A beloved neighborhood Shanghainese restaurant that locals trust for honest, home-style red-braised pork, lion's head meatballs, and smoked fish — the kind of food grandmothers used to make. The setting is unpretentious and the prices are fair for the quality. It can get crowded at peak hours and the English menu is limited, so come with a translation app.
