Take line 7 or line 13 to Changshou Road, then exit at 5. Follow Changde Road south until you reach Anyuan Road. Cross to the right side and you'll find the restaurant on your left, just before a large Starbucks. This hidden gem was a pleasant surprise to discover, as it is not always easy to find good restaurants in Shanghai. We were directed upstairs to our table, although the kitchen is located downstairs. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere, with modern interior and staff dressed in matching jade green uniforms. The manager, who spoke excellent English, inquired about any dietary restrictions we may have had and guided us on vegan-friendly options, despite the menu detailing ingredients clearly. While it was slightly more expensive than other options, the prices were reasonable. We were treated to a complimentary side of delicious pickled radish. Our order included tofu skin spring rolls, fried pea shoots, asparagus with lotus blossoms, and noodles with tofu in black sesame paste. The presentation of each dish was impeccable, with the spring rolls standing out for their unique taste, despite a slightly smaller portion size typical of upscale dining establishments. The noodles were a favorite, with the attentive server mixing them for us before serving. To top off our dining experience, my companion was surprised with a single rose on our visit, adding to the tranquil ambiance of the restaurant. We left feeling satisfied and looking forward to a return visit.
