Great place for dim sum! The place feels very cozy and plenty of seating. My SO and I got our favorite go to dim sum dish and it was super tasty! My favorite was the braised tripe. There was so much flavor. We also got the black sesame buns for dessert which was a little too sweet for me but still delicious. The food came out quickly and the server was very attentive. Will highly recommend if you haven't checked this place out yet!

All dim sum dishes from A to C are $4.99 on weekdays, Great value ! This is my go to dim sum restaurant, and dinner is also a must try. If you like shanghInese food, this is the restaurant.

Parking: Open, free lot. Underground parking is also available. I came here for breakfast/brunch. Their dim sum was typical and as you would imagine. They have all the basic items and it didn't feel overly indulgent. It was of higher than usual quality... Do I dare say... Lunasia level? Their dim sum didn't stand out more than any other spot, BUT they have Shanghainese fried fish, and that was what stood out in my mind. It was crispy, sweet, and savory. Nothing too fishy, but it just had great texture and flavor. I recommend ordering this if you order anything. Final verdict: I would come back for the fish and if it's convenient with no wait, dim sum.

The rice pilaf was so good! Shredded eel in soy sauce is also delicious! Pickled Atsushi and sesame seeds feel ordinary. The smoked fish is not authentic but delicious haha accidentally very juicy hahahaha Cinnamon lotus root is sweet and sticky! The jellyfish is delicious! If you don't like chilli, I don't recommend it, it's a sweet dish

Honestly - $24 per person at dim sum is quite the deal now a days. They charge 2 per person for tea. Dishes range from $4.99, $5.99 and $6.99. But we did get three specialty plates. Rounding up the price below for the sake of ease. This is what we got for a group of 8 which was pretty much a perfect order: Steamed Shrimp Dumpling ($6) - Standard. The skin was doughy. Comes in 4. Pork & Shrimp Shu Mai ($6) - meaty and delicious comes in 4. Funny that they mention roe on the menu, but that's pretty common. We were considering getting another order they were really good. Sticky Rice with Lotus Leaf ($6) - Not the best. Mushy and sticky. Though, some liked it more than others. Pork Bean Curd Roll w. Cordyceps ($7) - For those who like this. It's good Steamed Turnip Cake Preserved Meat ($7) - The group was torn. I liked the consistency. Like a mashed potatoes where you have to scoop it out of the dish, but most would rather have this pan fried. I'd skip this next time because of the price. Steamed BBQ Pork Buns ($6) - Standard and good. Sufficient amount of meat. Shrimp & Yellow Chives Rice Roll ($7) - Cut into 6 pieces. Super basic and a bit over priced. But each bite had a shrimp. Chinese Bread Stick Rice Roll ($5) The Chinese donut was thinner than usual. And more bite sized when cut into 6 pieces. Spring Rolls Stuffed with Three Delicacies ($6) - Good, crispy and HOT. Standard for egg roll lovers. Deep Fried Taro Ball ($5) - Large and simple. Not too oily. French BBQ Pork Buns ($6) - This is odd. There were Frosted Flakes cereal attached to it. Never had anything like this, but general consensus is that it made the buns too sweet. Skip it, they were silly. Portuguese Egg Tart ($6) - Basic and on the sweeter side. Baked Egg Yolk Custard Bun ($7)- Good and hot. More of a dessert Pan-Fried Baozi Stuffed w. Pork (12)- These were meaty, juicy and they GUSH. It was doughy and delicious. Steamed Bun Stuffed w. Pork (13) - I believe these are the XLB. The dumplings got stuck to the paper and the juice oozed out before getting to our plates. They gave us 4 complementary ones on the house which was so great of them. I'd go to a specialty XLB place instead for this dish. Sautéed Snow Pea Leaf w. Garlic (23) Inflation city. This plate of fiber was good, but not worth the price. My eating mate was here 10 years ago and distinctively remembered the tap water tasking funky and metallic. 10 years later, it still tasted a bit off. So I'd stick to the oolong tea that is dank and dark. I'd come back again to try all of the cheaper dishes priced at $5. It's standard, and done well. The chandeliers and the red walls give Titanic. There's a sufficient amount of people that there's good energy at 11:30AM on a Saturday and we didn't have to wait for a nice large table.

Tonight I had a banquet-style dinner at Shanghai No.1. The food was great and the service was top-notch. The appetizers that we ordered were all good and tasty. The smoke fish, 肴肉， and others. It also served dim sum during the morning.

4++ This is one of those places where it would be more ideal to come with a large group in order to order a bunch of items and share (banquet style?) It's a little hard to spot off the busy restaurant street of Valley Blvd in SGV and it's on the second floor of a strip mall. It's obvious they specialize in Shanghai food, but I believe the have other regional stuff on their extensive menu. It has a very classy /woodsy feel to the space with worn hardwood floors, large tables/booths, and chandeliers. Like if you kidnapped me and I woke up in this place and you told me I was in a restaurant in lower east Manhattan, I would believe you. As mentioned above, this place is ideal for larger groups, but wanted to come here to get their pan fried dumplings on a whim. Since I was by myself, I didn't want to just get the dumplings, but couldn't order a lot, so I got a basic staple: the shrimp fried rice. The fried rice was super tasty as expected, but the dumplings were excellent. I got the recommendation off of a food podcast and wasn't disappointed. Juicy and crispy/soft and loaded with sesame. Very very good! Might be some of my favorite dumplings in SGV. Also, either forgot or didn't realize it was on Jonathan Gold's list. This place has received some accolades over the years and I see why. Definitely would love to come back with a bigger group.
