Hey, I’ve been here! (amazing because we don’t eat out much) I had the xiao loong bao, which I love.

I’ll have to try the bork belly dish — looks de-lish! I can’t remember the Cantonese for pork belly, but I do remember my dad translated what he calls it to ‘five story building’ — a reference to the five layers of meat and fat in good pork belly.

Yeah, they have pretty bad service. There was one time the server was arguing with a customer and the manager did nothing other than imply that it was the customer’s fault. But what can you do, the food is good!

If you want some Shanghai food that’s on par with Top Shanghai (if not better), but with much better service, try the Shanghai place across the street in the Nandos/Pho plaza. I highly prefer their noodles and xiao long bao to Top Shanghai’s.

Hahaha….I love it, good stuff. It’s great you guys went – poor service aside (did they instruct you to finish up your meal within an hr?), they do have good food there. And I haven’t actually stuck to my rule – I have stepped foot in the restaurant, but only to do takeout. I still haven’t had a sit-down meal there after saying “never again”. :-)
