This is a small restaurant located inside a mall, & it's a bit hard to spot from the outside. Once inside, you'll notice the clean & well-maintained interior. The space feels simple but cozy, & I was especially impressed by how clean the washroom was - a small detail that makes a big difference. The service was excellent. The waitress was friendly, warm, & took the time to chat with me. I really appreciated her positive attitude. She recommended some of their signature dishes, which turned out to be great choices. I was initially worried that I had ordered too much food, but she assured me it would be fine - & she was right! The portions were just right & left me feeling satisfied, not overstuffed. As for the food, it was very good. While it's not authentic Shanghai cuisine, it features a variety of dishes that you would commonly find in China. The flavors were spot-on, the ingredients tasted fresh, & everything was cooked to perfection. There's honestly nothing to complain about. Overall, it was a great experience. Tasty food, clean environment, & attentive service - I'll definitely be back!

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.

Très bon repas. La sauce aux arachides est très bonne. Je vais essayer autre chose sur le menus la prochaine fois. Je vous recommande d'essayer les xiao long bao pour un 1er essai je vous recommande les porcs sucrés x2 & aussi les X6 porc, poireaux & crevettes. Ils sont vraiment délicieux ça vaut la peine d'essayer. Moi-même je suis ne suis pas un fan de pâtes cuit à la vapeur mais ceux-ci sont vraiment exceptionnels. La sauce aux arachides est excellente je vous recommande d'essayer C4.
