Shanghai, often called the Paris of the East, developed its distinctive cuisine by refining dishes from surrounding provinces. The resulting flavors, as well as styles of preparation, reflect a Shanghainese preference for food that is generally richer, subtler, and more complex than either familiar Cantonese or Pekinese cuisines. We invite you to experience dishes that reflect the uniquely satisfying Shanghai sensibility.

Reviewed in the New York Times
The Shanghai dishes I tasted were rich and satisfying and beautifully rendered. Our Place has the feel of a fine yet informal banquet.  Eric Asimov

This Midtown favorite is a good choice for top-tier, mid-priced Chinese with some genuine Shanghai surprises. Calming decor, attentive service, on-time delivery makes Our Place consistently worth the few extra bucks.

First–rate Shanghai specialties meet above-average NY-Style Chinese Classics at the Midtown Sister of the high-end East Side Duo.  The service is genteel while the white tablecloth setting and semi-elegance decor adds to its allure.

ZAGAT 2005
This Midtown favorite has everthing you love about Chinatown but adjusted for East Side sensibilities. Come for authentic, delicious Shanghai specialties, enjoyed in a serene setting, with gracious service.

ZAGAT 2004

The Midtown branch of the civilized East Side duo, where the dishes are consistently rated very good to excellent, and the service is always gracious.

This linen-table cloth Midtowner is fancier than your standard neighborhood Chinese and enjoys a very loyal following for its cut above cuisine...comfortable surroundings...and its solicitous service. Definitely worth the extra buck or two.
