After eating at 10 Shanghai for the first time it is now my first choice for Shanghai raw food in Hong Kong. The food is pricey and I would expect to pay somewhere between 400-500 hkd per person and could be more if you are ordering the more expensive dishes. I enjoyed all the dishes we ordered with some being real stand outs. The restaurant design and aesthetic is really top notch.
Food: 4.5 stars Environment: 4.5 stars Service: 4 stars Value: 4 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: fried yellow croaker, Yangzhou fried rice, chicken and wonton soup, pan fried jujube crepe, hairy crab tofu, crispy xiaolongbao
There was a special hairy crab menu as hairy crab is in season. The hair crab tofu was really fantastic. It is the second best version that I have ever had including mainly restaurants in Shanghai. (Highly recommended)
The fried Yellow croaker is another dish I have had countless times and is a good barometer for Shanghai restaurants. The fish had a nice crispy skin and tender flaky meat. Thumbs up for this dish as well.
I also really enjoyed the chicken and dumpling soup. The chicken broth is clearly double boiled and has a nice richness and depth to it. The wontons are really the stars of the dish. They are substantial and are really well done.

Read moreA good friend just jumped ship to join 1957 group to direct the operation, I must support! Hairy Crab season though not my favourite, called up gang of 12, 2 tables under 1st day relaxation of COVID restriction. Arrived, nice entrance, high ceiling hall feels airy and comfy. Service are warm and subtle, a plus, lighting warm and not bright like tradition Chinese place, another plus. Guests arrive and starting our meal, we ordered a set, thus serve with Shanghainese entree’, tasty and just right portion, thus crab meat soup.... follow the main cast Mr. Hairy🦀! Love that jello like inside with drops of aged wine vinegar, crab is small, but intense tasting, changed my impression! Than of course steam crab egg in shell and finish with abalone fried rice. Another surprise, we were served with warm Chinese yellow rice wine, happy meal! I recommend this place for those who love Shanghainese, it’s worth the...
Read moreOne of the restaurants I frequented when I was in Hong Kong. I went back to try today, after 3 years of covid lock-down. The food quality still remains the same, and I am so glad they survive the pandemic.
My recommendations: Marinated rosy jellyfish head with aged vinegar Smoked soft boiled eggs with black truffle pearls (highly recommended) Roasted bran dough with peanuts and black fungus Soup (any) Sizzling steam fried shanghai pork buns (highly recommended) Stewed noodles with yellow croaker and pickled cabbage Black soybean tofu pudding in wooden bucket
There are some other dishes which I would recommend, but at the moment I can't recall.
I would commend on service manager Elaine on her...
