New Shanghai Restaurant Review

: After original chef C. K. Sau departed for the suburbs, this beloved Shanghainese spot saw some dark days. But now that it’s been acquired by the folks who run Allston’s Shanghai Gate, it seems to be back on track. As with virtually any Chinatown eatery, don’t expect amenities and don’t expect to be mollycoddled; if you want to get to the good stuff, you’ve got to take some initiative---and some chances on specialties, among them cold appetizers like pickled fish and salted chicken as well as expertly made buns and pies. But we’ve become especially addicted to the enormous, juicy lion’s head meatballs and rice-flour pockets filled with garlic-sauced pork.
