Shanghai Grandmother Restaurant

• ★★★★★

  Visited Shanghai Grandmother and honestly… this place feels like eating at your grandma’s house, if your grandma is a very good Chinese chef 😄 The restaurant is usually quite busy, which is always a good sign. A lot of locals come here, so you know the food is legit. The menu has a wide variety of classic Chinese dishes, and most of them taste very “home-style” and comforting. Portions are generous (seriously, don’t order like you’re eating alone, unless you’re very hungry ). Prices are also quite reasonable for the quality and location.

  Honest, unpretentious Shanghainese cooking with generous family-style portions. We ordered what felt like the Shanghainese starter pack: hong shao rou (red-braised pork belly), braised eggplant, stir-fried green beans with minced pork, and scallion oil noodles. Every dish was savory without being oily, and the flavors felt comforting and balanced. It’s easy to see why Lonely Planet has recommended this place for years. A meal that offers an authentic introduction to the flavors of Shanghai.

  A restaurant famous among Koreans in Shanghai. The Chinese food, such as Hongshou Rou (Dongpo Pork) and Mapo Tofu, is delicious. The staff are very friendly, and the atmosphere inside is great as the restaurant recently moved to a larger space. The prices are also very reasonable, so I would like to visit again.

  The famous Shanghai-style braised pork is a well-known traditional dish and definitely something I wanted to try while visiting. The presentation was rich and appetizing, and you can tell it’s a classic local specialty. However, the taste just may not be for me. The dish is quite fatty and heavy, which made it a bit overwhelming after a few bites. It’s very rich, and I struggled to fully enjoy it. Other dishes were more enjoyable. The Hainan chicken was simple and well-cooked, and the vegetable dishes were fresh and balanced, which helped round out the meal. Worth trying for the cultural exper
