This strip mall Chinese place looks unpromising from the outside, but within the food & service are excellent. We had fried & soup dumplings, which the server explained were hot & explosive, & he showed us how to eat them. Not a fancy restaurant, but an excellent value.

Ordered delivery from this restaurant this evening. Some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The fried rice was decent, but everything else (general tao, spring rolls, dumplings) were barely edible. Even the soup was suspect… I've never seen brown algae floating in a Won Ton soup. Will not order from here again.

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.

I almost don't want to rate this place so high, in case more people find it! Some of the BEST dumplings I've had on the South Shore. Xiao long bao were beautiful, tons of flavour, & plenty of soup. Lots of options for fried & steamed dumplings, as well as more typical plates for friends who prefer noodles/fried foods. Service was a little confused (different servers kept coming back to my table after I'd already paid) but I can't wait to go back!
