Not bad. The proportions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The open kitchen is both unique (for a restaurant in Richmond) and reassuring. I think I like it even more than Vogue, although Vogue has some spicy dishes that I really like. I agree about Shanghai Wonderful. I went last year it was pretty forgettable.

Looks like I need more experience with Shanghainese food to be a better judge of quality :) Care to suggest a few good ones? I just tried Shanghai Wonderful restaurant across from Landsdowne mall last week, but it was more suited for larger parties and we didn't get very good value with just 2 people.

I have to say I was a little disappointed. Now I realize the juicy buns are your typical shanghai dumplings and they were ok. I was hoping to see more varieties of buns but only found the usual. We tried the chinese onion cake which was very good, crispy and just right. However, the dan dan noodles were not spicy enough. The $1.99 special at Hui Jun is better. The roast beef crepe was tasty but we only got 4 piecies, compared to the five in your photo. Watching the open kitchen provided some entertainment, but they mostly seemed like they were putting in a half hearted effort and weren't really enjoying what they were doing. Overall, I probably would not return as there are better shanghai restaurants in Richmond. Based on your pictures and review, my firend and I tried this restaurant today.

The roast beef crepe roll looks good too. Thanks for the photos and review. Finallly, a restaurant where I can try juicy buns. The roast beef crepe roll looks good too.
