Ordering was done on a tablet at the table. Sushi was delivered on a monorail system. A robot delivered the water. Food was a bit pricey considering there are only 3-4 pieces per roll. I liked the seared salmon nigiri best. Would pass on getting the rainbow roll, it was mediocre.

Things I tried:
* Shanghai Dumpling w/ Crab Meat
* Shanghai Dumpling w/ Minced Pork
* Pan Fried Pork Soft Buns
* Fried Turnip Pastry
* Deep Fried Bean Curd Skin w/ Mushroom
* Fried Shanghai Style Rice Cakes

Not sure if we came on an off day because I thought the food was mediocre. Some of my usual favourites weren’t executed well here so I was a bit disappointed.

Items I would order here:
•crab soup dumplings - The xiao long bao soup base had the sweetness of fresh seafood. My only wish was for more soup! 😂
•sheng jian bao - This also lacked soup but it was nicely fried. What they lacked in soup made up in the quality of pork. The meat filling was less fatty compared to the buns sold in crystal mall, which may explain why there were less juices in these buns…
•Deep fried bean curd skin with mushroom

Items I would pass on:
•turnip pastry - The radish and green onions inside the pastry tasted really strong, almost like raw? Usually, they would sauté the ingredients inside the pastry. The whole pastry was quite dry.
•Shanghai stir fry rice cakes - I think this was over cooked, it was too soft & not chewy enough. Flavour was lacking, the chef could have added more salt or soy sauce.
