What Our Guests Say
Yuan’s Garden is honoured to be part of your most meaningful moments. Hear what our guests have to say about their dining experience with us.
Had a great meal with family not long ago. Wonderful atmosphere, layout a little tight but good enough. Food was very tasty. Order the Shanghai rice cakes, chicken noodle, fried buns, Xiang long bao, and others. Had a great time. Parking was limited but adequate.

To be clear first, this is actually a restaurant more specialized in Huaiyang cuisine rather than a Shanghainese restaurant.
Some of the best dishes include Sangji Bun and Tofu Noddle （揚州煮乾絲）, which are both juicy and authentic. This place perhaps has the best Sangji Bun in the whole area, with is a must try

My favourite Shanghainese food in town. Reservation is required. Big portions and decent prices. I would recommend the Woton Chicken Soup. I was shocked by how big their small portion was. The chicken soup was creamy, the dumplings were filled and flavourful, lots of veggies and a huge chicken. The Pan Fried Meat Dumplings （锅贴） and Xiaolongbao （小笼包）is also really decent. Served very hot. ......
Highly recommend!

This restaurant specializes in Southeastern Chinese cuisine and offers a descent dining environment. The manager provides excellent service, and the dishes are usually quite good. It’s a popular restaurant, so you may need to queue up for dinner sometimes.

Very authentic Shanghainese cuisine. Generous portions as well. Definitely one of our go to's.
If you are eating dinner there, I would strongly recommend eating the first round, so 5 or 5:30pm, because parking is very limited. There's also paid street parking on Alexandra Road.
Also make sure to make a reservation, especially on the weekends, to make sure you get a table!
