My friend and I were planning to try this noodle place but she decided to change place last minute. We went to Morning Shanghai. My friend said she has been there like a million times and wants me to try. The restaurant isn't too big but it's alright, very Chinese restaurant style. The chair covers looked very used up but whatever. We were seated at this corner by the window and we kept hearing banging noise against the window... Service was good, nothing super good or bad about it.
We ordered the steam mini pork buns ($5ish), pan fried pork buns ($5ish), and the braised chicken noodle soup ($7ish). I don't remember the prices for each but the total came up to be $19 something only after tax without tips yet. I wanted to try their spicy dishes but my friend can't eat spicy food.
Their food were good but I think it's similar the other Shanghai restaurants. It's a bit hard for me to comment, not too sure what perfect Shanghai food should taste like. All of them had the right amount of flavours, not overly salty or bland. The steam mini pork buns and pan fried pork buns wrapper was an ok thickness, not doughy. The pork filling was pretty normal, they didn't add anything into it but original is good.

The braised chicken noodle soup was very normal and plain. The chicken pieces were mostly fat meat, at least that's what it felt like to me, it was super soft and had that melt in your mouth feeling when you eat fat (I kind of like it lol, did I tell you I love fat meat? I try not to eat fat though). There were some bok choy or some veggie in it. The noodle was good, it didn't have a chewy texture, it reminds me of "yi mein" but in soup. The soup had a veggie taste to it, not sure what made the soup so white, unless if they used fish, don't think I tasted any fish though.
Overall, I think their food was pretty good at a reasonable price. I will come back again and maybe try other dishes.
