Tian Xin Place

The service isn't as fast as other similar places but I think I enjoyed the dessert selection more. I wish prices were better. This is a place you'll find a lot of young people and young families. Hopefully they eventually get a better location and make it more of a date spot as the atmosphere is lacking but it still gets very busy. We ordered a variety of desserts: sweet potato latte, various shaved iced milk dishes like strawberry, tiramisu, blueberry and one other that I forgot but it tasted like peanut butter with almonds. I also had the ginger lemon drink. We all shared each dish and everything tasted great. Many other people shared their dishes as well at other tables. The large sizes are meant to be shared.

This place is a treasure for me since I was from the same city as the owners, I come here every now and then when I’m missing the taste of childhood. It tastes exactly like those fancy restaurants 20 years ago in Nanjing. The chef was professionally trained there those days that’s why. I understand some people might think it’s pricy with small quantity of food. But for us, me and my Russian husband, this taste is very special and we came here for the memory’s sake.

Best soup dumplings I've ever had! And one of the few places where you can get authentic Shanghai food in the city. The owners are wonderful and always do their best to accommodate special requests. Highly recommend!
