Notable Picks
8.4
A Sichuan-forward dining room on Austin Street built around punchy chile heat, tingly peppercorn, and shareable mains that reward ordering family-style. It’s at its best when you lean into the signature cold starters and the deeper-braised dishes, then round things out with one comforting noodle or rice plate.
Must-Try Dishes:
Smashed cucumber salad, Crispy shredded beef, Mapo tofu
What Makes it Special: Sichuan-and-Hunan-leaning cooking with real spice precision and shareable depth.
#2
The Bund
8.1
A Shanghainese specialist that locals use for dumplings, wontons, and noodle soups that feel like a real meal rather than a takeout fix. The move is to start with soup dumplings, add one savory staple (wontons or rice cakes), and keep the order focused so everything lands hot and textural.
Must-Try Dishes:
Soup dumplings (xiao long bao), Shanghai jumbo wontons, Rice cakes with pork
What Makes it Special: Shanghainese dumpling-and-wonton strengths in a neighborhood-friendly room.
