S & W China Taste 上海小吃

Food tastes good, but had to wait for over thirty minutes to get all three dishes of our food. That’s too long of a wait, especially when the fried rice came out last and there weren’t many customers inside the restaurant. I didn’t appreciate they kept lying that the fried rice would be out soon but in fact it took thirty minutes to cook. Ambiance was tarnished when I heard the female waitress nagged about how little tip she received from her customers. That was plain wrong and she felt entitled to more tips?

Just checked out the menu and you will know it's authentic shanghainese cuisine. Prices are reasonable, the taste is amazing. The place is quite small, they don't take reservations. I always like to go a little before dinner time, If you don't want wait. I noticed they do a lot of takeouts. My favorites are sea cucumber, eel, and stir fry rice cake with cabbage... Also the brace pork it's amazing.

I'd say this restaurant is a hidden treasure in LA. It is family owned, not appealing from exterior or interior but that's not the point. More importantly, their Shanghainese cuisine is one of the best in LA. The lady boss and her reception is always delightful. Chef is the owner so you can make sure he makes every dishes with cares. No MSG. A great place for family gathering.

Stopped in on a rainy day. It was perfect "comfort" home meal. The food was hot and steamy. We ordered kung pao chicken and pork ribs Shanghai Style. A hole in the wall hidden gem don't hesitate to walk in. Yummy for my tummy.

Not fancy, just good home style Shanghainese cooking at reasonable prices. None of the dishes we ordered had any filler, just like how my family would make it at home. Yum!
