Food was mediocre at best and with quite disappointing. It's tough to do things well in Shanghai as I have lived here for almost a decade, it doesn't mean you can't try. The latkes were lukewarm and really dark, meaning they were overfried and the oil is very old. When we ate it, they added no salt or any seasoning. These small details are really annoying because this is supposed to be better quality food and service, but it wasn't like that. The french fries, like the latkes came lukewarm and we were the only customers at the place. How hard is it to get the food right? The main courses, chicken steak and vegetables mufka also came lukewarm and not very tasty at all. And finally after lunch, my friend had diarrhea after eating the chicken steak, no joke. You can easily tell, they don't use good ingredients or quality vegetables with their food. The simple details of seasoning the fries, latkes, or the food coming out hot just wasn't there. Their breads are ok, but the food was not good. I would much rather eat at Chinese places or street food, at least you are getting the right deal and price for the food. The stuff you order is piping hot, they make no pretensions that their food is gourmet, and it's much better than restaurants like Haya.
