I arrived at about 2 o’clock on Monday afternoon and ordered the lunch special (broiled beef) at 12.95. To be honest, it’s better than any braised beef I have eaten before. The presentation is very beautiful, which is beyond imagination. I chatted with the lady boss for a while, only to realize that this chef has 40 years of experience, and the lady boss gave me an extra bowl of rice, which is definitely worth recommending.

Taste:
Beautiful food.. very delicious. Ask for none- spicy if your friends don't like it. Traditional Chinese food not the balls-soaked-in-red-sugar kinda restaurant. The food is delicious! I've been coming here for a while and I was never disappointed. Don't order the stuff you get in other Chinese restaurants. Order their traditional dishes. Those for sure will satisfy easily. I haven't had a dish that was not delicious so far.
Service:
This lady is the only one who has been serving me for the past couple of years. She's nice and the food usually takes from 10-20 minutes

The food is really fresh & healthy, authentic Nanjing taste, but the Shanghai dishes also are very delicious & decent. The service is perfect, they are very friendly and conversational!

Best authentic Shanghai restaurant food is amazing and the owner is such a sweetheart. So many dishes to choose but my go to would be Shanghai rice Came, Peking duck, broccoli with egg white and fish and of course soup dumpling and pork.

The service isn't as fast as other similar places but I think I enjoyed the dessert selection more. I wish prices were better. This is a place you'll find a lot of young people and young families. Hopefully they eventually get a better location and make it more of a date spot as the atmosphere is lacking but it still gets very busy. We ordered a variety of desserts: sweet potato latte, various shaved iced milk dishes like strawberry, tiramisu, blueberry and one other that I forgot but it tasted like peanut butter with almonds. I also had the ginger lemon drink. We all shared each dish and everything

I don't know why so many people marked down this place, as a shanghainese I have to say that Tian Xin proprietary was the best shanghai cuisine I ever tried in Toronto. I love the sweet lotus root it tasted like my Mon used made for me at home.

The owner was nice and kind when we walked in. We ordered xiao long baos, dumplings and steam friend bun which I thought it was better than what I had in most places. As other yelpers mentioned, the food was pricey and I have to agree with that. I would come back to eat again.

Came here for xiao long bao (soup dumplings) but the restaurant is pricier than other places and also less tasty. Server was kind but did not speak English, so she messed up our order and kept bringing us food from other tables. Would not come again.

Absolutely not a fan. I'm aware that this place has won awards, but I found the food to be underwhelming and overpriced. We came here with a friend who is a regular at this place, and I left very disappointed.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, listed below.

Choice of Four Cold Dishes ($45)
Firstly, the price point of the assorted four cold dishes is embarrassingly high. The portions that are provided are minute compared to the cost! That said, I did find the cold dishes to be among the better of what we ordered that night. The four that we chose are as follows.

It’s rare to find authentic Nanjing (capital city of six dynasties in ancient China) food in Toronto! Chef/owner of this restaurant actually used to work for the most prestigious restaurant in Nanjing decades ago.

Consistently great food and very friendly owners. Some of the best Shanghai food in town. I highly recommend the xiao long bao as it's always hot and soupy with a thin wrapper, and the pan fried buns.

This is one of the best Shanghai-ese restaurant in GTA, and yes, they have the best soup dumpling. I love to order the dishes on their recommendation list (however, they only write in Chinese in the list). Their "squirrelfish", sweet and sour ribs are also my favourite dishes in this restaurant. Must visit again and find more fav dish :-D

I've been to this restaurant a few times, and the quality is pretty decent. Foods to try include the dumplings, green onion pancake, drunken chicken, sesame biscuit and thick noodle beef soup. Quantity is not bad, but it's a bit pricier than competitors like Asian Legend. Seating is comfortable, not too crowded. Large parking lot too. Good for lunch for families or small groups.

I've been all around the city looking for the best soup dumplings, and this place has the best by far! The owners are incredibly accommodating and sweet. They provide excellent service and are always smiling. Every time I go, I try something new, and their quality never disappoints. I strongly recommend you try this restaurant out. If you do, I'll see you there, since I now seem to be a regular!

I was quite disappointed in the food presentation, quality, pricing and overall in general. This restaurant is inside a plaza with the Korean Marketplace and some Korean restaurants..There has been a few changes here...I noticed a few different shanghainese restaurants changed for the same location but the food hasn't improved at all...

Their lunch specials had alot of choices but we did not end up choosing anything for the lunch specials lists as it wasn't very appealing..

Service wasn't attentive and it did take awhile for the food to arrive. We ended up ordering beef brisket

I came here for lunch as it was nearby one of my relatives places. Seeing how I always seem to notice this time every time I go to Legend, I decided to try it out.

We ordered the following:

- Xiao long bao x 2: I'm a sucker for the crab meat filling, which this place has. For some reason I do prefer crab meat over the regular pork broth, and this place was no exception. However considering the price I paid ($7.25 x 2) I still prefer Ding Tai Fung's, even though theirs don't have crab meat.

- Drunken chicken: The slices were quite small compared to Ding Tai Fung...also the alcohol

Went here because Legend Chinese Restaurant closed on us after calling in and this was the closest Chinese restaurant that was "open". Actually when I went in there and asked if they were open it was actually near past their closing time, but the owner said it was okay and our group of 10 people went in for dinner after watching a play.

We ordered 6 dishes off the menu based on the pictures

Onion pancake
Cold cuts (tofu, drunken chicken, meat+rice noodle with peanut sauce)
2 orders of siaw long pao (since there were 10 of us)
fish topped with egg
Shang Hai style pig belly

Lunch Specials Mon to Friday till 3 pm for $6.99 at Tian Xin Place which is a Chinese restaurant that specialized in Shanghai cuisine.

Their lunch specials though has a lot of selections but they are really all an entree that comes with a bowl of rice and a choice of soup or soy drink.

I should have ordered the dumplings and other shanghai dim sum... but since I could never resist lunch specials I decide to try:

Fish Filet with Sweet and Sour Sauce and their hot and sour soup ($6.99) was disappointing... As there were more batter than the fish filet itself. OK my mistakes to order this as
