander Long bao to the General Tao (with actual chicken not scraps of gross leftovers), & very good portion sizes, it is worth a trip or even to order via Uber. They even have Lotus Lead Sticky Rice! Some dishes last me two meals or can be shared as the portions are generous - even the small wonton soup. Very clean & tidy restaurant.
