this little place (1 waiter, 1 cook) is full of treats for vegetarians: try their excellent kao fu (if you don't know what that is, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise), cold bamboo shoots, vegetarian dumplings, vegetarian duck (or goose or chicken or whatever they call it there), shanghai cabbage with bean curd sheets, etc. meat-eaters also tend to love this place for its tam-tam noodles, soup dumplings, etc. the waiter speaks english, cantonese and mandarin (and maybe shanghainese too....i wouldn't know). an all-around outstanding restaurant.
