After crushing a half marathon, my friend and I stumbled into Golden Shanghai on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated immediately – no wait! – and the staff was incredibly attentive throughout our meal. We ordered shrimp fried rice, steamed pork dumplings, General Tso's chicken, and pork chop with salt and pepper. Honestly, we devoured everything. Maybe it was the post-race hunger, but every dish was delicious. It was a really pleasant experience. Sometimes you just have to take a chance on a lower-rated spot. We're glad we did! Will we come back? Maybe… - Enzo Tan
