    I frequently visit this place due to amazing dishes. And I have never had any reservations. This time around, however the service was much less attentive than usual. We waited excessive amount of time for someone to comment take our order. The plates were left on the table way too long before they were cleared. Absolutely no issues with the food whatsoever is always delicious

    This has been a favorite of ours for a while. This visit was less than expected. There was a drop in the food quality. The dumplings were not hot. The steamed soup dumplings were room temperature when at the table. Hot and sour soup was also lukewarm. Disappointing. The Peking duck was good. The fried rice, vegetables were just meh. Scallops were excellent. The beef tenderloin was soft but nothing special. Not sure what happened at Shanghai Terrace. Will be a while before we return. Service was excellent.
