Absolutely the best Chinese restaurant in Michigan. They offer authentic Shanghainese cuisine. Dumplings are even better than Din Tai Fung, and everything we had was very nice. Reservation only, and you must order ahead as well because they cook everything fresh on the day. I’ve been to most of the well know Chinese restaurants in the metro Detroit and this place is the best without a doubt.

Definitely a special and unique place that I would highly recommend! The soup dumplings were supposedly the star of the show, but I personally really enjoyed the sweet glutinous rice wine soup. I love that there were glutinous rice balls with black sesame paste as well as tapioca pearls in there, and it seemed like the black sesame paste was made with some type of lard (maybe pork or duck?) which really elevated the flavors of the whole thing. There’s something so satisfying about sweet and savory flavors with a touch of sourness from the rice wine in that soup. And of course, the dried osmathus flowers floating at the top created the most delicate aroma. The other dishes were wonderful as well, but I’ve never had a sweet glutinous rice wine soup quite like Jeff’s. If my taste buds could sing, this would be it.

I don’t understand what these bad reviews are complaining about. It’s clearly stated on the website and the menu that it’s by reservation only, dishes have to be pre-ordered, and only one card per table is accepted.

First and foremost, no complain on the food. It’s good Shanghai cuisine. Yes, I’ve been to Shanghai and other cities in China many times.

Phenomenal food! Note: you have to have a reservation to get a table (at least for dinner). Because the chef makes everything fresh when you order it, you should order your meal at least one day in advance if you want something specific. Otherwise, you only eat what he has on hand. Expensive but definitely worth it! You are the only people to sit at your table all night, so you get to spend as long as you want and are not rushed at all. We loved the fried buns, soup dumplings, and crystal shrimp (pictured).

This is probably the best Shanghainese style restaurant near Detroit. Most of the cuisine are authentic, such as Xiang You Shan Hu (rice field eel), Zui Ji (wined chicken), and Chao Mian (Shanghai-style fried noodle). You need to reserve at least one day before you visit, not only for space, but also for the food. They need to prepare the food beforehand. One thing you need to know is that it takes a while for them to prepare the food even if you have reserved. It is normal that you come to the restaurant and wait for 30 minutes before you get the meal. In addition, their food is a little expensive. However, I think it is worthy if you are a fan of Shanghainese meal or if you want to try some Shanghainese cuisine.

Best Asian food I’ve eaten in Michigan. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork dumplings, giant wonton soup, and the shu mai. Soup dumpling were incredible. We will be coming back. You do need to order when you make a reservation because they buy food and prep it the day of your reservation. Pricy, but absolutely worth it.
